For the month ended 30 April 2026, Tencent Holdings Limited reported a net reduction of 5.87 million ordinary shares, taking its issued share count (excluding treasury shares) to 9.12 billion. The contraction reflects the cancellation of 7.61 million shares previously repurchased in March-April, partially offset by 1.73 million new shares issued through employee option exercises.

The 2023 Share Option Scheme was the sole driver of new issuance. During April, 5.94 million options were exercised and 0.02 million lapsed, cutting outstanding options to 74.19 million. Tencent received HK$1.90 billion in cash proceeds from these exercises. As at month-end, a further 45.24 million shares remain available for future issue under the scheme, while the plan’s total potential over its life stands at 245.96 million shares.

Authorised share capital was unchanged at 50.00 billion ordinary shares with a par value of HK$0.00002 each, equivalent to HK$1.00 million. Tencent confirmed that its public float continues to meet the Main Board’s minimum 25% free-float requirement.

No movements were recorded during the month in respect of warrants, convertible securities, or other share-linked instruments outside the 2023 Share Option Scheme.
