Bilibili launched a $500M convertible note offering (expandable to $575M) with a Delta Offering strategy to hedge investor positions using borrowed shares, alongside a $100M share buyback.

The share repurchase signals management confidence, while the Delta mechanism mitigates near-term stock pressure. Risks include potential 3-5% future shareholder dilution and increased leverage.

This secures exclusive rights to one of the world’s largest undeveloped copper-gold deposits, potentially accelerating exploration and development under Philippine government priority status. Positive aspects include preserved liquidity and strategic alignment, while risks involve 18.5% shareholder dilution upon conversion and market volatility pressures.
