SEA’S ALLEGED MISCONDUCT

The Class Period begins on April 23, 2022, the day after Sea filed an annual report with the SEC, reporting the company’s financial and operational results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021. The annual report represented that a large and growing user base benefitted Sea’s monetization efforts and that synergies among the company’s three businesses allowed the company to increase its user base, and monetization of that user base, in a cost-effective manner. Throughout the Class Period, Defendants consistently touted purported synergies among Sea’s three core businesses as enabling the company to grow its user base and loan book in an efficient, cost-effective manner, while managing risks impacting the company’s profitability.

On May 16, 2023, Sea issued a press release announcing its financial results for the first quarter of 2023. Sea reported, among other things, first-quarter earnings that fell significantly short of expectations due to a sharp increase in loan loss reserves. Specifically, Sea stated that "[o]ur provision for credit losses increased by 120.5% to US$177.4 million in the first quarter of 2023 from US$80.5 million in the first quarter of 2022, primarily driven by expansion to a broader user base and the growth of our loan book.” Additionally, Sea disclosed that their previous CIO resigned and had joined Sea's Board of Directors.

Following this news, Sea's American Depositary Share (ADS) price fell $15.62 per ADS, or 17.74%, to close at $72.45 per ADS on May 16, 2023.
