AirMedia Enters into Definitive Merger Agreement for Going Private Transaction

BEIJING, September 30, 2015 — AirMedia Group Inc. (“AirMedia” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AMCN), a leading operator of out-of-home advertising platforms in China targeting mid-to-high end consumers, as well as a first-mover in the in-flight and on-train Wi-Fi market, today announced that it has entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with AirMedia Holdings Ltd. (“Parent”) and AirMedia Merger Company Limited (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, pursuant to which Parent will acquire AirMedia (the “Transaction”) for US$3.00 per ordinary share of the Company (a “Share”) or US$6.00 per American depositary share, each representing two Shares (an “ADS”). This amount represents a premium of 70.5% over the Company’s closing price of US$3.52 per ADS on June 18, 2015, the last trading day prior to June 19, 2015, the date that the Company announced that it had received a “going-private” proposal.

Immediately after the completion of the Transaction, Parent will be ultimately beneficially owned by Mr. Herman Guo Man, Ms. Dan Shao, Mr. Qing Xu (collectively, the “Buyer Group”), certain members of the management of the Company and a special purpose vehicle holding shares of the Parent reserved for the vesting or exercise of future employee share incentive awards Parent intends to issue. To date, the Buyer Group beneficially owns, in the aggregate, approximately 35% of the outstanding Shares (excluding outstanding options of the Company).

The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), acting upon the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”), approved the Merger Agreement and the Transaction and resolved to recommend that the Company’s shareholders vote to authorize and approve the Merger Agreement and the Transaction. The Special Committee, which is composed solely of independent directors of the Company who are unaffiliated with Parent, Merger Sub or any member of the Buyer Group or management of the Company, exclusively negotiated the terms of the Merger Agreement with the Buyer Group with the assistance of its independent financial and legal advisors.

The Transaction is subject to various closing conditions, including a condition that the Merger Agreement be authorized and approved by an affirmative vote of shareholders representing two-thirds or more of the Shares present and voting in person or by proxy as a single class at a meeting of the Company’s shareholders convened to consider the authorization and approval of the Merger Agreement. The Buyer Group has agreed to vote all of the Shares beneficially owned by them in favor of the authorization and approval of the Merger Agreement and the Transaction. If completed, the Transaction will result in the Company becoming a privately-held company and its ADSs will no longer be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market.

The Buyer Group intends to fund the Transaction from the proceeds of a loan to be provided by China Merchants Bank Co., Ltd., New York Branch pursuant to a debt commitment letter dated September 29, 2015.

The Company will prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Schedule 13E-3 transaction statement, which will include a proxy statement of the Company. The Schedule 13E-3 will include a description of the Merger Agreement and contain other important information about the Transaction, the Company and the other participants in the Transaction.

Duff & Phelps, LLC and Duff & Phelps Securities, LLC (together, “Duff & Phelps”) are serving as financial advisors to the Special Committee. Kirkland & Ellis is serving as U.S. legal advisor to the Special Committee and Maples and Calder is serving as Cayman Islands legal advisor to the Company and Commerce & Finance Law Offices is serving as PRC legal advisor to the Company. Duane Morris & Selvam LLP is serving as legal advisor to Duff & Phelps.

Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is serving as U.S. legal advisor to the Buyer Group and Zhong Lun Law Firm and Travers Thorp Alberga are serving as PRC and Cayman Islands legal advisors to the Buyer Group, respectively.

With respect to the previously announced sale of AirMedia Group Co., Ltd., the Company has determined that shareholder approval is not required and the Company will proceed to the closing of such transaction.

Remittances for the Per Share Merger Consideration or the Per ADS Merger Consideration, as the case may be, shall not be sent to holders of Shares or ADSs who are untraceable unless and until, except as provided below, they notify the Paying Agent or the Depositary, as applicable, of their current contact details prior to the Effective Time.

Dissenting Shareholders and holders of Shares or ADSs who are untraceable who subsequently wish to receive any monies otherwise payable in respect of the Merger within applicable time limits or limitation periods will be advised to contact the Surviving Company.

(g) Termination of Exchange Fund . Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any income or proceeds thereof or of any investment thereof) that remains undistributed to the holders of Shares or ADSs for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Company upon demand, and any holders of Shares (other than the Excluded Shares) and ADSs that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company for the cash to which they are entitled pursuant to Sections 2.01(a), 2.01(b) and 2.02. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares and ADSs as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

10

(h) No Liability . None of the Paying Agent, the Rollover Shareholders, Parent, the Surviving Company or the Depositary shall be liable to any holder of Shares for any such Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs, dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or Company Share Awards, for any amount delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(i) Withholding Rights . Each of Parent, the Surviving Company, Merger Sub, the Paying Agent and the Depositary (and any other Person that has a withholding obligation pursuant to this Agreement), without double counting, shall only be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares, ADSs or Company Share Awards such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under (i) any provision of U.S. federal, state or local tax laws that are either compensatory-related withholding with respect to holders of Company Share Awards on account of their Company Share Awards or U.S. federal backup withholding tax or any similar state or local withholding obligations to a payee that does not provide the required documentation with respect to its U.S. tax status or (ii) any PRC tax laws that is compensatory-related withholding with respect to holders of Company Share Awards on account of their Company Share Awards. In the event that Parent, the Surviving Company, Merger Sub, the Paying Agent, or the Depositary (or any other Person that has a withholding obligation pursuant to this Agreement) determines that any such permitted deduction or withholding is required to be made from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, such Person shall promptly inform the Special Committee and the other parties hereto of such determination and provide them with a reasonably detailed explanation of such determination and the parties hereto shall consult with each other in good faith regarding such determination. To the extent that such permitted amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Company, Merger Sub, the Paying Agent or the Depositary (or such other Person), as the case may be, and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares, ADSs or Company Share Awards in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Company, Merger Sub, the Paying Agent or the Depositary (or such other Person), as the case may be.

Section 2.05 No Transfers .

On or after the Effective Time, any Share Certificates presented to the Paying Agent, Parent or Surviving Company for transfer or any other reason shall be canceled (except for the Excluded Shares and the Dissenting Shares) in exchange for the right to receive the cash consideration to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(a).

Section 2.06 Termination of Deposit Agreement . As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall provide notice to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

For the avoidance of doubt, while the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance as permitted by Section 9.08 and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.06(b), plus any amounts pursuant to Section 8.06(c) (if any), under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both such grant of specific performance and payment of the Parent Termination Fee. In addition, the Company shall be the only Person entitled to seek payment of the Parent Termination Fee and such expenses. This provision was specifically bargained for and reflected in the Merger Consideration and is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each member of the Parent Group.

This Limited Guarantee may be enforced for the payment of money only. All payments hereunder shall be made in United States dollars, in immediately available funds. Each Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder free and clear of any deduction, offset, defense, claim or counterclaim of any kind. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Guaranteed Party entered into the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement in reliance on this Limited Guarantee.

(a) If Parent or Merger Sub is in breach of the Guaranteed Obligations, then all of the Guarantors’ liabilities and obligations to the Guaranteed Party hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall, at the Guarantee Party’s option, become immediately due and payable and the Guaranteed Party may at any time and , from time to time, at the Guaranteed Party’s option, take any and all actions available hereunder or under applicable law to collect the Guaranteed Obligations (subject to the Maximum Amount).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Limited Guarantee shall terminate and the Guarantors shall have no further obligations under this Limited Guarantee as of the earliest of: (i) the Effective Time, (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms (other than a termination of the Merger Agreement for which a Parent Termination Fee is, in accordance with Section 8.06(b) of the Merger Agreement, due and owing by Parent (a “Qualifying Termination”)), and (iii) the date following ninety (90) days from the date of a Qualifying Termination if the Guaranteed Party has not presented a written claim for payment of the Guaranteed Obligation to any Guarantor by such date; provided, that, if the Guaranteed Party has presented such a written claim by such date, this Limited Guarantee shall terminate upon the date that such claim is finally satisfied or otherwise resolved by agreement of the parties hereto or by a final, non-appealable resolution of such claim pursuant to Section 11 (Governing Law; Jurisdiction) hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Guaranteed Party or any of its controlled Affiliates (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Rollover Shareholder) or any of their Affiliates or any such Persons’ respective officers and directors) asserts in any litigation or other proceeding that any provision of this Limited Guarantee limiting any Guarantor’s liability to the Maximum Amount is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part or that any Guarantor is liable for an amount in excess of or to a greater extent than the Maximum Amount, or asserts any theory of liability against any Non-Recourse Party with respect to this Limited Guarantee, the Merger Agreement, any other agreement or instrument delivered in connection with this Limited Guarantee or the Merger Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than the Retained Claims (as defined in Section 10 hereof), then (x) the obligations of the Guarantors under this Limited Guarantee shall terminate and be null and void ab initio, (y) if any Guarantor has previously made any payments under this Limited Guarantee, it shall be entitled to recover such payments and (z) neither such Guarantor nor any Non-Recourse Party shall have any liability to the Guaranteed Party or any of its controlled Affiliates (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Rollover Shareholder or any of their Affiliates or any such Persons’ respective officers and directors) with respect to this Limited Guarantee, the Merger Agreement, any other agreement or instrument delivered in connection with this Limited Guarantee or the Merger Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. If any payment or payments made by Parent or Merger Sub in respect of the Parent Termination Fee or any part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other person under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or payments, the Guaranteed Obligations or part thereof hereunder intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made.

9. NO RECOURSE. Each Guarantor shall have no obligations under or in connection with this Limited Guarantee except as expressly provided by this Limited Guarantee. No personal liability shall attach to, and no recourse shall be had by the Guaranteed Party, any of its Affiliates or any Person purporting to claim by or through any of them or for the benefit of any of them, under any theory of liability (including without limitation by attempting to pierce a corporate or other veil or by attempting to compel any party to enforce any actual or purported right that they may have against any Person) against any Non-Recourse Party, except for claims with respect to (i) the Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns (but not any Non-Recourse Party) under this Limited Guarantee pursuant to the terms thereof or hereof, as applicable, (ii) the signatories and their respective successor and assigns (but not any Non-Recourse Party) under the Financing Document or pursuant to the terms thereof, (iii) Parent and Merger Sub and their respective successors and assigns under the Merger Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, (iv) all signatories and their respective successors and assigns under the Confidentiality Agreements pursuant to the terms thereof, and (iv) any of the Rollover Shareholders or their respective successors and assigns (but not any Non-Recourse Party) under the Voting Agreement (the “Retained Claims”). The Guarantors hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agree not to exercise any rights that they may now have or hereafter acquire against Parent or Merger Sub that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations under or in respect of this Limited Guarantee or any other agreement in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts that may be payable under this Limited Guarantee shall have been paid in full in cash. As used herein, the term “ Non-Recourse Parties ” means the Guarantors and any former, current or future equity holders, controlling Persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, general or limited partners, managers, members or Affiliates of the Guarantors (including but not limited to Merger Sub and Parent) and any former, current or future equity holders, controlling Persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, general or limited partners, managers, members or Affiliates of any of the foregoing.

10. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION.

(a) This Limited Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the choice of Law principles thereof.

(b) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Limited Guarantee or its subject matter (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity, formation, effect, interpretation, performance or termination of this Limited Guarantee) (each a “ Dispute ”) shall be finally settled by arbitration. The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong, and the arbitration shall be administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “ HKIAC ”) in accordance with the arbitration rules of the HKIAC in force at the date of commencement of the arbitration (the “ HKIAC Rules ”). The arbitration shall be decided by a tribunal of three (3) arbitrators, whose appointment shall be in accordance with the HKIAC Rules. Arbitration proceedings (including but not limited to any arbitral award rendered) shall be in English. Subject to the agreement of the tribunal, any Dispute(s) which arise subsequent to the commencement of arbitration of any existing Dispute(s), shall be resolved by the tribunal already appointed to hear the existing Dispute(s). The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and conclusive and binding upon the parties as from the date rendered. Judgment upon any award may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction over a party or any of its assets. For the purpose of the enforcement of an award, the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any competent court and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.

11. COUNTERPARTS. This Limited Guarantee shall not be effective until it has been executed and delivered by each of the Guarantors and the Guaranteed Party. This Limited Guarantee may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement. This Limited Guarantee may be executed and delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, and in the event this Limited Guarantee is so executed and delivered, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

12. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Limited Guarantee shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Limited Guarantee or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance is determined to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party; provided, however, that this Limited Guarantee may not be enforced against any Guarantor without giving effect to the Maximum Amount or the provisions set forth in Section 10 hereof. Upon such determination that any provision or the application thereof is invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Limited Guarantee so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner so that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

13. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Except for the rights of the Non-Recourse Parties provided hereunder, this Limited Guarantee shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing express or implied in this Limited Guarantee is intended to, or shall, confer upon any other Person any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of, or any rights to enforce or cause the Guaranteed Party to enforce, the obligations set forth herein.

14. CONFIDENTIALITY. This Limited Guarantee shall be treated as confidential and is being provided to the Guaranteed Party solely in connection with the Merger. Unless required by applicable laws, regulations or rules (including rules promulgated by either the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or the Nasdaq Stock Market), this Limited Guarantee may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to in any document, except pursuant to the Merger Agreement or otherwise with the written consent of all the parties hereto.

16. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) This Limited Guarantee, together with the Merger Agreement (including any schedules and exhibits thereto) and any other agreement or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, constitute the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior discussions, negotiations, proposals, undertakings, understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, among Parent, Merger Sub and the Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates on the one hand, and the Guaranteed Party or any of its Affiliates on the other hand. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision hereof shall be enforceable unless approved by the Guaranteed Party and the Guarantors in writing.

(b) The descriptive headings contained in this Limited Guarantee are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Limited Guarantee.

(c) The parties hereto acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed this Limited Guarantee and that any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Limited Guarantee.
