On 25 March 2026, COSCO SHIPPING Holdings Co., Ltd. executed an on-market repurchase of 2.20 million H-shares, paying between HKD 14.80 and HKD 15.27 per share. The transaction’s aggregate consideration amounted to HKD 32.91 million.
Including the 0.73 million shares bought on 23 March and 2.20 million shares on 24 March that are still pending cancellation, the company now holds 5.13 million shares awaiting cancellation. These repurchased shares represent 0.18% of the 2.76 billion shares outstanding when the current buyback mandate was approved on 28 May 2025.
Despite the repurchases, total issued H-shares stood unchanged at 2.76 billion as of 25 March 2026, as cancellation has not yet been completed. Under the existing mandate, COSCO SHIPPING Holdings is authorised to buy back up to 287.98 million shares, leaving significant capacity for further purchases.
In accordance with Hong Kong Stock Exchange rules, the company is subject to a 30-day moratorium on issuing new shares or transferring treasury shares until 24 April 2026.
