Item 2. Identity and Background.

This Schedule 13D is jointly filed on behalf of Tianqiao Chen (“Mr. Chen”), Shanda Media Limited (“Shanda Media”), Shanda Investment Group Limited (“Shanda Investment”), Shanda Technology Overseas Capital Company Limited (“Shanda Technology”) and Shanda Asset Management Holdings Limited (“Shanda Asset Management” and together with Mr. Chen, Shanda Media, Shanda Technology and Shanda Asset Management, the “Reporting Persons” and each a “Reporting Person”).

The Reporting Persons acquired the Issuer’s securities as reported on this Schedule 13D because they believed such securities represented an attractive investment. The Reporting Persons originally filed a Schedule 13G as passive investors, but determined to file a Schedule 13D in order to maintain flexibility going forward consistent with a conservative approach to disclosure.

The Reporting Persons believe they have a good relationship with the Issuer’s management team and intend to engage with the Issuer’s management team regarding the Issuer’s business and operations and the status of the Issuer’s ongoing turnaround strategy.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors and subject to the obligations described herein, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the board of directors, price levels of shares of Common Stock, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, market conditions and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may propose or take such actions with respect to their investments in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock or other financial instruments related to the Issuer or selling some or all of their beneficial or economic holdings, engaging in hedging or similar transactions with respect to the securities relating to the Issuer and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
