INTRODUCTION

        This Amendment No. 2 (this "Amendment") to the Rule 13E-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (the "Transaction Statement"), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), jointly by the following persons (each, a "Filing Person," and collectively, the "Filing Persons"): (a) Perfect World Co., Ltd., an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Company"), the issuer of the ordinary shares, consisting of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 per share (each, a "Share"), including the Shares represented by the American depositary shares ("ADSs"), each representing five Class B ordinary shares of the Company, that is subject to the transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act; (b) Mr. Michael Yufeng Chi, the founder and chairman of the board of directors the Company (the "Chairman"); (c) Perfect Human Holding Company Limited, a British Virgin Islands company controlled by the Chairman ("Perfect Human"); (d) Perfect Peony Holding Company Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands ("Parent") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Perfect Human; and (e) Perfect World Merger Company Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"). This Amendment amends and restates in its entirety information set forth in the Transaction Statement.

        On April 26, 2015, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation after the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

        If the Merger is consummated, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive US$4.04 and each issued and outstanding ADS will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$20.20, in each case, in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes. The surviving corporation will pay any applicable fees, charges and expenses of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the "ADS Depositary"), in its capacity as the ADS depositary in connection with distribution of the merger consideration to holders of ADSs, including applicable ADS cancellation fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Merger is consummated, the following Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) will be cancelled and cease to exist at the Effective Time but will not be converted into the right to receive the consideration described in the immediately preceding sentence:

        In addition to the foregoing, at the Effective Time, each option to purchase Shares granted under the Company's Amended and Restated Share Incentive Plan, effective November 14, 2009, the Company's 2010 Share Incentive Plan and the Company's 2013 Share Incentive Plan (as amended and

supplemented, collectively, the "Share Incentive Plans") that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested or exercisable, will be cancelled and shall entitle the former holder thereof to receive an amount equal to the product of (a) the excess, if any, of US$4.04 over the per share exercise price of such option and (b) the number of Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) underlying such option payable on the next applicable regularly scheduled employee payroll date (whether or not such option holder is then an employee of the Company), in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes.

        The Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including obtaining the requisite approval of the shareholders of the Company. The Merger Agreement, the plan of merger required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands in connection with the Merger (the "Plan of Merger") and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger (collectively, the "Transactions"), including the Merger, must be authorized and approved by a special resolution of the Company passed by an affirmative vote of holders of Shares representing at least two-thirds of the voting rights of the Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) present and voting in person or by proxy as a single class at the extraordinary general meeting held in accordance with its memorandum and articles of association.

        The Company will make available to its shareholders a proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement," a preliminary copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1) to this Amendment), relating to the extraordinary general meeting, at which the Company's shareholders will consider and vote upon, among other proposals, a proposal to authorize and approve the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Transactions, including the Merger. As of the date hereof, the Proxy Statement is in preliminary form and is subject to completion.
