Tian Ge Interactive Holdings ( (HK:1980) ) just unveiled an update.

Tian Ge Interactive Holdings has seen its public shareholding fall to about 20.85% of issued capital after a mandatory cash offer, below the Hong Kong bourse’s minimum public float requirement and alternative threshold tied to a HK$1 billion market value. The company’s ability to swiftly restore float was constrained by takeover rules during a proposed partial cash offer from Sina, which ultimately lapsed without becoming unconditional.

Following the lapse of the partial offer, Tian Ge applied for and received a temporary waiver from strict compliance with the public float rules, effective from 8 January 2026 to 30 June 2026, giving it time to rectify the shortfall. The group plans to use its 2024 Share Scheme to grant awards to employees, which will count toward the public float and is expected to close the gap, a move that balances regulatory compliance with employee incentives and stabilises its market listing status.
