SHANGHAI, Sept. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bilibili Inc. (“Bilibili” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BILI and HKEX: 9626), an iconic brand and a leading video community for young generations in China, today announced the pricing of its offerings (the “Notes Offerings”) of US$700 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2031 (the “Notes”), including US$200 million of the principal amount of the Notes subscribed for in the Tencent Notes Subscription (as described below). The Notes have been made available only to non-U.S. persons that are “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Company plans to use the aggregate proceeds from the Notes Offerings in the following manner: (a) to fund the Concurrent Delta Repurchase (as defined below); (b) to fund the Concurrent Tencent Repurchase (as defined below); (c) for AI-driven growth, including but not limited to: (i) strengthen its AI capabilities in content comprehension, recommendation and creation, (ii) deepen user engagement with its high-quality content and community, and (iii) leverage AI to boost productivity and efficiency; and (d) for general corporate purposes.

Terms of the Notes

When issued, the Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes will mature on September 15, 2031, unless repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Holders may convert their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the seventh scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date at an initial conversion rate of 50.3374 Class Z ordinary shares per US$1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately HK$155.79 per Class Z ordinary share and represents a conversion premium of approximately 28.3% above the closing price of HK$121.40 per Class Z ordinary share of the Company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on September 4, 2026) and a premium of approximately 35.0% to the Reference Price, being the clearing share price of the Concurrent Equity Placement (each as defined below) of HK$115.38 per Class Z ordinary share of the Company, and is subject to adjustments customary for such securities. Upon conversion, subject to certain procedures and conditions set forth in the terms of the Notes, the Company will cause to be delivered the Company’s Class Z ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 per share.

The Company may redeem for cash all or any part of the Notes on or after September 28, 2029 if the last reported sale price of the Class Z ordinary shares (converted into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate as of such trading day) has been at least 130% of the conversion price for the Notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption (the “Optional Redemption”). In addition, the Company may redeem for cash all but not part of the Notes at any time if less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued remains outstanding at such time (the “Cleanup Redemption”). The Company may also redeem the Notes upon the occurrence of certain tax-related events (the “Tax Redemption”). Holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their Notes on September 15, 2029 or in the event of certain fundamental changes. In connection with certain corporate events or if the Company issues a notice of Optional Redemption, Cleanup Redemption or Tax Redemption, it will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their Notes in connection with such corporate event or such Optional Redemption, Cleanup Redemption or Tax Redemption.

The Notes will not bear regular interest, and the principal amount of the Notes will not accrete.

Tencent Notes Subscription

Tencent Holdings Limited (together with its subsidiaries, “Tencent”), through its subsidiary, has agreed to subscribe for US$200 million of the principal amount of the Notes, in addition to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of US$500 million that will be sold to investors other than Tencent through certain financial institutions acting severally as the initial purchasers in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act (the “Marketed Notes Offering”), on the same terms of the Notes and at the same initial offering price as offered in the Marketed Notes Offering (the “Tencent Notes Subscription”).

The closings of the Tencent Notes Subscription and the Concurrent Tencent Repurchase (described below) will be concurrent and subject to the completion of the Marketed Notes Offering, the shareholders’ approval at the EGM (described below) and other customary conditions precedent.

Concurrent Equity Placement

The Company also announced the pricing of the previously announced concurrent fixed-price offering of its 6,976,760 Class Z ordinary shares that are being borrowed from non-affiliate third parties and offered, on a several basis, by certain financial institutions acting as the initial purchasers of the Marketed Notes Offering (or their respective affiliates) (in such capacity, the “Concurrent Delta Offering Banks”) to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, at HK$115.38 per Class Z ordinary share (the “Concurrent Delta Offering” and such price, the “Reference Price”). The Concurrent Delta Offering Banks will use the resulting short positions to facilitate the establishment of initial short positions by certain investors subscribing for the Notes who employ a convertible arbitrage strategy (the “Convertible Arbitrage Investors”) to hedge their investments in the Notes. Such short positions may be established by Convertible Arbitrage Investors through sales of borrowed Class Z ordinary shares or synthetically through derivative transactions, in each case, to be facilitated by the Concurrent Delta Offering Banks. The number of Class Z ordinary shares subject to the Concurrent Delta Offering generally corresponds to such initial short positions of the Convertible Arbitrage Investors.

In addition to and concurrently with the Concurrent Delta Offering, Tencent (through its subsidiary) has offered and sold 26,374,900 Class Z ordinary shares at the Reference Price through a placing agent (the “Tencent Secondary Placement” and, together with the Concurrent Delta Offering, the “Concurrent Equity Placement”). All the shares in the Concurrent Equity Placement have been offered concurrently to the same category of investors and priced through the same bookbuilding process.

The Company will not issue any new Class Z ordinary shares in, or receive any proceeds from, the Concurrent Equity Placement. Tencent will receive the net proceeds from the Tencent Secondary Placement.

Concurrent Repurchases

The Company was allocated 6,795,540 Class Z ordinary shares offered in the Concurrent Delta Offering for purchase concurrently with the closing of the Marketed Notes Offering (the “Concurrent Delta Repurchase”).

The Company has also agreed to repurchase 13,591,090 Class Z ordinary shares (including in the form of American depositary shares) held by Tencent concurrently with the closing of the Tencent Notes Subscription (the “Concurrent Tencent Repurchase” and, together with the Concurrent Delta Repurchase, the “Concurrent Repurchases”). The purchase price in each of the Concurrent Delta Repurchase and the Concurrent Tencent Repurchase is the Reference Price, or HK$115.38 per Class Z ordinary share. The Company’s board of directors has authorized a separate special share repurchase program of up to US$300 million for the Concurrent Repurchases.

The Company has entered into an agreement with Tencent for the Tencent Notes Subscription and the Concurrent Tencent Repurchase. The Company expects to convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “EGM”) in the near future to seek approval of the Concurrent Tencent Repurchase by at least three-fourths of the votes cast by disinterested shareholders present at the EGM.

Other Matters

The Notes, the Class Z ordinary shares deliverable upon conversion of the Notes and the Class Z ordinary shares offered and sold in the Concurrent Equity Placement have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. They may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. persons except pursuant to registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any of these securities, nor shall there be a sale of the securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.

This press release contains information about the pending Marketed Notes Offering, the Tencent Notes Subscription, the Concurrent Equity Placement and the Concurrent Repurchases, as well as the proposed EGM, and there can be no assurance that any of these transactions will be completed or that the required shareholder approval will be obtained.

BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DeFi Development Corp. (Nasdaq: DFDV) (the “Company”), the first U.S. public company with a treasury strategy built around accumulating and compounding Solana (SOL), today announced the pricing of its initial public offering (the “offering”) on September 3, 2026 of 1,375,000 shares of the Company’s Variable Rate Series C Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “CHAD Stock”) at a public offering price of $8.00 per share. The Company has also granted the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 206,250 shares of CHAD Stock at the public offering price. The issuance and sale of the CHAD Stock is scheduled to settle on September 8, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Company estimates that the gross proceeds to it from the offering will be approximately $11.0 million, before deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the Company’s estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including, among other things, the acquisition of SOL and other digital asset-related investments, strategic transactions and growth initiatives.

The CHAD Stock will accumulate cumulative dividends at a variable rate (as described below) per annum on the stated amount of $10.00 per share (the “stated amount”) thereof. Regular dividends on the CHAD Stock will be payable when, as and if declared by the Company’s board of directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, out of funds legally available for their payment, each business day of each calendar month based on the applicable annual dividend rate. The first regular dividend payment will occur on October 1, 2026. The Company’s right to adjust the daily regular dividend rate per annum will be subject to certain restrictions. For example, The Company will not be permitted to reduce the daily regular dividend rate per annum that will apply to any regular dividend period by more than 50 basis points. The Company’s current intention (which is subject to change in The Company’s sole and absolute discretion) is to adjust the daily regular dividend rate per annum in such manner as the Company believes will maintain CHAD Stock’s trading price within its stated long-term range of $9.95 and $11.00 per share. Declared regular dividends on the CHAD Stock will be payable solely in cash. In the event that any accumulated regular dividend on the CHAD Stock is not paid on the applicable regular dividend payment date, then additional regular dividends (“compounded dividends”) will accumulate on the amount of such unpaid regular dividend, compounded monthly. The compounded dividend rate applicable to any unpaid regular dividend that was due on a regular dividend payment date will initially be a rate per annum equal to 25 basis points; provided, however, that, until such regular dividend, together with compounded dividends thereon, is paid in full, such compounded dividend rate will increase by 25 basis points per month for each subsequent regular dividend period, up to a maximum dividend rate of 20% per annum.

At the closing of the offering, the Company intends to establish a dividend reserve in an amount equal to the first 12 months of dividend payments (assuming dividend payments are made at a rate of 13.00% per annum) calculated as of the date of the offering by depositing $1.30 per share of CHAD Stock into a separate account funded by us with existing cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments and/or digital assets on hand.

The Company will have the right, at its election, to redeem all, or any whole number of shares, of the issued and outstanding CHAD Stock, at any time, and from time to time, on a redemption date on or after the first date on which the CHAD Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or The New York Stock Exchange (or any of their respective successors), at a cash redemption price per share of CHAD Stock to be redeemed equal to $11.00 (or such higher amount as may be chosen in the Company’s sole discretion, it being understood that such higher amount (or the formula to determine such higher amount) will be announced by prior public notice and/or set forth in the applicable relevant notice of redemption), plus accumulated and unpaid regular dividends, if any, thereon to, and including, the redemption date. The Company will also have the right, at its election, to redeem all, but not less than all, of the CHAD Stock, at any time, for cash if the total number of shares of all CHAD Stock then outstanding is less than 25% of the total number of shares of CHAD Stock originally issued in the offering and in any future offering, taken together (a “clean-up redemption”). In addition, the Company will have the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the CHAD Stock if certain tax events occur (a “tax redemption”). The redemption price for any CHAD Stock to be redeemed pursuant to a clean-up redemption or a tax redemption will be a cash amount equal to the liquidation preference (as described below) of the CHAD Stock to be redeemed as of the business day before the date on which the Company provides the related redemption notice, plus accumulated and unpaid regular dividends, if any, thereon to, and including, the redemption date.

If an event that constitutes a “fundamental change” under the certificate of designation governing the CHAD Stock occurs, then, subject to certain limitations, holders of the CHAD Stock will have the right to require the Company to repurchase some or all of their shares of CHAD Stock at a cash repurchase price equal to the stated amount of the CHAD Stock to be repurchased, plus accumulated and unpaid regular dividends, if any, to, and including, the fundamental change repurchase date.

The liquidation preference of the CHAD Stock will initially be $10.00 per share. Effective immediately after the close of business on each business day after the initial issue date (and, if applicable, during the course of a business day on which any sale transaction to be settled by the issuance of CHAD Stock is executed, from the exact time of the first such sale transaction during such business day until the close of business of such business day), the liquidation preference per share of CHAD Stock will be adjusted to be the greatest of (i) the stated amount per share of CHAD Stock; (ii) in the case of any business day with respect to which the Company has, on such business day, executed any sale transaction to be settled by the issuance of CHAD Stock, an amount equal to the last reported sale price per share of CHAD Stock on the trading day immediately before such business day; and (iii) the arithmetic average of the last reported sale prices per share of CHAD Stock for each trading day of the ten consecutive trading days (or, if applicable, the lesser number of trading days as have elapsed during the period from, and including, the initial issue date to, but excluding, such business day) immediately preceding such business day.

R.F. Lafferty & Co., Inc. is acting as sole book-running manager for the offering.

The offering is being made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The offering will be made only by means of a prospectus supplement and an accompanying prospectus. An electronic copy of the preliminary prospectus supplement (and when available, the final prospectus supplement), together with the accompanying prospectus, is or will be available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
