Analysis · BILI · Technology
Bilibili has scheduled the shareholder vote needed to complete its $200 million repurchase of 13,591,090 Class Z ordinary shares from Tencent, part of the $700 million convertible notes deal announced September 4. The three WVR beneficiaries — Rui Chen, Ni Li, and Yi Xu — have signed irrevocable undertakings to vote in favor, and the company expects those votes alone to cover at least 75% of disinterested votes, making approval highly likely. The repurchase is settled entirely by set-off against Tencent's $200 million note subscription, so no cash changes hands. The independent board committee and independent financial adviser both recommend approval, citing the orderly exit it provides for Tencent's stake and the roughly 4% EPS accretion versus a standalone notes offering.
