Tencent’s major shareholder denies selling stake to CITIC
On November 1, Prosus, the largest shareholder of Tencent Holdings and the Dutch subsidiary of Naspers Group in South Africa, issued a statement saying that an article published by Asian Tech Press on October 31 stated that CITIC Group was negotiating with Naspers to acquire the company. All Tencent Holdings shares held by it. Asia Tech said the article was speculative and untrue. CITIC Group also said through the media that the reports were untrue.
Although foreign capital is a major shareholder, Tencent has always been run by a management team controlled by the founder and is a private company. If foreign capital chooses to sell to CITIC Group, it means that state-owned capital will become a major shareholder, which may break the current operating system, so the outside world is highly concerned about this matter.
