Tencent Holdings Limited (Tencent) reported a marginal increase in its issued share base for October 2026, while confirming that recent buybacks remain pending cancellation.

Tencent’s authorised share capital was unchanged at 50.00 billion ordinary shares with a par value of HKD 0.00002 each, equivalent to HKD 1.00 million.

Issued share capital rose by 39,234 shares to 9.09 billion following option exercises under the 2023 Share Option Scheme. The company received HKD 12.30 million in cash proceeds from these exercises. As at 31 October 2026, 74.95 million options were outstanding, enabling the potential issue or transfer of up to 48.91 million shares, while the scheme still allows grants over an additional 244.01 million shares.

Separately, Tencent repurchased 3.76 million ordinary shares between 23–30 September and 2–15 October 2026. The shares, earmarked for cancellation, had not yet been removed from the register as of month-end.

The company confirmed that its public float comfortably exceeded the 25% minimum stipulated by Hong Kong listing rules. No changes were recorded in treasury shares, and there were no movements related to warrants, convertible securities, or other share-issuing agreements during the period.
