AIA Group Limited reported no change in its issued share capital on 27 April 2026, closing the period with 10.51 billion ordinary shares outstanding. However, the insurer continued its active share-repurchase programme.
Key developments:
• Fresh buyback on 27 April 2026: 1.97 million shares were repurchased on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at prices between HKD 81.40 and HKD 83.50, for a total consideration of HKD 163.50 million.
• Accumulated repurchases awaiting cancellation: From 30 March through 27 April 2026, the company bought back 55.08 million shares, representing approximately 0.52% of current issued capital.
• Mandate utilisation: Since the 23 May 2025 authorisation allowing the repurchase of up to 1.07 billion shares, AIA has acquired 181.32 million shares, equivalent to 1.70% of the share base at the mandate date. This leaves roughly 888.19 million shares—about 83% of the mandate—still available for future buybacks.
• Moratorium period: Under Hong Kong Listing Rule 10.06, AIA is restricted from issuing new shares until 27 May 2026, 30 days after the latest repurchase.
No treasury shares were held, sold or cancelled during the period, and the company confirmed that all repurchases complied with Hong Kong Stock Exchange regulations.
