Sunshine Mills Litigation
On September 2, 2011, Ross Systems, Inc.
(Ross), a subsidiary of CDC Software Corporation (the Company), entered into a settlement agreement and mutual general release (the Settlement Agreement) with Sunshine Mills, Inc. relating to all litigation
matters pending between the parties, which will become effective upon the payment by Ross, in cash, of $9.0 million to Sunshine Mills and the placement of an additional $500,000 into escrow, on or prior to September 7, 2011, as further described
below.
Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, for the dismissal of the Lawsuits (as hereinafter defined, and except for
the Insurance Lawsuit) with prejudice and a general release of all claims against Ross, CDC Software, Inc., CDC Software Corporation, and CDC Corporation, Ross agreed that, no later than September 7, 2011, it will: (i) pay an aggregate of $9.0
million in cash to Sunshine Mills, and (ii) deposit $500,000 into an escrow account (the Escrow Deposit). The Escrow Deposit shall be maintained until such time as Sunshine Mills provides an affidavit attesting that it is no longer
using Ross software. In the event that such affidavit is provided on or before December 15, 2011, the entirety of the Escrow Deposit, together with any interest accrued thereon, shall be disbursed to Sunshine Mills. In the event that
Sunshine Mills fails to provide such affidavit by December 15, 2011, $235,200 of the Escrow Deposit shall then be disbursed to Ross. The remainder of the Escrow Deposit shall then be disbursed to Sunshine Mills upon delivery of the affidavit
described above.
The lawsuits covered by the Settlement Agreement include: (i)
Sunshine Mills, Inc. v. Ross Systems,
Inc.
; Civil Action Number 33-CV-2008-900023, in the Circuit Court of Franklin County, Alabama (the Software Lawsuit); (ii)

; Civil Action Number CV-2011-900036 in the Circuit Court of

In addition: (i) each party has agreed to bear its own costs relating to the Lawsuits, and (ii) Sunshine Mills will be
