SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf of Investors of Alibaba Group Holding Limited - BABA

PR Newswire

NEW YORK, Dec. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Alibaba Group Holding Limited  ("Alibaba" or the "Company") (NYSE: BABA).  Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at  [email protected] or 888-476-6529, ext. 7980.

The investigation concerns whether Alibaba and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.

Alibaba owns a 33% equity interest in Ant Small and Micro Financial Services Group Co., Ltd. ("Ant Group"), a financial technology company that operates Alipay, a mobile and online payment platform.  On July 20, 2020, Ant Group announced that it had begun the process of a concurrent initial public offering ("IPO") on the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock exchanges.  On October 26, 2020, Ant Group priced its IPO and was set to raise $34.5 billion, making the IPO the largest public offering in history.  Then, on November 2, 2020, the Financial Times reported that Chinese regulators had met with Ant Group's controller Jack Ma, executive chairman Eric Jing, and Chief Executive Officer Simon Hu.  The article stated that, though regulators did not provide details, "the Chinese word used to describe the interview—yuetan—generally indicates a dressing down by authorities."  The article also included a statement from Ant Group that it will "implement the meeting opinions in depth."  Finally, on November 3, 2020, the IPO was suspended because Ant Group "may not meet listing qualifications or disclosure requirements due to material matters" related to the meeting with regulators the previous day and "the recent changes in the Fintech regulatory environment." 

On this news, Alibaba's American depositary receipt ("ADR") price fell $25.27 per ADR, or 8%, to close at $285.57 per ADR on November 3, 2020.
