Manulife Financial Corporation (Hong Kong secondary listing: MANULIFE-S) released its Monthly Return for the period ended 30 April 2026, detailing movements in share capital and confirming public float compliance.
The ordinary share count contracted to 1.67 billion, down 3.33 million from the preceding month. The decrease stemmed mainly from the cancellation of 3.67 million shares repurchased during April, partly offset by 0.34 million new shares issued on option exercises.
Option activity was concentrated under the Executive Stock Option Plan, where 0.34 million options were exercised, raising CAD 8.29 million in proceeds and trimming outstanding options to 4.96 million.
Authorised and issued levels for preference shares were unchanged: 80.20 million Class 1 Preferred Shares and 26.00 million Class A Preferred Shares remain outstanding.
The filing confirms that, as an overseas issuer with a secondary listing, Manulife meets the Exchange’s public-float requirements under the applicable exemption.
No movements were reported for warrants, convertibles, or treasury shares held, and no Hong Kong Depositary Receipts are outstanding.
