TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF
SHANGHAI CENTURY ACQUISITION CORPORATION:
 
You are cordially invited to attend an extraordinary general meeting (“meeting”) of shareholders of Shanghai Century Acquisition Corporation (“ Shanghai Century ” or, the “ Company ”) to be held on July 8, 2008, at the offices of Loeb & Loeb LLP, 10100 Santa Monica Boulevard, Suite 2200, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. At the meeting, you will be asked to consider a proposal to approve the appointment of Cosimo Borrelli and Jacqueline Walsh, both of Borrelli Walsh Limited, Level 14, Tower 1 Admiralty Centre, 18 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong PRC, to act jointly and severally as liquidators of the Company (the “ Liquidators ”) in relation to the Company’s voluntary liquidation, with immediate effect, and that either of them shall have full power to act alone in the winding-up and have all the powers of a liquidator contained in the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2007 Revision) to winding-up and dissolving the Company including, but without limitation, the power to complete the distribution to the shareholders of the remaining assets of the Company, as expeditiously as possible, upon commencement of the winding-up. The Company will be deemed dissolved and cease to exist three months after the Liquidators have filed an account of the liquidation process with the Registrar of Companies, disclosing that the liquidation has been completed.

Under the articles of association of the Company (the “ Articles of Association ”) the Board of Directors (the “ Board ” or , the “ Directors ”) are required to take all such action necessary to dissolve and liquidate the Company. However, the Directors consider it advisable for an independent liquidator to be appointed. It is important that your shares are voted at this special meeting.
 
We are proposing that Cosimo Borrelli and Jacqueline Walsh, both of Borrelli Walsh Limited, are approved for appointment to act jointly and severally as Liquidators of Shanghai Century in connection with the Company’s voluntary liquidation.

Enclosed is a notice of special meeting and proxy statement containing detailed information concerning the Liquidators and the meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, we urge you to read this material carefully and vote your shares .
 
I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

PROXY STATEMENT FOR EXTRAORDINARY
GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
OF SHANGHAI CENTURY ACQUISITION CORPORATION
 
The Board of Directors of Shanghai Century Acquisition Corporation (“ Shanghai Century ” or, the “ Company ”) has unanimously approved the proposed appointment of Cosimo Borrelli and Jacqueline Walsh, both of Borrelli Walsh Limited, to act jointly and severally as Liquidators of Shanghai Century for the Company’s voluntary liquidation. If we obtain the approval of our shareholders, Cosimo Borrelli and Jacqueline Walsh both of Borrelli Walsh Limited, will be appointed Liquidators for the winding-up and dissolution of the Company.
 
This proxy statement provides you with detailed information about the appointment of the Liquidators and the meeting of Shanghai Century’s shareholders. We encourage you to carefully read this entire document.
 
The Liquidators cannot be appointed unless there is an affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares voted at the July 8, 2008 meeting for such proposal
 
NEITHER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS PROXY STATEMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
 
This proxy statement is dated June 20, 2008 and is first being mailed to Shanghai Century shareholders on or about that date.

SUMMARY
 
Shanghai Century’s Articles of Association provided that the Company would continue in existence only until April 28, 2008 (the “ Termination Date ”) and dissolve if the Company did not complete a business combination by such Termination Date. Such dissolution of the Company has the same effect as if it had formally gone through a voluntary liquidation procedure under the Cayman Islands’ Companies Law.
 
Under the Company’s Articles of Association the Board of Directors is required to take all actions necessary to dissolve and liquidate the Company. The Board considers it advisable and in the best interests of the Company for an independent liquidator to be appointed which requires shareholder approval under Cayman Islands’ law. The Board of Directors believe that the appointment of Cosimo Borrelli and Jacqueline Walsh, both of Borrelli Walsh Limited, acting jointly and severally as Liquidators of the Company would be the most efficient and effective means of dissolving and winding-up the affairs of the Company.

On May 28, 2008, the Directors of the Company filed a Notice of Dissolution and a Declaration of Solvency with the Registrar of Companies, in addition to publishing in the Cayman Islands’ Gazette, a notice to all possible creditors of the Company’s voluntary winding-up and distribution of assets, and inviting such creditors of the Company to submit any claims by June 6, 2008. The Liquidators will undertake their own independent assessment of the Company’s creditors and evaluation of claims.As soon as the affairs of Shanghai Century are fully wound-up, (which includes the distribution to the holders of shares issued in our April 28, 2006 initial public offering (the “Public Shareholders”)), the Liquidators are required to furnish a final report and account before a final extraordinary general meeting, which must be called by a public notice at least one month before it takes place. After the final meeting, the Liquidators must make a return to the Registrar confirming the date on which the meeting was held and three months after the date of such filing the Company is deemed dissolved.

The Public Shareholders will receive an aggregate sum distribution in proportion to their respective equity interests, equal to the amount in the trust account into which the net proceeds of our IPO were deposited (the “Trust Account”), plus (i)  one-half of the interest earned on the Trust Account and (ii)  any remaining net assets (subject to our obligations under Cayman Islands’ law to provide for claims of creditors). The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account may however , become subject to the claims of our creditors (which may include vendors and service providers that we have engaged to assist us in any way in connection with our search for a target business and that are owed money by the Company, as well as the target businesses themselves) which could have higher priority than the claims of our Public Shareholders. The per share distribution amount will not be determined until after the Liquidators have evaluated and paid the creditors’ claims and may be less than the IPO price of US$8.00 per unit, assuming the entire amount of the Trust Account is available for distribution.
 
There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to our warrants which have expired worthless. The Company will pay the costs of liquidation from the remaining assets outside of the Trust Account. The Liquidators will commence distributions from the Trust Account to the Public Shareholders as expeditiously as possible. Shanghai Century’s initial shareholders have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the shares that they acquired prior to the IPO.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
AND APPOINTMENT OF THE LIQUIDATORS.

Shanghai Century is furnishing this proxy statement to its shareholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by its Board of Directors for use at the meeting in connection with a proposal for the appointment of Borrelli Walsh Limited as Liquidators of Shanghai Century in relation to the Company’s voluntary liquidation.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE MEETING?
   
A.
 
Holders of Shanghai Century shares will be asked to approve the appointment of Cosimo Borrelli and Jacqueline Walsh, both of Borrelli Walsh Limited, to act jointly and severally as Liquidators in relation to the voluntary liquidation of the Company. You are not being asked to vote on the liquidation of the Company. Under Cayman Islands’ law and the Company’s Articles of Association, no other business may be transacted at the meeting.
     
Q.
WHY IS THE COMPANY PROPOSING THE APPOINTMENT OF A LIQUIDATOR?
   
A.
 
Under the Articles of Association the Board is required to take all such action necessary to dissolve and liquidate the Company; however, the Board considers it advisable for an independent liquidator to be appointed. Cayman Islands’ law requires shareholder approval for appointment of an independent liquidator.
     
Q.
WHEN DOES THE DISTRIBUTION TO THE SHAREHOLDERS ACTUALLY COMMENCE?
   
A.
 
Distributions to the Public Shareholders will commence after the Liquidators have satisfactorily assessed the Company’s books, records and other financial documents, for the purpose of establishing the Company’s creditors and evaluating their claims for payment. This process will take approximately four to eight weeks. The Company’s Board of Directors has already provided notice to the creditors through an advertisement in the Cayman Islands’ Gazette of the Company’s intended voluntary liquidation. Although highly unlikely, the Liquidators have the option of submitting an additional advertisement and notice to creditors if the Liquidators are not satisfied with the Board of Directors actions.  
   
Q.
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF A LIQUIDATOR?
   
A.
 
The primary role of a liquidator is to:
 
·     to advise and to establish a strategy;
 
·     to act upon that advice professionally and to take appointments;
 
·     to look after the interests of creditors;
 
·      to act impartially at all times;
 
·     to follow the ethical guidelines as set out by the licensing bodies; and
 
·     to fulfill statutory obligations of a liquidator placed on him by such appointment.
 
Q.
WHAT ARE THE PRIMARY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF A LIQUIDATOR?
     
A.
 
The l iquidators are responsible for winding- up the Company’s affairs by realizing all the Company’s assets and distributing them to its creditors. Any remaining assets, including proceeds from the Trust Account are distributed to the Public Shareholders. The liquidators will provide the Public Shareholders with periodic updates of the liquidation process, and any other material matters, through the issuance of press releases and electronic mail.
