First of all: On February 1 2005, China Industrial and Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. and South African standard bank group ltd Co., Ltd. completed the delivery procedures for acquiring 60% equity of Standard Bank Public Limited. From this point of view, ICBC is indeed the major shareholder of Standard Bank of South Africa, no doubt.
Secondly, let's take a look at the changes in Tencent's shares. In the early days of Tencent's venture (about 1999), Ma and his team held 60% of the shares, while Hehe each held 20% of Tencent's shares. In exchange, they invested $2.2 million in Tencent. In June, 20001,PCCW sold its 20% stake in Tencent at the price of12.6 million USD, which was taken over by South African MIH Milad International Holding Group. Since then, MIH Milad Group Company has acquired 12.8% of Tencent shares from IDG. At this time, Tencent's shareholding structure is 60% of Tencent team, 32.8% of MIH group and 7.2% of IDG 7.2% In June 2002, MIH Group once again purchased 65,438+03.5% equity from the founders other than Tencent Holdings Ma. At this time, Tencent's shareholding structure was changed to Tencent and its cooperative entrepreneurs accounting for 46.5%, MIH accounting for 46.3% and IDG accounting for 7.2%. In August 2003, due to the listing, Tencent adjusted its shareholding structure. At the same time, 7.2% of IDG's shares were fully recovered and a small number of shares were repurchased from MIH. At this time, Tencent and MIH hold 50% of the shares. In 2004, Tencent IPO issued 420 million public shares, which diluted the original shareholder ratio by increasing the share capital. 12 The shareholding ratio of natural persons and MIH in Tencent decreased from 50% to 37.5% respectively. On August 3rd of the same year, ABSA Bank announced that it held 654.38+85 million shares of Tencent, accounting for 10.43% of the issued shares. At this point, Tencent's shareholding structure has become: Tencent and its founders account for 37.5%, MIH set is 37.5%, and Absabababbank10.43%. Among them, Ma Hua Teng personally holds about 14.43%. As can be seen from the list of shareholders of Tencent, apart from Tencent's own family, the largest shareholder of Tencent is indeed MIH Group, so the next focus is the major shareholder MIH Group. Is this the Standard Bank of South Africa?
Thirdly, in 2002, the minority shareholders of two listed companies under the South African Newspaper Group, MIHH Holdings (MIHH) and MIHL Limited (MIHL), exchanged their shares for Naspers, and listed on NASDAQ in the form of ADS (American Depositary Shares), which was originally listed on NASDAQ. Since 2002, "MIH Holdings" and "MIH Limited" have been wholly-owned subsidiaries of South African newspapers. The so-called wholly-owned subsidiary, of course, there is no possibility of South African Standard Bank holding shares.
In 2002, South African newspapers held 70.95% of the shares of MIH Holding Company, while the public circulating outside held less than 30%. MIH Holdings holds 54.42% of the shares of MIH Limited, and South African newspapers directly hold 3.54% of the shares of MIH Limited, which adds up to about 58%. Minus the shares held by institutional investors marked in the two figures, the circulating shares held by the public are 365,438+0.73%.
