2017年12月6日，阿里巴巴集团控股有限公司(以下简称“阿里巴巴”）成功在美国证监会注册公开发行70亿高级无抵押美元债券并在新加坡证券交易所上市。金杜律师事务所担任承销商中国法律顾问。阿里巴巴本次总共公开发售超过70亿美元债券，期限分别为5.5年、10年、20年、30年和40年。此次债券发行交易创今年亚洲非银行企业美元债的纪录，而40年期也是中国非金融企业发债主体发行过的期限最长的美元债券之一。

King & Wood Mallesons (“KWM”) advised lead underwriters for Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (“Alibaba”) on its successful completion of SEC-registered public offering of USD 7 billion senior unsecured debt and the listing on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”) on 6 December, 2017, with tenure of 5.5 years, 10 years, 20 years, 30 years and 40 years. This offering sets the record of the Asian non-banking corporation’s USD debt this year. The 40-years debt is also one of the longest USD debt that a PRC’s non-financial corporation has ever issued. 

阿里巴巴是一家立足于中国本土的国际化互联网公司，旗下拥有领先业界的批发平台和零售平台。通过本次发行高级无抵押美元债，阿里巴巴印证了其在电子商务领域和互联网商业时代的领先地位和占领国际市场的势头。

Alibaba is an international Internet company based in China, operating a leading wholesale and retail platform. Through successful issuance of this senior unsecured USD debt, Alibaba demonstrates its leading position and strong development momentum in the e-commerce industry.
