BEIJING, Jan. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIDU and HKEX: 9888 (HKD Counter) and 89888 (RMB Counter)), ("Baidu" or the "Company"), a leading AI company with strong Internet foundation, today announced its proposed spinoff and separate listing of the H shares of Kunlunxin (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. ("Kunlunxin"), a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (the "Proposed Spin-off"). The Proposed Spin-off aims to independently showcase Kunlunxin's value, attract investors focused on the AI chip sector, and leverage its standalone listing to enhance its market profile, broaden financing channels, and better align management accountability with performance. This also supports the effort to unlock the value of Baidu's AI-powered businesses.

A listing application form has been submitted to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (the "HKEX") on a confidential basis to apply for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the H shares of Kunlunxin on the HKEX. Following completion of the Proposed Spin-off, it is expected that Kunlunxin will remain as a subsidiary of the Company.
