• | Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, TM will purchase from the Sellers 100% of the outstanding equity of CME and TM will issue at closing 20.915 million newly issued shares of common stock of TM (the “TM Common Stock”), and pay $10.0 million in three year, no interest promissory notes. See sections entitled “THE TRANSACTION PROPOSAL” and “THE SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT”. Following the consummation of the Transaction, TM will own 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CME. |
• | In addition, the Sellers may earn up to an additional 15.0 million shares of TM subject to the achievement of the following net income targets for 2009, 2010 and 2011: |
Year | Net Income (RMB) | Net Income (US$)(1) | Shares | |||||||||
2009 | 287.0 million | $42.0 million | 1.0 million | |||||||||
2010 | 570.0 million | $83.5 million | 7.0 million | |||||||||
2011(2) | 889.0 million | $130.2 million | 7.0 million |
(1) | Based on current exchange rate of 6.83 RMB/US$. | |
(2) | If TM’s adjusted net income for 2009, 2010 or 2011 does not equal or exceed the targeted net income threshold for such fiscal year, the earn-out shares in respect of such fiscal year will not be issued to the Sellers; provided, however, that if TM’s adjusted net income in the fiscal year immediately succeeding such non-achieving fiscal year exceeds the sum of (i) the targeted net income threshold for such immediately succeeding fiscal year (which, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, the targeted net income threshold shall be RMB1,155,700,000 ($169.2 million)) and (ii) the shortfall amount for the non-achieving fiscal year, then the earn-out shares in respect of such non-achieving fiscal year will be issued to the Sellers. |

• | Sellers will also be entitled to receive up to $20.9 million of the cash proceeds from the exercise of TM’s publicly held warrants to the extent a sufficient number of these warrants are exercised. These warrants are held publicly and it is unknown if or when any of these warrants will be exercised. Warrants to purchase approximately 3.8 million shares of TM Common Stock would need to be exercised in order to generate sufficient proceeds to pay the full $20.9 million to the Sellers. We are required to pay the applicable proceeds from the exercise of these warrants to the Sellers within 15 days after the end of the first full fiscal quarter ending after the closing of the Transaction and each fiscal quarter ending thereafter, until the full amount is paid to the Sellers. TM may redeem these warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant at any time while the warrants are exercisable, if, and only if, the last sales price of TM’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending 3 business days before TM sends a notice of redemption. While we may have the right to redeem the warrants prior to the payment of the proceeds from their exercise to the Sellers, it is expected that holders of warrants will exercise such warrants before the conditions to our right to redeem are met. The $20.9 million of additional consideration payable to the existing shareholders of CME when and if TM’s publicly-traded warrants are exercised was part of the negotiation of the transaction consideration between TM and CME. We believe that such additional consideration was a material factor to the existing CME shareholders, and that the existing CME shareholders evaluated the likelihood that they would receive such proceeds in deciding whether or not to enter into the Share Exchange Agreement with TM. |
• | Based on the closing price of TM Common Stock as of September 25, 2009, the total value of the of the consideration to be received by the Sellers (assuming all of the ‘‘earn-out” shares are earned) is approximately $320.5 million. |
• | In addition, TM paid $150,000 to CME’s certified public accountants as partial payment of such accountants’ fees for the account of CME on May 4, 2009. |

AND THE SPECIAL MEETING
I. Q: | Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement? |
A: | TM has agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CME under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement dated as of May 1, 2009 as amended as of September 30, 2009, among TM, CME and the Sellers, which are described in this Proxy Statement. A copy of the Share Exchange Agreement is attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex A. We encourage you to read it in its entirety. In this Proxy Statement we refer to the purchase by TM of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CME and the related transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement as the “Transaction.” Pursuant to TM’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, TM is required to obtain stockholder approval of the Transaction. |
In addition to voting on the Transaction Proposal, the stockholders of TM will be asked to vote on: (i) the Initial Charter Amendment Proposal No. 1, (ii) the Initial Charter Amendment Proposal No. 2, (iii) the Share Issuance Proposal, (iv) the Charter Amendment Proposal, (v) the Authorized Share Increase Proposal, (vi) the Election of Directors Proposal, and (vii) the Adjournment Proposal. |
Pursuant to certain rules of the NYSE Amex, TM is required to obtain stockholder approval of the issuance of TM Common Stock in connection with the Transaction. In addition, TM and CME have agreed that they will work together to, subject to stockholder approval, use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the name of TM to be changed to “China MediaExpress Holdings, Inc.” (or such other name as TM and the Sellers mutually agree upon) immediately after the consummation of the Transaction. |
TM will hold a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of its stockholders at 10:00 a.m., local time, on October 15, 2009 to obtain these approvals. This Proxy Statement contains important information about the Special Meeting, the proposed Transaction and the other proposals to be presented to the TM stockholders. You should read it carefully. |
Your vote is important. We encourage you to vote as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this Proxy Statement. |
II. Q: | Why are we allowed to make the amendments contemplated by the Initial Charter Amendment Proposals? |
A: | As part of the Initial Charter Amendment Proposals (No. 1 and No. 2) we are removing (i) the prohibition on the consummation of a Business Combination if holders of an aggregate of 30% or more in interest of IPO Shares exercise their conversion rights and (ii) the requirement that only holders of IPO Shares who vote against the Transaction may convert their IPO Shares into cash. While our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation states that each of these relevant provisions cannot be amended prior to the consummation of a business combination, we have obtained the opinion of Delaware counsel, included in this proxy statement as Annex G, that the Initial Charter Amendment Proposals, if duly adopted by our board of directors and duly approved by the holders of a majority of our outstanding capital stock, all in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporations Law, or DGCL, would be valid and effective when filed in accordance with the DGCL. See the section entitled “THE INITIAL CHARTER AMENMENT PROPOSALS — Rescission Rights.” |
III. Q: | Why is TM proposing the Transaction? | |
A: | TM was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase and/or other similar transaction with one or more businesses in the entertainment, media, digital and communications industries and to seek out opportunities both |

Table of Contents
domestically and internationally to take advantage of our management team’s experience in these markets. CME operates the largest digital television advertising network on inter-city express buses in China. | ||
TM believes that CME is well positioned for growth and that ownership of CME will provide TM stockholders with an opportunity to participate in a business with a history of earnings and with growth potential. However, CME has a limited operating history, derives a significant portion of its revenues from a limited number of advertising clients, depends on one equipment supplier and relies on contractual arrangements with a third party to conduct its advertising business in China. The Transaction is intended to be a “business combination” under TM’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which TM must submit to its stockholders for approval prior to completion. | ||
IV. Q: | What is being voted on? | |
A: | You are being asked to vote upon the following proposals: |
• to approve the Initial Charter Amendment Proposal No. 1; |
• to approve the Initial Charter Amendment Proposal No. 2; |
• to approve the purchase by TM of CME pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Transaction Proposal”); | ||
• to approve the Share Issuance Proposal; | ||
• to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal; | ||
• to approve the Authorized Share Increase Proposal; | ||
• to approve the Election of Directors Proposal; and | ||
• to approve the Adjournment Proposal. | ||
V. Q: | What is the relation between the Proposals? |
A: | The Transaction Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of the Initial Charter Amendment Proposal No. 2 and, in the event the Initial Charter Amendment Proposal No. 2 does not receive the necessary vote to approve that proposal, then the Transaction Proposal will not be presented for approval. Each of the Share Issuance Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Authorized Share Increase Proposal are conditioned upon the approval of the Transaction Proposal and, in the event the Transaction Proposal does not receive the necessary vote to approve that proposal, then none of those proposals will be presented for approval. If the Transaction Proposal is approved but any of the Share Issuance Proposal, or the Charter Amendment Proposal are not approved, TM would not be able to perform its obligations under Share Exchange Agreement, allowing the Sellers to terminate the Share Exchange Agreement. |
VI. Q: | Who can vote at the Special Meeting? |
A: | Holders of TM Common Stock at the close of business on September 21, 2009, the record date for the Special Meeting, may vote in person or by proxy on the proposals at the Special Meeting. On the record date, 12,505,000 shares of TM Common Stock were outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. As of the record date, our Initial Stockholders, officers and directors beneficially owned approximately 18.0% of the outstanding shares of TM Common Stock (excluding any warrants held by such persons). |

Table of Contents
VII. Q: | Why is TM proposing to initially amend its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation? |
A: | TM is proposing to initially amend its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation prior to the vote on the Transaction Proposal to: (i) remove the prohibition on the consummation of a Business Combination if holders of an aggregate of 30% or more in interest of the shares of our common stock issued in our initial public offering (“IPO Shares”) exercise their conversion rights, and (ii) remove the requirement that only holders of the IPO Shares who vote against the Transaction may convert their IPO Shares into cash. (FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, CONSISTENT WITH TM’S IPO PROSPECTUS, THE 2,250,000 SHARES ISSUED TO THE FOUNDERS OF TM SHALL NOT BE PERMITTED TO CONVERT OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN THE LIQUIDATION OF THE TRUST ACCOUNT SHOULD TM LIQUIDATE.) This will increase the likelihood that the Transaction will be approved and will allow all holders of IPO Shares to convert such shares into cash if the Transaction is consummated regardless of whether they vote for or against the Transaction Proposal. These amendments would effectively reduce the threshold vote required to approve the Transaction from 70% to 50% of the votes cast, and would reduce the incentive for stockholders who wish to receive the Trust value for their shares to vote against the Transaction. |
VIII. Q: | What vote is required in order to approve the Initial Charter Amendment Proposal? | |
A: | The approval of the Initial Charter Amendment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of TM Common Stock. | |
IX. Q: | Since our initial public offering prospectus did not disclose what is being proposed at the meeting, what are my legal rights? |
A: | You should be aware that neither our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation nor our initial public offering prospectus contemplated the possibility of (i) removing the prohibition on the consummation of a Business Combination if holders of an aggregate of 30% or more in interest of the shares of our common stock issued in our initial public offering (“IPO Shares”) exercise their conversion rights, or (ii) removing the requirement that only holders of the IPO Shares who vote against the Transaction may convert their IPO Shares into cash. This will allow all holders of IPO Shares to convert such shares into cash if the Transaction is consummated regardless of whether they vote for or against the Transaction Proposal. Accordingly, each holder of IPO Shares at the time of the Transaction who purchased such shares in the initial public offering may have securities law claims against us for rescission (under which a successful claimant has the right to receive the total amount paid for his or her securities pursuant to an allegedly deficient prospectus, plus interest and less any income earned on the securities, in exchange for surrender of the securities) or damages (compensation for loss on an investment caused by alleged material misrepresentations or omissions in the sale of a security). Such claims may entitle stockholders asserting them to up to $8.00 per share, based on the initial offering price of the initial public offering units comprised of stock and warrants, less any amount received from sale of the original warrants purchased with them, plus interest from the date of our initial public offering (which, in the case of holders of IPO Shares, may be more than the pro rata share of the trust account to which they are entitled on conversion or liquidation). See the section entitled “THE INITIAL CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSALS — Rescission Rights.” |
X. Q: | What vote is required in order to approve the Transaction Proposal? | |
A: | Under TM’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the approval of the Transaction will require the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of TM Common Stock that were issued in the IPO and voted on the matter either in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Warrants to purchase TM Common Stock do not have voting rights, and TM is not asking the warrant holders to vote on the Transaction Proposal or the other proposals. If the Transaction Proposal is not approved, none of the other proposals will be presented for approval. |
15
Table of Contents
XI. Q: | How do the TM insiders intend to vote their shares? | |
A: | In connection with the vote required for any business combination, all of our Initial Stockholders, including all of our officers and directors, have agreed to vote their respective initial shares in accordance with the majority of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders. If the majority of Public Stockholders voting at the meeting, regardless of percent, vote to approve the business combination, our Initial Stockholders will vote all shares owned by them prior to our IPO in favor of the business combination. Similarly, if the majority of Public Stockholders voting at the meeting, regardless of percent, vote against the business combination, our Initial Stockholders will vote all shares owned by them prior to our IPO against the business combination. This voting arrangement does not apply to any other shares our Initial Stockholders may purchase in the future. Accordingly, they may vote these shares on a proposed business combination any way they chose. Currently, our Initial Stockholders do not own any shares of TM Common Stock which are not subject to this voting arrangement. TM will proceed with the business combination only if a majority of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders are voted in favor of the business combination. | |
XII. Q: | What will I receive in the proposed Transaction? | |
A: | TM stockholders will continue to hold the shares of TM Common Stock that they owned prior to the Transaction. | |
XIII. Q: | Do TM stockholders have conversion rights? |
A: | Yes. Assuming the Initial Charter Amendment Proposal is approved, with respect to a business combination which is approved and consummated, any public stockholder who voted either for or against the business combination may, at the time of voting, demand that TM convert his, hers, or its shares. If the Initial Charter Amendment Proposal No. 2 is not approved, TM will not complete the Transaction and will liquidate. The per share conversion price will equal the amount in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed business combination, divided by the number of shares of TM Common Stock held by public stockholders at the consummation of the Transaction. The per share conversion price will be calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Transaction, and will equal the amount in the Trust Account divided by the number of shares of TM Common Stock issued in our IPO (10,255,000). Based on the amount in the Trust Account as of August 31, 2009 ($81,075,868, net of taxes payable), the per share conversion price would be approximately $7.91. However, the Trust Account will continue to earn interest and incur taxes on such interest until the consummation of the Transaction. In addition, our placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against us or other liabilities of TM. We cannot assure you that the per-share distribution from the Trust Account, if we liquidate, will not be less than $7.91. While we have sought and will continue to seek to have all vendors and service providers (which would include any third parties we engaged to assist us in any way in connection with our search for a target business) and prospective target businesses execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements. Nor is there any guarantee that, even if such entities execute such agreements with us, they will not seek recourse against the Trust Account or that a court would not conclude that such agreements are not legally enforceable. Accordingly, the funds held in the Trust Account could be subject to claims that take priority over the claims of our public stockholders, and the actual per share conversion price may be less than approximately $7.91. Furthermore, two of our Initial Stockholders have personally agreed, pursuant to agreements with us and our underwriter, that, if we liquidate prior to the consummation of a business combination, they will be personally liable to pay debts and obligations to target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or contracted for products sold to us in excess of the proceeds of our IPO not held in the Trust Account, but only |

if, and to the extent, the claims reduce the amounts in the Trust Account. However, our Initial Stockholders will not have any personal liability as to any claimed amounts owed to a third party who executed a valid and enforceable waiver. |
Our Initial Stockholders, directors and officers will not have any conversion rights attributable to their shares of TM Common Stock acquired before the IPO in the event that the Transaction is or is not approved by a majority of our Public Stockholders. |
XIV. Q: | If I have conversion rights, how do I exercise them? |
A: | If you wish to exercise your conversion rights, you must vote either for or against the Transaction Proposal and contemporaneously demand that TM convert your shares of TM Common Stock into cash. Abstensions or broker non-votes will not allow you to exercise your conversion rights.You may exercise your conversion rights either by checking the appropriate box on the proxy card or by submitting your request in writing to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) at 17 Battery Place, 8thFloor, New York, NY 10004, Attn: Mark Zimkind. In addition, TM stockholders who hold their stock in street name must ensure their bank or broker complies with the requirements identified below. If, prior to the Special Meeting, you (i) initially vote for the Transaction Proposal but then wish to vote against it and exercise your conversion rights or (ii) initially vote against the Transaction Proposal and wish to exercise your conversion rights but do not check the box on the proxy card providing for the exercise of your conversion rights or do not send a written request to Continental to exercise your conversion rights, you may request that Continental send to you another proxy card on which you may indicate your intended vote and exercise your conversion rights by checking the box provided for such purpose on the proxy card. You may make such request by contacting Mark Zimkind of Continental by telephone at(212) 845-3287 or by email at mzimkind@continentalstock.com. Any corrected or changed proxy card or written demand of conversion rights must be received by Continental prior to the Special Meeting. You may also change a prior vote by attending the Special Meeting where you will be able to revoke your proxy and vote in person. If, notwithstanding your negative vote and exercise of your conversion rights, the Transaction is consummated, then you will be entitled to have your shares converted. If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of TM Common Stock issued in the IPO for cash and will no longer own these shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you continue to hold these shares through the consummation of the Transaction and your stock certificate for the shares you wish to convert are tendered for conversion. Exercise of your conversion rights does not result in either the conversion or a loss of your warrants. Any warrants that you own will continue to be outstanding and exercisable following a conversion of your shares of TM Common Stock and the consummation of the Transaction. If the Transaction is not consummated, and TM is forced to liquidate, our warrants will expire with no value. See the section entitled “THE SPECIAL MEETING — Conversion Rights”. |
XV. Q: | What additional conversion procedures are required if my shares are held in “street name”? |
A: | If your shares are held in “street name,” your bank or broker must, by 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on October 14, 2009, the business day prior to the special meeting, electronically transfer your shares to the DTC account of Continental, in its capacity as our stock transfer agent, and provide Continental with the necessary stock powers, written instructions to the effect that you want to convert your shares and a written certificate addressed to Continental stating that you were the owner of such shares as of the record date, you have owned such shares since the record date and you will continue to own such shares through the consummation of the Transaction. If you demand conversion of your shares, and later decide that you do not want to convert such shares, your bank or broker must make arrangements with Continental, at the telephone number stated above, to cancel the conversion. To be effective, withdrawals |

of shares previously submitted for conversion must be completed prior to the commencement of the annual meeting. | ||
Continental can assist with this process. Continental can be reached by phone at(212) 845-3287, by email at mzimkind@continentalstock.com, and by mail at 17 Battery Place, 8thFloor, New York, NY 10004, Attn: Mark Zimkind.We urge stockholders who hold shares in street name and who may wish to exercise their conversion rights to promptly contact the account executive at the organization holding their account to accomplish these additional procedures. If such stockholders fail to act promptly, they may be unable to timely satisfy the conversion requirements. | ||
XVI. Q: | Do I need to send in my stock certificates now? |
A: | TM stockholders who hold stock certificates themselves rather than in street name should submit their stock certificates by 5.00p.m.,New York City time, on October 14, 2009, the business day prior to the special meeting toContinental Stock Transfer & Trust Company at 17 Battery Place, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10004, Attn: Mark Zimkind. In the event the proposed transaction is not approved, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company will retain any stock certificates submitted to it and you will receive payment therefor following the liquidation of TM. In addition you may bring your stock certificates to the special meeting if you plan to attend in person. There is no cost to tender your shares. TM stockholders who hold shares in street name should have their bank or broker contact Continental with respect to the procedure to complete the conversion of such shares. |
XVII. Q: | What if I object to the proposed Transaction? Do I have appraisal rights? | |
A: | Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, TM stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Transaction or any of the other proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting. However, if you hold TM Common Stock issued in our IPO (and you are not an initial stockholder), you may exercise your conversion rights. See the section entitled “THE SPECIAL MEETING — Conversion Rights”. | |
XVIII. Q: | What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Transaction? |
A: | Upon consummation of the Transaction, TM stockholders electing to exercise their conversion rights will receive their pro rata portion of the Trust Account. The balance of the funds in the Trust Account will be utilized to fund transaction expenses. Any remaining funds will be available for operations and the conduct of our business subsequent to the consummation of the Transaction. |
XIX. Q: | What happens if the Transaction is not consummated? | |
A: | The deadline under our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to consummate a business combination is October 17, 2009. If a stockholder vote on this Transaction is held and the Transaction is not approved, we will not continue to try to consummate a business combination with a different target due to the limited time remaining to consummate a business combination and the cost involved in doing so. If we do not consummate a business combination by October 17, 2009, our corporate existence will cease by operation of law and we will promptly distribute only to our public stockholders (including our existing stockholders to the extent they have purchased shares in our IPO or in the aftermarket) the amount in the Trust Account (including any accrued interest then remaining in the Trust Account) plus any remaining net assets. Furthermore, two of our Initial Stockholders have personally agreed, pursuant to agreements with us and our underwriter, that, if we liquidate prior to the consummation of a business combination, they will be personally liable to pay debts and obligations to target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or contracted for products sold to us in excess of the proceeds of our IPO not held in the Trust |

Account, but only if, and to the extent, the claims reduce the amounts in the Trust Account. However, our Initial Stockholders will not have any personal liability as to any claimed amounts owed to a third party who executed a valid and enforceable waiver. | ||
Our Initial Stockholders, directors and officers have agreed to waive their respective rights to participate in any liquidation distribution occurring upon our failure to consummate a business combination, but only with respect to those shares of TM Common Stock beneficially owned and acquired by them prior to our IPO. They will participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to any shares of TM Common Stock acquired in connection with or following our IPO. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the warrants, and all rights with respect to the warrants will effectively terminate upon our liquidation. |
If a liquidation were to occur, based on the amount in the Trust Account as of August 31, 2009 (approximately $81,075,868 which is net of estimated taxes payable), the initial per share liquidation price would be approximately $7.91. However, the Trust Account will continue to earn interest and incur taxes on such interest until the date of liquidation. In addition, our placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against us or other liabilities of TM. While we have sought and will continue to seek to have all vendors and service providers (which would include any third parties we engaged to assist us in any way in connection with our search for a target business) and prospective target businesses execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements. Nor is there any guarantee that, even if such entities execute such agreements with us, they will not seek recourse against the Trust Account or that a court would not conclude that such agreements are not legally enforceable. Accordingly, the funds held in the Trust Account could be subject to claims that take priority over the claims of our public stockholders, and the actual per share liquidation price may be less than approximately $7.91. See the section entitled “RISK FACTORS — Risks Relating to the Proposed Transaction” for risks associated with the dissolution of TM. |
XX. Q: | When is the Transaction expected to be completed? | |
A: | If the Transaction is approved, it is anticipated that the Transaction will be consummated promptly following the Special Meeting and the satisfaction of all conditions to completion of the Transaction. For a description of the conditions to completion of the Transaction, see the section entitled “THE SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT — Conditions to Closing”. | |
XXI. Q: | What vote is required in order to approve the Share Issuance Proposal? | |
A: | The approval of the Share Issuance Proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of TM Common Stock voted on the matter either in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. | |
XXII. Q: | What vote is required in order to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal? | |
A: | The approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of TM Common Stock. | |
XXIII. Q: | What vote is required in order to approve the Authorized Share Increase Proposal? | |
A: | The approval of the Authorized Share Increase Proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of TM Common Stock. |
XXIV. Q: | What vote is required to elect Theodore S. Green, Malcolm Bird, Zheng Cheng, Jacky Lam, George Zhou and Marco Kung to TM’s board of directors under the Election of Directors Proposal? |
A: | To be elected, a nominee must receive a plurality of the votes cast on the matter either in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. |
19
Table of Contents
XXV. Q: | What vote is required to approve the Adjournment Proposal, if needed? | |
A: | Approval of the Adjournment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of TM Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. | |
XXVI. Q: | Why is TM proposing to amend its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation? | |
A: | TM is proposing to amend its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation at the time of the Transaction to change TM’s corporate name to “China MediaExpress Holdings, Inc.” We believe that changing our name to “China MediaExpress Holdings, Inc.” will better reflect our operating business upon completion of the Transaction. In addition, TM and CME have agreed that they will work together to, subject to stockholder approval, use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the name of TM to be changed to “China MediaExpress Holdings, Inc.” (or such other name as TM and the Sellers mutually agree upon) immediately after the consummation of the Transaction. The amendment of TM’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation would effectuate such name change. In addition, this amendment would increase the number of shares authorized for issuance, delete existing provisions that relate to us as a blank check company and create perpetual corporate existence. |
XXVII. Q: | Does TM’s board of directors recommend voting in favor of the Initial Charter Amendment Proposals, Transaction Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Authorized Share Increase Proposal, the Election of Directors Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal? |
A: | Yes. After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of the Initial Charter Amendment Proposals, the Transaction Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Authorized Share Increase Proposal the Election of Directors Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal, TM’s board of directors has unanimously (i) approved and declared advisable the Share Exchange Agreement and the Transaction, (ii) approved and authorized the issuance of TM Common Stock in connection with the Transaction, (iii) approved the various amendments to TM’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, (iv) recommended that each of the nominees for election to TM’s board of directors be elected to serve for the respective term of office of the class to which the nominee is elected and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, and (v) approved adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting to a later date or time or dates or times if necessary for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies. |
After careful consideration, TM’s board of directors recommends that TM stockholders vote or give instruction to vote FOR each of the Transaction Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Election of Directors Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal. However, you should note that the members of TM’s board of directors have interests in the Transaction that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. For a description of such interests, please see the section entitled “THE TRANSACTION PROPOSAL — Interests of TM’s Management in the Transaction”. | ||
XXVIII. Q: | Who will manage TM after consummation of the Transaction? |
A: | We expect that, subject to election at the Special Meeting by our stockholders, Theodore S. Green and Malcolm Bird, current directors of TM, will continue serving as members of TM’s board of directors immediately following the consummation of the Transaction. In addition, immediately following the consummation of the Transaction, we expect to increase the size of TM’s board of directors to six members, and appoint as directors Zheng Cheng, Jacky Lam, George Zhou and Marco Kung. For a description of these management agreements, see the sections entitled “MANAGEMENT FOLLOWING THE TRANSACTION”. |

XXIX. Q: | What do I need to do now? | |
A: | TM urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this Proxy Statement, including the annexes, and to consider how the Transaction will affect you as a stockholder of TM. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this Proxy Statement and on the enclosed proxy card. | |
XXX. Q: | How do I vote? | |
A: | If you are a holder of record of TM Common Stock, you may vote by submitting a proxy for the Special Meeting or in person at the Special Meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. If you hold your shares of TM Common Stock in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. | |
XXXI. Q: | If I am not going to attend the Special Meeting in person, should I return my proxy card instead? | |
A: | Yes. After carefully reading and considering the information in this Proxy Statement, please fill out and sign your proxy card. Then return it in the return envelope as soon as possible, so that your shares of TM Common Stock may be represented at the Special Meeting. A properly executed proxy will be counted for the purpose of determining the existence of a quorum. | |
XXXII. Q: | Can I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card? | |
A: | Yes. Send a later-dated, signed proxy card to Mackenzie, TM’s proxy solicitor, at 105 Madison Avenue New York, NY 10016, prior to the date of the Special Meeting or attend the Special Meeting in person and vote. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Mackenzie before the Special Meeting. You can reach Mackenzie atproxy@mackenziepartners.com. | |
XXXIII. Q: | If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me? | |
A: | No. Your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares of TM Common Stock unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. You should instruct your broker, bank or nominee to vote your shares of TM Common Stock, following the procedures provided by your broker, bank or nominee. | |
XXXIV. Q: | What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to instruct my broker, bank or nominee to vote? |
A: | Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, an abstention, or the failure to instruct your broker, bank or nominee how to vote (also known as a broker non-vote), is not considered a vote cast at the Special Meeting with respect to the Transaction Proposal and therefore, will have no effect on the vote relating to the Transaction Proposal. An abstention or broker non-vote will not enable you to exercise your conversion rights. A broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote against the Initial Charter Amendment Proposals, the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Authorized Share Increase Proposal, but will have no effect on the Share Issuance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Stockholders may only vote for or withhold votes for the nominees for election pursuant to the Election of Directors Proposal. Votes that are withheld and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but will have no effect on the election of directors. |
XXXV. Q: | What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials? | |
A: | You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this Proxy Statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your |
21
Table of Contents
shares of TM Common Stock in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares of TM Common Stock. If you are a holder of record and your shares of TM Common Stock are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your shares of TM Common Stock. | ||
XXXVI. Q: | Who can help answer my questions? | |
A: | If you have questions about the Transaction or this Proxy Statement, or if you need additional copies of this Proxy Statement or the enclosed proxy card, you may contact Mackenzie, our proxy solicitor by telephone at(800) 322-2885 or by email atproxy@mackenziepartners.comYou may also obtain additional information about TM from documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by following the instructions in the section entitled “WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION”. |

• | CME’s lower price to earnings multiples relative to its public comparables, given its future prospects and those of the industry; | |
• | CME’s management team’s quality and strength, and proven track record of success; CME’s existing management team has grown the business to achieve 2008 net revenue and net income of $63.0 and $26.4 million, respectively, and 35,000 installed TV displays on over 16,000 buses in a short period of time; | |
• | the earn-out andlock-up features of the transaction, which provide substantial incentives to the management and stockholders of CME to realize future value for all stockholders after the closing of the Transaction; CME’s existing shareholders have agreed to receive a substantial portion of the consideration based on achieving certain net income targets that imply significant growth in earnings and indicate their commitment and confidence towards CME’s future growth prospects; thelock-up agreements that CME’s existing shareholders have agreed to enter into and the consideration based on the exercise of the publicly held warrants will align their interests with those of TM’s stockholders; | |
• | the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement and related transaction documents; | |
• | the Chinese and global advertising market, both current and projected; advertising spending in China reached $15.4 billion in 2007 and is expected grow to $25.0 billion in 2011, a 12.8% CAGR; and | |
• | the results of TM’s business, financial, accounting, legal and other due diligence review of CME. |
• | the competitive nature of the Chinese advertising industry in general; although the Chinese advertising industry is generally competitive, it is also highly fragmented and growing quite rapidly; however, CME is the only company with an advertising network of its size and scope on inter-city express buses in China; | |
• | the possibility that the benefits anticipated from the Transaction might not be achieved or might not occur as rapidly or to the extent currently anticipated; it is possible that the financial and strategic benefits of having CME publicly traded on a U.S. exchange, and that the ability of TM’s management to leverage its business relationships to secure additional programming for CME could fall short of our expectations; | |
• | the risk that CME is unable to increase the number of buses in its network as projected; | |
• | the pro forma effect of the issuance of 15,000,000 shares of TM common stock pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement on TM’s earnings per share, which would reduce TM’s earnings per share on a pro forma adjusted basis; and | |
• | the limits on indemnification in the Share Exchange Agreement, which restrict the remedies available to TM in the event of a breach by CME and cap the damages recoverable by TM at $25.0 million. |

• | If the Transaction is not consummated and TM is required to liquidate, the shares of TM Common Stock owned and acquired by TM’s directors and officers prior to our IPO will be worthless because they will not be entitled to receive any of the assets held in the Trust Account with respect to these shares. In addition, if the Transaction is not consummated, and TM is forced to liquidate, warrants held by TM’s directors and officers will expire with no value. On April 23, 2009, the date TM’s board of directors approved the Transaction and the Share Exchange Agreement, our directors and officers owned a total of 2,250,000 shares of TM Common Stock acquired prior to our IPO having a total market value of approximately $17.2 million based on the share price of $7.64 of the TM Common Stock on the last trading day prior to that date. In addition, on April 23, 2009, our directors and officers held warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 2,100,000 shares of TM Common Stock (for which they paid $2,100,000) having a total market value of approximately $0.2 million based on our warrant price of $0.11 per warrant on the last trading day prior to that date. | |
• | Each of Messrs. Green and Bird has agreed, that, if we liquidate prior to the consummation of a business combination, they will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds of the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of vendors for services rendered or products sold to us as well as claims of prospective target businesses for fees and expenses of third parties that we have agreed in writing to pay in the event we do not complete a business combination. If the Transaction is consummated, TM’s officers and directors will not have to perform such obligations. If the Transaction is not consummated, however, TM’s officers and directors could potentially be liable for any claims against the Trust Account by such vendors or prospective target businesses who did not sign waivers. If the Transaction is not consummated, CME and the Sellers will be responsible for their own expenses incurred in connection with the proposed Transaction. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, CME and the Sellers have waived any claim they may have against the Trust Account. |

If the Transaction is not consummated and TM liquidates, it will not be able to perform its obligations under those provisions.

Table of Contents
• | Effective audience reach. The large number of passengers on inter-city express buses in China provide advertisers with a large and growing target audience. The displays installed on inter-city express buses are often the only form of media provided in such environments. Passengers are more willing to watch the programs on the displays and the accompanying advertisements. | |
• | Cost effectiveness. Advertising placed on inter-city express buses, where a large number of people congregate, can reach consumers at a lower cost than most other traditional media advertising, such as on television at home. | |
• | Attractive target demographics. Most of the passengers traveling on inter-city express buses belong to China’s emerging middle class, with higher than average income and purchasing power. Many of the passengers are business travelers, including distributors who own their businesses in small- and medium-sized cities and frequently travel to larger cities to engage in wholesale procurement and trading. These passengers have strong purchasing and decision-making power for their businesses, presenting wholesale and long-term business opportunities to advertisers in addition to retail sales. The volume and the quality of such target audience are attractive to advertisers for the promotion of their products and services. | |
• | Increasing acceptance. CME believes that television advertising networks on inter-city express buses have gained increasing acceptance among three major groups: express bus operators, highway travelers and advertisers. CME believes many express bus operators have chosen to partner with digital media companies to reduce their operational costs, and improve the overall passenger experience. Digital media networks provide passengers with informative and entertaining content or otherwise provide an outlet to fill idle time, which may help to enhance the overall passenger experience and add value to the services provided by express bus operators. CME believes advertisers have increasingly chosen digital media advertising on inter-city express buses due to their high receptivity among passengers and ability to reach large audiences with favorable demographics in a cost effective manner. |
111
Table of Contents
• | Early entrant advantage. CME commenced its advertising services business in November 2003 and was amongst the first companies to engage in digital television advertising on inter-city express buses in China. CME rapidly established a sizeable nationwide network, occupying a significant market share. CME’s early entry into the market has also enabled it to accumulate a significant amount of knowledge and experience in this nascent segment of the advertising industry. | |
• | Long-term agreements with a large number of bus operators. CME has entered into long-term framework agreements with a large number of bus operators, enabling it to occupy a significant market share and to create significant entry barriers for potential competitors. CME has entered into long-term framework agreements with 40 inter-city express bus operators for terms ranging from five to eight years. As of July 31, 2008, the number of buses within CME’s network accounted for 81% of all inter-city express buses installed with hard disk drive players and 55% of all inter-city express buses installed with any type of television display, according to CTR Market Research. | |
• | Scale of operations. CME believes it has achieved the scale of operations that is not only attractive to advertisers but also allow it to capitalize on cost synergies. CME’s network with over 16,000 inter-city express buses covers all four municipalities and seven economically prosperous provinces in China. The large number of inter-city express buses in CME’s network in economically prosperous regions in China has enabled it to attract a significant number of clients. During 2008, more than 400 advertisers directly or indirectly purchased advertising time on CME’s network. | |
• | The sole strategic partner designated by an entity affiliated with the Ministry of Transport. In October 2007, CME entered into a five-year cooperation agreement with an entity affiliated with the Ministry of Transport of the People’s Republic of China to be the sole strategic partner in the establishment of a nationwide in-vehicle television system displaying copyrighted programs on buses traveling on highways in China. The cooperation agreement gave CME exclusive rights to display advertisements on the system. In November 2007, this entity issued a notice regarding the facilitation of implementation of the system contemplated under the cooperation agreement to municipalities, provinces and transportation enterprises in China. |
• | Enclosed and comfortable environment with minimal distraction. The majority of the inter-city express buses within CME’s network are equipped with leather seats and air-conditioning, providing a comfortable environment which makes the audiences more receptive to the content displayed. Passengers are required by law to be seated during journeys on expressways, thereby enabling passengers to view the content displayed on CME’s network with little view obstruction. | |
• | Inter-city travel increases length of exposure. Inter-city travel in China typically takes a number of hours. Audiences are therefore exposed to the content displayed on CME’s network for a significantly longer period of time than on shorter-distance travel. According to a survey conducted by CTR Market Research in July 2008 on bus services originating in eight major cities, the average duration of a journey on buses within CME’s network took two and a half hours. As CME displays advertisements in ten-minute blocks after every 30 minutes of entertainment content, the audiences can potentially view the same advertisement up to three times per journey. CME believes repeated exposure to the same advertisement significantly increases its effectiveness. |
112
Table of Contents
• | CME’s patented automated control systems ensure uninterrupted display. CME’s patented automated control systems are designed to ensure the automatic initiation of the entertainment content and advertisements on the displays whenever the driver opens the doors of the buses, and ensure continuous display throughout the journey. This prevents interruption due to actions of bus drivers or passengers during the journey. |

• | Increase the number of inter-city express buses within its network. CME intends to enter into new long-term framework agreements with other express bus operators not already participating in its advertising network. Such efforts would enable CME to have a more comprehensive coverage and deeper penetration into small and medium-sized cities in China. | |
• | Expand the geographic converge of its network. CME intends to expand into new regions to increase the geographic coverage of its network. For example, CME expects to enter into new provinces and regions in the future, including Shandong, Zhejiang, Hunan, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Yunnan, Guangxi, Shanxi. To further increase the penetration of its network, CME intends to increase the coverage of its advertising network to county level cities in various provinces in China highly dependent on highway transportation for connection outside these cities. CME believes the breadth and penetration of its advertising network with nationwide coverage would provide its clients with a wider and more diverse distribution network for their advertisements. |

CME intends to expand the fleet of inter-city express buses traveling in economically prosperous coastal cities and provinces, including those traveling to and from airports and tour buses, to enhance the reach of its network to more affluent and business travelers with strong purchasing power. |
• | Separately package advertising time slots on airport shuttle buses, tour buses and buses servicing the commute between supermarkets and residential communities for sale to its clients. CME intends to separate advertising time slots on buses based on the purpose of travels for sale to its clients. This will enable advertisers to effectively target more specific audience profiles. For example, advertisers who wish to promote luxury and high-end products and services may focus their advertisings on airport shuttle buses, or in selected municipalities and provinces with more affluent travelers. To further increase the number of airport shuttle buses carrying its network, CME intends to enter into contracts with bus operators that connect Beijing, Tianjin and Xiamen with the airports servicing these metropolitan areas. Advertisers in the hotel, dining and travel and leisure industries are able to purchase advertising time slots on tour buses carrying CME’s network. Advertisers with their products for sale on supermarket shelves are able to purchase advertising time slots on buses that service the commute between supermarkets and residential communities. CME believes the development of these separate networks would enable it to broaden its revenue sources and generate incremental revenues. | |
• | Generate revenues from the display of soft advertisements packaged as entertainment content. CME seeks to generate revenues from displaying entertainment programs which are effectively soft advertisements, for a variety of products and services. Examples of such advertisements include travel programs featuring hotels, restaurants and tourist destinations, and fashion shows featuring lines of clothing being the subject of promotion. | |
• | Establish stationary advertising media. CME intends to establish stationary advertising media at inter-city express bus terminals to complement its business. These include digital billboards or liquid emitting diodes, or LEDs, installed at bus terminals to target passengers during their waiting time. CME expects this expansion would increase the value of its network by increasing the size of the audience reachable and by extending the exposure for advertisers. In addition to providing an additional source of revenue, CME believes this initiative would increase demand for its services and enable it to charge higher rates. | |
• | Offer new services to advertisers and passengers. CME intends to feature hotels, spa resorts, local restaurants on its network while displaying the logo, telephone numbers and other contact information of relevant service providers and charge advertising fees. In addition, CME plans to handle bookings through call centers or short messages for the convenience of passengers who are attracted to relevant services featured on its network. CME plans to share revenues resulting from bookings through call centers or short messages with relevant service providers participating in its value-added service programs. CME may also seek to provide drinks sponsored by advertisers or offer other merchandise for sale on the inter-city express buses carrying its network. |
• | Sell first few minutes of the advertising time slots at higher rates. Advertisers generally consider the first few minutes of each advertising time slot to be more effective than the remaining few minutes toward the end of the advertising time slot. As a result, CME intends to separately package the first few minutes of each advertising time slot for sale at a higher price, which CME believes would increase its average advertising rates. |

• | Expand the coverage and penetration of its advertising network. CME believes expanded coverage and penetration of its advertising network would increase the effectiveness and attractiveness of its network to advertisers, thereby enabling it to increase its average advertising rates. | |
• | Capture increased advertising spending on its advertising network from its clients. CME intends to compete for a larger portion of its clients’ advertising budget relative to other media. CME believes increased demand for advertising time on its network will enable it to charge higher average advertising rates. CME’s network is capable of reaching a large audience in transit who are otherwise more difficult or expensive to reach through conventional media. Currently, the CPM of advertising on CME’s network is significantly lower than that in other advertising media, including both traditional and newout-of-home media. Compared to otherout-of-home advertising networks with coverage limited to buildings, airplanes, airports or public transportation of a particular city, CME’s network has a wider geographic coverage with lower CPM. In light of the characteristics of its advertising network, CME believes it will be able to capture an increasingly larger portions of its clients’ advertising budgets while charging higher advertising rates, as the acceptance of its advertising medium continues to grow. | |
• | Enhance the effectiveness of its advertising network. CME intends to continue to improve the environment in inter-city express buses by installing additional digital television displays on each bus and offering a wider range of content attractive to the target audience. CME believes such enhancements will make its advertising network more effective and attractive to advertisers and advertising agencies. | |
• | Attract national and international brand name advertisers to purchase its advertising time. CME believes the effectiveness of its network would continue to attract more international and national brand name advertisers to purchase advertising time slots from it through advertising agencies or directly. CME believes increased demand from advertising agency clients and direct clients would enable it to charge higher average selling price. CME also intends to penetrate further the local advertising markets by appealing to local advertisers who typically utilized other types of advertising media. |

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF CME
135
Table of Contents
136
Table of Contents
• | The number of buses of its existing bus operator partners. The number of buses may change from time to time depending on its bus operator partners’ expansion plans, which is beyond CME’s control. The number of buses affects its concession fee payments for the year, and therefore the basis on which CME estimates future concession fee payments, and the concession fee cost charged to its consolidated statement of income. An increase in the number of buses in its network will increase CME’s concession fee payments and concession fee cost, but will also enable CME to charge higher advertising rates. | |
• | Concession agreements with new bus operator partners. As CME signs concession agreements with new bus operator partners, the number of buses in its network will increase and so will its concession fee payments, the estimated future concession fee payments and the concession fee cost charged to its consolidated statement of income. | |
• | Concession fee per bus. CME renegotiates its concession fees per bus annually with its existing bus operator partners, with a permissible increase of between 10% and 30% as stipulated in the long-term |
137
Table of Contents
framework agreements. The agreed concession fee per bus affects the concession fee payments for the year, and therefore the basis on which CME estimates future concession fee payments, and the concession fee cost charged to its consolidated statement of income. |
• | Estimated annual increase in concession fee per bus and in the number of buses. The estimated total concession fee payments over the life of the long-term framework agreements are determined by the estimated increase in concession fee per bus, and the estimated increase in number of buses in the future. CME currently estimates that the concession fee per bus will increase by 10% per annum over the life of the agreements, based on the minimum increase stipulated in the agreements. CME currently estimates that the number of buses under existing agreements will not increase over the life of the agreements. The amounts of actual concession fee payments and the concession fee cost charged to its consolidated statement of income are subject to increase if the annual concession fee per bus increases by more than 10% or if its bus operator partners increase the number of their inter-city express buses during the life of the framework agreements. |
• | Expanding into new provinces. In 2007, CME expanded its network to eight regions from one region in 2006, thereby significantly increasing the advertising time available for sale. In 2008, CME added three more regions, Anhui, Hubei and Chongqing, to its network. By the end of 2009, CME plans to expand into six more provinces: Shandong, Zhejiang, Hunan, Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning. By the end of 2010, CME plans to expand into another three provinces: Yunnan, Guangxi and Shanxi. | |
• | Increasing the advertisements to entertainment content ratio. By increasing the length of the advertising time slot relative to the length of entertainment content, CME can increase the amount of advertising time available for sale. CME believes an optimal mix of advertisements and entertainment content will enable it to maximize revenues. |
• | The numbers of inter-city express buses within its network for a particular region. The larger the number of inter-city express buses within its network in a particular region, the larger the potential passenger traffic, and therefore audience size. CME believes there is a direct relationship between the |
138
Table of Contents
number of inter-city express buses, and therefore potential audience size, and the advertising rates that it can command. As the number of inter-city express buses within its network in a particular region grows, CME expects to be able to increase the rates that it charges for advertising in that region. The number of inter-city express buses within its network can either grow through its existing bus operator partners’ expansion, or by entering into agreements with new bus operator partners. |
• | Local economic conditions. Local economic conditions, including income levels and purchasing power, influence the pricing of advertising locally, including CME’s advertising rates. Generally, CME is able to command higher advertising rates per bus (being average advertising rates divided by number of buses) in the more affluent regions in which it operates relative to less affluent regions. | |
• | Advertising rates charged by other media. The rates charged by other media, including local satellite television operators, affect the rates that CME charges. CME believes its rates are currently set at a substantial discount to rates charged by local television media, as indicated by significantly lower CPM, or cost of reaching a thousand viewers, of advertising on its network relative to advertising on local television media. See the section entitled “INFORMATION ABOUT HONG KONG MANDEFU HOLDING LIMITED — Competitive Strengths”. CME believes this presents potential room for future increases in its rates. | |
• | The effectiveness of advertising on its network. CME believes its network is a highly effective advertising medium. The large number of passengers on inter-city express buses in China provide advertisers with a large and growing target audience. Moreover, the displays installed on inter-city express buses are often the only form of media provided in such environments. Therefore, passengers are more willing to watch the content on the displays and the accompanying advertisements CME believes the effectiveness of advertisements on its network directly influences the rates advertisers are willing to pay. | |
• | The mix of advertising agency clients relative to direct clients. CME generated all or substantially all of its revenues from direct clients for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, whereas it generated a majority of its revenues from advertising agency clients for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008. This change in client mix resulted in a decrease in the average advertising rates for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 compared to the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 because CME typically offers larger volume discounts for sales to advertising agency clients than to direct clients. CME expects to continue to generate a majority of its revenues from advertising agency clients in the future. | |
• | Differentiated pricing of premium or specialty advertising. CME currently displays advertisements for ten minutes after every 30 minutes of entertainment programs. Advertisers generally consider the first few minutes of each advertising time slots to be more effective than the remaining minutes of the ten-minute time slot. As a result, CME intends to separately package the first minute or the first few minutes of each advertising time slot for sale at premium rates. In addition, CME intends to separate advertising time slots on airport shuttle buses and tour buses for sale to its clients at higher rates because advertisers are able to more effectively target more affluent passengers on these vehicles. CME believes the offering of such targeted advertising networks will enable it to charge higher average advertising rates. |
• | Separate advertising time slots on airport shuttle buses, tour buses and buses servicing the commute between supermarkets and residential communities for sale to CME’s clients. Currently, CME generates revenues from selling advertising time slots on inter-city express buses, including airport shuttle buses and tour buses. CME intends to separately package advertising time slots on airport shuttle buses, tour buses and buses servicing the commute between supermarkets and residential communities for sale to CME’s clients in the future. CME believes the division of target audiences by |
139
Table of Contents
the purpose of their travels would enable advertisers to more effectively target audiences of a more specific demographic focus, and thereby be willing to pay higher rates relative to advertising to an audience of the same size but with more varied demographics. CME believes this initiative will therefore be able to deliver incremental revenue. |
• | Generate revenues from the display of soft advertisements packaged as entertainment content. CME seeks to generate revenues from displaying entertainment content which are effectively soft advertisements, for a variety of products and services. Examples of such advertisements include travel programs featuring hotels, restaurants and tourist destinations, and fashion shows featuring lines of clothing being the subject of promotion. | |
• | Establish stationary advertising media. CME intends to establish stationary advertising media at inter-city express bus terminals to complement its business. In addition to providing an additional source of revenue, CME expects this expansion would increase the value of its network by increasing the size of the audience reachable and by extending the exposure for advertisers. | |
• | Offer new services to advertisers and passengers. To better service the passengers traveling on inter-city express buses carrying its network, CME intends to handle bookings of hotels, spa resorts, restaurants and other services through call centers or short messages in collaboration with relevant service providers and share revenues generated from such value-added service programs. |
• | Whether persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. CME typically enter into short term contracts with its advertising agency clients and its direct advertising clients that require CME to display their advertisements in exchange for a certain amount of advertising fees specified in the contracts. |
140
Table of Contents
• | Whether the services have been rendered. CME receives payments from its clients on a monthly basis based on the advertisements displayed on its network in the preceding month. | |
• | Whether the fees are fixed or determinable. The advertising fees specified in the contract are final and not subject to any subsequent amendment. | |
• | Whether collectability is reasonably assured. CME mitigates its collection risk by evaluating the creditworthiness of its clients and monitoring outstanding balances payable by CME’s clients. Therefore, CME did not have significant bad debts during the periods presented in its consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement. |

(11) | Fair value of the 100,000 shares issued as a finders fee was $0.8 million based on $7.90 per share as of September 25, 2009. |
(12) | TM is required to secure approximately $3.8 million of additional capital through long-term debt prior to or contemporaneously with the closing of the Transaction, which is reflected in the pro forma balance sheet and pro forma statement of operations. Since the terms of such long-term debt are not currently known, the data reflects interest expense at 10% per annum, a rate indicative of the current borrowing costs of the combined company.

• | FSPFAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, provides additional guidance to companies for determining fair values of financial instruments for which there is no active market or quoted prices may represent distressed transactions. The guidance includes a reaffirmation of the need to use judgment in certain circumstances. | |
• | FSPFAS 107-1 and APB28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires companies to provide additional fair value information for certain financial instruments in interim financial statements, similar to what is currently required to be disclosed on an annual basis. | |
• | FSPFAS 115-2,FAS 124-2, andEITF 99-20-2, Recognition and Presentation ofOther-Than-Temporary Impairments, amends the existing guidance regarding impairments for investments in debt securities. Specifically, it changes how companies determine if an impairment is considered to beother-than-temporary and the related accounting. This standard also provides for increased disclosures. |

* | On March 16, 2007, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Tenth National People’s Congress passed the Corporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (“new tax law”) which was effective on January 1, 2008. As a result of the new tax law, the income tax rate applicable to Fengzhong Media is 25% effectively from January 1, 2008. Accordingly, the Group’s deferred taxes were remeasured to reflect the enactment of the new tax law. Such a remeasure in deferred taxes has been recognized as a reduction in income tax expenses of $257,000 in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007. |
