SouFun Announces the Signing of an Agreement to
Acquire Former AIG Training Center
BEIJING, China, December 23, 2010 SouFun Holdings Limited (NYSE: SFUN, SouFun), the leading
real estate and home furnishing Internet portal in China, today announced that it has entered into
an agreement to acquire former Training Center of American International Group, Inc. (AIG)
including mainly the building at 72 Wall Street, New York, which has a space around 250,000 square
feet. SouFun will pay about US$46 million and the acquisition is expected to complete in the first
half of 2011 subject to certain conditions.
SouFun plans to use the former AIG Training Center as its own global training center to train its
expanding management, staff and clients, in conjunction with selected universities and colleges in
the United States. As Chinese economy continues to expand, developing capable Chinese management
talent is a strategic priority for the company to ensure its continued competitive advantage and
market leadership.
SouFuns history of strong growth stems from its management staff of all levels and its strong
relationship with a comprehensive client base, said Vincent Mo, SouFuns Executive Chairman. We
believe that providing training to our management staff and our clients will bring us long term
return. Located at the center of the world economy, the Manhattan training facilities we are
acquiring, together with future available high quality lecturers, will provide an attractive and
unique value proposition to our management staff and clients. It will become an important part of
SouFuns internal training program called SouFun Management School which has trained most of
SouFuns managers and executives and has played a critical role in the past. Training our
management staff and clients will continue to be one of SouFuns main operational focuses into the
future.
