DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-180962) filed by eLong, Inc., a Cayman Islands company (the “Registrant”), on April 26, 2012 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933. The Registration Statement registered 6,000,000 ordinary shares of the Registrant for issuance under the Registrant’s 2009 Share and Annual Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time.

 

On May 31, 2016, the Registrant completed the merger contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 4, 2016 (as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated as of April 1, 2016, the “Merger Agreement”), among the Registrant; China E-dragon Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands company (“Parent”); and China E-dragon Mergersub Limited, a Cayman Islands company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Registrant (the “Merger”), with the Registrant surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

 

As a result of the Merger, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to remove from registration all securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date hereof.
