CLASS ACTION

SUMMARY NOTICE OF PROPOSED
SETTLEMENT OF CLASS ACTION

X

TO:

ALL PERSONS WHO PURCHASED OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED SEA LIMITED (“SEA LTD.” OR THE “COMPANY”) AMERICAN DEPOSITORY SHARES (“ADS”) PURSUANT OR TRACEABLE TO THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS ISSUED IN CONNECTION WITH SEA LTD.’S OCTOBER 2017 INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING (“IPO” OR “OCTOBER 2017 IPO”)

THIS NOTICE WAS AUTHORIZED BY THE COURT. IT IS NOT A LAWYER SOLICITATION. PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY.

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that a hearing will be held on April 1, 2021, at 11:30 a.m., before the Honorable Jennifer G. Schecter, J.S.C., Supreme Court of New York, County of New York: Commercial Division, 60 Centre Street, New York, NY 10007, to determine whether: (1) the proposed settlement (the “Settlement”) of the above-captioned action as set forth in the Stipulation of Settlement (“Stipulation”)1 for $10,750,000 in cash should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable and adequate; (2) the Judgment as provided under the Stipulation should be entered; (3) to award Plaintiff’s Counsel attorneys’ fees and expenses out of the Settlement Fund (as defined in the Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Class Action (“Notice”), which is discussed below), and, if so, in what amount; (4) to award Plaintiff for representing the Settlement Class out of the Settlement Fund and, if so, in what amount; and (5) the Plan of Allocation should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable and adequate.2

This Action is a securities class action brought on behalf of those persons who purchased or acquired Sea Ltd. ADS pursuant or traceable to the Registration Statement and Prospectus for Sea Ltd.’s IPO, against Sea Ltd. and others (collectively, “Defendants”) for, among other things, allegedly misstating and omitting material facts from the Registration Statement and Prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the IPO. Plaintiff alleges that these purportedly false and misleading statements inflated the price of the Company’s stock, resulting in damage to Settlement Class Members when the truth was revealed. Defendants deny all of Plaintiff’s allegations.

IF YOU PURCHASED OR ACQUIRED SEA LTD. ADS PURSUANT OR TRACEABLE TO THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS ISSUED IN CONNECTION WITH SEA LTD.’S OCTOBER 2017 IPO, YOUR RIGHTS MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE SETTLEMENT OF THIS ACTION.

To share in the distribution of the Settlement Fund, you must establish your rights by submitting a Proof of Claim and Release form (“Proof of Claim”) by mail (postmarked no later than March 29, 2021) or electronically (no later than March 29, 2021). Your failure to submit your Proof of Claim by March 29, 2021, will subject your claim to rejection and preclude your receiving any of the recovery in connection with the Settlement of this Action. If you are a member of the Settlement Class and do not request exclusion therefrom, you will be bound by the Settlement and any judgment and release entered in the Action, including, but not limited to, the Judgment, whether or not you submit a Proof of Claim.

If you have not received a copy of the Notice, which more completely describes the Settlement and your rights thereunder (including your right to object to the Settlement), and a Proof of Claim, you may obtain these documents, as well as a copy of the Stipulation (which, among other things, contains definitions for the defined terms used in this Summary Notice) and other settlement documents, online at www.SeaLimitedSecuritiesSettlement.com, or by writing to:
