MINISO Group Holding Limited (abbrev. MNSO) disclosed in its monthly return to Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited that 1.40 million new ordinary shares were issued in March 2026. This lifted the company’s issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) to 1.24 billion shares as of 31 March 2026, up from 1.24 billion at end-February. The authorised share capital remained unchanged at 10 billion shares with a par value of USD 0.00001 each (USD 0.10 million in total).
Key driver: The entire monthly increase stemmed from the vesting of 1.40 million restricted share units (RSUs) under the 2020 Share Incentive Plan. Following the latest issuance, 14.67 million shares are still reserved for future RSU grants, and a further 30.99 million shares remain available for potential option grants within the plan’s overall limit of 147.30 million shares.
Share buy-back status: Since August 2025, MNSO has repurchased a cumulative 8.88 million ordinary shares (including the Hong Kong-listed shares and U.S. ADS equivalents). These repurchased shares were pending cancellation as at 31 March 2026 and therefore are not yet reflected in the issued share balance.
Public float compliance: Despite the incremental issuance and ongoing buy-backs, the company confirmed compliance with the Main Board’s minimum public-float threshold of 25% of total issued shares.
Liquidity position: No treasury shares were held or transferred during the month, and no warrants or convertible securities were outstanding. The company raised no cash proceeds from option exercises in March, as the vested RSUs carried a zero exercise price.
Governance: Director Ye Guofu confirmed that all share movements complied with Hong Kong Listing Rules and relevant legal requirements.
