The proxy statement contains important information about the proposed share exchange and related matters. INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AS WELL AS ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE. Investors and stockholders may obtain free copies of the proxy statement and other documents filed with the SEC by Hartcourt through the web site maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.
