The 79% stake being sold is held by Alibaba subsidiaries, according to a filing with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. According to Bloomberg, the $1.6 billion will mark a $1.8 billion loss from when Alibaba doubled its stake in Sun Art for over $3 billion in 2020, a deal in which it was also legally represented by Fangda and Slaughter and May.
