Tencent Holdings Limited disclosed incremental capital changes and continued share repurchases in a Next Day Disclosure Return filed with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 3 June 2026.
Tencent issued 22,616 new ordinary shares on 3 June 2026 following the exercise of options granted under its 2023 Share Option Scheme. The weighted-average issue price was HK$301.49 per share. This lifted the company’s issued share capital from 9.11810 billion to 9.11812 billion shares, an increase of 0.00025%.
Concurrently, Tencent intensified its buyback programme. From 18 May to 3 June 2026, the company repurchased 11.84 million shares for cancellation, equal to 0.13% of the shares outstanding on the mandate date. The most recent transaction on 3 June involved 275,500 shares acquired on-market at prices between HK$461.80 and HK$462.80, for a total consideration of HK$127.40 million.
All repurchases were conducted under the general mandate approved on 13 May 2026, which authorises the company to buy back up to 911.80 million shares. The repurchased shares remain uncancelled as of the reporting date, leaving Tencent with zero treasury shares recorded in its balance. A 30-day moratorium on further equity issuance or treasury-share disposals is in place until 3 July 2026, pursuant to Hong Kong listing rules.
Post-transaction, Tencent’s issued share capital stands at approximately 9.11812 billion shares, pending the formal cancellation of the shares bought back during the period.
