Tencent announced at noon that its main shareholder Naspers and its subsidiary Prosus announced a long-term and open buyback plan to sell Naspers's Tencent shares in an orderly manner in order to raise funds for the buyback plan.
Naspers said it expected that the number of shares sold each day would account for a small portion of the average daily turnover of Tencent shares, and that if Naspers implemented a buyback plan within the past three months in compliance with European regulatory restrictions, the average daily sales of Tencent shares would not exceed Tencent's average daily turnover of about 3 to 5 per cent. The board of directors and the board of Prosus are full of confidence in Tencent's long-term prospects, and the implementation of the buyback plan will lead Naspers to increase its exposure to Tencent on a per-share basis, and that Tencent has expressed support for Prosus to withdraw its voluntary restrictions on the sale of its Tencent shares.
