Bulletin Express11-03 19:21

Foshan Haitian Flavouring and Food Company Ltd. released its Monthly Return for October 2026, confirming a stable capital base while continuing selective share repurchases on both its A- and H-share lines.

Authorised and Issued Capital • Authorised/registered share capital stood unchanged at RMB 5.84 billion, split between 5.56 billion A shares and 284.15 million H shares, each with a par value of RMB 1. • Issued H shares remained steady at 284.15 million, with no treasury shares held. • Issued A shares declined by 0.30 million to 5.53 billion following on-market buybacks, while A-share treasury stock increased to 27.62 million shares.

Share Repurchase Activity • On 30 October 2026, the company repurchased 0.30 million A shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange at an average price of RMB 34.55 per share. • Four separate H-share buyback transactions carried out under a 14 July 2026 mandate totalled 1.21 million shares at prices ranging from HKD 25.50 to HKD 27.44. These H shares are pending cancellation and therefore did not yet reduce the issued share count.

Public Float Compliance • The H-share public float represented 4.89 % of the class at end-October, translating to a market value of HKD 8.40 billion—well above the HKEX minimum threshold of HKD 1 billion for PRC issuers. The company confirmed full compliance with Main Board Rule 13.32D(1).

Key Takeaways Foshan Haitian maintained its overall capital structure while incrementally executing authorised share repurchases, primarily on its A-share line. The filing underscores continued adherence to Hong Kong listing requirements, with ample public float headroom supported by an H-share market capitalisation comfortably exceeding regulatory minima.
