Tencent Holdings Limited reported a marginal change in its share capital on 19 August 2026, driven by a small staff option exercise and continued share repurchases under its existing buy-back mandate.

On 19 August 2026, 2,810 new ordinary shares were issued upon the exercise of employee options granted under the 2023 Share Option Scheme adopted on 17 May 2023. The weighted-average exercise price was HKD 314.17 per share. The issuance lifted Tencent’s outstanding share count by only 0.00003 %, bringing total issued shares (excluding treasury shares) to 9.10 billion.

In parallel, Tencent intensified its share repurchase programme. Across three trading sessions (17–19 August 2026) the company bought back a cumulative 2.03 million shares for cancellation, equivalent to 0.022 % of shares in issue before the transactions. Daily details are as follows: • 17 Aug: 0.67 million shares at an average HKD 446.84 • 18 Aug: 0.68 million shares at an average HKD 441.19 • 19 Aug: 0.67 million shares at an average HKD 446.04, costing HKD 300.19 million in aggregate

Under the repurchase mandate approved on 13 May 2026, Tencent may buy back up to 911.80 million shares. As of 19 August 2026, cumulative repurchases total 38.10 million shares, representing 0.42 % of the authorised limit.

Post-transactions, Tencent’s issued share capital stands at 9.10 billion shares. No treasury shares are held. The company is subject to a 30-day moratorium—expiring on 18 September 2026—during which it cannot issue new shares or dispose of treasury shares without prior Stock Exchange approval.
