announcements made on the website of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Hong Kong Stock Exchange"), in press releases and other written materials
and in oral statements made by its officers, directors or employees to third parties. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of
factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. These factors include but are not limited to the
following: Alibaba's corporate structure, including the VIE structure it uses to operate certain businesses in the PRC, Alibaba's ability to maintain the trusted status of
its ecosystem; risks associated with sustained investments in Alibaba's businesses; Alibaba's ability to maintain or grow its revenue or business, including expanding its
international and cross border businesses and operations; risks associated with Alibaba's acquisitions, investments and alliances; uncertainties arising from
competition among countries and geopolitical tensions, including protectionist or national security policies; uncertainties and risks associated with a broad range of
complex laws and regulations (including in the areas of anti-monopoly and anti-unfair competition, consumer protection, data security and privacy protection and
regulation of Internet platforms) in the PRC and globally; cybersecurity risks; fluctuations in general economic and business conditions in China and globally; impacts of
the COVID-19 pandemic and assumptions underlying or related to any of the foregoing. In particular, the timing and implementation details of Alibaba Group's new
structure, whether the new structure will yield the expected strategic benefits, and the successful execution of spin-off or capital raising plans are subject to
uncertainties and factors that may be beyond our control, including without limitation, successful restructurings of assets, liabilities and contracts, implementation of
equity incentive plans, market conditions and regulatory reviews and approvals. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in Alibaba's filings with
the SEC and announcements on the website of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. All information provided in this presentation is as of the date of this presentation and
