BABA Outlines Independent Financing and IPO for All Divisions Except Taobao Tmall Biz

$BABA-W (09988.HK)$ held a conference call at 8am this morning to brief on the new organization and governance structure.

Chairman and CEO Daniel Zhang said that after Alibaba's reorganization into the six divisions, each division will be an independent operating company, meaning that Alibaba's role as a holding company will be more of an asset and capital operator rather than a business operator.

CFO Toby Xu said the six divisions will be able to seek independent financing, including IPO. All division except Taobao Tmall Business will seek independent financing and IPO at the appropriate time, and that the group will continue to evaluate these companies after the IPO and decide whether to remain under the control of the parent company.

Xu said Alibaba will continue to evaluate share buyback programs and monetize less strategic investments in its portfolio to improve its capital structure.
