China Digital TV Announces Termination
of Asset Restructuring
BEIJING,
December 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- China Digital TV Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE: STV) ("China Digital TV" or the "Company"),
the leading provider of cloud-based application platforms and conditional access ("CA") systems which enable China's
digital cable television market to offer and secure diversified content services, today announced the termination of its asset
restructuring (the “Restructuring”) with Shanghai Tongda Venture Capital Co., Ltd. (“Tongda Venture”).
On November 30, 2015, Tongda Venture announced
in a press release entitled “Tongda Venture Terminates Non-public Offering” that it did not obtain the approval of
the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) for the non-public offering within the validity period of its shareholders’
approval, and therefore decided to terminate its non-public offering related to the Restructuring. On the same day, China Digital
TV announced in a press release entitled “China Digital TV Provides Update on Asset Restructuring” that in the absence
of an extension, the Restructuring will automatically terminate if it has not been completed by December 31, 2015. As neither an
extension has been agreed upon among the parties nor has the Restructuring been completed, the Restructuring and related transactions
terminate today pursuant to the relevant definitive agreements.
