Re:Alibaba Group Holding Limited
Form 20-F for Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2023
Filed July 21, 2023
File No. 001-36614

 

Dear Division:

 

On behalf of our client, Alibaba Group Holding Limited (the “Company”), we are submitting this letter in response to your correspondence dated September 27, 2023 (the “September 27 Letter”) concerning the above-referenced annual report on Form 20-F that the Company filed with the Commission on July 21, 2023.

 

In the September 27 Letter, you requested that the Company respond to the Staff’s comments within 10 business days or advise the Staff as soon as possible when the Company will respond. On October 10, 2023, we submitted a letter on the Company’s behalf to the Staff to request an extension until October 26, 2023. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it is still working on its responses, and given the current status of its preparation work, it will require additional time in order to respond fully to your letter.

 

The Company is therefore requesting a further extension until November 9, 2023.
