BEIJING & ATLANTA -- CDC Software, a wholly owned subsidiary of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA) and a provider of enterprise software applications and services, today announced it has appointed two board members to positions in corporate governance as part of its preparation for CDC Corporation's potential carve-out of CDC Software.

John Clough, vice chairman for CDC Software's Board of Directors, will serve as chairman of the Audit Committee and will oversee the company's audit and financial reporting processes, internal controls and risk management systems. Tom Manning will serve as chairman of the Compensation Committee and assist the Board in reviewing and approving executives and directors' compensation and supervise the administration of the company's equity incentive plans.

Mr. Clough is also a board member and chairman of the executive committee for CDC Corporation and serves as a special advisor to General Atlantic LLC.
