Bulletin Express06-26

Keep Inc. disclosed a fresh share repurchase executed on 26 June 2026 under its Hong Kong Stock Exchange mandate.

Key takeaways 1. Latest buyback: The company acquired 400,000 ordinary shares on the Exchange at between HKD 1.75 and HKD 1.95, paying a total of HKD 0.74 million. The volume-weighted average price was HKD 1.85, and the purchase equates to 0.08% of the share capital outstanding before the transaction. All repurchased shares are being held as treasury stock.

2. Share capital movement: • Issued shares (excluding treasury shares) fell to 500.00 million from 500.40 million. • Treasury shares increased to 10.27 million, keeping total issued shares unchanged at 510.28 million.

3. Mandate utilisation: • The repurchase was made under a mandate approved on 4 June 2026 that allows up to 50.24 million shares to be bought back. • Cumulative buybacks since the mandate now stand at 2.41 million shares, representing 0.48% of the issued share base on the mandate date, leaving authority for a further 47.83 million shares.

4. Pending cancellations: Keep still holds 3.52 million previously repurchased shares that are earmarked for cancellation, equal to roughly 0.70% of current issued shares.

5. Moratorium on new issues: In line with HKEX rules, the latest on-market repurchase triggers a 30-day moratorium on any new share issuance or treasury-share disposal, effective until 26 July 2026.

The board confirms that all repurchase actions complied with Hong Kong listing regulations and the company’s approved repurchase mandate.
