These shares may be represented by the Registrant's ADSs, each of which represents five Class
A common shares. The Registrant's ADSs issuable upon deposit of the Class A common shares
registered hereby have been registered under a separate registration statement on Form F-6
(333-170795).
(2)
Represents Class A common shares issuable upon exercise of options granted under the 2004
share incentive plan and 2010 share incentive plan (the "Plans"). Pursuant to Rule 416(a)
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act") this Registration
Statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional shares which may be offered and
issued to prevent dilution from share splits, share dividends or similar transactions as
provided in the Plans.
(3)
The amount to be registered represents Class A common shares issuable upon exercise of
outstanding options granted under the Plans and the corresponding proposed maximum offering
price per share represents the weighted average exercise price of $0.603 per share of such
outstanding options.
(4)
These shares are reserved for future award grants under the Plans, and the proposed maximum
offering price per share, which is estimated solely for the purposes of calculating the
registration fee under Rule 457(h) and Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act, is based on the
average of the high and low prices for the registrant's ADSs as quoted on the New York Stock
Exchange on January 3, 2011.
(5)
Any Class A common shares covered by an award granted under the Plans (or portion of an
award) that terminates, expires or lapses for any reason will be deemed not to have been
issued for purposes of determining the maximum aggregate number of Class A common shares that
may be issued under the Plans.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The following documents previously filed by E-Commerce China Dangdang Inc. (the "Registrant")
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") are incorporated by reference
herein:
(a)
The Registrant's prospectus dated December 7, 2010 filed with the Commission on
December 8, 2010 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act; and
(b)
The description of the Registrant's Class A common shares incorporated by reference in
the Registrant's registration statement on Form 8-A (File No. 001-34982) filed with the
Commission on November 23, 2010, including any amendment and report subsequently filed for
the purpose of updating that description.
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), after the date of this
registration statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all
securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
registration statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any
statement in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration
statement will be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement contained in
this registration statement or in any other later filed document that also is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or
superseded will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to be a part of this
registration statement.
Item 4.
Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's articles of association may
provide for indemnification of directors and officers, except to the extent any such provision may
be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide
indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Registrant's
sixth amended and restated articles of association, adopted by its shareholders on November 15,
2010, provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers against actions,
2
Table of Contents
proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such persons
in their capacity as such, except through their own willful neglect or default.
Pursuant to the indemnification agreements, the form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the
Registrant's registration statement on Form F-1, as amended, (File No. 333-170663) the Registrant
has agreed to indemnify its directors and officers against certain liabilities and expenses
incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or
officer.
The Underwriting Agreement, the form of which was filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registrant's
registration statement on Form F-1, as amended, (File No. 333-170663) also provides for
indemnification of the Registrant and its directors and officers for certain liabilities, including
liabilities arising under the Securities Act, but only to the extent that such liabilities are
caused by information furnished to the Registrant by the underwriters in writing specifically for
use in such registration statement and certain other disclosure documents.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
The Registrant also maintains a directors and officers liability insurance policy for its
directors and officers.
Item 7.
Exemption From Registration Claimed
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits
See the Index to Exhibits attached hereto.
Item 9.
Undertakings
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in this registration statement; and
(iii)
to include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material
change to that information in the registration statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement;
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3
Table of Contents
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that
is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
