Item 1.    Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (as so amended, the “Statement”) is being filed to amend the Statement as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 18, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on July 21, 2016, by Amendment No. 2 on August 18, 2016, by Amendment No. 3 on November 14, 2016, and by Amendment No. 4 on August 15, 2019, and relates to the Class A ordinary shares, par value HK$1.00 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) of Fang Holdings Limited (formerly known as, Soufun Holdings Limited), (the “Company”), whose principal executive offices are located at Tower A, No. 20 Guogongzhuang Middle Street; Fengtai District, Beijing 100070; The People’s Republic of China.

The Company’s American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”), evidenced by American Depositary Receipts, each representing one Class A Ordinary Share, are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SFUN.” The Reporting Persons (as defined below) directly own only ADSs and do not directly own any Class A Ordinary Shares.

Item 2.    Identity and Background.

No material change.

Item 3.    Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended as follows:

Between August 16, 2019 and September 4, 2019, GASF purchased an aggregate of 754,832 ADSs representing 754,832 Class A Ordinary Shares in open market purchases. GASF obtained the funds to purchase the ADSs from contributions from the GA Funds.

Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction.

No material change.

Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 is hereby amended and replaced with the following:

As of the date hereof, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 9,485,142 ADSs representing 9,485,142 underlying Class A Ordinary Shares, or approximately 14.6% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares.

CUSIP No. 836034108   SCHEDULE 13D Page 13 of 16

By virtue of the fact that (i) GAS Interholdco owns a majority of GASF’s voting shares, (ii) the GA Funds contributed the capital to GAS Interholdco to fund GASF’s purchases of the ADSs and may direct GAS Interholdco with respect to its shares of GASF, (iii) GAP (Bermuda) Limited is the general partner of GenPar Bermuda and GenPar Bermuda is the general partner of GAP Bermuda III, (iv) GA LLC is the managing member of GAPCO III, GAPCO IV and GAPCO V and is the general partner of GAPCO CDA and (v) the members of the GA Management Committee control the investment decisions of GAP (Bermuda) Limited and GA LLC, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have the power to vote and direct the disposition of the ADSs owned of record by GASF. As a result, as of the date hereof, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 9,485,142 ADSs, representing 9,485,142 Class A Ordinary Shares, calculated on the basis of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares that may be acquired by the Reporting Persons  within 60 days, or approximately 14.6% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares.

(b) Each of the Reporting Persons has the shared power to vote or direct the vote and the shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the 9,485,142 Class A Ordinary Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each of them.

 (c) Except as previously reported or as set forth in this Item 5(c), Item 3, or otherwise herein, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons with respect to the persons named in response to Item 5(a), none of the persons named in response to Item 5(a) has effected any transactions in the Class A Ordinary Shares during the past 60 days.

Between August 16, 2019 and September 4, 2019, GASF acquired the following ADSs set forth in the table below:

Date	ADSs Purchased	Underlying Class A Ordinary Shares	Price Per ADS
August 16, 2019	120,000	120,000	$1.7800

September 4, 2019	598,500	598,500	$1.7600
