BEA Adds 100,000 Shares Through Option Exercise in May 2026, Confirms Public-Float Compliance

Bulletin Express06-01

The Bank of East Asia, Limited (BEA) submitted its Monthly Return for the period ended 31 May 2026, disclosing a minor expansion of its issued share base driven by staff option exercises.

BEA’s issued ordinary shares (excluding treasury shares) increased by 100,000 to 2.64 billion as at 31 May 2026. The bank holds no treasury shares, leaving total issued shares unchanged at 2.64 billion.

All new shares originated from the Staff Share Option Scheme 2021. During the month, 100,000 options were exercised, while outstanding options under the scheme declined to 54.99 million. Outstanding options under the 2016 scheme remained at 9.43 million, and the newly approved 2026 scheme currently authorises up to 132.21 million shares for future grants.

Proceeds from May’s option exercise amounted to HKD 0.97 million. No warrants, convertibles, share buy-backs, or other equity-linked instruments were reported.

BEA confirmed that it continued to meet the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s minimum 25% public-float requirement as at 31 May 2026.
