Exhibit 99.1

Inclusion of Alibaba Group on the CMC List

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (“Alibaba Group” or the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries and consolidated entities, the “Group”) noted that the U.S. Department of Defense has included Alibaba Group into the list of Chinese Military Companies (the “CMC List”). The U.S. Department of Defense is prohibited from procuring, directly or indirectly, goods, services or technology from entities on the CMC List.

The Company believes that its inclusion in the CMC List is a mistake. There is no basis to conclude that Alibaba Group should be placed on the CMC List. Alibaba Group is not a Chinese military company nor part of any military-civil fusion strategy. The Company will take all available legal action against attempts to misrepresent the Company.

Inclusion in the CMC List will not affect the Group’s ability to conduct business as usual in the United States or anywhere in the world because the Group does not do business related to U.S. military procurement. The CMC List does not impose any other export controls or sanctions, nor does it prohibit any persons (other than the U.S. Department of Defense) from business dealings with the Group or transacting in the securities of the Company.

The Company will make further announcement(s) as and when appropriate.
