AIA accelerates buyback, spending HKD 445.63 million on 5.16 million shares; 26.00 million shares pending cancellation

Bulletin Express05-19 17:44

AIA Group Limited disclosed that on 19 May 2026 it repurchased 5.16 million ordinary shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at prices ranging from HKD 85.90 to HKD 87.30 per share, for a total consideration of HKD 445.63 million. The volume-weighted average price was HKD 86.45.

The buyback leaves AIA’s issued share capital unchanged at 10.45 billion shares, as no new shares were issued during the period. Including the latest transaction, a cumulative 25.99 million shares—about 0.25 % of the current issued share base—have been repurchased in May 2026 but remain outstanding pending cancellation.

The purchases form part of the share-repurchase mandate granted on 23 May 2025, which authorises the company to buy back up to 1.07 billion shares. To date, 209.15 million shares—equivalent to 1.96 % of the issued share count when the mandate was approved—have been repurchased under this authority.

In accordance with listing rules, AIA is subject to a moratorium on issuing new shares or transferring treasury shares until 18 June 2026.
