SE Sea Limited

This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 5”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 30, 2017 (as amended to date, the “Schedule 13D”) relating to the Class A ordinary shares, par value US$0.0005 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and American depositary shares, each representing one Class A Ordinary Share (“ADSs”), of Sea Limited, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of Cayman Islands (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows.

(a) - (b)

Items 7 through 11 and 13 of each of the cover page of the Schedule 13D for the Reporting Persons are incorporated herein by reference.

As of the date hereof:

Tencent Limited may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 98,510,410 Class A Ordinary Shares, or 19.4%, including 98,510,410 Class A Ordinary Shares convertible from the same amount of Class B Ordinary Shares, held by Tencent Limited.

Tencent Limited’s sole voting power represents 51,936,757 Class B Ordinary Shares, that are subject only to an Irrevocable Proxy (as defined below) with respect to limited matters relating to the size and/or composition of the Issuer’s board granted to the founder of the Issuer (each Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one Class A Ordinary Share at any time subject to certain restrictions agreed upon in the Irrevocable Proxy).

Tencent Limited’s shared voting power represents 46,573,653 Class B Ordinary Shares that are subject to an Irrevocable Proxy with respect to all matters that require shareholder vote (other than the size and/or composition of the Issuer’s board which is subject to a separate proxy discussed in this item below) granted to the founder of the Issuer.

Tencent Holdings is the parent company of Tencent Limited and may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held of record by Tencent Limited. Tencent Holdings’ beneficial ownership also includes 1,816,833 Class A Ordinary Shares held by Huang River Investment Limited (“Huang River”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tencent Holdings, and 3,937,500 Class A Ordinary Shares convertible from the same amount of Class B Ordinary Shares held by Tencent Growthfund, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tencent Holdings.

Tencent Holdings may be deemed to have beneficial ownership on an aggregate of 104,264,743 Class A Ordinary Shares, or 20.4%, including 1,816,833 Class A Ordinary Shares and 102,447,910 Class A Ordinary Shares convertible from the same amount of Class B Ordinary Shares.

Tencent Holdings’ sole voting power includes (i) an aggregate of 55,874,257 Class B Ordinary Shares, including 51,936,757 Class B Ordinary Shares held by Tencent Limited and 3,937,500 Class B Ordinary Shares held by Tencent Growthfund, that are subject only to an Irrevocable Proxy with respect to limited matters relating to the size and/or composition of the board of directors of the Issuer granted to the founder of the Issuer (each Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one Class A Ordinary Share at any time subject to certain restrictions agreed upon in the Irrevocable Proxy) and (ii) 1,816,833 Class A Ordinary Shares held by Huang River.

Tencent Holdings’ shared voting power represents 46,573,653 Class B Ordinary Shares held by Tencent Limited, that are subject to an Irrevocable Proxy with respect to all matters that require shareholder vote (other than the size and/or composition of the Issuer’s board which is subject to a separate proxy discussed in the preceding paragraph above) granted to the founder of the Issuer.

Unless otherwise indicated, the percentages are based on 409,762,257 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Issuer as of December 31, 2021 calculated based on the outstanding ordinary shares of the Issuer as disclosed in the Issuer’s latest public filings made with the SEC.

Each Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one Class A Ordinary Share at any time by the holder thereof, subject to certain restrictions agreed upon in the Irrevocable Proxy between the founder of the Issuer and Tencent Holdings. Class A Ordinary Shares are not convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares at any circumstances. Each Class A Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote and each Class B Ordinary Share is entitled to three votes, voting together as a single class on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Issuer.

After taking into account the Irrevocable Proxy granted by Tencent Holdings and its affiliates, the voting power held by Tencent Holdings represents approximately 19.9% of the aggregate voting power of the Issuer’s total issued and outstanding shares voting together as a single class with respect to all matters that require shareholder vote, except with respect to the size and/or composition of the Issuer’s board for which Tencent Holdings’ voting power is lower as a result of the separate proxy discussed in this Item 5.

The Irrevocable Proxy

Under an irrevocable proxy dated as of September 1, 2017 (the “Irrevocable Proxy”), the Reporting Parties and their affiliate have granted the founder of the Issuer, Forrest Xiaodong Li (the “founder”), the following irrevocable proxies:

Due to the Irrevocable Proxy, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share voting power with the founder, Forrest Xiaodong Li, with respect to the 46,573,653 Class B Ordinary Shares that are subject to an irrevocable proxy with respect to all other matters that require shareholder vote. However, neither the filing of the Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any Reporting Person (other than Tencent Limited for its directly held shares) that it is the beneficial owner of any Class A or B Ordinary Shares for any purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

On January 3, 2022, the Tencent Parties delivered an irrevocable notice to the Issuer regarding the conversion by the Tencent Parties of all of their Class B Ordinary Shares to Class A Ordinary Shares, which is conditional upon the Existing Articles to be amended and restated by the New Articles and the Substitution to be approved by a special resolution of the shareholders at the AGM. On January 3, 2022, Tencent Limited and Tencent Growthfund as holders of Class B Ordinary Shares delivered to the Issuer their consent to the Substitution. The Tencent group also intends to vote in favor of the proposal for the Substitution at the AGM. On January 3, 2022, Mr. Forrest Xiaodong Li, the founder of the Issuer on the one hand, and the Tencent Parties on the other hand as the parties to Irrevocable Proxy entered into the Proxy Termination Agreement to terminate the Irrevocable Proxy with the founder subject to and immediately after the Class B Conversion.

Due to and upon the effectiveness of the Class B Conversion and the Proxy Termination Agreement, Tencent Limited and Tencent Growthfund will hold only Class A Ordinary Shares and will have sole voting power and disposition power over the Class A Ordinary Shares they each hold respectively; and Tencent Holdings will beneficially own and have sole voting power and disposition power over all the Class A Ordinary Shares held by Tencent Limited, Tencent Growthfund and Huang River.

Except as set forth in this Item 5(a) and (b), to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the Related Persons, other than Chenye Xu (“Mr. Xu”), chief information officer of Tencent Holdings, beneficially owns any Class A Ordinary Shares. As of the date hereof, Mr. Xu beneficially owned 478,974 Class A Ordinary Shares.

(c) On January 4, 2022, Huang River entered into a transaction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 and sold 14,492,751 ADSs at a price of US$207.00 per ADS. Each Class A Ordinary Share is represented by one ADS. In connection with the transaction, Tencent Holding has agreed not to sell the remaining Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by it in the next six months. On January 4, 2022, Tencent Limited also transferred an aggregate of 11,696,251 Class A Ordinary Shares, including 4,200,000 Class A Ordinary Shares which were converted from Class B Ordinary Shares, to Huang River in an intragroup transfer.

Except as described in Item 4 and this Item 5(c), during the past 60 days, none of the Reporting Persons or to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, the Related Persons has effected any transactions in the Class A Ordinary Shares.

(d) Except as set forth in the Schedule 13D, no other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Class A Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

(e) Not applicable.
