The~~Merger ~~record date for the special meeting has not been changed and remains May 29, 2009~~Co. ~~Stockholders~~ ~~who have previously sent in proxy cards or given instructions to brokers do not need to do so again~~Ltd. A, ~~copy of the~~MediaInv ~~press release for such announcement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99~~Ltd.1, ~~which~~Kerry isPropper ~~hereby~~and ~~incorporated~~Li ~~by reference herein~~Shuangqing.

Pursuant to the Amendment, the consideration to be received by the common shareholders of China Networks upon consummation of the Merger Agreement will not include any cash. Prior to the Amendment, the Merger Agreement provided for the common shareholders of China Networks to receive a total of $10,000,000 in cash upon the closing.

In lieu of such cash consideration, the common shareholders of China Networks will receive as a group, one additional ordinary share of CNIH, the surviving corporation, for each share of the Company that upon or after the closing of the merger: (i) is converted into the right to receive proceeds of the trust account, or (ii) is repurchased pursuant to certain arrangements into which the Company has and will be entering into with its existing stockholders in order to secure a favorable vote at the pending Special Meeting of Stockholders.

Because each common share converted into cash or repurchased shall result in an additional share issued to the common shareholders of China Networks under the terms of the amended Merger Agreement, the Amendment will not increase the total number of ordinary shares of CNIH outstanding beyond the amount that would be outstanding if the Merger Agreement had been approved and no Alyst stockholders had converted their shares into cash or had their shares repurchased.

Assuming 95% of the publicly held shares of Alyst and CNIH are either converted into cash or repurchased after the closing of the Merger Agreement, 75.3% of the common shares of CNIH will be held by the former China Networks common shareholders; 7.7% will be held by the former preferred stockholders of China Networks; and 17.0% will be held by the former stockholders of Alyst. Assuming 95% of the publicly held Alyst common shares are sold to CNIH or converted into cash, after consummation of the Merger Agreement the remaining Alyst public stockholders will retain 3.2% of the ordinary shares of CNIH.

This potential change in the post-merger stockholder base of CNIH would likely have the effect of altering the accounting for the merger from the forward acquisition by the Company of China Networks described in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2009 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), to a reverse merger.

A copy of the Amendment is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and the Amendment, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement and Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 thereto, copies of which were attached as Annexes A, B and C, respectively, to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and the Amendment. On June 19, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing the Amendment. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
