Concurrently, 1,500 new shares (0.00026% of outstanding shares) were issued following the exercise of employee stock options granted under the Pre-IPO Share Incentive Plan adopted in November 2022. The options were exercised at an issue price of RMB 1.692 per share.
Since shareholders approved a repurchase mandate on 8 June 2026 for up to 58.30 million shares, the company has repurchased 6.05 million shares, representing 1.04% of the share base on the mandate date. Under Hong Kong listing rules, CaoCao is subject to a 30-day moratorium on new share issues or treasury-share sales, effective until 24 October 2026.
