INTRODUCTORY NOTE.

The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 30, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed by the undersigned with the SEC on February 16, 2017 (the “Amended Schedule 13D”) relating to the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of China XD Plastics Company Limited, a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”). This Amendment amends, and, with respect to certain information set forth herein, supersedes the Amended Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise stated herein, the Amended Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect. Terms used therein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Amended Schedule 13D.

Item 2.

Identity and Background

The response set forth in Item 2 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the following.

Pursuant to a Written Notice delivered by the Issuer to MSPEA on September 30, 2019, the 16,000,000 Series D Preferred Stock then held by MSPEA were mandatorily converted into 16,000,000 shares of Common Stock on September 30, 2019 (the “Mandatory Conversion”).

The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each director and executive officer of MS Parent, MS Holdings, MS Inc, MSPEA Holdings and MSPEA, and the name, business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each executive officer of MS LLC, NH LP and MS Employee are set forth in Schedule A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedule A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, has been (1) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (2) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws, other than, in the case of clause (2), as described in Schedule B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The response set forth in Item 3 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof.

The responses set forth in Item 2 of this Amendment are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

The funds for Additional Shares purchased after the date of the Amended Schedule 13D which are held in client accounts with respect to which MS Parent or a subsidiary of MS Parent or their employees have investment or voting discretion came from client funds.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

The response set forth in Item 4 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows.

The Reporting Persons originally acquired the Preferred Shares for investment purposes. MS Reporting Units (as defined in Item 5) acquired the Additional Shares for investment purposes.

On February 16, 2017, MSPEA entered into a consortium agreement (the “Consortium Agreement”) with Jie Han (“Mr. Han”) and XD Engineering Plastics Company Limited (“XD. Engineering” and, together with Mr. Han and MPSEA, the “Consortium”), pursuant to which the Consortium agreed to cooperate in good faith to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of the Issuer other than those shares (the “Consortium Shares”) beneficially owned by the members of the Consortium or their affiliates, through a going-private transaction (the “Transaction”).

On February 16, 2017, the Consortium submitted a preliminary, non-binding letter (the “Initial Letter”) to the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”). In the Initial Letter, the Consortium outlined its proposal (“Proposal”) for the Transaction. Under the Proposal, members of the Consortium proposed to acquire, through an acquisition vehicle to be formed by them, all of the outstanding capital stock of the Issuer (other than the Consortium Shares which will be rolled over in connection with the Transaction) for US$5.21 per share in cash. The Proposal also provides that, among other things, the Consortium intended to (a) conduct customary legal, financial and accounting due diligence on the Issuer and (b) negotiate and execute definitive agreements with respect to the Transaction. In the Proposal, members of the Consortium also stated that they expected that the Board would evaluate the Proposal independently before it could make its determination whether to endorse it.

Pursuant to its terms, the Consortium Agreement terminated on the date six months after the date thereof. However, the members of the Consortium treated the Proposal as remaining outstanding.

As a result of the Mandatory Conversion (by reason of the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock), the term of office of MPSEA’s two designees on the Board, Homer Sun and Ryan Law, was automatically terminated on September 30, 2019. On October 14, 2019, MSPEA sent a letter (the "Proposal Withdrawal Letter") to the Board informing the Board that it no longer intended to participate in the Consortium and no longer intended to participate in the Transaction. Concurrently with sending the Proposal Withdrawal Letter, MSPEA sent a letter (the "Consortium Withdrawal Letter") to the other members of the Consortium informing them that it no longer intended to participate in the Consortium and no longer intended to participate in the Transaction.

References to the Consortium Agreement and the Initial Letter in this Amendment are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Consortium Agreement and the Initial Letter themselves, which were attached to the Amended Schedule 13D as Exhibit 99.8 and Exhibit 99.9, respectively, and are incorporated by reference as if set forth in their entirety. References to the Proposal Withdrawal Letter and the Consortium Withdrawal Letter are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Proposal Withdrawal Letter and Consortium Withdrawal Letter themselves, which are attached to this Amendment as Exhibit 99.10 and Exhibit 99.11 and are incorporated by reference as if set forth in their entirety.

The Reporting Persons reserve their right to change their plans and intentions in connection with any of the actions discussed in this Item 4. Any action taken by the Reporting Persons may be effected at any time or from time to time, subject to any applicable limitations imposed thereon by any applicable laws.

CUSIP No. 63945X103

SC 13D

Page 13

Depending on various factors, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, and, as a consequence, may, from time to time, dispose of some or all of their Common Stock, engage in short−selling or hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock, and/or continue to hold Common Stock.

Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal that would relate to or would result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The response set forth in Item 5 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows.

The following disclosure assumes that there are 66,948,841 shares of Common Stock as of September 30, 2019, being the sum total of 16,000,000 shares of Common Stock into which MSPEA's Preferred Shares were converted plus 50,948,841 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 7, 2019, as set forth in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2019, and all calculations of beneficial ownership are made using this total.

MS Reporting Units hold 2,100 Additional Shares, or 0.003% of the outstanding Common Stock. Neither the filing of this Amendment nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by MS Reporting Units that they are the beneficial owners of any Common Stock held in any client accounts for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

By virtue of relationships reported in Item 2, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to 16,000,000 shares of Common Stock owned by MSPEA, which, based on calculations made in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, constitutes approximately 23.89% of the outstanding Common Stock. Taken together, the Additional Shares and the shares of Common Stock held by MSPEA constitute approximately 23.90% of the outstanding Common Stock. Neither the filing of this Amendment nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any Reporting Person that it is the beneficial owner of any Additional Shares for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The response set forth in Item 6 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety.

The responses set forth in Item 4 of this Amendment are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Consortium Agreement. Pursuant to its terms, the Consortium Agreement terminated on the date six months after the date thereof. However, the members of the Consortium treated the Proposal as remaining outstanding. MSPEA no longer intends to participate in the Consortium and no longer intends to participate in the Transaction.
