来自MarketWatch的报道，在星期五交易日的晚些时候，新浪（SINA）股价一度上涨至27.24美元，而在向美国SEC（证券交易委员会）提交盛大入主新浪股东的报告之前，新浪的收盘股价为25.60美元，跟前一交易日的收盘价23.18美元相比，上涨了10%。
上海盛大网络发展有限公司当晚发表声明称它与其控股股东kyline Media Limited携手入股新浪。而在新浪交给SEC的报告中称“在1月12日至2月10日之间，交易的股票数额已经达到2.304亿美元。”（译者注：按照新浪网自己提供的消息其已发行股数为5047.8万股，SNDA收购了19.5%，即983.3万股。由于交易总额是2.304亿美元，每股收购价大约23.43美元。 ）
作为中国的ISP，新浪提供互联网服务、在线内容，其中还包括流行的算命占卦等服务（可参见相关的前期报告。）新浪在报告中还称，因为数据显示流通市场上购买其股票的意愿非常坚决，明显表示盛大有并购的意图。而盛大的股价在并购的消息披露之后股价下跌1%至29.68美元，以30.01美元收盘。

Skyline, SCIL, SML and Mr. Chen are referred to collectively herein as
the "Reporting Persons". The Reporting Persons are making this joint
filing because they may be deemed to constitute a "group" within the
meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Act"), although neither the fact of this filing or
anything contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission by SML or
Mr. Chen that they are members of a group.

the symbol "SNDA"

9,133,750 Shares are held by Shanda and were purchased for an aggregate

Reporting Persons after it allocates appropriate funding. While Shanda
does not currently have agreements or arrangements for the purpose of
funding such purchase, it expects that it will transfer the necessary
funds from its operating subsidiaries by cash dividend in accordance
with the laws and regulations of the Peoples Republic of China.
PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
The Securities have been acquired for strategic investment purposes with
the intention of acquiring a substantial ownership position in the
Issuer's Shares. The Reporting Persons expect to evaluate the Issuer and
review their holdings in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending
upon various factors, including, but not limited to, Shanda's and the
Issuer's business, prospects and financial condition and other
developments concerning Shanda and the Issuer, market conditions and
other factors that the Reporting Persons may deem relevant to their
investment decision, each Reporting Person may take such actions in the
future as it deems appropriate in light of the circumstances and
conditions existing from time to time, including: increasing its stake
in the Issuer through open market purchases, private transactions, or
tender or exchange offers; seeking to acquire or influence control of
the Issuer, the means of which may include board representation; or
seeking a merger, consolidation or other business combinations.
Depending on these same factors, the Reporting Persons, or any of them,
may determine to sell all or a portion of the Securities that they now
own or hereafter may acquire on the open market or in private
transactions, although none of the Reporting Persons has a current
intention to do so.
In connection with their investment, the Reporting Persons, or any of
them, may engage in discussions with the Issuer to explore the
possibility of a business combination transaction. The Reporting Persons
expect that such discussions, if any, with the Issuer would be held with
the full cooperation of the Issuer. In the event that no such
discussions occur, or if they do occur but fail to result in a
negotiated transaction, the Reporting Persons currently intend to
maintain their investment in the Shares in accordance with the
investment purpose set forth above.
