Section 1 Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

This Form SD disclosure of Alibaba Group Holding Limited (the “Company”) is for the year ended December 31, 2022. Unless the context indicates otherwise, “the Company,” “we,” and “our” refer to Alibaba Group Holding Limited and its consolidated subsidiaries and its affiliated consolidated entities, including variable interest entities and their subsidiaries.

This disclosure is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 13p-1”). Pursuant to Rule 13p-1, the Company undertook to determine whether the products it manufactured or contracted to manufacture during the year ended December 31, 2022 contained conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of such products. “Conflict minerals” are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten (“3TG”).

The Company evaluated its products to determine which of its products may contain 3TG. Based on this review, the Company determined that 3TG are necessary to the functionality or production of certain components in certain of its products, including but not limited to servers and networking equipment, and the components of these hardware, smart speakers and set-top boxes and smart attendance machines. We refer to the foregoing products as the “Covered Products.”

The Company conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry to determine whether any of the 3TG contained in the Covered Products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia (together, the “Covered Countries”) or from recycled or scrap sources. The Company’s primary means of determining the country of origin of the 3TG contained in the Covered Products was conducting (i) an internal supply-chain inquiry to identify products containing 3TG, and (ii) inquiring of the Company’s suppliers eliciting, as applicable, information regarding (a) the country of origin of the 3TG contained in the Covered Products, (b) whether the 3TG came from scrap or recycled sources, and (c) other relevant information regarding the suppliers’ (or its suppliers’) practices concerning 3TG.

Based on the reasonable country of origin inquiry described above, the Company has in good faith concluded that some of the Company’s products may contain 3TG originated in the Covered Countries, but there is nothing in the responses received to date by the Company to suggest that the Company’s products contain any 3TG that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. Among the few suppliers who indicated that their products contain 3TG from the Covered Countries, all confirmed that the smelters from which they sourced minerals comply with certain responsible mineral sourcing validation programs, such as the Responsible Minerals Initiative, or the 3TG came from scrap or recycled sources.

In accordance with the requirements under Rule 13p-1, the above disclosure is also available on the Company’s website at http://www.alibabagroup.com/en/ir/secfilings.
