Bulletin Express06-03

On 3 June 2026, Kanzhun Limited filed a Next Day Disclosure Return with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, reporting marginal share issuance and continued execution of its share-repurchase mandate.

The company issued 34,600 Class A ordinary shares on 2 June 2026 following the exercise of employee share options at USD 3.1916 per share. This lifted the outstanding share count by 0.0036% to 840.57 million shares.

Since 20 March 2026, Kanzhun has repurchased 26.71 million Class A shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for cancellation. The latest tranche—8,200 shares bought on 2 June at USD 7.24–7.25—cost USD 0.06 million, taking total repurchases under the current mandate to 26.71 million shares, or 2.92% of the share base at the time the mandate was granted (27 June 2025).

The approved mandate allows for the buy-back of up to 91.61 million shares; 29.17% of that capacity has now been utilised, leaving approximately 64.90 million shares available for future repurchase.

All repurchased shares are marked for cancellation. After cancellation, Kanzhun’s issued share capital would fall from 840.57 million to roughly 813.86 million shares, a net reduction of about 3.18% versus the opening balance on 1 June 2026.

Pursuant to Hong Kong listing rules, Kanzhun is subject to a moratorium on new share issues until 2 July 2026 following its latest buy-back. Additionally, 561,502 Class A shares remain on deposit for the future issuance of American depositary shares tied to the company’s share incentive plans.
