Key changes in share capital as disclosed in Tencent Holdings Limited’s Next Day Disclosure Return dated 24 June 2026 are summarised below.

1. New shares issued • Tencent allotted 63,834 ordinary shares on 24 June 2026 following option exercises under the 2023 Share Option Scheme adopted on 17 May 2023. • The weighted-average issue price was HKD 305.75 per share, implying proceeds of approximately HKD 19.53 million. • The transaction expanded the company’s issued share base by 0.0007 %, lifting outstanding shares to roughly 9.11 billion as at 24 June 2026.

2. Share repurchases on 24 June 2026 • On-market buybacks totalled 1.18 million shares at prices between HKD 414 and HKD 439, for an aggregate consideration of HKD 500.73 million. • All repurchased shares are intended for cancellation. The 30-day moratorium on new share issues or treasury-share sales therefore extends to 24 July 2026.

3. Pending cancellation of repurchased shares • Including the 24 June transaction, 17.28 million shares repurchased between 1 June and 24 June 2026 remain outstanding pending cancellation.

4. Progress under the 2026 repurchase mandate • Since the shareholders authorised the current mandate on 13 May 2026, Tencent has bought back 27.46 million shares, representing 0.30 % of the issued share capital on the mandate date. • The mandate permits repurchases of up to 911.80 million shares, leaving substantial capacity for further buybacks.

The board confirms that all share issuances and repurchases complied with Hong Kong Stock Exchange Listing Rules and relevant legal requirements.
