NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

 

To Be Held on November 6, 2015

 


 

On Friday, November 6, 2015, SINA Corporation, a Cayman Islands company (the “Company”), will hold its annual general meeting (“AGM”) of shareholders at 42nd Floor, Edinburgh Tower, The Landmark, 15 Queen’s Road, Central, Hong Kong. The meeting will begin at 2:00 p.m. local time.

 

Only shareholders registered in the Company’s register of members at the close of business on October 1, 2015 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to receive notice of and vote at the AGM or any adjourned or postponed meeting thereof. At the AGM, following resolutions will be considered, and if thought fit, passed as ordinary resolutions:

 

“RESOLVED,

 

·                  THAT Mr. Yan Wang shall be re-elected as a director of the Company at this annual general meeting and retain office until the Company’s 2018 annual general meeting;

·                  THAT Mr. Song-Yi Zhang shall be re-elected as a director of the Company at this annual general meeting and retain office until the Company’s 2018 annual general meeting;

·                  THAT the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP as independent auditors of the Company for the current fiscal year, which ends December 31, 2015, be and hereby is approved, confirmed and ratified; and

 

In addition, the meeting will transact any other business properly brought before the meeting.

 

Certain biographic information of Mr. Yan Wang and Mr. Song-Yi Zhang is set out in Appendix I hereto.

 

We cordially invite all shareholders to attend the AGM in person.  However, a shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and, on a poll, vote instead of him and that proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.  Whether or not you expect to attend the AGM in person, please mark, date, sign and return the enclosed proxy card as promptly as possible, and in any event, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the AGM, in the postage-prepaid envelope provided to ensure your representation and the presence of a quorum at the AGM.  The ordinary shares represented by all properly executed proxies returned to the Company will be voted at the AGM as indicated or, if no instruction is given, the holder of the proxy will vote the shares in his discretion, unless a reference to the holder of the proxy having such discretion has been deleted and initialed on this Form of Proxy.  Where the chairman of the AGM acts as proxy and is entitled to exercise his discretion, he is likely to vote the shares FOR the resolutions.  The Company does not presently know of any other business which may come before the AGM.  However, if any other matter properly comes before the AGM, or any adjourned or postponed meeting thereof, which may properly be acted upon, unless otherwise indicated the proxies solicited hereby will be voted on such matter in accordance with the discretion of the proxy holders named therein.  If you change your mind after you return your proxy card, you may revoke your proxy by voting in person at the AGM, or by submitting a notice of revocation of another proxy card with a later date up to 48 hours before the AGM or later at the discretion of the Chairman of the AGM.  If your shares are held in “street name” and you wish to attend the AGM, you must notify your broker, bank or other nominee and obtain the proper documentation to vote your shares at the AGM.

 

Shareholders may obtain a copy of the Company’s annual report, free of charge, from the Company’s website at http://corp.sina.com.cn/eng/sina_rela_2_eng.htm, or by contacting Sandra Zhang, Stock Administration Department, SINA Corporation, 20/F Beijing Ideal International Plaza, No. 58 North 4th Ring Road West, Haidian District, Beijing 100080, China, telephone +86-10-8262 8888.
