On April 17, 2020, the registrant announced the completion of its previously announced
going private transaction with respect to Changyou.com Limited (Changyou) (the Changyou Merger). A copy of the press release issued by the registrant regarding the foregoing is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
Funds for the registrants consummation of the Changyou Merger are being provided by Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited,
Tokyo Branch (ICBC Tokyo) pursuant to a facility agreement (the Facility Agreement) entered into as of April 3, 2020 between ICBC Tokyo, the registrants indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Sohu.com (Game) Limited
(Sohu Game) as borrower and the registrant as guarantor. The Facility Agreement provides for a term loan facility of up to $250 million (the Term Facility), subject to customary conditions, consisting of (i) a one-year term facility for term loans of up to $100 million (the One-Year Facility) and (ii) a four-year term facility for term loans of up to
$150 million (the Four-Year Facility). The outstanding principal amount of the loans under the One-Year Facility will be due in full on the one-year
anniversary of the date of the first utilization of the One-Year Facility. The outstanding principal amount of the loans under the Four-Year Facility will be due in installments, with $7.5 million due and
payable at the end of each of the second and third calendar years during the term of the Four-Year Facility and the remaining outstanding principal amount due and payable on the fourth anniversary of the date of the first utilization of the One-Year Facility.
The Term Facility bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75%, with
Three Month LIBOR to be determined by ICBC on the basis of the London InterBank Offered Rate published two business days before the first day of each three calendar month interest period. Accrued interest will be due every three calendar months on
the first day after the end of each such three-month interest period.
The obligations of Sohu Game as borrower under the Term Facility
are initially fully guaranteed by the registrant, and are initially secured by first priority share pledges or mortgages over 97.9% of the outstanding equity interests in Changyou. In addition, Sohu Game is required to cause Changyou, within one
(1) month after the initial funding under the Term Facility, to pledge a deposit certificate evidencing a Renminbi, the legal currency of China (RMB), deposit equivalent to not less $125 million at an exchange rate of $1.00 =
RMB7.20 and, within three months after the initial funding under the Term Facility, to pledge RMB deposit certificates evidencing amounts equivalent to the Facility Agreement amount (including the initial $125 million-equivalent deposit
certificate). Upon the effectiveness of such additional pledge, the registrants guarantee and all share pledges or mortgages over the outstanding equity interests in Changyou will be released and discharged.
