Alibaba (BABA) Director Misra Kabir Receives 32,000-Share Award

What Happened
Misra Kabir, a director of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA), acquired 32,000 ordinary shares on September 23, 2026 pursuant to a restricted stock unit (RSU) award that vested that day. The Form 4 reports the acquisition at $0.00 per share (an award/vesting, not a purchase or sale). Per the filing, the 32,000 ordinary shares correspond to 4,000 American Depositary Shares (ADSs), since each ADS represents 8 ordinary shares.

Key Details

• Transaction type: Award/Grant (Code A) — RSUs vested and converted to shares.
• Transaction date: 2026-09-23; Form 4 filed: 2026-09-25 (filed two days after the transaction; appears timely under normal Form 4 rules).
• Shares acquired: 32,000 ordinary shares (reported as 32,000 shares @ $0.00). Equivalent to 4,000 ADSs (1 ADS = 8 ordinary shares).
• Reported value on Form 4: $0.00 (compensation/vesting); market value is not reported in this filing.
• Footnote: RSUs were granted and fully vested on Sep 23, 2026, subject to the award agreement (see F1).
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the provided filing details.

Context
This was a compensation-related vesting (RSU) event, not an open-market purchase or sale. RSU vesting is commonly part of director/executive compensation and does not by itself indicate the insider is buying or selling shares for investment reasons. The filing records the acquisition price as $0 because the shares were received upon vesting; investors who want an estimated dollar value can multiply the number of ADSs (4,000) by the ADS market price on Sep 23, 2026.
