AEON Credit: Public Float Climbs to 29.57% After FMR LLC Cuts Stake Below 10%

Bulletin Express08-20

AEON Credit Service (Asia) Company Limited reported that its public float has been restored to 29.57% following a small share sale by FMR LLC that reduced the latter’s holding to below the 10% threshold required to be classified as a substantial shareholder under Hong Kong Listing Rules.

On-exchange data show that FMR LLC disposed of 42,000 shares on 14 August 2026, trimming its interest to 41.85 million shares, or 9.99% of AEON Credit’s 418.77 million issued shares. As a result, FMR LLC is no longer deemed a core connected person of the company, and its shares now contribute to the public float calculation.

The transaction lifts AEON Credit’s public float from 19.57% to 29.57%, comfortably exceeding the minimum requirement set out in Rule 13.32B(1) of the Listing Rules.

Latest shareholding snapshot: • AEON Japan: 294.89 million shares, 70.42% • Public shareholders (including FMR LLC): 123.85 million shares, 29.57% • Director Lai Yuk Kwong: 30,000 shares, 0.01%

The board confirms compliance with all float requirements as of 20 August 2026.
