SHENZHEN, China, March 27, 2015  — China Information Technology, Inc. (the “Company” or “CNIT”) (Nasdaq GS: CNIT), a leading provider of integrated cloud-based platform, exchange, and big data solutions to the Chinese new media industry, today announced that the Company has been selected by Luoyang City to promote its 2015 Annual Luoyang Peony Festival (“Festival”) using the Company’s cloud-based new media solutions. The Company also won the sole naming right to the Festival and its opening ceremony.

The 33^rd Annual Peony Festival will be held from April 4 to May 5, 2015 in Luoyang City of Henan Province. During the Festival, the Company will deploy large-scale, cloud-based digital display terminals throughout Luoyang to broadcast festival highlights, various programs on city sightseeing, sports contests, exhibitions and tradeshows, as well as advertisements. To be installed at high-traffic venues such as the airport, department stores, hotels and residential communities, the CNIT display terminals will also display festival-related public information and local lifestyle guides.

“Our Cloud-App-Terminal (CAT) new media solutions are disrupting the traditional promotional methods which rely on newspaper and television,” said Mr. Jiang Huai Lin, Chairman and CEO of the Company. “Through our cloud-based digital display terminals, program highlights and public information from the spectacular Peony Festival can be broadcast live to a larger audience at more places. At the Festival, we will showcase the exciting capabilities in promotion, presentation and information dissemination of our cloud-based new media solutions, and look forward to bringing new dynamics to traditional cultural events through the use of internet technology. In addition, CNIT will further develop cooperation and partnership with Luoyang government to leverage local resources in tourism, cultural exchange, and media, which could potentially create significant business opportunities for CNIT. ”

Luoyang, the ancient capital of 13 dynasties in China, has thousands of years of historical and cultural heritage. Beginning in 1983, the Annual Luoyang Peony Festival has been selected as one of China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage, and is held each year from April to May. A state-level cultural event that combines cultural exchange, trade shows and tourism, the Festival has evolved into an ideal stage for corporate branding and promotion.
