Bulletin Express07-07

KE Holdings Inc. (abbreviation “BEKE-W”) filed its monthly return for the period ended 30 June 2026, detailing sizeable capital-structure moves driven mainly by share buy-backs, cancellations and an ongoing equity incentive programme. Key takeaways follow:

Authorised capital unchanged • Authorised share capital stood at USD 0.50 million, comprising 24.11 billion Class A WVR ordinary shares and 0.89 billion Class B WVR ordinary shares; no changes occurred during the month.

Issued-share contraction • Class A issued shares fell from 3,356.59 million to 3,326.49 million—down 30.11 million, or roughly 0.90 %. • Class B issued shares declined from 137.18 million to 135.95 million, reflecting a 1.23 million one-for-one conversion into Class A shares. • Total issued share reduction was therefore 31.34 million for the month.

Buy-back and cancellation activity • On 8 June 2026, 31.34 million previously repurchased Class A shares were cancelled. • During the month the company repurchased, but had not yet cancelled, an additional 16.27 million Class A shares in multiple tranches on both the New York Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Exchange. • Two Class A shares were surrendered and cancelled under a share-surrender deed.

Equity incentive programme • 322,026 options under the 2018 Share Option Plan were exercised, reducing outstanding options in that plan to 7.11 million. • No new shares were issued from the 2020 Share Incentive Plan, which still allows up to 127.22 million shares for future grants. • Outstanding restricted share units under the 2020 plan could deliver a further 70.80 million Class A shares. • Option exercises generated USD 6.44 in proceeds.

Public-float compliance • The company confirmed compliance with the Main Board’s minimum 25 % public-float requirement for its Class A shares as at 30 June 2026.

The filing provides no guidance or commentary beyond the mechanics of the month’s equity movements.
