Zhihu Inc. director and Chief Executive Officer Zhou Yuan reported an internal share reclassification on July 28, 2026. Through MO Holding Ltd, he converted 371,436 Class B ordinary shares into 371,436 Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis, in line with Hong Kong listing rules as the issuer cancelled certain repurchased shares.
After the conversion, MO Holding Ltd is reported to hold 21,992,259 Class A and 14,862,319 Class B ordinary shares indirectly for Zhou Yuan. The paired transactions were coded as restructuring events and recorded at a price of 0.0000 per share.
Zhihu Inc. granted 2,226,711 restricted share units (RSUs) on July 13, 2026 to 30 employees under its Amended and Restated 2022 Share Incentive Plan, representing approximately 0.85% of total Shares in issue on a one share one vote basis, excluding treasury shares.
The RSUs have a purchase price of US$0.01 per unit, compared with market prices of HK$8.34 per Class A Ordinary Share in Hong Kong and US$3.26 per ADS in New York around the grant date. Vesting combines four-year schedules and shorter tranches granted principally in lieu of performance-based bonuses, with certain portions subject to performance targets and forfeiture provisions, including clawback on misconduct or termination. After this grant, 15,198,984 Shares remain available under the scheme mandate limit and 521,933 Shares under the service provider sublimit of the plan.
