Exhibit 99.1

JD Daojia and Dada to Merge, Forming Highly Integrated O2O Platform

Deal combines China's largest localized O2O supermarket platform
with the country's largest crowdsourced delivery network

        Beijing, April 15, 2016—JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:JD), China's largest online direct sales company, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement under which its O2O business, JD Daojia, will merge with Dada Nexus Limited, China's largest crowdsourcing delivery platform, to form a new company.

        Upon closing, the newly formed company will continue to operate its crowdsourcing delivery platform under the Dada brand. By leveraging the combined extensive crowdsourcing network of Dada and JD Daojia, the new company will provide low-cost delivery services to China's retailers, service providers and O2O enterprises, with increased efficiencies. The O2O supermarket platform will continue using the JD Daojia brand, leverage the expanded delivery network and focus on the location-based mobile commerce sector, cooperating with offline supermarkets, convenience stores and other local businesses to provide consumers the fastest premium shopping experience.

        Pursuant to the agreement, JD.com will receive approximately 47.4% of the new company's equity in exchange for the JD Daojia business, various resource support and $200 million in cash. Philip Kuai, CEO of Dada, and Zhijun Wang, President of JD Daojia, will serve as CEO and President of the new company, respectively. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2016, subject to certain closing conditions.

        Since launching in June 2014, with its innovative technology and deep understanding of China's logistics industry, Dada has quickly grown to become the leader in China's crowdsourcing delivery market. The company's network covers 37 key cities in China with a total of 1.3 million registered crowdsourced delivery people and average daily deliveries of over one million in peak seasons.

        Launched in April 2015, JD Daojia provides consumers two-hour delivery of products from local supermarkets and other partners through its location-based app. In its first 12 months of operation, JD Daojia has already become the leader in China's O2O supermarket industry, covering over three million customers in 13 cities.

        "This merger is a win-win cooperation and an important step forward in building a sustainable O2O ecosystem," said Richard Liu, CEO of JD.com. "JD Daojia and Dada's business are highly complementary, with the companies sharing a deep commitment to providing fast delivery service and excellent user experience. I am confident that the new company will continue to innovate and increase efficiencies, which will help to improve quality of life for consumers throughout China."

        "Dada is delighted to enter into this strategic cooperation, which marks a new phase of our business that will leverage our respective strengths to achieve greater efficiencies," said Philip Kuai, CEO of Dada. "We are grateful for the tremendous support that JD.com is providing, which will help drive the integration between JD.com's premium brand, user base and supply chain, and Dada's strength in delivery crowdsourcing. We are excited to further enhance product innovation and deliver a better and faster O2O service experience for users."
