Xiaomi Corporation (01810, XIAOMI-W) has signed an agreement with an independent broker to execute an automatic share buy-back of up to HK$4.00 billion on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, effective 19 June 2026. The initiative forms part of the HK$20.00 billion on-market repurchase programme first announced on 26 May 2026.
The broker—confirmed by Xiaomi as an unrelated third party—will conduct the repurchases within pre-set parameters and exercise sole discretion over trade execution. The mandate will cease on the earliest of: 1) 31 December 2026, 2) when the HK$4.00 billion limit is reached, or 3) early termination as stipulated in the agreement.
Regulatory framework • Transactions will adhere to Rule 10.06(2)(a) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the Stock Exchange’s Guidance Letter 117-23. • Xiaomi obtained a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 10.06(2)(e), allowing purchases during restricted periods, on the basis that the programme is irrevocable, non-discretionary and established outside any blackout window. • The company and broker will employ Chinese-wall arrangements to prevent the flow of inside information to trading personnel. • Xiaomi stated that the plan is not expected to trigger a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code.
Safeguards and structure 1. The agreement can be amended or terminated only outside restricted periods unless required by law. 2. All buy-back decisions rest exclusively with the broker, insulating trades from company influence. 3. Xiaomi’s market capitalisation and six-month average daily turnover exceed the thresholds set by GL117-23. 4. Repurchased shares will be cancelled upon completion.
Management view The Board described the automatic buy-back as a reflection of confidence in Xiaomi’s business outlook and a measure to enhance shareholder value.
Disclosure Details of repurchases will be reported via next-day disclosure returns in accordance with Listing Rules requirements. The company cautions investors that actual buy-back volumes will depend on market conditions and the broker’s discretion within the agreed limits.
