DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-124893) (the “Registration Statement”) of Linktone Ltd. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 13, 2005, and pertaining to the registration of 6,344,324 ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value (“Ordinary Shares”), of the Company, which had been reserved for issuance under the Linktone Ltd. 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed for the sole purpose of deregistering any unissued securities previously registered under the Registration Statement and issuable under the Plan.
The offering pursuant to the Registration Statement has been terminated because the Company intends to deregister its Ordinary Shares, as represented by its American Depositary Shares, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company hereby removes from registration, by means of this Post-Effective Amendment, any and all of the securities registered under the Registration Statement which remain unsold as of the date hereof.
