Alibaba Resumes Plan for $5 Billion Bond Sale After Revenue Gain
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. will kick off what could be a $5 billion dollar bond sale this week, picking up a plan that went quiet last month when its founder had been out of sight for months.
The Chinese e-commerce giant will issue debt to boost working capital and repay its offshore debt, according to a filing Tuesday. Some of sale will comprised of sustainability bonds the company’s first ever with the proceeds earmarked for eligible projects like responding to the Covid-19 crisis and investing in renewable energy, according to the filing. Alibaba was aiming to raise at least $5 billion a month ago, Bloomberg reported in early January. Investors had wondered whether the company could pull it off as founder Jack Ma hadn’t been seen in public since his Internet empire was hit with growing antitrust scrutiny. The company is resuming the debt plans after reporting a 37% increase in quarterly revenue that beat analysts’ expectations, giving the company a much-needed boost amid the regulatory crackdown. Beijing in November torpedoed affiliate Ant Group Co.’s record initial public offering and began an investigation into the online retailer, fueling uncertainty over the future of Ma’s tech empire. But the billionaire entrepreneur’s brief return to public view in January signaled that worst-case scenarios may be less likely.
The debt sale could raise as much as $5 billion, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified as the details are private. Citigroup Inc., Credit Suisse Group AG, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and China International Capital Corp. are among the underwriters, according to the filing. Alibaba isn’t alone in choosing to tap the global bond market now. Asian borrowers just set a new record January for dollar bond sales, capitalizing on investors’ hunger for higher-yielding assets amid ultra-low interest rates.
Alibaba plans to issue bonds in four maturities, with the longest due in 40 years, the person said. The plans are subject to change per market and other conditions, according to the filing. The company could not be reached immediately for comment outside of regular business hours.

Treasury's Yellen to convene meeting of top regulators on GameStop volatility
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is calling a meeting of top financial regulators this week to discuss market volatility driven by retail trading in GameStop Corp and other stocks. Yellen will convene the heads of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, a Treasury official said on Tuesday.
Yellen sought and received permission from ethics lawyers before calling the meeting, according to a document seen by Reuters, and to engage on wide-ranging issues in the financial services industry. Yellen's decision to seek the waiver followed a report here by Reuters that because of speaking fees she was paid by a key player in the GameStop saga, hedge fund Citadel LLC, she may need to seek an ethics waiver in order to deal with matters involving the firm.
The Treasury official, who declined to be identified by name, said the meeting would be held this week, possibly as early as Thursday.
“Secretary Yellen believes the integrity of markets is important and has asked for a discussion of recent volatility in financial markets and whether recent activities are consistent with investor protection and fair and efficient markets,” Treasury spokeswoman Alexandra LaManna said in a statement to Reuters. Yellen’s action comes after days of gyrations in the shares of video-game retailer GameStop driven by retail investors that have made or lost billions of dollars for hedge funds and other investors in recent weeks. Retail trading activity has also driven up silver prices in recent days.
GameStop shares more than halved in value on Tuesday and silver prices retreated as the Reddit-driven trading frenzy that roiled stock and commodity markets died down, at least for now. GameStop shares closed down 60% at $90. They are now worth less than a fifth of their high of $483 last week. The saga is likely to expedite a regulatory review of the ever-larger role played by non-bank firms in the financial markets, regulatory experts say. Treasury ethics attorneys have given Yellen flexibility to work on any related issues that come up, with no limits on current or future markets, the Treasury official said.
In the memo granting Yellen permission to call the meeting of regulators, a Treasury ethics official, Brian Sonfield, said it would be “difficult, if not impossible” for Yellen to recuse herself from matters involving market volatility. “You are the Secretary of the Treasury, the duties of which require you to be involved in a broad array of matters focused on these sectors,” Sonfield wrote. “Issues relating to these sectors could arise at any time without the opportunity for consultation with the ethics office. These circumstances make it difficult, if not impossible, for you to recuse from matters relating to these sectors and also argue in favor of prior authorization.”
