"% of total stake" is the shares in an event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings are not confirmed, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

Common questions

Is the Sea Ltd CEO selling stock?

Yes. Xiaodong Li sold 1.14M shares ($147M) in the past 12 months, all of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are Sea Ltd insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 99% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 0.8% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Sea Ltd insiders buying?

No. Officers and directors reported no purchases in the past 12 months.

What explains the selling$538M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $538M across 5,095,938 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($4.5M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $4.5M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $2.4M of it is Chen Heng. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Chen Heng, Aug 14, 2026

Known gaps and uncertainty12 officers and directors not confirmed

Holdings and share of stake are being verified. Balances, unit counts and every share-of-stake figure for Sea Ltd are held back until that check is finished. Sales, proceeds, plan and tax status, titles and dates come straight from individual filings and are complete.

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology216 filings on record, 216 filed in the 12-month period, and how we read them

All 216 Forms 3, 4 and 5 on record for Sea Ltd (SEC CIK 1703399), filed from Mar 18, 2026 to Oct 9, 2026; 216 of them were filed in the 12 months this page covers, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 13, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
