We are subject to the periodic reporting and other disclosure requirements under the U.S. Exchange Act that are applicable to foreign private issuers in the United States. Under the U.S. Exchange Act, we are required to file periodic reports, financial statements and other information with the SEC. We are required to, among other things, file our annual report on Form 20-F within four months after the end of each fiscal year. However, we are exempt from certain disclosure requirements under the U.S. Exchange Act that apply to domestic U.S. companies, and we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as domestic U.S. companies with securities registered under the U.S. Exchange Act. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our ADSs and Shares—As a foreign private issuer in the United States, we are exempt from certain disclosure requirements under the U.S. Exchange Act, which may afford less protection to holders of our ADSs than they would enjoy if we were a domestic U.S. company.” Copies of our periodic reports, financial statements and other information, once filed with the SEC, can be read and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549 and at the SEC’s regional offices in New York, New York and Chicago, Illinois. You can also request copies of these documents, upon payment of a duplicating fee, by writing information on the operation of the SEC’s Public Reference Room. The SEC also maintains an Internet website at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. Our annual report and some of the other information submitted by us to the SEC may be accessed through this website. Such information can also be found on our investor relations website at https://alibabagroup.com/en/ir/home. Share Repurchase Program In May 2019, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program for an amount of up to US$6.0 billion over a period of two years, which has since been upsized and extended a number of times by our board of directors. Most recently, in March 2022, our board of directors authorized an upsize of our share repurchase program to US$25.0 billion which is effective through March 2024.
