PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THEfor the
2002 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS2003 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
December 16, 2002September 26, 2003

      Our Board of Directors is soliciting proxies for the 20022003 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. This Proxy Statement contains important information for you to consider when deciding how to vote on the matters brought before the meeting. Please read it carefully.

     The Board set October 21, 2002August 19, 2003 as the record date for the meeting. Shareholders of record who owned our ordinary sharesare registered in the register of members on that date are entitled to vote at and attend the meeting, with each share entitled to one vote. 45,927,452 shares of47,820,950 ordinary shares were outstanding on the record date.

     Voting materials, which include this Proxy Statement, a proxy card and the 20022003 Annual Report, on Form 10-K, will be mailed to shareholders on or about October 23, 2002August 29, 2003.

     In this Proxy Statement:

 • “We,” “us,” “our,” “SINA” and the “Company” refer to SINA.com
SINA Corporation
 
 • “Annual General Meeting” or “Meeting” means our 20022003 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
 
 • “Board of Directors” or “Board” means our Board of Directors
 
 • “SEC” means the Securities and Exchange Commission

     On November 4, 2002 our Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year (the“Fiscal Year Change”). The date of our fiscal year end is now December 31 of each year. Previously, our fiscal year end was June 30. Our last full fiscal year on the previous cycle was from July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2002 (“Fiscal 2002”). The change in our fiscal year cycle resulted in a six-month transition period from July 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002 (“Transition 2002”). Our first full fiscal year following Transition 2002 will be from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003 (“Fiscal 2003”). As a result the Fiscal Year Change we have filed a transition report for Transition 2002 on Form 10-K, as amended. In order to make the disclosure provided in this Proxy Statement more meaningful, we have generally provided information for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2002 (“Calendar 2002”). Due to the Fiscal Year Change, this period is technically not our most recently completed fiscal year, nor is it identical to Transition 2002. Nonetheless, we feel providing information for this twelve-month period will allow for more meaningful comparison to our disclosure in prior years. Information for Fiscal 2002 was provided in the Proxy Statement for the 2002 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders which was held on December 16, 2002 (the“2002 Proxy Statement”). You can obtain a copy of the 2002 Proxy Statement by contacting our Investor Relations Department at +86-21-62895678 extension 6089, or visiting our corporate web site atwww.corp.sina.com. You may also obtain a copy by contacting the SEC at (800) 732-0330 for the location of the nearest public reference room, or through the EDGAR system atwww.sec.gov.

     We will pass out written ballots to anyone who wants to vote at the meeting.Meeting. If you hold your shares in street name, you must request a legal proxy from your stockbroker in order to vote at the meeting.Meeting. Holding shares in “street name” means your shares in the capital of the Company are held in an account by your stockbroker, bank, or other nominee, and the share certificates and record ownership are not in your name. If your shares are held in “street name” and you wish to attend the Annual General Meeting, you must notify your broker, bank or other nominee and obtain the proper documentation to vote your shares at the Annual General Meeting.

• submitting a notice of revocation,
 • signing another proxy with a later date, or
 
 • voting in person at the Annual General Meeting.

Multiple Proxy Cards

     If you received more than one proxy card, it means that you hold shares in more than one account. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all your shares are voted.

Quorum Requirement

     Shares are counted as present at the meetingMeeting if the shareholder either:

 • is present and votes in person at the meeting, or
 
 • has properly submitted a proxy card.

One-third of our outstanding shares as of the record date must be present at the meetingMeeting (either in person or by proxy) in order to hold the Annual General Meeting and conduct business. This is called a “quorum.”

Consequences of Not Returning Your Proxy; Broker Non-Votes

     If your shares are held in your name, you must return your proxy (or attend the Annual General Meeting in person) in order to vote on the proposals. If your shares are held in street name and you do not vote your proxy, your brokerage firm, if it is a registered broker with the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), may either:

 • vote your shares on routine matters, or
 
 • leave your shares unvoted.

     Under the NYSE rules that govern NYSE-registered brokers who have record ownership of shares that are held in “street name” for their clients, brokers may vote such shares on behalf of their clients with respect to “routine” matters (such as the election of directors or the ratification of auditors), but not with respect to non-routine matters (such as a proposal submitted by a shareholder). If the proposals to be acted upon at any meeting include both routine and non-routine matters, the broker may turn in a proxy card for uninstructed shares that vote FOR the routine matters, but expressly states that the broker is not voting on non-routine matters. This is called a “broker non-vote.”

     Broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but will not be counted for the purpose of determining the number of votes cast.

     We encourage you to provide instructions to your brokerage firm by voting your proxy. This ensures that your shares will be voted at the meeting.Meeting.

Effect of Abstentions

     Abstentions are counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, andbut are not counted as votes AGAINST for purposes of determining the approval ofor against any matter submitted to the shareholdersshareholder for a vote.

Required Vote

     Assuming a quorum is present, the election of each of the threetwo nominees as directors, the Repurchase Amendmentincrease in share capital and the ratification of the independent accountants will require the affirmative vote of a majority of shares presentvoting either in person or representedcast by proxy at the Meeting. The Name Change Amendment will require the affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

Vote Solicitation; No Use of Outside Solicitors

     SINA.comSINA Corporation is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares at the Annual General Meeting. In addition to this solicitation by mail, our directors, officers, and other employees may contact you by telephone, Internet, in person or otherwise to obtain your proxy. These persons will not receive any additional compensation for assisting in the solicitation. We will also request brokerage firms, nominees, custodians and fiduciaries to forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners. We will reimburse these entities and our transfer agent for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in forwarding proxy material. We have not retained the services of a proxy solicitor.

Voting ProceduresVote Tabulation

     Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual General Meeting will be counted by the Inspector of Elections with the assistance of our transfer agent. The Inspector of Elections will also determine whether a quorum is present at the Annual General Meeting.

3


The shares represented by the proxy cards received, properly marked, dated, signed and not revoked, will be voted at the Annual General Meeting. If the proxy card specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted on, the shares will be voted in accordance with that specified choice. Any proxy card which names Charles Chao and Edward Wu as your representatives and is returned but not marked will be voted FOR each of the director nominees, FOR each of the other proposals discussed in this Proxy Statement, and as the proxy holders deem desirable for any other matters that may come before the Meeting. Broker non-votes will not be considered as voting with respect to any matter for which the broker does not have voting authority.

     We believe that the procedures to be used by the Inspector to count the votes are consistent with Cayman Islands law concerning voting of shares and determination of a quorum.

Publication of Voting Results

     We will announce preliminary voting results at the meeting.Meeting. We will publish the final results in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending December 31, 2002,September 30, 2003, which we will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the“SEC”).

PROPOSAL NO. 2

ORDINARY RESOLUTION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF

AUTHORIZED ORDINARY SHARES FROM 75,000,000 TO 150,000,000

Our current Articles of Association provide that the Share Capital of the Company is US$13,725,000 divided into 75,000,000 ordinary shares of US$0.133 each and 3,750,000 preference shares of US$1.00 each. The Board has unanimously proposed that the Share Capital of the Company be increased to US$23,700,000 divided into 150,000,000 ordinary shares of US$0.133 each and 3,750,000 preference shares of US$1.00 each. The shareholders are being asked to approve the following Ordinary Resolution in accordance with Cayman Islands law:

THAT the share capital of the Company be increased by US$9,975,000 to US$23,700,000 by creation of an additional 75,000,000 ordinary shares of US$0.133 each such that thereafter the share capital of the Company shall be divided into 150,000,000 ordinary shares of par value US$0.133 each and 3,750,000 preference shares of par value US$1.00 each.

The purpose of the proposed amendment is to authorize additional Ordinary Shares of the Company, thereby granting the Board the authority to issue additional Ordinary Shares in connection with our acquisition of assets, technologies and businesses that are complementary to our existing business to allow us to take advantage of market opportunities or otherwise respond to competitive pressures, in connection with the raising of additional funds to finance the activities of the Company, or otherwise. The Company has no such plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, at this time.

The proposed amendment may have the effect of impeding or frustrating persons seeking to effect a merger or to otherwise gain control of the Company even if such action would be favorable to the interests of the shareholders of the Company, if the newly authorized Ordinary Shares were issued to parties who might vote against such action. The Company does not intend to use the Shares in such a manner, nor would the Company engage in such use, unless its Board of Directors, in its business judgement, deemed such use to be in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s shareholders. The proposed amendment is not being made for such purpose and is not the result of the Company’s knowledge of any specific effort by someone to accumulate the Company’s securities or to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation in opposition to management or otherwise. In addition, at this time the Company does not have any plans to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements that may have material anti-takeover consequences.

Required Vote

Assuming a quorum is present, the approval of Proposal No. 2 will require the affirmative vote of a majority of shares cast in person or cast by proxy at the Meeting. Unless marked otherwise where Charles Chao or Edward Wu is appointed as proxy, proxies received will be voted FOR Proposal No. 2.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

PricewaterhouseCoopers has served as our independent auditors since May 20, 1999. In the event that ratification of this selection of accountants is not approved by a majority of the shares of ordinary shares voting at the Annual General Meeting in person or by proxy, the Board will review its future selection of auditors.

A representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers is expected to be present at the Annual General Meeting. This representative will have an opportunity to make a statement and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

THE ELECTION OF ALL NOMINEES NAMED ABOVE.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS TO AMEND THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AND TO CHANGE THE COMPANY’S NAME TO SINA CORPORATION

     Our current Articles of Association show the name of the Company as SINA.com. The Board has proposed that the name of the Company be changed to Sina Corporation. The shareholders are being asked to approve the following SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS in accordance with Cayman Islands law:

     (i) THAT the name of the Company be and is hereby changed to “Sina Corporation.”
     (ii) THAT the definition of “the Company” in Article 1 of the Articles of Association be and is hereby amended to read as follows:

     “‘the Company’ or ‘this Company’ shall mean Sina Corporation;”
     The purpose of the proposed amendment is to change the Company’s name to more clearly reflect its business operations. We have developed three distinct, yet inter-dependent business lines: SINA.com (our Internet media business, focusing on providing information and content to the internet users), SINA.net (our technology services business, focusing on providing Internet based technology solution and services to enterprises and governments) and SINA Online (our telecom access and subscription business, focusing on providing bundled access and content services to end users). Therefore, we feel SINA.com is no longer an appropriate name for the Company.

The Board has proposed that it be granted the authority to direct the repurchase of shares of the Company’s shares, subject to certain restrictions, without obtaining shareholder approval of the manner of such repurchases. The purpose of this Repurchase Amendment is to provide the Company with more flexibility in the repurchase of its shares. For example, if the Board determines that it is appropriate to repurchase certain of its shares due to what the directors believe to be a short-term drop in the Company’s stock price, the Company may need to effect such repurchase quickly. This would not be possible under the Company’s current Articles of Association due to the need to obtain shareholder approval of the transaction. The shareholders are being asked to approve the following SPECIAL RESOLUTION in accordance with Cayman Islands law:

“6.     Company may purchase and finance the purchase of own shares and warrants

     (i) on any such repurchase the Board shall have the power to divide the whole or any part of the assets of the Company and appropriate such assets in satisfaction or part satisfaction of the repurchase price and any other sums payable on repurchase as is herein provided;
     (ii) no repurchase of part of the member’s holding of shares may be made if as a result thereof the member would hold fewer shares than such minimum number of shares as may from time to time be specified (either generally or in any particular case or cases) by the Board;
     (iii) subject as hereinafter in these Articles provided, the member shall not be entitled to withdraw an agreement duly made in accordance with these Articles;
     (iv) whenever any request for repurchase provides for the repurchase proceeds to be paid by telegraphic transfer or to a person other than the holder of the shares to be repurchased, the signature of the holder on such request and details of that bank account shall, unless the Board (or such other person duly appointed by the Board for this purpose) otherwise determines, be verified in such manner as the Board (or such person as aforesaid) may from time to time determine.

     (b) Payment in respect of the repurchase of the relevant Shares shall be made to the member in United States dollars. Any amount payable to the member upon the repurchase of his Shares shall be payable within one month after the applicable repurchase date. Payment for shares repurchased hereunder shall be made in accordance with written instructions of the member by a cheque, draft, telegraphic transfer or other means of payment posted (at the risk of the member) or otherwise paid to

9


the member in the manner, and subject to the fulfillment of such conditions as may be, determined by the Board from time to time.
     (c) The Repurchase Price for each share shall be the closing price per share of the Company’s shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market rounded to the nearest US$0.01 (with US$0.005 being rounded up to US$0.01).
     (d) On a repurchase of a share:

     (i) the nominal or par value shall be redeemed out of profits of the Company or at the discretion of the Board in such other manner (including out of capital) as is permitted by the Companies Law; and
     (ii) the premium (if any) on such participating share shall be paid from the share premium account or out of profits of the Company or at the discretion of the Board in such other manner (including out of capital) as is permitted by the Companies Law.

     (e) Upon the repurchase of a share being effected pursuant to these Articles the holder thereof shall cease to be entitled to any rights in respect of that share and accordingly his name shall be removed from the Register with respect thereto and such share shall be cancelled, but shall be available as a share for re-issue and until re-issue shall form part of the unissued share capital of the Company.”

The purpose of the proposed amendment is to grant the Board the authority to direct the repurchase of shares in the capital of the Company, subject to certain restrictions, without obtaining shareholder approval.

Required Vote

Approval of Proposal No. 3 as a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

So that the Company may file a clean, consolidated version of the Articles of Association reflecting all of the changes that have been made by the shareholders, the Board has proposed that the Articles of Association be amended and restated to reflect those changes that have been adopted as set forth above, in the form that shall be presented to the shareholders by the Chairman at the Annual Meeting.

OPTION GRANTS IN LAST FISCALCALENDAR YEAR

     The following table sets forth certain information for the yeartwelve-month period ended June 30,December 31, 2002 with respect to grants of stock options to each of the Named Executive Officers. No stock appreciation rights were granted to the Named Executive Officers during the year ended June 30,Calendar 2002. All options granted by us during the year ended June 30,Calendar 2002 were granted under our 1999 Stock Plan and 1999 Executive Stock Option Plan. We granted options to purchase ordinary shares equal to a total of 2,339,3003,221,800 shares during the year ended June 30,Calendar 2002. Options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our ordinary shares.

     These options have a term of 10 years, but are subject to earlier termination in connection with termination of employment. Optionees may pay the exercise price by cash, check, or delivery of already-owned ordinary shares in the capital of the Company. Options granted to the Named Executive Officers vest over a four-year term ratably on a monthly basis. For a discussion of treatment of certain options in the event of a change in control transaction, see the discussion under “Change of Control Agreements” above.

     Potential realizable values are net of exercise price before taxes, and are based on the assumption that our ordinary shares appreciates at the annual rate shown, compounded annually, from the date of grant until the expiration of the 10-year term. These numbers are calculated based on SEC requirements and do not reflect our projection or estimate of future stock price growth. The assigned 5% and 10% rates of stock appreciation are based on the fair market value of our ordinary shares of $1.75 on June 28, 2002. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises will be dependent on the future performance of our ordinary shares. Unless the market price of the ordinary shares appreciates over the option term, no value will be realized from the option grants made to executive officers.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that might incorporate future filings, including this Proxy Statement, in whole or in part, the following Compensation and Audit Committee reports and the Stock Performance Graph which follows shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any such filings.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     During fiscal yearthe twelve-month period ended June 30,December 31, 2002, the Compensation Committee of SINA.com’sour Board of Directors (the “Committee”) consisted of Mr. Pehong Chen and Mr. Lip-Bu Tan. The members of the Compensation Committee are independent non-employee directors.

     The following is a report of Committee describing the compensation policies applicable to the Company’s executive officers during the fiscal yeartwelve-month period ended June 30,December 31, 2002. The Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring the general compensation policies and compensation plans of the Company, as well as the specific compensation levels for executive officers. It also administers the granting of options to executive employees under the Company’s stock option plans. plans.Executive officers who are also directors have not participated in deliberations or decisions involving their own compensation.

17


General Compensation Policy

     Under the supervision of the Board of Directors, the Company’s compensation policy is designed to attract and retain qualified key executives critical to the Company’s growth and long-term success. It is the objective of the Board of Directors to have a portion of each executive’s compensation contingent upon the Company’s performance as well as upon the individual’s personal performance. Accordingly, each executive officer’s compensation package is comprised of three elements: (i) base salary which reflects individual performance and expertise, (ii) variable bonus awards payable in cash and tied to the achievement of certain performance goals that the Board of Directors establishes from time to time for the Company and (iii) long-term stock-based incentive awards which are designed to strengthen the mutuality of interests between the executive officers and the Company’s shareholders.

     The summary below describes in more detail the factors which the Board of Directors considers in establishing each of the three primary components of the compensation package provided to the executive officers.

Base Salary

     The level of base salary is established primarily on the basis of the individual’s qualifications and relevant experience, the strategic goals for which he or she has responsibility, the compensation levels at companies which compete with the Company for business and executive talent, and the incentives necessary to attract and retain qualified management. Base salary is adjusted each year to take into account the individual’s performance and to maintain a competitive salary structure. Company performance does not play a significant role in the determination of base salary.

Cash-Based Incentive Compensation

     Cash bonuses are awarded on a discretionary basis to executive officers on the basis of their success in achieving designated individual goals and the Company’s success in achieving specific company-wide goals.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

     The Company has utilized its stock option plans to provide executives and other key employees with incentives to maximize long-term shareholder values. Awards under this plan by the Board of Directors take the form of stock options designed to give the recipient a significant equity stake in the Company and thereby closely align his or her interests with those of the Company’s shareholders. Factors considered in making such awards include the individual’s position in the Company, his or her performance and responsibilities, and internal comparability considerations.

19


Each option grant allows the executive officer to acquire shares of ordinary shares at a fixed price per share (the fair market value on the date of grant) over a specified period of time (up to 10 years). The options typically vest in periodic installments over a four-year period, contingent upon the executive officer’s continued employment with the Company, although exceptions may be made when deemed necessary or appropriate. Accordingly, the option will provide a return to the executive officer only if he or she remains in the Company’s service, and then only if the market price of the ordinary shares appreciates over the option term. In addition to the stock option plans, executive employees are eligible to participate in the Company’s 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer

     Daniel Mao iswas the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.Officer during Calendar 2002.

     The factors discussed above in “Base Salaries,” “Cash-Based Incentive Compensation,” and “Long-Term Incentive Compensation” were also applied in establishing the amount of Mr. Mao’s salary and stock option grant. Significant factors in establishing Mr. Mao’s compensation include his performance and responsibilities, and internal comparability considerations. Mr. Mao’s base salary for the fiscal year ending June 30,twelve-month period ended December 31, 2002 was $277,083.$289,583. Mr. Mao received $93,694$131,250 in cash-based incentive compensation based on

18


achievement by the Company of quarterly performance metrics set by the Board.

In addition, he received a housing allowance of $33,000.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

     The Committee has considered the impact of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code adopted under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, which section disallows a deduction for any publicly held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1 million in any taxable year for the CEO and four other most highly compensated executive officers, respectively, unless such compensation meets the requirements for the “performance-based” exception to Section 162(m). As the cash compensation paid by the Company to each of its executive officers is expected to be below $1 million and the Committee believes that options granted under the Company’s Executive Plan and 1999 Executive Stock Plan to such officers will meet the requirements for qualifying as performance-based, the Committee believes that Section 162(m) will not affect the tax deductions available to the Company with respect to the compensation of its executive officers. It is the Committee’s policy to qualify, to the extent reasonable, its executive officers’ compensation for deductibility under applicable tax law. However, the Company may from time to time pay compensation to its executive officers that may not be deductible.
