INTRODUCTION

This Amendment No. 5 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) China Nuokang Bio-Pharmaceutical Inc., a Cayman Islands company (the “Company”), the issuer of the registered ordinary shares, par value $0.0005 per share (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”), including the Shares represented by the American depositary shares (“ADSs”), each representing eight Shares, that is subject to the transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act; (b) Kingbird Investment Inc., a Cayman Islands company (“Parent”); (c) Kingbird Mergerco. Inc., a Cayman Islands company (“Merger Sub”); (d) Mr. Baizhong Xue, chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of the Company (“Mr. Xue”); (e) Ms. Yuhuan Zhu, the wife of Mr. Xue (“Ms. Zhu”); (f) Anglo China Bio-technology Investment Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Anglo China”); and (g) Britain Ukan Technology Investment Holdings (Group) Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Britain Ukan”).

On September 27, 2012, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, and, solely for the purposes of Section 6.16 thereof, Anglo China and Britain Ukan, 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”), in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law (2011 Revision) of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Companies Law”), with the Company continuing as the surviving company after the merger. Parent and Merger Sub are beneficially owned by Ms. Zhu.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each issued and outstanding Share will be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive $0.725, and each ADS, each representing eight Shares, will represent the right to surrender the ADS in exchange for $5.80 (less $0.05 per ADS cancellation fees pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement, dated as of December 9, 2009, by and among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and all holders and beneficial owners of ADSs issued thereunder (the “Deposit Agreement”)), in each case, in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, excluding (a) Shares and ADSs owned by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company (as treasury shares, if any), or by any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, in each case immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, which will be cancelled, cease to exist and receive no consideration, (b) Shares and ADSs beneficially owned by Anglo China and Britain Ukan prior to the effective time of the merger (the “Founder Shares”), which will survive the merger and receive no consideration, and (c) Shares owned by shareholders who have validly exercised and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the merger under the Cayman Companies Law (the “Dissenting Shares”), which will be cancelled and cease to exist, and the holders thereof will be entitled only to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law.

In addition, each restricted share issued pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Share Incentive Plan and the Company’s 2008 Share Incentive Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, whether vested or unvested, shall become fully vested immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, and each such restricted share shall be treated as a Share for all purposes under the merger agreement and shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $0.725 in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes.

The merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including obtaining the requisite approval and authorization of the shareholders of the Company. The merger agreement and the plan of merger attached as Exhibit A to the merger agreement (the “Cayman Plan of Merger”) must be approved and authorized by an affirmative vote of shareholders holding at least two-thirds 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 and authorize the merger agreement and the Cayman Plan of Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the merger).

On January 15, 2013, the Company adjourned its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders that was called to authorize and approve the proposed merger. The board of directors of the Company has determined that it is in the best interests of its shareholders to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting because Parent has advised the Company that it requires additional time to obtain its contemplated debt financing for the proposed merger. Apart from the motion to adjourn, no other business was conducted at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on January 15, 2013. The resolutions set out in the notice of the extraordinary general meeting dated December 17, 2012 will be considered and voted on at such time as the adjourned extraordinary general meeting is resumed. The Company intends to resume the adjourned extraordinary general meeting of shareholders as soon as practicable following confirmation from Parent that the debt financing will be available at the closing of the transaction, and Parent has further advised the Company that it expects this will not be later than March 21, 2013. The Company will give notice to shareholders of the date on which the adjourned extraordinary general meeting will be resumed as soon as a date is selected, and in any event not less than seven calendar days prior to such resumed meeting.

The cross-references below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and show the location in the Proxy Statement of the information required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3. Pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3, the information contained in the Proxy Statement, including all annexes thereto, is incorporated in its entirety herein by this reference, and the responses to each item in this Schedule 13E-3 are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the Proxy Statement and the annexes thereto.
