Baidu Regretfully Announces Passing of Chief Financial Officer Shawn Wang

     BEIJING, Dec. 29, 2007 — Baidu.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIDU), the leading Chinese language Internet search provider, today regretfully announced that Shawn Wang, Baidu’s Chief Financial Officer, passed away on December 27, 2007 in an accident in China during the Christmas holiday vacation.

     “We are all completely shocked and deeply saddened by this tragic news,” said Robin Li, Baidu’s Chairman and CEO. “Shawn’s leadership and vision helped transform Baidu into a leading US public company, and his presence will be greatly missed. Shawn was not only a tremendous leader within our company, but also a wonderful friend to us all. We extend our deepest sympathy and most sincere condolences to Shawn’s family.”

     Under Mr. Wang’s leadership, Baidu has built an effective financial reporting system in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. His duties will be assumed on an interim basis by the senior management team, including the senior finance personnel, until a successor is appointed.

He was named “CFO of the Year” by CFO Magazine in 2005.
