furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of The9 Limited, a Cayman Islands company (the &#147;Company&#148;), of proxies from the holders of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company, par value US$0.01
per share (the &#147;Ordinary Shares&#148;) to be exercised at the Annual General Meeting of the Company (the &#147;Meeting&#148;) to be held at 4/F, Building No.&nbsp;3, 690 Bibo Road, Zhangjiang Hi-tech Park, Pudong New Area, Shanghai 201203, PRC
on October&nbsp;28, 2013 at 10:00 a.m., Shanghai time, and at any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting (the &#147;Meeting Notice&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Only the holders of record of the Ordinary Shares at the close of business on September&nbsp;27, 2013 (the &#147;Record Date&#148;) are
entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Each Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote on all matters. According to the annual report on Form 20-F filed by the Company on April&nbsp;18, 2013, 28,783,929 Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary
Shares in the form of American Depositary Shares but excluding Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options) were outstanding as of December&nbsp;31, 2012. The quorum of the Meeting is one or more shareholders present in person or
by proxy representing at least an aggregate of 33% of the Ordinary Shares in issue giving a right to attend and vote at the Meeting. This Form of Proxy and the accompanying Meeting Notice are first being mailed to the shareholders of the Company on
or about October&nbsp;3, 2013. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Ordinary Shares represented by all properly executed proxies returned to the Company will be voted at
the Meeting as indicated or, if no instruction is given, the proxy will vote the shares in his discretion, unless a reference to the holder of the proxy having such discretion has been deleted and initialed on this Form of Proxy. Where the chairman
of the Meeting acts as proxy and is entitled to exercise his discretion, he is likely to vote the shares FOR the resolutions. As to any other business that may properly come before the Meeting, all properly executed proxies will be voted by the
persons named therein in accordance with their discretion. The Company does not presently know of any other business which may come before the Meeting. However, if any other matter properly comes before the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) or
postponement(s) thereof, which may properly be acted upon, unless otherwise indicated the proxies solicited hereby will be voted on such matter in accordance with the discretion of the proxy holders named therein. Any person giving a proxy has the
right to revoke it at any time before it is exercised by (i)&nbsp;filing with the Company a duly signed revocation or (ii)&nbsp;voting in person at the Meeting. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>To be valid, this Form of Proxy must be completed, signed and delivered to the Company&#146;s office at Building No.&nbsp;3, No.&nbsp;690,
Bibo Road, Zhangjiang Hi-tech Park, Pudong New Area, Shanghai 201203, PRC as soon as possible and in any event no later than 48 hours before the time for holding the Meeting. </B></P>
