BOSS Zhipin Sees Modest Equity Expansion in May; Total Outstanding Shares Rise to 967.03 Million

Bulletin Express06-04 18:23

KANZHUN LIMITED (BOSS Zhipin-W, HKEX: 02076) filed its Monthly Return for Equity Issuer for the period ended 31 May 2026, confirming a slight increase in issued capital driven by employee incentive plans while maintaining full compliance with Hong Kong’s public-float requirements.

The company’s authorised share capital remained unchanged at USD 200,000, representing 1.80 billion Class A and 0.20 billion Class B weighted voting right (WVR) ordinary shares, each with a par value of USD 0.0001.

Issued share movements were modest. Class A shares rose by 78,500 during May, taking the total to 840.50 million. Class B shares were stable at 126.53 million. Consequently, total outstanding shares (excluding treasury shares) stood at 967.03 million. No treasury shares were held, and management affirmed that the public float comfortably exceeded the 25 % threshold mandated by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Equity expansion stemmed entirely from employee equity incentives. Under the 2020 Share Incentive Plan, 58,500 stock options were exercised, generating USD 0.30 million in proceeds and reducing outstanding options under this plan to 27.19 million. In addition, 20,000 restricted share units vested and were settled during the month. The Post-IPO Share Scheme recorded no option exercises, leaving 120,000 options outstanding and 48.94 million shares available for future grants. Combined, the two plans still permit the issuance or transfer of up to 49.06 million Class A shares.

There were no new share repurchases in May. The previously announced 26.70 million Class A shares bought back on 27 June 2025 remain pending cancellation.

KANZHUN’s latest filing, submitted on 4 June 2026, indicates a stable capital structure with limited dilution and ongoing adherence to regulatory requirements.
