H-SHARE STRUCTURE • Authorised/registered H shares remained at 465.88 million (par value: RMB1 each). • Issued H shares (excluding treasury) fell by 5.88 million to 458.71 million following market repurchases executed between 2–28 July. • Correspondingly, H-share treasury stock rose to 7.16 million, representing 1.56 % of total H shares in issue. • Repurchases were carried out on 13 trading days at prices ranging from HK$30.54 to HK$33.42, involving 5.88 million shares and an estimated cash outlay of about HK$188.46 million. • SF Holding confirmed that the 5 % minimum public float for its H shares was maintained.
A-SHARE STRUCTURE • Authorised/registered A-share capital stood unchanged at 4.80 billion shares (par value: RMB1 each). • During July, 160.16 million A shares were repurchased under the 2025 First A-Share Repurchase Plan for subsequent cancellation, but these shares had not yet been cancelled at month-end; issued and treasury A-share balances were therefore unchanged at 4.80 billion and zero respectively.
