SALE OF CERTAIN PREMISES AND AUXILIARY FACILITIES IN SKY SOHO

SOHO China Limited (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries the "Group") owns a property development project known as Sky SOHO in Shanghai, the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). The Group acquired the land use rights of Sky SOHO through a listing- for-sale process in August 2010 at the consideration of RMB1,562 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,969 million). Sky SOHO has a total gross floor area ("GFA") of approximately 343,000 square meters ("sq.m.") and a planned sellable/lettable GFA of
228,297 sq.m., comprising office spaces of 194,439 sq.m. and retail premises of 33,857 sq.m.. Construction of Sky SOHO is in progress and it is expected that Sky SOHO will be completed and delivered in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The board (the "Board") of directors (the "Directors") of the Company is pleased to announce
that on 26 September 2014, jl1§(_t�)5t�1'f�0PJ (SOHO (Shanghai) Investment Co.,
Ltd.*) ("SOHO Shanghai"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a pre-sale framework agreement (the "Framework Agreement") with Jilr.J1ff�i fiiVI(_t�)1'f�0PJ (Ctrip Travel Network Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd*) ("Ctrip

The Properties comprise premises of an aggregate sellable GFA of 100,167 sq.m. and certain auxiliary facilities. The Group will continue to hold the remaining part of Sky SOHO as investment properties. After the completion of the Sale, the Group still retains lettable GFA of
128,130 sq.m. in Sky SOHO, including office spaces of 102,964 sq.m. and retail premises of
25,166 sq.m.
The successful sale of part of Sky SOHO demonstrates the quality of the Group's assets and the Company's ability to realize the value of its properties. As Ctrip Affiliates intend to use the Properties as offices for their own employees, especially for technology development and business innovation centers, the Company believes that the Sale to an end-user will bring about more people and activities to Sky SOHO, which will in turn facilitate the leasing of the remaining part of Sky SOHO. Opportunistic recycling of some of the Company's non- core assets will continue to be part of the long-term strategy of the Company. The Company will continue to monitor the market for opportunities to acquire high-quality assets at prime locations in Beijing and Shanghai.
Ctrip Shanghai is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ctrip.com International, Ltd. ("Ctrip.com"), a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and a leading travel service provider that offers accommodation reservations, transportation ticketing, packaged tours and corporate travel management in China. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, Ctrip.com and its ultimate beneficial owners are independent of the Company and its connected persons.
As the Sale is revenue in nature and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, the Sale does not constitute notifiable transaction under Chapter 14 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
By order of the Board SOHO China Limited Pan Shiyi
