SCHEDULE 13D/A
This Amendment No. 2 (this Amendment) to the Schedule 13D filed on June 28, 2013, as subsequently amended on July 18, 2013 (together, the Schedule 13D) is being filed on behalf of Teng Yue Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (Teng Yue), Teng Yue Partners Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Teng Yue Holdings), and Mr. Tao Li, the principal of Teng Yue and Teng Yue Holdings, relating to Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the Ordinary Shares), of iSoftStone Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the Issuer).
This Amendment relates to Ordinary Shares of the Issuer purchased by Teng Yue through the accounts of certain private funds (collectively, the Teng Yue Accounts). Teng Yue serves as the investment manager of the Teng Yue Accounts and may direct the vote and dispose of the 39,594,980 Ordinary Shares held by the Teng Yue Accounts. Teng Yue Holdings serves as the general partner of Teng Yue and, in its capacity as such, may direct Teng Yue to direct the vote and disposition of the 39,594,980 Ordinary Shares held by the Teng Yue Accounts. As the principal of Teng Yue and Teng Yue Holdings, Mr. Li may direct the vote and disposition of the 39,594,980 Ordinary Shares held by the Teng Yue Accounts.
The Ordinary Shares reported in this Amendment are held by the Teng Yue Accounts through direct ownership of Ordinary Shares, as well as through American Depositary Shares, evidenced by American Depositary Receipts that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Item 2(b) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
Item 2. | Identity and Background |

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds |
As of December 2, 2013, the Teng Yue Accounts had invested approximately $19,781,563 (inclusive of brokerage commissions) in the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. The source of these funds was the working capital of the Teng Yue Accounts. The Ordinary Shares are held in a margin account; however, no leverage was used for the purchase of the Ordinary Shares.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:
Item 4. | Purpose of the Transaction |
In addition, on November 20, 2013, the Reporting Persons sent a letter to the Independent Committee of the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the Independent Committee) urging the Independent Committee to reject the offer by a consortium of investors to purchase all of the outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer (the Offer) and describing the Offer as wholly unacceptable. It is the Reporting Persons position to reject the Offer at the current offer price of $5.45 or at the previously proposed offer price of $5.85 in cash per American depositary share. The letter to the Independent Committee is attached to this Amendment as Exhibit 99.2. In connection with the letter, the Reporting Persons also engaged in, or intend to engage in, formal discussions with members of the board of directors of the Issuer, including members of the Independent Committee, management of the Issuer, other stockholders and financial advisors to the Issuer, the Independent Committee or others regarding the Offer. The Reporting Persons may also pursue legal actions to oppose the Offer.

iSoftStone Holdings Limited
East Bldg. 16, Courtyard #10
Xibeiwang East Road, Haidian District
Beijing 100193
Peoples Republic of China
Attention: Independent Committee of the Board of Directors
RE: Offer to Purchase Shares of iSoftStone Holdings Limited (the Company)
Dear Members of the Independent Committee:
As you are aware, Teng Yue Partners, LP (Teng Yue Partners) together with its affiliates beneficially owns approximately 39,594,980 ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the Shares) representing approximately 7.0% of the Companys total ordinary shares outstanding. We have reviewed the revised offer (the Offer) sent to the Company on November 2, 2013 from the Consortium (as defined therein) to purchase all of the Shares for US$0.545 per ordinary share (or $US5.45 per ADR) (the Offer Price).
Please be advised that we find the Offer Price wholly unacceptable, and, at such price, we are unwilling to sell our Shares and participate in the Offer. We find it hard to believe that an independent investment bank would be able to provide an opinion to the Independent Committee that the Offer Price is fair to shareholders.
We would like to discuss, as soon as possible, terms on which we would be willing to sell our Shares and hope that the Independent Committee can negotiate an Offer Price that is fair to all shareholders and not just those shareholders and directors who are members of the Consortium. Please let us know when you are available for such a discussion.
Sincerely, | ||
TENG YUE PARTNERS, LP | ||
