PROXY STATEMENT

for the
2003 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
September 26, 2003

      Our Board of Directors [/s/ CHARLES CHAO]is soliciting proxies for the 2003 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 August 19, 2003 as the record date for the meeting. Shareholders of record who are 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.                      shares of ordinary shares were outstanding on the record date.

     Voting materials, which include this Proxy Statement, a proxy card and the 2003 Annual Report, will be mailed to shareholders on or about August 22, 2003.

     In this Proxy Statement:

• “We,” “us,” “our,” “SINA” and the “Company” refer to SINA Corporation
• “Annual General Meeting” or “Meeting” means our 2003 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 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.

It also administers the granting of options to executive 11 employees under the Company'sCompany’s stock option plans. plans.Executive officers who are also directors have not participated in deliberations or decisions involving their own compensation. GENERAL COMPENSATION POLICY

17


General Compensation Policy

     Under the supervision of the Board of Directors, the Company'sCompany’s compensation policy is designed to attract and retain qualified key executives critical to the Company'sCompany’s growth and long-term success. It is the objective of the Board of Directors to have a portion of each executive'sexecutive’s compensation contingent upon the Company'sCompany’s performance as well as upon the individual'sindividual’s personal performance. Accordingly, each executive officer'sofficer’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'sCompany’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

Base Salary

The level of base salary is established primarily on the basis of the individual'sindividual’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'sindividual’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-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'sCompany’s success in achieving specific company-wide goals. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

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 stockholdershareholder 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'sCompany’s shareholders. Factors considered in making such awards include the individual'sindividual’s position in the Company, his or her performance and responsibilities, and internal comparability considerations.

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'sofficer’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'sCompany’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'sCompany’s 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. COMPENSATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer

     Daniel Mao becamewas the Company'sCompany’s Chief Executive Officer in June 2001 replacing Zhidong Wang who had served as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer since August 1999. In connection with Mr. Mao's appointment, the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Mao an option grant to purchase 375,000 12 shares that vests ratably over 12 months. The Committee examined the level of equity incentives held by other officers as well as Mr. Mao's value, tenure, responsibilities and experience prior to approving the grant.during Calendar 2002.

     The factors discussed above in "Base“Base Salaries," "Cash-Based” “Cash-Based Incentive Compensation," and "Long-Term“Long-Term Incentive Compensation"Compensation” were also applied in establishing the amount of Mr. Mao'sMao’s salary and stock option grant. Significant factors in establishing Mr. Mao'sMao’s compensation include his performance and responsibilities, and internal comparability considerations. DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATIONMr. Mao’s base salary for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2002 was $289,583. Mr. Mao received $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"“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 1999 StockCompany’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'sCommittee’s policy to qualify, to the extent reasonable, its executive officers'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.
