Baidu, Inc.
Overview
We are the leading Chinese language internet search provider. As a technology-based media company, we aim to provide the best and
most equitable way for people to find what they are looking for. In addition to serving individual internet search users, we provide an effective
platform for businesses to reach potential customers.
Our Baidu.com website is the largest website in China and the fifth largest website globally, as measured by average daily visitors and
page views over the three months preceding the date of this prospectus, according to Alexa.com, an internet analytics firm. We are the most
used internet search provider in China, with our combined share of PC and mobile search page views standing at 71% in February 2015,
according to Analysys International, a market research firm. Our "Baidu" brand is ranked 5th in China in BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable
Chinese Brands 2015, a study published by WPP, a marketing communications company, and its subsidiary Millward Brown, a brand strategy
research firm. During the six-month period ended December 2014, approximately 92% of Chinese internet search users used the Baidu
internet search engine, according to the China Internet Network Information Center.
We serve three types of online participants and have achieved significant scale and diversity in our business:
Users. We offer a Chinese language search platform that enables users to find relevant information online, including web pages, news,
images, documents and multimedia files, and connect with services, such as group buying and takeout food delivery. We also provide a broad
range of products and services to enrich user experience and facilitate easy and quick search, including search products, social-networking
products, user-generated-content-based (UGC-based) knowledge products, location-based products and services, entertainment products,
security products, mobile related products and services, products and services for developers and webmasters and other products and services.
Our products and services can be accessed through PCs and mobile devices. We aspire to provide the best search experience to our users. To
this end, we have invested in advanced technology such as deep learning and semantic intelligence.
We offer a broad range of mobile products, including Baidu Mobile Search, Baidu Mobile Maps, Baidu Mobile Assistant, Baidu
Connect, Baidu Mobile Guardian, Baidu Mobile Browser, Baidu Nuomi, Baidu Takeout Food Delivery, Baidu Wallet and Baidu Yun. Baidu
Mobile Search enables users to access our products and services and to perform search on mobile devices via text, voice or image. Baidu
Mobile Search offers a user friendly and productive mobile internet search experience. As we continually improve our offering and strengthen
channel distribution, we have solidified our leading position in the mobile search market. Baidu Mobile Maps increasingly serves as a
gateway for users to conduct local searches. Baidu Mobile Maps further fulfills users' needs by directing searches to our own location-based
services, such as movie ticketing and food delivery, and it is also an open platform that integrates third-party partners' services for our users.

Analysys International, Baidu Mobile Maps has approximately 62% market share in terms of number of daily active users in the first quarter
of 2015. Baidu continues to be the leading player in mobile app distribution in China after the successful integration of 91 Wireless into the
Baidu platform, with 42% market share in China in the first quarter of 2015 according to Analysys International. Baidu Connect is a powerful
platform infrastructure that can generate sales leads and conduct customer relationship management. We launched this product in September
2014, and it is still in its early phases of development. We intend to broaden its rollout to create tangible, positive value for a larger set of
merchants in different industries.
Customers. We deliver online marketing services to a diverse customer base operating in a variety of industries. In 2014, we had
approximately 813,000 active online marketing customers, as compared to 753,000 in 2013 and 596,000 in 2012. In the three months ended
March 31, 2015, we had approximately 524,000 active online marketing customers, compared to approximately 446,000 in the three months
ended March 31, 2014. Our online marketing customers consist of small and medium enterprises, or SMEs, throughout China, large domestic
companies and Chinese divisions and subsidiaries of large, multinational companies. We reach and serve our customers through our direct
sales force as well as a network of third-party distributors across China. As many of our customers are SMEs, we use distributors to help us
identify potential SME customers, collect payments and assist SMEs in setting up accounts with us and using our online marketing services.
We believe that our mobile internet infrastructure has significantly improved over the past two years as we proactively educate customers
about mobile marketing and help them build and optimize mobile landing pages. We also have further improved our integrated bidding system
to better streamline the bidding experience for PC and mobile channels for our customers. We offer diversified mobile marketing formats that
deliver measurable and sustainable return on investments for our customers. Mobile revenues accounted for approximately 37% of our total
revenues for 2014 and 50% of our total revenues in the first quarter of 2015.
Baidu Union Members. Baidu Union consists of a large number of third-party web content and software providers. Baidu Union
members can display on their properties our customers' promotional links that match the content of such members' properties. Some Baidu
Union members also embed some of our products and services into their properties. We allow Baidu Union members to provide high-quality
and relevant search results to their users without the cost of building and maintaining advanced search capabilities in-house and to monetize
their traffic through revenue sharing arrangements with us.
Technology and people are critical to our long-term success:
Technology. We focus on research and development and innovation. To stay at the forefront of the internet industry and to achieve long-
term growth and success, we invest heavily in research and development. We have three labs under the umbrella of Baidu Research: the
Silicon Valley Artificial Intelligence Lab, the Beijing Deep Learning Lab and the Beijing Big Data Lab.
We have developed a proprietary technological infrastructure consisting of technologies for web search, mobile, pay-for-performance, or
P4P, targetizement and large-scale systems. We believe our established infrastructure, which serves as the backbone for both our PC and
mobile platforms, creates a significant competitive advantage for us.
We invest in mobile technology to better serve our users and customers. For our users, our mobile search technology enables superior
user experiences by providing relevant and accurate mobile search results and flexible mobile search input methods. For our customers, we
provide free tools to optimize landing pages for mobile devices, by analyzing the content and features and automatically converting to the
layouts suitable for mobile devices. We offer an integrated bidding system to streamline the bidding experience on both PC and mobile
channels. We also provide a series of mobile specific management and analytic tools to help our customers improve their return on
investments.

our organization.
We have a robust business model:
Online Marketing Services. We generate almost all of our revenues from online marketing services, a substantial majority of which are
derived from services based on search queries on our P4P platform for PC and mobile. Our P4P platform enables customers to bid for priority
placement of their links in keyword search results, and provides customers with wide reach, precise targeting capabilities, highly measurable
results and superior returns on marketing spending. We generally require our P4P SME customers to pay deposits before using our services
and remind them to replenish their accounts when needed. We also provide other forms of online marketing services, including contextual ads,
display placements and online video ads.
Revenue, Profit and Cash Flow. We have grown substantially by focusing on the organic growth of our core business, complemented by
strategic investments and acquisitions. Our total revenues in 2014 were RMB49.1 billion (US$7.9 billion), a 53.6% increase over 2013. Our
operating profit and net income attributable to Baidu, Inc. in 2014 were RMB12.8 billion (US$2.1 billion) and RMB13.2 billion (US$2.1
billion), respectively, representing a 14.4% and 25.4% increase over 2013. Our total revenues, operating profit and net income attributable to
Baidu, Inc. in the three months ended March 31, 2015 were RMB12.7 billion (US$2.1 billion), RMB2.2 billion (US$347.7 million) and
RMB2.4 billion (US$395.1 million), representing a 34.0% increase, a 9.2% decrease and a 3.4% decrease from the corresponding period in
2014, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 we generated RMB2.8 billion (US$458.1 million) net cash from operating
activities. As of March 31, 2015, we held a total of RMB58.0 billion (US$9.4 billion) in cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments.
Recent Developments
On June 10, 2015, our subsidiary Qunar Cayman Islands Limited, or Qunar, completed a public offering of 6,842,106 Qunar American
depositary shares, or Qunar ADSs. On June 17, 2015, Qunar issued US$500 million Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes, or the Qunar Notes,
in a private placement. The Qunar Notes bear interest at a rate of 2% per annum from the issuance date and will be convertible at any time, at
the holder's option, into Qunar ADSs, at an initial conversion price of US$55 per Qunar ADS, subject to adjustment under the terms of the
Qunar Notes.
As a result of the public offering of Qunar ADSs, our holding in Qunar has been reduced from 52.9% to 50.1% of the outstanding
ordinary shares and from 69.1% to 67.4% of the outstanding votes. If all of the Qunar Notes were converted into Qunar ADSs at the initial
conversion price of US$55 per Qunar ADS, our holding in Qunar would be reduced further to 46.9% of the outstanding ordinary shares and
65.3% of the outstanding votes.

Covenants
We will issue the Notes under an indenture with The Bank of New York Mellon, as
trustee. The indenture will, among other things, limit our ability to incur liens and
consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.
These covenants will be subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications
and the Notes and the indenture do not otherwise restrict or limit our ability to incur
additional indebtedness or enter into transactions with, or to pay dividends or make
other payments to, affiliates. For more details, see "Description of the Notes."
Payment of Additional Amounts
All payments of principal, premium and interest made by us in respect of the Notes will
be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future
Taxes (as defined in "Description of Debt Securities" in the accompanying prospectus)
imposed or levied by or within the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, the PRC
or any jurisdiction where we are otherwise considered by a taxing authority to be a
resident for tax purposes (in each case, including any political subdivision or any
authority therein or thereof having power to tax), unless such withholding or deduction
of such Taxes is required by law. If we are required to make such withholding or
deduction, we will pay such additional amounts as will result in receipt by each holder
of any Note of such amounts as would have been received by such holder had no such
withholding or deduction of such Taxes been required, subject to certain exceptions. See
"Description of Debt Securities--Payment of Additional Amounts" in the
accompanying prospectus.

become obligated to pay additional amounts in respect of such Notes as a result of
certain changes in tax law. See "Description of Debt Securities--Tax Redemption" in

issue additional Notes having the same terms and conditions as any series of the Notes
in all respects (or in all respects except for the issue date, the issue price and the first
payment of interest). Additional Notes issued in this manner will be consolidated with
the previously outstanding Notes of the relevant series to constitute a single series of
Notes of such series. We will not issue any additional Notes with the same CUSIP, ISIN
or other identifying number as any Notes issued hereunder unless the additional Notes
are fungible with the outstanding Notes of the relevant series for U.S. federal income
tax purposes.

will include all material information with respect to the delivery of the Notes in
definitive form, including details of the paying agent in Singapore.
