GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

AND

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding resolutions to be proposed at the AGM regarding (i) the granting to the Directors of general and unconditional mandates for the issue and repurchase of the securities of the Company; and (ii) the re-election of Directors.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

1. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, grant a general mandate to Directors to allot, issue and deal with Shares of up to 10% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of passing the relevant ordinary resolution.

Details of the Share Issue Mandate are set out in Resolution 5 in the notice of the AGM set out on pages 16 to 19 of this circular. The Share Issue Mandate will expire upon whichever is the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or by law to be held; and (c) the date on which the authority given under the ordinary resolution approving the Share Issue Mandate is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders.

2. GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, grant a general mandate to Directors to repurchase Shares of up to 10% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of passing the relevant ordinary resolution.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued Shares was 9,123,863,279 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the total number of issued Shares between the period from the Latest Practicable Date and the date of passing the resolution approving the Share Repurchase Mandate, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate at the date of passing the resolution approving the Share Repurchase Mandate will be 912,386,327 Shares, which represent 10% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of passing the ordinary resolution.

An explanatory statement, giving certain information regarding the Share Repurchase Mandate, is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The Share Repurchase Mandate will expire upon whichever is the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or by law to be held; and (c) the date on which the authority given under the ordinary resolution approving the Share Repurchase Mandate is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with Article 87 of the Articles of Association, at each annual general meeting of the Company, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not greater than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation. Messrs Jacobus Petrus (Koos) Bekker ("Mr Koos Bekker") and Ian Charles Stone ("Mr Stone") will retire at the AGM and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election.

At the time of appointment as an independent non-executive Director, Mr Stone has confirmed his independence with reference to the factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. He has submitted to the Stock Exchange a written confirmation concerning his independence to the Company. Mr Stone has confirmed that there is no subsequent change of circumstances which may affect his independence which would require him to inform the Stock Exchange. The Company has received the annual confirmation of independence from Mr Stone based on the criteria set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.

In determining the proposal to re-elect Mr Stone as an independent non-executive Director, (i) the Nomination Committee of the Company has assessed and reviewed the annual confirmation of independence based on the criteria set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules provided by Mr Stone and considered that Mr Stone remains independent; (ii) the Board has assessed and is satisfied with the independence of Mr Stone; (iii) the Nomination Committee of the Company and the Board have reviewed the biography of Mr Stone and his past performance, and assessed his suitability for re-election based on his reputation for integrity and extensive experience in the telecom and mobile industries, having regard to the board diversity policy adopted by the Company; and (iv) the Board is satisfied that through exercising the scrutinising and monitoring function of an independent non-executive Director, Mr Stone has provided independent and objective judgement and advice to the Board to safeguard the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Mr Stone, a member of the Nomination Committee of the Company, has abstained from voting on his own nomination when it was considered.

Mr Stone was appointed as an independent non-executive Director in April 2004 and therefore will have served for more than 9 years as at the date of the AGM. The Nomination Committee of the Company and the Board have reviewed the past performance of Mr Stone in discharging his duties as an independent non-executive Director, including but not limited to reviewing the attendance records of meetings of the Board and its committees, and are satisfied that Mr Stone has actively participated in meetings, demonstrating the ability to exercise independent judgement and provide a balanced and objective view in relation to the Company's affairs. The Nomination Committee of the Company and the Board are also satisfied that Mr Stone meets the independence criteria set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and are not aware of any circumstances that are likely to call into question his independence as an independent non-executive Director. Accordingly, the Board is of the view that Mr Stone is independent and be recommended for re-election at the AGM.

Mr Stone is currently the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee and a member of the Audit Committee, the Corporate Governance Committee and the Nomination Committee of the Company. His in-depth knowledge of the telecom and mobile industries enables him to provide valuable and useful guidance to the Board.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Mr Stone has been continuously demonstrating firm commitments to his various roles. He places great importance on high standards of corporate governance. As a member of the Board with extensive knowledge and experience, the Board considers that Mr Stone’s professional expertise contributes to the diversity of the Board.

The Board considers that the proposed re-appointment of Mr Stone will bring considerable stability and significant contributions to the Board. Furthermore, in light of the factors mentioned above, the Board believes that Mr Stone possesses the character, integrity, independence and expertise necessary to continue fulfilling his role as an independent non-executive Director effectively and will continue to bring valuable experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board. Therefore, the Board recommends Mr Stone for re-election as an independent non-executive Director at the AGM.

Pursuant to the code provision set out in paragraph B.2.3 of Appendix C1 to the Listing Rules, any further appointment of independent non-executive directors serving more than 9 years should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by shareholders. Accordingly, the re-appointment of Mr Stone at the AGM will be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules.

Details of the biography of Mr Koos Bekker and Mr Stone are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

4. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

A notice convening the AGM is set out on pages 16 to 19 of this circular.

The procedures for conducting a poll at the AGM are set out in section 5 below.

A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed, a copy of which can also be downloaded from the website of the Company at www.tencent.com and the website of HKEXnews at www.hkexnews.hk. Whether you are able to attend the AGM or not, you are requested to complete the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the completed form of proxy to the Company’s branch share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, as soon as possible, and in any event so that it is received not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the AGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjourned meeting should you so wish.

Non-registered Shareholders whose Shares are held through Intermediaries will not receive a form of proxy directly from the Company and should consult directly with the Intermediary for any assistance regarding the appointment of proxy.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

If Shareholders have any questions relating to the AGM, please contact the Company’s branch share registrar as follows:

Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited
17M Floor, Hopewell Centre
183 Queen’s Road East
Wan Chai, Hong Kong
Telephone: (852) 2862 8555

5. PROCEDURES FOR POLL VOTING

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, at any general meeting, a resolution put to the vote of Shareholders shall be taken by poll except where the chairman of the AGM, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands.

Detailed procedures for conducting a poll are set out below and will also be explained at the commencement of the AGM.

The chairman of the AGM will exercise his right under Article 66 of the Articles of Association to demand for poll voting on all the resolutions as set out in the notice of the AGM.

For poll voting, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy or, in case of a corporate Shareholder, by its duly authorised representative shall have one vote for every fully paid Share in accordance with Article 66 of the Articles of Association.

Every Shareholder present in person or by proxy or, in case of a corporate Shareholder, by its duly authorised representative who is entitled to more than one vote need not use all his/her/its votes or cast all his/her/its votes in the same way. That means he/she/it can cast some of his/her/its votes in favour of the resolution and some of his/her/its votes against the resolution.

The branch share registrar of the Company will act as the scrutineer for the poll voting. The scrutineer will distribute a voting slip to every Shareholder in person or a proxy or duly authorised representative of a corporate Shareholder on registration of attendance at the AGM.

The chairman of the AGM will arrange for all the resolutions to be proposed and seconded first and then conduct the voting by poll on each of the resolutions at the end of the AGM.

After completion of the voting slips by the Shareholders, the scrutineer will collect the completed voting slips and then count the votes.

The results of the poll on all the resolutions as set out in the notice of the AGM in both English and Chinese will be published on the website of the Company at www.tencent.com and the website of HKEXnews at www.hkexnews.hk later on the date of the AGM.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

6. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) are of the opinion that all the proposed resolutions are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and so recommend you to vote in favour of all the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

Yours faithfully
Ma Huateng
Chairman

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This explanatory statement includes information required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders in connection with the proposed Share Repurchase Mandate.

(a) Listing Rules

The Listing Rules permit a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase its fully-paid up shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

(b) Shareholders' Approval

The Listing Rules provide that all on-market share repurchases by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by specific approval of a particular transaction or by a general mandate to the directors of the company to make such repurchases.

(c) Exercise of the Share Repurchase Mandate

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 9,123,863,279 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the Share Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued and no Shares are repurchased prior to the AGM, the Directors would be authorised under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase (through the Company or any of its subsidiaries) a maximum of 912,386,327 Shares, which represent 10% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of passing the ordinary resolution.

(d) Reasons for the Repurchase of Shares

The Directors believe that the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Repurchases of Shares may, depending on the circumstances, result in an increase in net assets and/or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking the grant of a general mandate to repurchase Shares to give the Company flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The timing and the number(s), the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the circumstances then prevailing.

(e) Source of Funds

Repurchases of Shares must be made out of funds which are legally available for such purpose in accordance with all applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Memorandum and Articles of Association. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase would be derived from the distributable profits of the Company.

There could be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025) in the event that the proposed Share repurchases were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or its gearing level.


APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

(f) Share Prices

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares had been traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the past twelve months up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Share Prices (per Share)
Highest HK$ Lowest HK$
2025
March 547.00 473.20
April 511.50 419.00
May 532.00 477.40
June 521.00 489.60
July 560.00 493.00
August 621.00 533.00
September 666.50 591.00
October 683.00 602.50
November 662.00 606.00
December 626.00 592.00
2026
January 639.00 594.00
February 604.50 510.50
March (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 578.00 476.00

(g) General

The Directors, so far as the same may be applicable, will exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Directors confirmed that neither this explanatory statement nor the Share Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features. The Directors have also confirmed not to repurchase any Shares if there is less than a minimum of 25% of the total number of issued Shares in public hands.

The Company intends to cancel all the repurchased Shares following the settlement of any such repurchase.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates, currently intends to sell the Shares to the Company in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected person has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell the Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of Shares.


APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

(h) Takeovers Code

If as a result of a Share repurchase, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders’ interest, could result in a change of control, and may in certain circumstances give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer for the Shares under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code if the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

(i) Shares Purchased by the Company

In the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has purchased a total of 67,990,000 Shares on the Stock Exchange, details of which are as follows:

Date of purchases Number of Shares purchased Price per Share
Highest price paid HK$ Lowest price paid HK$
