Shanghai, China, June 19, 2015 E-House (China) Holdings Limited (E-House or the Company) (NYSE: EJ), a leading real estate services company in China, today announced that the independent special committee of the Companys Board of Directors (the Independent Committee), formed to consider a non-binding going-private proposal by Mr. Xin Zhou, co-chairman of the Board and chief executive officer of E-House, and Mr. Neil Nanpeng Shen, a member of the Board, was informed that SINA Corporation (SINA) (NASDAQ: SINA), an existing shareholder of the Company, had joined the buyer group by entering into a consortium agreement with Mr. Zhou and Mr. Shen (together with SINA, the Consortium Members), pursuant to which they have agreed to, among other things, form a consortium to work exclusively with one another to undertake the going-private transaction to acquire all the outstanding shares of the Company other than the shares owned by the Consortium Members or their affiliates (the Transaction).
The Consortium Members and their respective affiliates currently own, in the aggregate, approximately 48% of the Companys total issued and outstanding shares.
E-House was also informed that SINA has agreed to exchange all the E-House shares held by SINA at the closing of the Transaction (the Closing) for a portion of the ordinary shares of Leju Holdings Limited (Leju) held by E-House at the Closing, based on an exchange ratio determined in accordance with a mutually agreed formula. Leju is a majority owned subsidiary of E-House and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
