INTRODUCTION

This Amendment No. 5 to Rule 13E-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this “Schedule 13E-3” or “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) Sino Gas International Holdings, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Company”), the issuer of the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Company common stock”), that is subject to the transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, (b) Harmony Gas Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Holdco”), (c) Prosperity Gas Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Parent”), (d) Merger Sub Gas Holdings Inc., a Utah corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger Sub”), (e) Mr. Yuchuan Liu, the chairman and chief executive officer of the Company (“Chairman”), (f) Eloten Group Ltd., a British Virgin Islands exempted company and an entity controlled by Chairman (“Eloten”), (g) Zhongyu Gas Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Investor”), (h) Morgan Stanley Private Equity Asia IV, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, (i) Morgan Stanley Private Equity Asia IV, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, (j) Morgan Stanley Private Equity Asia IV Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Sponsor”), and (k) MSPEA Gas Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“MSPEA”).

This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 3, 2014, as amended on April 16, 2014 and June 2, 2014 (as so amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Prior to the effective time of the Merger, Parent and Merger Sub are beneficially owned by MSPEA. Following the effective time of the Merger, Holdco and Parent will be beneficially owned by Chairman, MSPEA and Investor. As of the date of this Transaction Statement, Chairman, through Eloten, beneficially owns 6,524,174 shares of Company common stock (the “Rollover Shares”), which Rollover Shares comprise approximately 11.3% of the outstanding shares of Company common stock.

If the Merger is completed, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of Company common stock, other than as provided below, will be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive $1.30 in cash (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. The following shares of Company common stock will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in connection with the Merger: (i) shares of Company common stock owned by the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries, which shares will be cancelled at the effective time of the Merger for no consideration, (ii) the Rollover Shares, which, pursuant to a contribution agreement entered into among Eloten, Holdco and Parent dated April 3, 2014, will be contributed to Parent in exchange for newly issued shares of Holdco immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger and will be then cancelled for no consideration at the effective time of the Merger, and (iii) shares of Company common stock owned by shareholders who have properly exercised and perfected dissenters’ rights under the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act, which shares will be cancelled at the effective time of the Merger and will entitle the former holders thereof to demand payment of fair value of his, her or its shares of Company common stock, as may be determined ultimately by a court.

The Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including obtaining the requisite approval of the Company’s shareholders. The Merger Agreement must be approved by shareholders of the Company holding at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Company common stock.

Concurrently with the filing of this Schedule 13E-3, the Company is filing an Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") to the definitive proxy statement dated as of July 3, 2014 (the definitive proxy statement as amended by the Amendment, the "Proxy Statement") under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, pursuant to which the Company's board of directors will be soliciting proxies from shareholders of the Company, relating to a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company at which shareholders will consider and vote upon, among other things, a proposal to approve the Merger Agreement.
