China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited disclosed on 8 July 2026 that it repurchased an additional 8.18 million A-shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange at RMB 3.66–3.68 per share, deploying RMB 30.00 million. The shares are earmarked for cancellation rather than for treasury purposes.

Following the latest transaction, cumulative A-shares bought back since 5 June 2026 have reached 31.21 million, representing approximately 0.14 % of the company’s total issued share capital of 22.09 billion shares (comprising 17.02 billion A-shares and 5.06 billion H-shares). Based on the disclosed prices, the aggregate cash outlay for the programme stands at around RMB 118 million.

The Next Day Disclosure Return confirms that there were no changes in issued share capital during the period under review; issued shares (excluding treasury shares) remained at 17.02 billion A-shares as at both the opening (7 July 2026) and closing (8 July 2026) balance dates. All repurchased shares listed in the filing are awaiting cancellation, which will subsequently reduce the outstanding share count. No new treasury shares were created, and the H-share structure was unchanged.
