Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned hereby tenders to Renren Inc. (“Renren”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in its Offer to Purchase, dated April 2, 2015, and the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the number American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”), each representing three Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A Shares”), listed below, pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase.

Number of ADSs to be tendered: ________________ ADSs

NOTE: SIGNATURES MUST BE PROVIDED WHERE INDICATED BELOW

PRICE (IN DOLLARS) PER ADS AT WHICH ADSs ARE BEING TENDERED
(See Instruction 5 of the Letter of Transmittal)

THE UNDERSIGNED IS TENDERING ADSs AS FOLLOWS (CHECK ONLY ONE BOX UNDER (1) OR (2) BELOW):

(1)  ADSs TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED UNDER THE OFFER

By checking the box below INSTEAD OF ONE OF THE BOXES UNDER “ADSs Tendered At Price Determined By Securityholder,” the undersigned hereby tenders ADSs at the Final Purchase Price as shall be determined by Renren in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

o The undersigned wants to maximize the chance that Renren will accept for payment all of the ADSs the undersigned is tendering (subject to the possibility of proration). Accordingly, by checking this box instead of one of the price boxes below, the undersigned hereby tenders ADSs at, and is willing to accept, the purchase price determined by Renren in accordance with the terms of the Offer. The undersigned understands that this action will result in the undersigned's ADSs being deemed to be tendered at the minimum price of $2.40 per ADS for purposes of determining the Final Purchase Price. This may effectively lower the Final Purchase Price and could result in the undersigned receiving a per ADS price as low as $2.40.

(2)  ADSs TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED BY SECURITYHOLDER

By checking ONE of the following boxes INSTEAD OF THE BOX UNDER “ADSs Tendered At Price Determined Under The Offer,” the undersigned hereby tenders ADSs at the price checked. The undersigned understands that this action could result in Renren purchasing none of the ADSs tendered hereby if the purchase price determined by Renren for the ADSs is less than the price checked below.

o  $2.40              o  $2.50              o  $2.60              o  $2.70
o  $2.45              o  $2.55              o  $2.65              o  $2.75

CHECK ONLY ONE BOX UNDER (1) OR (2) ABOVE. IF MORE THAN ONE BOX IS CHECKED ABOVE, THERE IS NO VALID TENDER OF ADSs.

A SECURITYHOLDER DESIRING TO TENDER ADSs AT MORE THAN ONE PRICE MUST COMPLETE A SEPARATE NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY FOR EACH PRICE AT WHICH ADSs ARE TENDERED. THE SAME ADSs CANNOT BE TENDERED, UNLESS PREVIOUSLY PROPERLY WITHDRAWN AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 4 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE, AT MORE THAN ONE PRICE.

ODD LOTS
(See Instruction 14 to the Letter of Transmittal)

To be completed ONLY if ADSs are being tendered by or on behalf of a person owning, beneficially or of record, as of the close of business on the date set forth on the signature page hereto, and who continues to own, beneficially or of record, as of the Expiration Date, an aggregate of fewer than 100 ADSs.

The undersigned either (check one box):

o is the beneficial or record owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 ADSs, all of which are being tendered; or
o is a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee that (a) is tendering for the beneficial owner(s) ADSs with respect to which it is the record holder, and (b) believes, based upon representations made to it by the beneficial owner(s), that each such person is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 ADSs and is tendering all of the ADSs beneficially owned by each such person.

In addition, please check box 1 or box 2 under “Price (in Dollars) per ADS at which ADSs are being tendered” above.

CONDITIONAL TENDER
(See Instruction 13 to the Letter of Transmittal)

A securityholder may tender ADSs subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the securityholder's ADSs tendered pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal must be purchased if any ADSs tendered are purchased, all as described in the Offer to Purchase, particularly in Section 6 thereof. Unless at least the minimum number of ADSs indicated below is purchased by Renren pursuant to the terms of the Offer, none of the ADSs tendered will be purchased. It is the tendering securityholder's responsibility to calculate that minimum number of ADSs that must be purchased if any are purchased, and Renren urges securityholders to read carefully Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase and consult their own tax advisors before completing this section. Unless this box has been checked and a minimum specified, the tender will be deemed unconditional.

o The minimum number of ADSs that must be purchased, if any are purchased, is:            ADSs.

If, because of proration, the minimum number of ADSs designated will not be purchased, Renren may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, the tendering securityholder must have tendered all of his or her ADSs and checked this box:

o The tendered ADSs represent all ADSs held by the undersigned.
