BEIJING (Reuters) — China's Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) Group said on Sunday it had decided not to participate in affiliate Ant Group's proposed repurchase of shares, but would maintain its shareholding in the company.
Ant Group announced a surprise share buyback of up to 7.6% of its equity interest earlier this month, a day after it was fined $984 million by Beijing for violating laws and regulations.
Online retail giant Alibaba, which spun off Ant 12 years ago retains a 33% stake.
