CaoCao Inc. disclosed a series of equity movements for the period 7–15 May 2026 that collectively trimmed its free-float while adding a modest number of new shares through employee incentives.
On 15 May 2026 the company repurchased 341,400 ordinary shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at prices ranging from HKD 23.30 to HKD 23.50, for a volume-weighted average of HKD 23.46. The transaction cost totalled HKD 8.01 million and represented 0.06 % of the issuer’s pre-event share base. All repurchased shares are being held as treasury stock; none have been cancelled.
Concurrently, between 7 and 15 May 2026, employees exercising options under the November 2022 Pre-IPO Share Incentive Plan received 192,124 new ordinary shares at an exercise price of RMB 1.692 per share. The cumulative issuance accounted for 0.03 % of outstanding shares before the events.
After factoring in the buyback and option exercises, the company’s issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) declined to 582.69 million shares from 582.84 million, while treasury shares increased to 341,400. The authorised share-repurchase mandate—approved on 11 May 2025—allows for up to 54.42 million shares; the latest buyback utilises 0.06 % of that limit. Under Hong Kong listing rules, CaoCao Inc. is subject to a moratorium on further share issues or sales of treasury stock until 14 June 2026.
