2. Cumulative repurchases pending cancellation • From 24 March to 28 May 2026 the company bought back 45.10 million shares, or about 0.76 % of current issued share capital. • Transaction prices ranged from HKD 0.167 to HKD 0.190 per share.

3. Repurchase mandate utilisation • Shareholders authorised on 12 May 2026 a mandate covering up to 596.45 million shares. • Since that mandate date, 21.20 million shares have been repurchased, equating to 0.36 % of issued shares at the time, leaving approximately 575.25 million shares (96.4 % of the mandate) still available for buybacks.

The ongoing repurchases, executed at sub-HKD 0.19 per share, indicate sustained deployment of the board-authorised mandate ahead of its expiry.
