SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION The Reporting Person acquired its beneficial interest in the Common Shares through an arrangement ("Arrangement") under the Company Act of British Columbia, approved by the securityholders of Pivotal at an extraordinary general meeting held February 23, 2004, subsequently approved judicially via an order of the British Columbia Supreme Court on February 24, 2004, and closed on February 25, 2004. Pursuant to the Arrangement, the Reporting Person acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Pivotal Corporation. The Reporting Person funded the acquisition through a combination of cash available in working capital and its own common shares (NASDAQ: china). According to the terms of the Arrangement, holders of Pivotal common shares could elect to receive either (a) US$2.14, comprised of US$1.00 in cash plus US$1.14 in chinadotcom common shares (to be calculated using the average closing price of chinadotcom common shares on Nasdaq during the ten consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day that is two trading days prior to the closing of the acquisition) or (b) US$2.00 in cash per share. As a result of the elections of Pivotal shareholders, total proceeds for the acquisition were US$35,924,840 in cash and 1,846,429 chinadotcom common shares, with a value (based on the average closing price of chinadotcom common shares on Nasdaq during the ten consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day that is two trading days prior to the closing of the acquisition) of US$20,717,672. 4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM 4.
