Bulletin Express11-05

FWD Group Holdings Limited reported to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that there were no changes to its capital structure during October 2026.

• Authorised capital stood at 1.70 billion ordinary shares with a par value of USD 0.03 each, representing total authorised capital of USD 51.00 million—unchanged from the previous month.

• Issued share capital remained at 1.28 billion shares, and the company continued to hold zero treasury shares.

• FWD confirmed compliance with the Main Board’s minimum public-float requirement of 25% of issued shares.

• Although no new shares were issued in October, the company still has capacity to issue or transfer up to 104.57 million shares under the Share Award Plan and Employee Share Purchase Plan (both adopted 30 January 2022). An additional 15.63 million shares may be issued to satisfy awards previously granted under the 2017 Share Option and RSU Plan, taking total potential future issuance under existing employee incentive schemes to roughly 120.20 million shares.

• The month saw no activity in warrants, convertibles, or other share classes.

Overall, FWD’s equity base and free-float position remained stable through October 2026, while significant headroom persists for future share issuance linked to employee compensation programmes.
