Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 27, 2011, AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to that certain Stockholders’ Agreement by and among the Company, Edward Tian, Libin Sun, and Linkage Technologies International Holdings Limited dated December 4, 2009 (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment, Mr. Tian, a director of the Company, and Mr. Sun, a director and the Executive Co-Chairman of the Company, agreed to vote all of their respective voting shares in favor of the election or re-election to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the other. On all other matters (except their own election to the Board), Mr. Tian and Mr. Sun agreed to consult with each other prior to any vote of stockholders and attempt in good faith to agree on whether they shall vote their respective voting shares for or against, or abstain or withhold authority with respect to, all matters so submitted to the stockholders of the Company for their approval. In the event they fail to agree on such other matter, Mr. Tian and Mr. Sun agreed to vote their respective voting shares for or against, or to abstain or withhold authority with respect to, such other matter in proportion to the votes for and against, and the abstentions and withholds, of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors that are not held by Mr. Tian or Mr. Sun. In addition, the Amendment provides that the Stockholders’ Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) July 1, 2013, and (ii) the date on which either of Mr. Tian or Mr. Sun beneficially owns (as defined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) less than 5% of the voting securities of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated by reference herein.
