HANGZHOU, China, May 30, 2014  — Sky-mobi Limited (“Sky-mobi” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:MOBI), a leading mobile application platform in China, today announced that the Company’s Board of Directors has approved a fiscal year-end change from March 31 to December 31, beginning in the calendar year ending December 31, 2014. Additionally, the Company also announced that its Board of Directors has approved a program to repurchase up to US$20 million of the Company’s American depositary shares (“ADSs”) over the next 12-month period, ending on May 30, 2015.

The Company’s decision to change its fiscal year end is intended to improve its comparability with industry peers on both a quarterly and annual basis, to align Company’s reporting cycle with the calendar year and to provide more consistent quarter-to-quarter comparisons.

Michael Tao Song, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sky-mobi stated, “Sky-mobi has delivered robust growth both operationally and financially in the past few quarters. Through our well designed initiatives and dedicated efforts, we are confident of the strong growth momentum of our mobile gaming business and hope to effectively present the fast-changing business dynamics to our shareholders. By redefining our revenue breakdown, starting in the second quarter of 2014, and aligning our reporting periods with our peers, we believe investors will be able to better understand our business and develop growing confidence of our tremendous potential as a leading distribution platform in China’s mobile application market.”

The Company expects to purchase shares on the open market, in negotiated transactions or otherwise in compliance with all of the conditions of Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing of the shares repurchased will be at the discretion of management and will depend on a number of factors, including price, market conditions and regulatory requirements. The Company retains the right to limit, terminate or extend the share repurchase program at any time without prior notice.

John Bi, Chief Financial Officer of Sky-mobi stated, “We have experienced significant revenue growth in the past few quarters at our smartphone business  and our growth momentum is back on track with our successful transition. Given our strong balance sheet, long-term growth prospects, and successful turnaround story, we believe that now is the right time to enhance shareholder value through share repurchases and continued investment in growth initiatives.”
