This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 3, 2017, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on March 14, 2019 and Amendment No. 2 filed on March 15, 2020 (the “Original Schedule 13D”, and together with this Amendment No. 3, this “Schedule 13D”), and is being filed on behalf of Mr. Li and Blue Dolphins in respect of the Class A ordinary shares, par value US$0.0005 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and Class B ordinary shares, par value US$0.0005 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares” and, together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Shares”), of Sea Limited, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Issuer”).

 

Unless otherwise stated herein, the Original Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 3 but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.

The second paragraph of Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Mr. Li acquired the Class A ordinary shares over which he has sole dispositive power through the exercise of options or vesting of restricted share units granted under the 2009 share incentive plan of the Issuer. The option exercise price was financed by the personal funds of Mr. Li. The other Shares covered by this Schedule 13D are deemed beneficially owned by Mr. Li due to irrevocable voting proxies granted by various shareholders to Mr. Li.
