TABLE OF CONTENTS
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 Companys 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.
