DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Post-Effective
Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-171527)
(the “Registration Statement”), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by E-Commerce China
Dangdang Inc., a company established under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Registrant”), and became effective
on January 4, 2011. Under the Registration Statement, an aggregate of 43,185,870 Class A common shares, par value $0.0001 per share,
of the Registrant, were registered for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Registrant’s 2004 Share Incentive Plan
and 2010 Share Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Plans”).
This Post-Effective
Amendment is being filed for the sole purpose of deregistering any unissued shares previously registered under the Registration
Statement and issuable under the Plans.
On May 28, 2016, the Registrant, Dangdang
Holding Company Limited (“Parent”) and Dangdang Merger Company Limited (“Merger Sub”) entered into an agreement
and plan of merger, which was approved on September 12, 2016 by the shareholders of the Registrant at an extraordinary general
meeting of shareholders. The Registrant and Merger Sub subsequently filed a plan of merger with the Registrar of Companies of the
Cayman Islands on September 20, 2016, which became effective as of September 20, 2016 (the “Effective Time”), as a
result of which Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant continuing as the surviving company and becoming
a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).
As a result of the Merger, the Registrant
has terminated all the offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Registrant hereby removes from registration,
by means of this Post-Effective Amendment, any and all of the securities registered under the Registration Statement which remain
unsold or unissued as of the Effective Time.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement to be signed on its
behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the People’s Republic of China on September 20, 2016.
