INTRODUCTION

        This Amendment No. 2 to the Rule 13e-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this "Transaction Statement"), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), jointly by the following persons (each, a "Filing Person," and collectively, the "Filing Persons"): (a) AutoNavi Holdings Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Company"), the issuer of the ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (each, an "Ordinary Share"), including the Ordinary Shares represented by the American depositary shares, each representing four Ordinary Shares ("ADSs"), and series A convertible preferred shares, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a "Preferred Share" and, the Preferred Shares collectively with the Ordinary Shares, the "Shares" and each a "Share"); (b) Alibaba Investment Limited, a company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands ("Parent"), and (c) Ali ET Investment Holding Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub" collectively with Parent, "Alibaba").

        On April 11, 2014, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "merger agreement") which included a plan of merger required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, substantially in the form attached as Annex A to the merger agreement (the "plan of merger"). If the merger agreement and the plan of merger are approved and authorized by the Company's shareholders and the other conditions to the closing of the merger (as described below) are met, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the "merger"), with the Company continuing as the surviving company after the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

        Under the terms of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each outstanding Ordinary Share (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs), other than (a) any Shares owned by Alibaba Group Holding Limited ("AGHL" and, together with Parent and Merger Sub, the "Alibaba Group") or any of its subsidiaries including all issued and outstanding Preferred Shares (the "Alibaba Shares"), (b) Shares owned by the Company or its subsidiaries, if any, (c) Shares owned by shareholders who have validly exercised and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their dissenter rights under the Cayman Companies Law (the "Dissenting Shares"), and (d) Shares issued, outstanding and reserved (but not yet allocated) by the Company, immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (including Ordinary Shares held by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, in its capacity as ADS depositary (the "ADS depositary")), for settlement upon the exercise of any Company option or restricted share award issued under the Company Incentive Plans (as defined below) (Shares described under (a) through (d) above are collectively referred to herein as the "Excluded Shares"), will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $5.25 in cash without interest, and as each ADS represents four Ordinary Shares, each issued and outstanding ADS (other than any ADS that represents Excluded Shares) will represent the right to surrender the ADS in exchange for $21.00 in cash per ADS without interest (less a cancellation fee of up to $5.00 per 100 ADSs (or any fraction thereof) pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement, dated as of June 30, 2010, by and among the Company, the ADS depositary and the holders and beneficial owners of ADSs issued thereunder, or the ADS deposit agreement), in each case, net of any applicable withholding taxes. The Excluded Shares (including ADSs that represent Excluded Shares but excluding the Dissenting Shares) will be cancelled for no consideration. Dissenting Shares will be cancelled and each holder thereof will be entitled to receive only the payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of the Cayman Companies Law.

        In addition, at the effective time of the merger, each outstanding vested and unexercised option to purchase Ordinary Shares or ADSs granted under the Company's 2007 Share Incentive Plan, Share Incentive Plan as of September 1, 2012 and 2013 Share Incentive Plan (collectively, the "Company

1


Table of Contents

Share Incentive Plans") will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, as soon as practicable after the effective time of the merger, a cash amount equal to the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such option immediately prior to the effective time of the merger multiplied by the amount by which $5.25 (in the case of an option to purchase Ordinary Shares) or $21.00 (in the case of an option to purchase ADSs) exceeds the exercise price per Share or ADS, as applicable, of such vested option. At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding unvested option to purchase Ordinary Shares or ADSs granted under the Company Share Incentive Plans will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, as soon as practicable after the effective time of the merger, a restricted cash award in an amount equal to the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such option immediately prior to the effective time of the merger multiplied by the amount by which $5.25 (in the case of an option to purchase Ordinary Shares) or $21.00 (in the case of an option to purchase ADSs) exceeds the exercise price per Ordinary Share or ADS of such unvested option.

        Furthermore, at the effective time of the merger, each outstanding restricted share award granted under the Company Share Incentive Plans will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, as soon as practicable after the effective time of the merger, a restricted cash award in an amount equal to the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such restricted share award immediately prior to the effective time of the merger multiplied by $5.25.

        Except as provided under the arrangement with respect to restricted share awards held by certain non-management directors, namely, Professor Daqing Qi, Jeffrey Zhijie Zeng and Hongyi Zhou (the "Director Parties"), any restricted cash awards will be subject to the same vesting terms applicable to the unvested options or restricted share awards from which they were converted, provided that, consistent with the existing terms of the Company Share Incentive Plans, each restricted cash award will become fully vested and payable immediately upon termination without cause of the holder's employment with the surviving company or any of its subsidiaries within twelve (12) months of the effective time of the merger. The restricted cash awards to be issued to the Director Parties will be fully vested and payable when issued. As soon as practicable after the effective time, each Director Party will be paid a cash amount equal to the product of $5.25 and the number of Ordinary Shares underlying the restricted share awards from which the restricted cash award was converted.

        The merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including obtaining the requisite authorization and approval of the shareholders of the Company. In order for the merger to be completed, the merger agreement, the plan of merger and the merger must be authorized and approved by a special resolution of the Company passed by an affirmative vote of holders of Shares representing at least two-thirds of the Shares present and voting in person or by proxy as a single class at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company.

        The Company will make available to its shareholders a proxy statement (the "proxy statement," a preliminary copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1) to this Transaction Statement), relating to the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company, at which the shareholders of the Company will consider and vote upon, among other proposals, a proposal to authorize and approve the merger agreement, the plan of merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger. Copies of the merger agreement and the plan of merger are attached to the proxy statement as Annex A and are incorporated herein by reference. As of the date hereof, the proxy statement is in preliminary form and is subject to completion.
