See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information about our non-GAAP financial results.
The Company is unable to include a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP results to the corresponding GAAP measures as this is not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and low visibility with respect to the impact of transaction, integration and restructuring expenses, share-based awards, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and other items that are excluded from these non-GAAP measures. The Company expects the variability of the above charges to have a potentially significant impact on its GAAP financial results.

</ul>
Overview
In July 2020, Ant Group announced plans for a record-breaking $35 billion IPO, poised to drive significant growth for Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), which held a 33% stake. However, regulatory concerns over Ant's business model, ownership structure, and compliance with new fintech rules led to the IPO's abrupt suspension in November, just days before its launch. The fallout caused Alibaba's shares to plummet, erasing billions in market value, and triggered an antitrust investigation into its monopolistic "Choose One of Two" practices. In response, investors filed a class-action lawsuit, accusing Alibaba of failing to disclose critical regulatory risks. Recently, Alibaba agreed to pay $433.5 million to affected shareholders to settle this lawsuit.
SAMR's Crackdown on Alibaba: Legal and Regulatory Implications
As Alibaba's market dominance and access to vast consumer data grew, the Chinese government expressed rising concerns about its economic impact. In response, the SAMR introduced new anti-monopoly regulations on September 1, 2019, targeting practices by powerful companies like Alibaba. 
On November 5, SAMR convened a meeting with around twenty major e-commerce firms, warning that practices like "Choose One of Two" were illegal and must stop.&nbsp;
While Alibaba did not deny using such practices, it dismissed the criticism as "slander" and "malicious hype" in a press statement. Under growing regulatory pressure, however, the company eventually committed to compliance, acknowledging potential scrutiny for future violations.
Despite the clear warnings, Alibaba continued its anti-competitive behavior. In November 2020, the government introduced new regulations specifically targeting monopolistic behavior in the internet industry, with Alibaba as a primary focus. 
This announcement triggered a sharp 9% drop in Alibaba's share price on November 10, 2020. By December, SAMR launched a formal investigation, which ultimately found Alibaba guilty and resulted in a record $2.8 billion fine.&nbsp;
Political Risk and the Hidden Investors Behind Ant&#8217;s IPO
Ant Group was spun off from Alibaba in 2011. Jack Ma controlled 50.5% of Ant's shares, while Alibaba held a 33% stake.&nbsp;
On July 20, 2020, Alibaba announced Ant&#8217;s IPO, aiming to raise a record $35 billion with a $300 billion valuation, sparking excitement among investors, as Alibaba's stake could be worth over $100 billion.&nbsp;
However, the enthusiasm was short-lived, as the company revealed in November 2020 that the IPO had been abruptly suspended.
The suspension was largely driven by Ant's attempt to bypass financial regulations. Although operating as a financial services company, Ant positioned itself as a tech firm to avoid traditional banking rules. Its high-risk lending activities, with leverage ratios of 50-60 times, raised serious concerns among regulators. In response, China introduced new rules in September 2020, requiring financial holding companies like Ant to maintain higher capital levels, further intensifying scrutiny. Jack Ma's criticism of regulators in an October speech further fueled tensions.
Another major risk to the IPO was the hidden identities of private investors whose interests conflicted with those of Chinese President. These investors concealed their ownership through complex and opaque investment structures. Jack Ma was reportedly aware of the political risks tied to these undisclosed ownership interests but failed to address them transparently. When the Chinese government uncovered the identities of these investors during an investigation prior to the Ant IPO, it decided to halt the offering entirely.
As a result of the undisclosed information, the share price of Alibaba dropped from $310 on November 2, 2020, to $222 on December 24, 2020, indicating a total fall of 29%.&nbsp;
Following these events, investors accused Alibaba of failing to disclose the regulatory risks tied to Ant Group and its monopolistic practices, leading to a lawsuit against the company.
Resolving the Case
To resolve the lawsuit from investors, Alibaba has agreed to a cash settlement of $433.5 million. If you invested in Alibaba, you may be eligible to <a href="https://11thestate.com/cases/alibaba-investor-settlement">claim a portion</a> of this settlement to recover your losses.
Despite these efforts, Alibaba&#8217;s stock remains below its peak, trading at $85.

In August 2024, China's market regulator announced that Alibaba had completed three years of "rectification" for monopolistic behavior. Alibaba called the announcement a "new starting point for development" and pledged to continue fostering the healthy growth of the platform economy.

The term "metaverse" was one of the top trends in 2021 with companies and cryptocurrencies related to the term seeing soaring valuations. While interest in the metaverse has fallen off in recent years, two cryptocurrencies with ties to the metaverse were among the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/top-metaverse-coins">top gainers of the past week.</a>
What Happened: The Sandbox (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sand/usd">SAND</a>) and Decentraland (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/mana/usd">MANA</a>) cryptocurrencies are among the biggest movers of the last week, gaining 107% and 57%, respectively, over the last seven days, which comes as interest in the metaverse <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/24/11/42172802/nfts-metaverse-derided-rightly-but-experts-see-bright-future-ahead" target="_blank" rel="noopener">could be growing once again.</a>
The two coins are connected to virtual worlds and were high performers in 2021 and 2022 as interest in virtual land and metaverse-related companies and cryptocurrencies soared.
While the prices of the coins are down sharply from all-time highs set in November 2021, the recent gains have the coins hitting new levels not seen in some time.
The Sandbox coin is up 27% over the last day to $0.7294, making it one of the top gainers in the last 24 hours. The coin has traded between $0.2098 and $0.8493 over the last year, with the yearly high recently hit in the past week. The all-time high for the coin is $8.44, set on Nov. 25, 2021.
The Decentraland coin is up 11% over the last day to $0.6532, making it one of the top gainers in the last 24 hours. The coin has traded between $0.2181 and $0.8185 over the last year. Over the past week, it hit new monthly highs of $0.7731. The all-time high for the coin is $5.90, set on Nov. 25, 2021.
Investors who bought the metaverse-related coins in 2021 could have generated a nice profit throughout the year and into 2022. Here's a look at their stake if they held.

Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood took the other side and said the metaverse was in the early stages of development at the time.
