* Calculated solely for the purpose of determining the filing fee in accordance with Rule 0-11(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The filing fee is calculated based on the sum of (a) the aggregate cash payment of $2.2 per share merger consideration for 135,540,773 outstanding shares of the issuer subject to the transaction, plus (b) the product of 133,752 ADSs issuable pursuant to the Company options multiplied by $9.95 (which is the difference between $15.4 per ADS merger consideration and the weighted average exercise price of $5.45 per ADS), plus (c) the product of 5,136 restricted shares and restricted share units of the issuer multiplied by the proposed $15.4 per ADS merger consideration, as applicable ((a), (b) and (c) together, the “Transaction Valuation”).

** The amount of the filing fee, calculated in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 0-11(b)(1) and the Securities and Exchange Commission Fee Rate Advisory #1 for Fiscal Year 2013, was calculated by multiplying the Transaction Valuation by 0.00013640.

INTRODUCTION

This Amendment No. 3 to the Rule 13e-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this “Transaction Statement”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), jointly by the following persons (each, a “Filing Person,” and collectively, the “Filing Persons”): (a) 3SBio Inc., a Cayman Islands company (the “Company”), the issuer of the ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 per share (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”), including the Shares represented by the American depositary shares (“ADSs”), each representing seven Shares, that are subject to the transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act; (b) Century Sunshine Limited, a Cayman Islands company (“Holdco”); (c) Decade Sunshine Limited, a Cayman Islands company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Parent”); (d) Decade Sunshine Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”); (e) Dr. Jing Lou, the chairman and chief executive officer of the Company (“Dr. Lou”); (f) Dan Lou, the founder and an advisor to the Company and the father of Dr. Lou; (g) Bin Huang, the vice president and a director of the Company; (h) Dongmei Su, the vice president, chief technology officer and a director of the Company and (i) CPEChina Fund, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“CITIC PE”). Dr. Lou, Dan Lou, Bin Huang, Dongmei Su, Ke Li, Bo Tan, Ming Hu, Deyu Kong, Fei You, Yongfu Chen, Jiaoe Zhang, Thomas Folinsbee, Hui Dang, Zhonghua Zhang and Qingjie Zhang are collectively referred to herein as the “Rollover Shareholders.” The Rollover Shareholders and CITIC PE are collectively referred to herein as the “Consortium.” The Rollover Shareholders, together with Parent, Merger Sub and Holdco, are collectively referred to in this Schedule 13E-3 as the “Buyer Group.”

On February 8, 2013, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “merger agreement”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving company after the merger as a wholly owned subsdiary of Parent. Dr. Lou is currently the sole beneficial owner of Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub. Upon closing of the merger, Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub will be beneficially owned by the Consortium.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger (“effective time”), each outstanding Share, including Shares represented by ADSs, other than (a) Shares and ADSs beneficially owned by (i) Parent or Merger Sub, (ii) any member of the Consortium, including, without limitation, each restriced share (a “Company RS”) and restricted share unit (a “Company RSU”) of the Company that are listed in Schedule A to a rollover agreement entered into by the Rollover Shareholders, Parent and Holdco dated as of February 8, 2013, pursuant to which each such Company RS and Company RSU, together with the Shares and ADSs listed therein and beneficially owned by the Rollover Shareholders, will be cancelled for nil consideration ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Consortium Shares”) or (iii) the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and (b) any Shares owned by shareholders who have validly exercised and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their dissenters’ rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Law (as amended) (the “Cayman Islands Companies Law”) (the “Dissenting Shares,” together with the Shares and ADSs described under (a), the “Excluded Shares”), will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $2.20 per Share in cash without interest, and for the avoidance of doubt, because each ADS represents seven Shares, each outstanding ADS (other than any ADS that represents Excluded Shares) will represent the right to receive $15.40 in cash per ADS without interest (less $0.05 per ADS cancellation fee pursuant to the terms of a deposit agreement dated February 5, 2007 between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “ADS depositary”), as amended by Agreement No. 1 to Letter Agreement dated February 4, 2008), in each case, net of any applicable withholding taxes. The Excluded Shares other than Dissenting Shares will be automatically cancelled for no consideration. The Dissenting Shares will be cancelled for their appraised or other agreed value.

If the merger is completed, each option to purchase Shares (a “Company Option”) pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Stock Plan, as amended, and 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Company Option Plans”) that is then outstanding and unexercised, vested or unvested, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, net of any applicable withholding taxes and as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective time of the merger, cash in an amount equal to (A) the total number of Shares issuable upon exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to the effective time of the merger multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of (x) $2.20 over (y) the exercise price payable per Share issuable under such Company Option.

1


In addition, each Company RS and Company RSU that is then outstanding, vested or unvested, shall automatically become fully vested and be released from any restrictions on transfer as of the effective time of the merger. At the effective time of the merger, all of the Company RSs and Company RSUs, except for those that are included in the Consortium Shares, will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist, and the holders thereof will be entitled to receive from the surviving corporation, net of any applicable withholding taxes and as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective time of the merger, cash in an amount equal to the product of (A) the number of the Company RSs, or Shares or ADSs then subject to the Company RSUs, as the case may be, multiplied by (B) $2.20 or $15.40, as applicable. At the effective time of the merger, 1,413,881 Company RSs and Company RSUs that are included in the Consortium Shares will automatically be cancelled for nil consideration.

The merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including obtaining the requisite approval of the shareholders of the Company. The merger agreement must be approved by an affirmative vote of shareholders representing two-thirds or more of the Shares present and voting in person or by proxy as a single class at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company.

The Company will make available to its shareholders a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement,” a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)-(1) to this Transaction Statement), relating to the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company, at which the shareholders of the Company will consider and vote upon, among other proposals, a proposal to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger. As of the date hereof, the Proxy Statement is in preliminary form and is subject to completion.
