Alibaba proposes Hong Kong share placement worth $10 billion
Alibaba said it will use all net proceeds to expand full-stack artificial intelligence capabilities and infrastructure, pending market conditions.
Group Holding Limited announced an Equity Placement of newly issued Placement Shares aiming to raise HK$80 billion in aggregate placing consideration, subject to market and other conditions.
Alibaba intends to use 100% of the net proceeds from this offering to invest in full-stack AI capabilities, including the Qwen family of large language models and expanded infrastructure.
Relying on Regulation under the Securities Act, the Placement Shares are being offered exclusively to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions and remain unregistered within the United States.
Alibaba noted this proposal contains forward-looking statements made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, cautioning there is no assurance the Equity Placement will be completed.
Further information regarding risks is included in filings with the Exchange Commission and announcements on the website of The Stock Exchange, as factors could cause results to differ materially.
