Events.
On February 15, 2013, China Growth Equity
Investment Ltd. (the “CGEI”) issued a press release announcing that it had postponed its shareholder meeting originally
scheduled to take place on February 21, 2013. The shareholder meeting was postponed until February 25, 2013 at 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, at its original location. The record date for the shareholder meeting remains January 28, 2013. Shareholders may
tender their shares for redemption until 5:00 p.m. New York City time, February 22, 2013, in accordance with the procedures described
in the CGEI’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 6, 2013. A copy of the
press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Disclaimer:
This communication shall not constitute
an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction
in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws
of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section
10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Additional Information
In connection
with the proposed business combination, CGEI has prepared and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
a definitive proxy statement. The definitive proxy statement and a form of proxy will be mailed to the shareholders of CGEI. Before
making any voting decision, shareholders are urged to read the proxy statement carefully and in its entirety because it will contain
important information about the proposed merger. Shareholders will be able to obtain, without charge, a copy of the proxy statement
and other relevant documents filed with the SEC when they become available through the SEC's website at
http://www.sec.gov
.
Shareholders will also be able to obtain, without charge, a copy of the proxy statement and other relevant documents when they
become available by contacting CGEI's Corporate Secretary, Chantelle Bai, at CN11 Legend Town, No.1 Balizhuangdongli, Chaoyang
District, Beijing, 100025, P.R.C., telephone number (+86-10-6550-3186), or by email to
cbai@chum.com.cn
.
Participants in the Solicitation
CGEI and its directors and officers may
be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the shareholders of CGEI in connection with the proposed business
combination. Information regarding the officers and directors of CGEI is available in CGEI's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2012, which has been filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the interests of such potential
participants will also be included in the proxy statement for the proposed business combination and the other relevant documents
filed with the SEC.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking
statements that reflect CGEI's current beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding future events. Any statements contained in
this press release that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Words such as "to
merge," "to name," "to receive," "will," "may," "could," "should,"
"expect," "expected," "proposed," "contemplated," "plan," "project,"
"intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential,"
"continue," and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements
include, without limitation, CGEI's expectations with respect to the combined company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions
with respect to future operations; approval and adoption of business combination by the requisite number of shareholders; and the
timing of the completion of the proposed business combination. All forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, many of
which are generally outside the control of CGEI's and are difficult to predict. Examples of such risks and uncertainties include,
but are not limited to: (i) the failure of the business combination to close for any reason; (ii) general business and economic
conditions; (iii) the performance of financial markets; (iv) risks relating to the consummation of the contemplated business combination,
including the risk that required shareholder approval and regulatory agencies might not be obtained in a timely manner or at all
or that other closing conditions are not satisfied; (v) the impact of the business combination on the markets for the combined
company's products and services; (vi) the employees of CGEI, CDGC and Pingtan Fishing not being combined and integrated successfully;
(vii) operating costs and business disruption following the business combination, including adverse effects on employee retention
and on CGEI's, CDGC's and Pingtan Fishing's business relationships with third parties; (viii) the inability of the combined company
following the closing of the business combination to meet NASDAQ's listing requirements and the failure of the combined company's
securities to be listed or continue to be listed on NASDAQ; (ix) the amount of cash available to the combined company following
the business combination being insufficient to allow CGEI, CDGC, Pingtan Fishing or the combined company to achieve their business
goals; and (xi) the future performance of the combined company following the closing of the business combination. Additional factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements can be found
in the most recent annual report on Form 10-K, and the subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on
Form 8-K filed by CGEI with the SEC, as well as the proxy statement when it becomes available. CGEI anticipates that subsequent
events and developments may cause its views and expectations to change. CGEI assumes no obligation, and they specifically disclaim
any intention or obligation, to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.
