ES Services Buys Back 4.59 Million Shares; Outstanding Share Count Unchanged at 1.72 Billion Pending Cancellation

Bulletin Express05-07

Ever Sunshine Services Group Limited (“ES Services”) filed a Next Day Disclosure Return to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 7 May 2026 detailing the latest activity under its share-repurchase programme.

The company bought back 200,000 ordinary shares on 7 May 2026 at prices between HKD 1.99 and HKD 2.00, spending HKD 0.40 million. This lifted the running total of shares repurchased for cancellation since 31 March 2026 to 4.59 million, equivalent to approximately 0.27 % of the current issued share capital of 1.72 billion shares.

Across the 23 repurchase transactions conducted from 31 March to 7 May, ES Services has paid an aggregate HKD 8.82 million, implying a volume-weighted average buy-back price of about HKD 1.92 per share. All 4.59 million shares are still awaiting cancellation; once completed, the company’s issued share capital would decrease to roughly 1.72 billion shares.

Under the general mandate granted on 22 May 2025, ES Services may repurchase up to 172.86 million shares. To date, 10.55 million shares (0.61 % of the share base at the mandate date) have been bought back, leaving substantial room for further repurchases within the authorised limit.

In accordance with Hong Kong listing rules, ES Services is subject to a moratorium on issuing new shares or disposing of treasury shares until 6 June 2026. The board confirms that all repurchase activities complied with the applicable regulatory requirements.
