腾讯第一大股东Prosus将以每股595港元的价格出售腾讯2%的股份，在这笔全球规模最大的大宗交易中筹集147亿美元。这笔交易似乎将成为有记录以来规模最大的大宗交易之一。请看本报周五的报道：

Shares of Tencent Holdings Ltd. edged lower in Hong Kong on Thursday after Prosus NV priced its placement of the Shenzhen-based Internet giant’s stock at the top end of a marketed range, raising HK$114.2 billion (US$14.7 billion) in the world’s second-biggest block trade on record.

Amsterdam-listed Prosus priced the deal at HK$595 per share, which represents a 5.5 percent discount to Tencent’s last close of HK$629.50, according to terms of the deal. The selldown is the second-biggest block trade, smaller only than the U.S. Treasury Department’s US$20.7 billion sale of American International Group Inc. shares in 2012.

报道中的block trade指“大宗交易”，指买卖双方以协议价格交易数量巨大的股票或者债券。各交易所对于大宗交易的定义各不相同，在A股市场，通常指单笔交易数量不低于30 万股，或者交易金额不低于200 万元人民币。
