Shareholders may vote by either attending the Meeting in person or by mailing the attached proxy form as instructed therein. Any proxy given may be revoked either by the voting in person or by written instrument revoking the appointment.

Shares of our ordinary shares represented by proxies that reflect “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares represented at the Annual General Meeting by proxies held by brokers or nominees as to which (i) the brokers or nominees have not received instructions from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have the discretionary voting power on a particular matter) will be counted for the purpose of determining the existence of a quorum at the Annual General Meeting, but will not be counted as a vote cast “for” or “against” any given matter. Pursuant to applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange, referred to as the NYSE, a broker does not have the discretion to vote on “non-routine” matters, which include the Proposals 1 through 7 contained in this proxy statement. As a result, any broker that is a member of the NYSE will not have the discretion to vote on Proposals 1 through 7 contained in this proxy statement. Because Proposals 1 through 7 in this proxy statement are considered “non-routine” matters under NYSE rules, we urge you to give voting instructions to your broker, otherwise, your shares will not be voted at the Annual General Meeting.

PROPOSAL 7

AMEND THE COMPANY’S AMENDED AND RESTATED 2008 SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN

BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED ORDINARY SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANT UNDER THE PLAN FROM 3,000,000 ORDINARY SHARES TO 4,500,000 ORDINARY SHARES

In connection with the Business Combination of SearchMedia International Limited and Ideation Acquisition Corp. on October 30, 2009, the stockholders of Ideation Acquisition Corp., the predecessor of the Company, approved the assumption of the SearchMedia International Limited 2008 Share Incentive Plan and its amendment and restatement as the SearchMedia Holdings Limited Amended and Restated 2008 Share Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”).

The purpose of the 2008 Plan is to promote the success and enhance the value of the Company by linking the personal interests of the members of the Board of Directors, employees, and consultants to those of the Company’s shareholders and by providing such individuals with an incentive for outstanding performance to generate superior returns to Company shareholders. The 2008 Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Company in its ability to motivate, attract, and retain the services of the members of the Board of Directors, employees, and consultants upon whose judgment, interest, and special effort the successful conduct of the Company’s operation is largely dependent.

The 2008 Plan originally provided for the issuance of up to 1,706,492 shares, which was increased to 3,000,000 shares following the 2011 annual general meeting.

The compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the Company recommended an increase in the 2008 Plan from 3,000,000 ordinary shares to 4,500,000 ordinary shares. On October 18, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized and approved, subject to the approval of the shareholders, the increase of the number of authorized shares to be awarded under the 2008 Plan from 3,000,000 ordinary shares to 4,500,000 ordinary shares which may be granted to designated employees, directors and consultants of the Company.

If the shareholders of the Company approve the amendment to the 2008 Plan, the revised text of Article 3, Section 3.1(a) of the 2008 Plan will read as follows:

“Subject to the provisions of Article 8 and Section 3.1(b), the aggregate number of Shares which may be issued or transferred pursuant to Awards under the Plan is 4,500,000.”

A copy of the currently effective 2008 Plan was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2009 as Exhibit 10.13 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K. Upon request, the Company will provide a shareholder with one copy of the 2008 Plan without charge.

Vote Required and Recommendation

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR Proposal 7. A resolution passed by a simple majority of votes cast by such shareholders on an as-if converted basis as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy, will be required for approval of Proposal 7.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR

THE INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED ORDINARY SHARES UNDER THE

COMPANY’S AMENDED AND RESTATED 2008 SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN.
