shares of Hurray! in connection with the acquisition of Ku6 Holding Limited (

Share Purchase Agreement
).
Revocability of Proxies
Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any
time before its use by delivering a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a
later date or, if you hold ordinary shares, by attending the special general meeting and voting in
person. Attendance at the special general meeting in and of itself does not revoke a prior proxy.
A written notice of revocation must be delivered to the attention of Tianqiao Chen, our Chairman of
the Board of Directors, if you hold our ordinary shares, or to Citibank, N.A., if you hold ADSs.
Record Date, Share Ownership and Quorum
Shareholders of record at the close of business on December 2, 2009 are entitled to vote at
the special general meeting. Our ordinary shares underlying ADSs are included for purposes of this
determination. As of November 30, 2009, 2,199,852,640 of our
ordinary shares, par value US$0.00005 per share, were issued and outstanding, of which
approximately 10,021,075 were represented by ADSs. The presence in person or by proxy of
shareholders holding at least one-third of the issued ordinary shares entitled to vote at the
meeting will constitute a quorum.
Voting and Solicitation
Each share outstanding on the record date is entitled to one vote. Voting by holders of
ordinary shares at the special general meeting will be by a show of hands unless the chairman of
the meeting or any shareholder present in person or by proxy demands that a poll be taken. Holders
of ADSs cannot vote at such meeting. See Voting by Holders of American Depositary Shares below.
The costs of soliciting proxies will be borne by Hurray!. Proxies may be solicited by certain
of our directors, officers and regular employees, without additional compensation, in person or by
telephone or electronic mail. The solicitation materials are available on our website at
http://www.hurray.com
under the heading Investor Relations. Hard copies of the
solicitation materials are available upon request to shareholders free of charge.
Voting by Holders of Ordinary Shares
Holders of ordinary shares should vote by either attending the meeting in person or by mailing
the Proxy Card to us as instructed therein. The Proxy Card should be mailed to us at Attention:
Legal Counsel, 11/F, China Railway Construction Plaza, No. 20 Shijingshan Road, Shijingshan
District, Beijing, 100131, The Peoples Republic of China, as soon as possible to ensure receipt by
us before December 30, 2009.
When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned by holders of ordinary shares, the
shares they represent will be voted at the special general meeting in accordance with the
instructions of such shareholders. If no specific instructions are given by such holders, the
shares will be voted FOR the Proposal and in the proxy holders discretion as to other matters
that may properly come before the special general meeting. Abstentions by holders of ordinary
shares are included in the determination of the number of shares present and voting but are not
counted as votes for or against a proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted towards a quorum
or for any purpose in determining whether any proposal is approved.
Voting by Holders of American Depositary Shares
Citibank, N.A., as depositary of the ADSs, has advised us that it intends to mail to all
owners of record of ADSs the Notice of Special General Meeting of Shareholders and an ADR Voting
Instruction Card. Upon the written request of an owner of record of ADSs, Citibank, N.A. will
endeavor, to the extent practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the amount of shares represented
by such ADSs, evidenced by American Depositary Receipts related to such ADSs, in accordance with
the instructions set forth in such request. Citibank, N.A. has advised us that it will not vote or
attempt to exercise the right to vote other than in accordance with those instructions. As the
holder of record for all of the shares represented by the ADSs, only Citibank, N.A. may vote those
shares at the special general meeting.
2
Citibank, N.A. and its agents are not responsible if they fail to carry out your voting
instructions or for the manner in which they carry out your voting instructions. This means that
if the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs are not able to be voted at the special general
meeting, there may be nothing you can do.
If (i) the ADR Voting Instruction Card is signed but is missing voting instructions, (ii) the
ADR Voting Instruction Card is improperly completed or (iii) no ADR Voting Instruction Card is
received by Citibank, N.A. from a holder of ADSs by
December 30, 2009 at 10:00 a.m., New York City
time
, Citibank, N.A. will deem such holder of ADSs to have instructed it to give a proxy to the
chairman of the special general meeting to vote in favor of each proposal recommended by our board
of directors and against each proposal opposed by our board of directors.
Votes Required to Approve the Proposal
Approval of the Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast
on the Proposal at the special general meeting if a quorum is present.
No Additional Matters May Be Presented at the Special General Meeting

considered at the special general meeting, if they are not included in the notice of the meeting.

At the closing, each of the Sellers and each of Mr. Shanyou Li, Mr. Kun Han, Mr. Xingye Zeng
and Mr. Zhizhong Hao (collectively, the
Executive Officers
) will enter into a Lock-Up Agreement

Shareholder, will also enter into a Side Letter with Hurray!, pursuant to which the Executive
Officers agree not to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of their shares in the Management
Shareholder for a period of two years of the closing.
Necessity of Shareholder Approval
Hurray! is subject to the Marketplace Rules promulgated by the NASDAQ Stock Market because its
ADSs are traded on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol HRAY.
Under Rule 5365(a)(1), shareholder approval must be sought in connection with a transaction
(other than a public offering for cash) involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the
issuer of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) equal to
20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance.
For purposes of this rule, the outstanding common stock or voting power of the issuer is
determined as of a date the issuer enters into a binding agreement with respect to such issuance or
potential issuance, which in the case of the Acquisition is December 14, 2009.
The total number of Hurray!s ordinary shares to be issued in connection with the Acquisition
is 723,684,204, 32.9% of 2,199,852,640, the number of outstanding Hurray!s ordinary shares as at
December 14, 2009.
Hurray!s Reasons for the Acquisition
Hurray!s Board of Directors has concluded that the Acquisition is in the best interests of
its shareholders. In approving the Share Purchase Agreement, Hurray!s Board of Directors relied
on information (including financial information) relating to Ku6, the regulatory environment and
the industry fundamentals. Hurray!s Board of Directors believes that the Acquisition brings to
Hurray! a new media platform that complements Hurray!s existing digital music and mobile
distribution platform, and after the Acquisition Hurray! will be better-positioned to capture
opportunities in the fast-growing internet and media market in China.
Regulatory Matters
The Acquisition is not subject to any material regulatory requirement or approval, other than
that described in this proxy statement relating to NASD Marketplace Rules.
7
Consequences if the Proposal is Not Approved
If the Proposal is not approved by Hurray!s shareholders, then Hurray! will not be able to
consummate the Acquisition upon the terms currently contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement.
Required Vote
Approval of the Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast
on the Proposal at the special general meeting if a quorum is present. We have been informed by
Shanda Interactive Entertainment Limited, which beneficially owned approximately 56.1% of our
outstanding ordinary shares (including ADSs) as of December 14, 2009, that it intends to vote or
cause to be vote all of its ordinary shares (including ordinary shares represented by ADSs) in
favor of the Proposal.
Recommendation
The Board of Directors believes that it is in Hurray!s best interests that the shareholders
authorize the issuance of 723,684,204 ordinary shares of Hurray! in connection with Acquisition
pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement.
