WeRide Inc. (WeRide, HKEX: 00800) filed its monthly return for August 2026, showing stable capital structure and continued adherence to Hong Kong Stock Exchange public-float rules.
Authorised Capital • At 31 August 2026, authorised share capital remained unchanged at 4.50 billion Class A weighted-voting ordinary shares and 0.50 billion Class B shares, each with a par value of USD 0.00001. Aggregate authorised capital therefore stayed at USD 50,000.
Issued and Treasury Shares • Issued Class A shares (excluding treasury) were steady at 932.05 million, while treasury holdings stood at 40.45 million, leaving total issued Class A shares at 972.51 million. • Class B issued shares also remained unchanged at 54.81 million, with no treasury stock. • No new shares were issued and no treasury shares were cancelled or re-issued during the month.
Public Float • The company reconfirmed compliance with the 15 percent minimum public-float threshold required under Main Board Rule 13.32B.
Equity Incentive Activity • 461,178 stock options under the 2018 Share Plan were exercised, raising USD 0.42 million in cash proceeds. The exercises were settled with shares previously issued to the depositary for ADS conversion, resulting in no fresh share issuance. • 33,402 options lapsed, leaving 89.94 million outstanding options under the 2018 plan. • The newly approved 2026 Share Plan remained unused for options but accounted for 3,036 share-awards granted during August. Potential future issuance capacity totals 95.19 million shares under the 2026 plan and 15.41 million shares under the 2018 plan.
Other Instruments • The company reported no outstanding warrants, convertible instruments, or other share-linked agreements beyond the disclosed share-option and share-award schemes.
Governance Note • Consistent with its dual-class WVR structure, WeRide indicated that no further grants will be made under the 2018 Share Plan following its Class A share listing on 6 November 2025.
Overall, August 2026 saw no dilution to existing shareholders, while equity-based incentive activity was serviced entirely from previously reserved stock, keeping WeRide’s issued share count and treasury balance intact.
