BEIJING--(Marketwire - January 5, 2010) - Exceed Company Ltd. ("Exceed" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: [ EDS ]) announced today that it has amended the terms of its program for early cashless exercise of warrants through ordinary share exchange to round all fractional shares up to the nearest whole share in lieu of making a cash payment for fractional shares. The offer, as previously extended by Exceed, currently expires on Friday, February 26, 2010 at 5:00 p.m., EST (the "Offer Period"). The offer previously was scheduled to expire on December 30th, 2009 at 5:00 p.m., EST. The Company will continue to offer the holders of all 10,890,000 outstanding warrants (the "Warrants"), including Warrants held as part of the Company's units), the opportunity, for a limited time, to acquire ordinary shares of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") by exchanging the Warrants for Ordinary Shares. Exceed is modifying the terms of the Warrants to permit, instead of paying the purchase price of $5.25 in cash, the exchange of 3.96 Warrants for one Ordinary Share.

Upon termination of the offer, all of the original terms of the Warrants will be reinstituted, and the Warrants will expire on November 8, 2011. This expiration could be accelerated by redemption as outlined in the filings made by Exceed and its predecessor 2020 ChinaCap Acquirco, Inc. ("2020") with the SEC related to the original issuance of the Warrants.

Investors and security holders are urged to read the following documents filed with the SEC, as amended from time to time, relating to the offer as they contain important information: (1) the Company's registration statement on Form F-1; (2) the Company's Schedule TO and (3) the Company's offer letter to Warrant holders.
