Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 1, 2009, the registrant Sohu.com Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) by and among (i) Changyou.com Limited (“Changyou”), Sohu.com (Game) Limited (“Sohu Game”), and the Company and (ii)(A) Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”) and (B) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“Merrill Lynch”), as representatives of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”) named in Schedule A thereto.

The Company entered into the Underwriting Agreement in connection with a registration statement on Form F-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Changyou, which is an indirect subsidiary of the Company, for an initial public offering (the “Offering”) of American depositary shares (or “ADSs”), each representing two Class A ordinary shares of Changyou. Under the Underwriting Agreement, Changyou agreed to issue and sell to the Underwriters 3.75 million ADSs. Sohu Game, which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, agreed to sell, as selling shareholder, 3.75 million ADSs. Sohu Game also granted to the Underwriters the option to purchase from Sohu Game up to an additional 1.125 million ADS, solely to cover over-allotments, exercisable at any time within 30 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement. Changyou and Sohu Game agreed to sell the ADSs to the Underwriters at a price of $14.88 per ADSs, which is net of a 7% underwriting discount from the initial public offering price of $16 per ADS.

The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement was completed on April 7, 2009, and included the exercise in full of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option. At the closing, the Company sold 3.75 million ADSs to the Underwriters and Sohu Game sold 4.875 million ADSs to the Underwriters. Proceeds from the Offering to the Company and Sohu Game, after deduction of the underwriting discounts, but without deducting expenses of the Offering payable by the Company and Sohu Game, were $128.3 million in the aggregate, of which of which $55.8 million were paid to the Company and $72.5 million were paid to Sohu Game.

Under the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also agreed to indemnify the Underwriters with respect to certain losses, claims, damages or liabilities that might be incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering.
