Tencent Holdings Limited (Tencent) has disclosed marginal changes to its capital structure and the continuation of its share-repurchase programme in a filing to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange dated 13 October 2026.

Tencent’s issued share capital edged up by 8,245 ordinary shares following the exercise of employee stock options granted under the 2023 Share Option Scheme. The new shares, issued at a weighted average price of HKD 317.40 each, represent 0.00009 % of the 9.09 billion shares outstanding before the exercise. Tencent’s total issued shares (excluding treasury shares) now stand at 9.09 billion.

Concurrently, the company intensified its buyback activities. From 23 September to 13 October 2026, Tencent repurchased a cumulative 3.28 million shares for cancellation on the Hong Kong bourse. Daily repurchases ranged between 227,000 and 241,000 shares at volume-weighted average prices of HKD 416.53 to HKD 442.35 per share.

On 13 October 2026 alone, Tencent acquired 237,000 shares at prices between HKD 420.00 and HKD 425.40, for a total consideration of HKD 100.22 million. All shares bought back during the period remain uncancelled as of the disclosure date and will reduce the share count once formally retired.

Under the shareholder mandate approved on 13 May 2026, Tencent is authorised to repurchase up to 911.80 million shares. Aggregate repurchases since the mandate’s adoption have reached 49.99 million shares, equivalent to 0.55 % of the company’s issued share base at the time of authorisation. Pursuant to listing rules, Tencent faces a moratorium on new share issues or treasury share sales until 12 November 2026.
