Alibaba Group Holding Limited (Alibaba Group), the Chinese e-commerce giant founded in 1999, had an initial public offering (IPO) of American depository shares at $68 per share on the New York Stock Exchange. Based on this offering price, this deal raised $25 billion for Alibaba Group, making it the world's largest IPO (Barreto 2014) The scope of Alibaba Group's IPO has drawn particular attention to the risks and opportunities of investing in this company as well as other U.S.-listed Chinese companies. This case will first provide a brief background on Alibaba Group, and then explore important aspects associated with its IPO in the U.S. Corporate Overview Since the launch of Alibaba.com in 1999 by Jack Ma in his apartment in Hangzhou, China, Alibaba Group has established a portfolio of companies operating in wholesale and retail online marketplaces as well as Internet-based businesses offering advertising and marketing services, electronic payments, cloud-based computing, and network services as well as mobile solutions. Alibaba Group has developed an ecosystem around its platform that consists of buyers, sellers, third-party service providers, strategic alliance partners, and investee companies, Table 1 shows important milestones in Alibaba Group's history (hup:/www.alibabagroup.com/en/about/history).TABLE 1 Important Milestones in Alibaba Group's History 1999 Alibaba.com is officially launched by its 18 founders, led by Jack Ma, working from Jack Ma's apartment in Hangzhou. The parent holding company of Alibaba com. Alibaba Group Holling Limited (Alibaba Group). is established in the Cayman Islands. 2000 Alibaba Group raises US$20 million from SoftBank and US$5 million from Goldman Sachs. 2002 Alibaba Group becomes profitable. 2003 Alibaba Group founds online shopping website Taobaocom 2004 Alibaba Group rakes US$ 82 million from a group of venture capital investors. 2005 Alibaba Group forms a strategic partnership with Yahoo! in which Yahoo! invests US$1 billion in exchange for 42 percent equity interest in Alibaba Group. 2007 Allbaba com is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at a price of HK$1350, raising HK$1 3 billion (US$ 1.68 billion). Alibaba Group launches Alimama, a marketing technology platform that offers sellers online marketing services for both personal computers and mobile devices, 2008 Alibaba Group founds Tmallcom, a platform for third-party brands and retailers. 2009 Alibaba Cloud Computing is established to handle increasing data management needs, 2010 The Alibaba Partnership structure is established.

Alibaba Group's revenues are primarily derived from online marketing services, commissions based on gross merchandise volume (ie. the total value of merchandise sold), as well as fees from the sale of memberships on their wholesale marketplaces,' It does not engage in direct sales, compete with marketplace merchants, or hold inventory. Online marketing services constituted approximately two thirds of Alibaba Group's total revenue in fiscal year 2014. The two primary types of online marketing services are pay-per-view advertising services (a.ka. "pay-for-performance marketing services") and display advertising services, which accounted for 45.3 percent and 7.7 percent of its total revenue in fiscal year 2014, respectively. Pay-per-view is an Internet advertising model in which advertisers pay the website a service fee when the advertisement is clicked. On Alibaba Group's marketplace, the pay-per-view advertising service fee is determined through an online real-time auction system. Display marketing allows advertisers to place advertisements in particular areas of a web page at fixed prices or prices established by a real-time bickding system during particular periods of time. Alibaba Group's marketplace requires advertisers to pay for these online marketing services in advance. Commissions based on gross merchandise volume and membership fees accounted for 243 percent of Alibaba Group's total revenue in fiscal year 2014. Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables (e-g. the sale of membership packages) currently constitute less than 1 percent of Alibaba Group's revenue. Substantially all of Alibaba Group's assets and business operations are in China and it derives substantially all of its revenue from China. Given China's economic growth. political stability, increasing levels of Chinese consumer spending, and protection from foreign competition, Alibaba Group has grown rapidly, In the meantime, its costs have increased each year due The financial Information on Alibaba Group was chained from the Alluba Group IPO Prospectus (Form 42404)filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) In September 2014 (Alibaba Group Holling Linked 2014). In conrad, Alibaba Group's bargeit rival, ID.comm, which is the weand larged e-commerce company in China based on gross merchandise volume. priminly mpyes in an on the dinst sales model with a small online marketplace for third-party allow (JD.com 2014). D.com had a US$1.18 billionto strategic investments and acquisitions to expand its user base and enhance its cloud computing business and other technology products designed to strengthen its ecosystem. Primary Investors-Yahoo! and SoftBank Alibaba Group's success has already paid dividends to an investor with whom the company has had a long and tumultuous history: Yahoo!. In 2005, Yahoo! invested $1 billion in Alibaba Group in exchange for 46 percent of outstanding common stock. Yahoo! obtained the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Alibaba Group. At the time the investment was strategically important for Alibaba Group as its subsidiary, Taobao.com, was competing directly with eBay's Chinese subsidiary. However, after this investment, Alibaba Group and Yahoo! later developed a rocky relationship over issues including business operations, a spin off of Alibaba's payment business, Alipay, and board of director selections (Gough 2013). On September 18, 2012, Alibaba Group and Yahoo! entered into a share repurchase agreement pursuant to which Alibaba Group repurchased some of its shares from Yahoo!. Yahoo! received $13.54 per share, or $7.1 billion in total consideration. The sale of shares resulted in a pre-tax gain of $4.6 billion for Yahoo! in 2012. Yahoo!'s ownership interest was reduced to approximately 24 percent, Although Yahoo! retained some ability to exercise significant influence over Alibaba Group, the share repurchase agreement strengthened Alibaba Group's management control and paved the way for its IPO. Another primary investor of Alibaba Group is SoftBank Group Corp, a Japanese telecommunications company and the controlling shareholder of Sprint. In 2000. SoftBank made its first investment of $20 million in Alibaba Group. In 2003, it made a series of further investments totaling $80 million. After Alibaba Group's IPO in September 2014, during which the pre-IPO shareholders (e.g., SoftBank, Yahoo!, and Maj sold a portion of their shares, SoftBank owned approximately 32 percent, Yahoo! owned approximately 15 percent, and Ma owned approximately 8 percent of shares.' After the IPO. Yahoo! did not have the ability to exercise significant influence over Alibaba Group. nor could Yahoo! sell its equity stake in 2014 due to a lockup agreement. Variable Interest Entity (VIE) Structure Alibaba Group's IPO carried a significant risk; it is essentially a Chinese company operating in China under Chinese law, which is very different from U.S. law. Private companies in China have difficulty accessing sufficient capital domestically and look to foreign investors that are keen to share in China's economic growth for financing. However, foreign ownership of Chinese companies is regulated in China, and the Chinese government requires companies seeking to list overseas to obtain permission. State-owned enterprises, like PetroChina Company Limited listed on the New York Stock Exchange, have obtained this permission, but it is extremely difficult for a private company to obtain permission. In addition, the Chinese government regulates foreign investment through the Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment Industries (Ministry of Commerce 2011), which classifies industry sectors into encouraged, restricted, or prohibited categories, Certain essential Internet business activities, such as operating a website or providing Internet content, are in an industry sector for which foreign investment is restricted or prohibited. To bypass these restrictions, solutions were created to allow foreign investors to invest in Chinese private Internet companies. First, Chinese private Internet companies are split into an offshore holding company outside China, typically in the Cayman Islands or similar tax havens, and onshore entities in China. Foreign investors can then buy shares in the foreign-listed offshore holding company of the onshore entities. Onshore businesses in China hold licenses required to operate in China as well as other assets. In Alibaba Group's case, Alibaba Group is a Cayman Islands holding company established in 1999, and it conducts business in China through onshore Chinese companies. Alibaba Group's foreign shareholders own a piece of the Cayman Islands holding company- Next. Chinese private Internet companies' onshore entities in China are further separated into two parts: (1) wholly foreign-owned enterprises and (2) variable interest entities (VIEs). With respect to the former, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise conducts business activities that are open to foreign investment and is 100 percent owned by its offshore holding company. A wholly foreign-owned enterprise is routinely used by multinational companies to operate in China, and also used by overseas-listed Chinese private companies that do not use VIEs. Alibaba Group holds 83 percent of its total assets in andFIGURE 1 Ownership Structure for Alibaba Group's Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) Foreign shareholders Legal ownership Contractual agreements Alibaba Group Holding Limited Ofishare China 100% through offshore holding companies Onshore China VIE equity holden" Contractual agreements to establish VII's 109% Wholly foreign- owned calciprises VIE "The VIE equity holders of Alibaba Group are Executive Chairman Jack Ma and Vice President Simon Me, both of whom are Chinese cidzens.

Because Alibaba Group holds 100 percent ownership interest in its wholly foreign-owned enterprises, it consolidates these enterprises in its financial statements. With respect to VIEs, businesses that are restricted or prohibited from foreign investment are put into Chinese entities owned by Chinese citizens. The challenge then becomes how to include the restricted or prohibited part of the business in the offshore holding company. Solving this challenge was an essential requirement for an IPO in the U.S. Overcoming this challenge required the creati creative utilization of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 810-10, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FASB 2009b) (Interpretation No. 46 [FASB 2003a] and subsequent amendments including Interpretation No. 46(R) [FASB 2003b] and Statement No. 167 [FASB 2009a]). The FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 in 2003 to expand previous accounting guidance that addresses when a company should consolidate another entity in its financial statements. The previous standards focused solely on ownership: one company consolidated another entity in its financial statements if it controlled the entity through a majority ownership interest or voting rights. Many companies abused the previous standards by creating special purpose entities to hold debt. Since these companies were structured to own less than 50 percent of the shares of the special purpose entity, they did not consolidate the entity, thus keeping the debt off their balance sheet. Enron Corporation made extensive use of this accounting loophole, and its collapse led to the establishment of Interpretation No. 46. Interpretation No. 46 expands the entities that are subject to consolidation by requiring a reporting entity to consolidate any entity in which it has a controlling financial interest, regardless of whether the controlling financial interest is through equity ownership, through contractual arrangements, etc. The FASB coined the term "variable interest entity" for entities to be consolidated under Interpretation No. 46. An unexpected consequence of Interpretation No. 46 is that it enabled Chinese private companies in restricted or prohibited industry sectors to list their shares in the US. (Gillis 2012, 2014). Alibaba Group's VIEs, which are incorporated in China and 100 percent owned by Chinese citizens, hold the Internet content provider licenses required to operate websites in China. Alibaba Group's onshore wholly foreign-owned enterprises enter into a series of contractual arrangements that provide these enterprises with controlling financial interests in VIEs. Specifically. these contracts (1) give wholly foreign-owned enterprises the power to direct the activities of VIEs that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (2) enable wholly foreign-owned enterprises to receive benefits or to absorb the losses from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Ultimately, these complex contractual arrangements ensure that the economic benefits of the VIEs flow to Alibaba Group, which is the owner of the wholly foreign- nowneed enterprises In areaslance with A50210. In Alihaha firm includes the financial results of its VIEs in its consolidatedAlibaba Group acknowledged that if the Chinese government deems that the contractual arrangements in relation to VIEs violate Chinese law, then the company could be forced to relinquish its interests in those operations. However, given the billions of dollars of foreign investment in dozens of Chinese companies through VIEs, Alibaba Group's executives believe the Chinese government would not endanger these property rights. Further, as Alibaba Group's IPO listing is the largest in the world. it would be a shock to global capital markets if China's leaders undermine the VIE arrangement. U.S. legal experts also argue that if Alibaba Group were to ever declare bankruptcy, foreign investors might not be able to seize assets in the VIIis because the VII: contractual agreements may prove unenforceable in Chinese counts where the rule of law remains rudimentary. The U.S. China Economic and Security Review Commission, set up by Congress, warned against these arrangements in a June 2014 report: "This intricate ruse is a way of making the business appear to be Chinese-owned to Chinese regulators while claiming to be a foreign-owned business to foreign investors. Neither claim is technically true, and the arrangement is highly risky and potentially illegal in China" (U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Comunission 2014. 4). Partnership Structure Before seeking an IPO in the U.S., Alibaba Group initially approached the Hong Kong Stock Exchange despite the Exchange's rules requiring equal shareholder rights. The Exchange's rules were problematic because in 2013 Alibaba Group adopted an unusual partnership structure that allows the Alibaba Partnership team to nominate a simple majority of its board of directors. The partnership structure concentrates significant control within the 30-member partnership and limits outside shareholders' ability to influence corporate mallers. However, corporate governance structures with unequal shareholder rights are not uncommon in the U.S. Many U.S. technology companies, such as Alphabet Inc., Facebook, and LinkedIn, all have multiple share class structures that reject the one-share-one-vote principle (Moroney 2014). Thus, after the Hong Kong Stock Exchange refused to make an exception, Alibaba Group moved forward with a listing on the New York Stock Exchange. Lockup Agreement Alibaba Group sold approximately 148 percent of its ordinary shares during the IPO in September 2014. After the completion of the IPO, remaining shares held by its early investors (including Yahoo!, SoftBank, and Alibaba Group's directors, executives, and other employees) were subject to lockup agreements under which these shares could not be sold on the stock market for predetermined periods (e.g., 90 days, 180 days, or one year). Yahoo!, SoftBank, and Jack Ma agreed upon a one-year lockup on their holdings. After the lockup expiration in September 2015, the remaining Alibaba Group shares became available for sale in the public market. Financial Information Alibaba Group's consolidated income statements, balance sheets, statements of cash flows, and statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the years ended March 31, 2012, 2013, and 2014 are presented on pages F-3 through F-1 1 in its IPO Prospectus (Form 42484) dated September 18, 2014 (available at: hup://www sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1577552/ 000 1 193 12514347620/d70911 16424b4.hum). These financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP." The reporting currency of Alibaba Group is the Chinese currency renminbi (RMB). The financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014 also contain translations of RMB into U.S. dollars, All translations of RMB into US. dollars were made at RMB6.2036-to-US$1, the exchange rate set forth by the Federal Reserve Board on June 30, 2014.
