Statement re. Suspension

ET-CHINA.COM INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

("Et-china" or "the Company")

Suspension of Shares to trading on AIM

The Company announces that the audited Final results for the year ended 31 December 2009 as published on 29 April 2010, are non-statutory for the purposes of the AIM Rules as the auditor has not yet received the necessary authorisation and as such it will be unable to post to shareholders the annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2009.

Accordingly, the Company confirms that it will not be able to comply with AIM Rule 19 for Companies requiring the AIM company to send its audited annual accounts to shareholders not later than six months after the end of the financial year to which they relate and as a result its shares will be suspended from trading on AIM effective 7a.m. on 1 July 2010. The Company is currently undertaking the required steps with its advisers to be in a position to post its annual accounts to shareholders and shall do so as soon as its auditor has received the necessary authorisationassuming it does so. A further announcement will be made in due course.

Further to the posting on 16 June 2010 of a Scheme Circular containing details of the recommended proposal by Kuoni Travel Holding Ltd ("Kuoni") to acquire, for cash, all the issued and to be issued ordinary shares in Et-china not already owned by Kuoni (the "Proposal") to be effected by way of a scheme of arrangement under Part 18A of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (the "Scheme"), the expected timetable of principal events will remain unchanged.

The Scheme timetable is as follows:

The following times and dates are indicative only and will depend, among other things, on the date upon which the Court sanctions the Scheme, and the date on which the conditions to complete the Proposal are either satisfied or (where capable of waiver) waived. The Court Hearing (to sanction the Scheme) is expected to occur on 22 July 2010. If the expected dates of the Court Hearings are changed, Et‑china will give notice of the changes by issuing an announcement through a Regulatory Information Service or by displaying a notice on its website www.et-chinalimited.com.

All references in the above timetable to times are to Jersey times unless otherwise stated.

Any capitalised term used but not defined in this announcement has the same meaning as is given to it in the Scheme Circular.

The Scheme Circular is available for inspection during normal business hours on any weekday (public holidays excepted) at the offices of Denton Wilde Sapte LLP, One Fleet Place, London, EC4M 7WS until the conclusion of the Court Meeting and the EGM.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company is not subject to the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers ("City Code") and accordingly investors should be aware that they are not afforded the protections of the City Code.
