EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Form 6-K/A amends the Form 6-K of SINA Corporation (the “Company”) furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2011, including the press release and the unaudited financial results as of December 31, 2010 and for the three months and fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 (the “Q4 2010 Press Release”). The Company’s results for the fourth quarter of 2010 included 66,389,000 ordinary shares (including 4,763,000 ordinary share equivalents) and fiscal year 2010 included 65,908,000 ordinary shares (including 4,692,000 ordinary share equivalents) in the number of shares used in computing diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to SINA. Subsequent to the March 8, 2011 release, the Company determined that the number of shares used to calculate the diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to SINA for the fourth quarter of 2010 and fiscal year 2010 should have been the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic net income (loss) per share, because the Company incurred a net loss during such periods.

In the table below, the amounts under the headings “As Reported” reflect the originally reported information, and the amounts under the headings “As Revised” reflect the revised information. The adjustments do not impact the Company’s cash position, revenues or income from operations.

		Three Months Ended								Twelve Months Ended
Consolidated Statement of Operations Data		December 31, 2010								December 31, 2010
(in thousands except per share data):		As Reported				As Revised				As Reported				As Revised
Diluted net loss per share attributable to SINA		$	(1.51	)		$	(1.62	)		$	(0.29	)		$	(0.31	)
Shares used in computing diluted net loss per share attributable to SINA			66,389				61,626				65,908				61,216

The revised information appears in the fourth bullet of “Fourth Quarter 2010 Highlights” section, the fourth bullet of “Fiscal 2010 Highlights” section and the eighth paragraph of “Fourth Quarter 2010 Financial Results” section of the Q4 2010 Press Release, as well as in line items “Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to SINA” and “Shares used in computing diluted net income per share attributable to SINA” for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010 on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and “Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to SINA” and “Shares used in computing diluted net income per share attributable to SINA” for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010 on the Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Results included with the Q4 2010 Press Release.
