CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA), a leading global enterprise software and new media company, announced today that the company and its subsidiaries have purchased an aggregate total amount of approximately 2.3 million shares of CDC Corporation common stock since January 2008, at an average price of approximately $1.53 per share.

In addition, since January 2008, management and related affiliates have purchased a net amount of approximately 492,602 shares at an average price of approximately $2.80 per share.

"As we have said before, we clearly believe our shares are undervalued by the investment community," said Peter Yip, CEO of CDC Corporation. "We have recently reported solid fourth quarter and year-end earnings with a 56 percent increase in fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that CDC Corporation has a sum-of-parts valuation and its price is not reflective of the value contained in the company''s underlying assets of its four key businesses. We are currently considering possible strategic alternatives. These strategic alternatives may include strategic transactions, a dividend policy or periodic distribution of registered shares of our underlying publicly listed subsidiaries to CDC Corporation shareholders that could allow them to benefit from our recent efforts to unlock shareholder value as well as to enhance the liquidity of the publicly listed subsidiaries, in an orderly and tax effective manner. Our share purchases demonstrate the confidence we have in the company''s strategy and long-term prospects."
