Safe Harbor Statement

This current report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and therefore you should not place undue reliance on them.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. We caution you that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the current global financial and credit markets crisis and its potential impact on the Chinese economy, the slower growth the Chinese economy experienced during the latter half of 2008 and 2009, which could recur in the future, the uncertain regulatory landscape in the People’s Republic of China, fluctuations in Sohu’s quarterly operating results, EPS dilution resulting from Changyou.com Limited’s initial public offering, Sohu’s historical and possible future losses, and its reliance on online advertising sales, online games and wireless services (most wireless revenues are collected from a few mobile network operators) for its revenues. Our Further information regarding these and other risks is included in Sohu’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
