On 30 September 2026, Tencent Holdings Limited filed a Next Day Disclosure Return with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange detailing a reduction in its share capital driven by continued on-market repurchases and a small option exercise.

Tencent cancelled 2.55 million shares bought back between 8 and 22 September 2026. The cancellations equate to 0.028 % of the 9.10 billion shares outstanding at the period’s start. Based on the volume-weighted average repurchase prices disclosed for each trading day, the company spent an estimated HKD 1.10 billion, translating to an average cost of roughly HKD 430.70 per share.

Separately, on 30 September 2026 Tencent acquired an additional 234,000 shares on the Exchange at prices ranging from HKD 425.00 to HKD 432.20, for a consideration of HKD 100.32 million. These shares, together with a further 1.15 million repurchased between 23 and 30 September, remain pending cancellation; in total, 1.38 million shares (0.015 % of current outstanding shares) are awaiting removal from the register.

The company also issued 6,575 new ordinary shares on 30 September under its 2023 Share Option Scheme at a weighted average price of HKD 317.92, expanding the share base by an immaterial 0.00007 %.

After giving effect to the cancellations completed on 30 September, Tencent’s issued share capital fell to 9.09 billion shares, down from 9.10 billion on 29 September. Additional cancellations of the 1.38 million shares currently in repurchase escrow will further reduce the count once processed.

Since receiving its latest buyback mandate on 13 May 2026, Tencent has repurchased 48.09 million shares, equivalent to 0.53 % of the shares outstanding on the mandate date. The company still holds authority to repurchase up to 863.71 million additional shares. In accordance with Hong Kong listing rules, Tencent is subject to a moratorium on issuing new shares or selling any treasury shares until 30 October 2026.
