What Happened
Wu Maggie Wei, a director of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA), had restricted share units (RSUs) that vested and were settled into American Depositary Shares (ADSs) on Apr 1, 2026. The Form 4 reports conversion/exercise of derivatives (transaction code M) totaling 40,808 ordinary shares, which equals 5,101 ADSs (each ADS = 8 ordinary shares). The filings show $0 proceeds — this was a vesting/settlement event (not an open-market sale or cash purchase).

Context
- This is a routine RSU vesting/settlement event (derivative conversion), not an open-market buy or sale; $0 proceeds reflect settlement rather than a sale.
- For retail investors, vesting events increase insider-held shares but do not necessarily signal a change in the director’s view; they are often scheduled compensation events.
