This statement on Schedule 13D/A (this “Statement”) amends the previous Schedule 13D filed by Orient Finance Holdings (Hong Kong) Limited and Orient Securities Company Limited with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 11, 2014 (the “Original 13D”) with respect to Shanda Games Limited (the “Issuer”). Except as amended and supplemented herein, the information set forth in the Original 13D remains unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have meanings assigned thereto in the Original 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

On January 27, 2014, Shanda Interactive Entertainment Limited (“Shanda Interactive”) and Primavera Capital (Cayman) Fund I L.P. (“Primavera”) (together with Shanda Interactive, the “Consortium” and each member in the Consortium, a “Consortium Member”) entered into a consortium agreement (the “Consortium Agreement”). Under the Consortium Agreement, the Consortium Members agreed, among other things, (i) to jointly deliver a preliminary non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) to acquire the Issuer in a going-private transaction (the “Transaction”), (ii) to deal exclusively with each other with respect to the Transaction until the earlier of (x) nine months after the date thereof, and (y) termination of the Consortium Agreement by all Consortium Members, (iii) to use their reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to arrange debt financing to support the Transaction, and (iv) to cooperate and proceed in good faith to negotiate and consummate the Transaction.

On January 27, 2014, Shanda SDG Investment Limited (“SDG”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shanda Interactive, and Primavera entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Primavera Share Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which SDG sold, and Primavera purchased, 28,959,276 Class A Ordinary Shares at US$2.7625 per Class A Ordinary Share.

On April 18, 2014, SDG and Perfect World Co., Ltd. (“Perfect World”) entered into a share purchase agreement (the “PW Share Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which SDG sold, and Perfect World purchased, 30,326,005 Class A Ordinary Shares at US$3.2975 per Class A Ordinary Share.

Concurrently with the execution of the PW Share Purchase Agreement, Shanda Interactive, Primavera and Perfect World entered into an adherence agreement (the “PW Adherence Agreement”), pursuant to which Perfect World became a party to the Consortium Agreement and joined the Consortium.

On August 31, 2014, SDG and Orient HK entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Orient Share Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which SDG agreed to sell, and Orient HK agreed to purchase, 123,552,669 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Orient Purchase Shares”) at US$3.45 per Class A Ordinary Share (the “Orient Purchase Price”) subject to the terms and conditions thereof. Pursuant to the Orient Share Purchase Agreement, if (i) a going-private transaction occurs within one year of the closing date of the sale of the Orient Purchase Shares where Orient HK is part of the buyer consortium and the going-private price is higher than the Orient Purchase Price, or (ii) a going-private transaction occurs within one year of the closing date of the sale of the Orient Purchase Shares where Orient HK is not part of the buyer consortium due to its own decision or election without SDG’s written consent and the going-private price is higher than the Orient Purchase Price, Orient shall pay SDG the difference between the Orient Purchase Price and the going-private price with respect to all the Orient Purchase Shares. Pursuant to the Orient Share Purchase Agreement, if a going-private transaction is not consummated within one year of the closing date of the sale of the Orient Purchase Shares solely due to SDG’s failure to vote in favor of such going-private transaction, SDG shall repurchase the Orient Purchase Shares at a per share price equal to the Orient Purchase Price. The purchase and sale of the Orient Purchase Shares was completed on September 23, 2014.

On September 1, 2014, Perfect World, FV Investment and Carlyle withdrew from the Consortium pursuant to a withdrawal notice (the “Withdrawal Notice”). References to “Consortium” or “Consortium Members” after September 1, 2014 shall not include Perfect World, FV Investment and Carlyle.

On September 1, 2014, SDG and Shanghai Buyout Fund L.P., a limited partnership formed under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Haitong”), entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Haitong Share Purchase Agreement I”) pursuant to which SDG agreed to sell, and Haitong agreed to purchase, 48,152,848 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Haitong Purchase Shares”) at US$3.45 per Class A Ordinary Share subject to the terms and conditions thereof. The purchase and sale of the Haitong Purchase Shares was completed on September 23, 2014.

The purchase and sale of the Haitong Secondary Purchase Shares was completed on September 23, 2014. In connection with the transaction, SDG, Primavera and Perfect World entered into a consent and release dated as of September 1, 2014 (the “Consent and Release”), pursuant to which all remaining obligations of Primavera and its affiliates and SDG and its affiliates under the Primavera Share Purchase Agreement, and all remaining obligations of Perfect World and its affiliates and SDG and its affiliates under the PW Share Purchase Agreement, as applicable, automatically terminated upon consummation of the transaction.

On September 1, 2014, Shanda Interactive, Primavera and Haitong entered into an adherence agreement (the “Haitong Adherence Agreement”), pursuant to which Haitong became a party to the Consortium Agreement and joined the Consortium. References to “Consortium” or “Consortium Members” after September 1, 2014 shall include Haitong.
