WORLD MAHJONG LIMITED ANNOUNCES BROADCAST DEAL WITH YOUKU TUDOU OF CHINA

World Mahjong Ltd. has signed an agreement with one of the largest Internet television platforms in China -- Youku Tudou. Youku will broadcast two episodes of 50-minute programs produced by World Series of Mahjong (WSOM) that feature the 2015 WSOM championship main event held on Dec. 5 and Dec. 6 in Macau at the Venetian Macao Resort. The program will be broadcast by Youku in early 2016 on the company's main Internet television platform.

As of January, 2010, Youku was ranked No. 1 in the Chinese Internet video sector. Youku Tudou is the result of the 2012 merger of Chinese internet sites Youku and Tudou, creating one of China's biggest video sites. Prior to the announcement of the merger, Youku was the No. 11 website in China and Tudou was No. 14.

WSOM features the best mahjong players from around the world, all competing for cash prizes in an exhilarating tournament held in Asia's entertainment capital.

"The 2015 World Series of Mahjong championship marked an important step in our bid to organize the highest-quality mahjong tournament in the world," said Jim Mehren, president of World Mahjong. "Our broadcast agreement with Youku Tudou in China is a significant milestone in our plan to bring the event to a larger audience of mahjong enthusiasts, especially in the largest mahjong playing market in the world, China. We look forward to working closely with Youku Tudou to broaden the appeal of the World Series of Mahjong."

We seek Safe Harbor.
