Exhibit 99.1

 

Voting Results of 2019 Annual General Meeting

 

At Alibaba Group Holding Limited’s (the “Company”) annual general meeting of shareholders held on July 15, 2019 (the “AGM”), the Company’s shareholders:

 

·                  approved to effect an increase in the number of authorized ordinary shares and a one-to-eight share subdivision of the Company’s ordinary shares, including all outstanding options, RSUs and share awards (the “Share Subdivision”);

 

·                  elected each of Daniel Yong Zhang, Chee Hwa Tung, Jerry Yang and Wan Ling Martello to serve as Group II director until the Company’s 2022 annual general meeting, or until their successors are duly elected or appointed; and

 

·                  ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020.

 

As stated in the proxy statement, the Share Subdivision will take effect on a date to be determined at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, which shall be no later than July 15, 2020, at which time the shareholder approval will lapse and be of no effect.  Simultaneous with the Share Subdivision, the Company will change its ratio of ordinary shares to American depositary shares (“ADSs”) from the current one ADS representing one ordinary share to one ADS representing eight ordinary shares.

 

A total of 2,544,395,090 ordinary shares, including those underlying ADSs, representing 97.7% of the ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of June 7, 2019, the record date, were present in person or by proxy at the AGM.  The results of the votes are as follows:
