WuXi AppTec finalises RMB1.00 billion A-share buyback, retiring 9.70 million shares (0.33% of capital)

Bulletin Express17:06

WuXi AppTec announced the completion of its 2026 A-share repurchase programme on 25 June 2026. The company acquired 9.70 million A shares—equivalent to 0.33% of total issued share capital—through on-exchange trading, deploying RMB1.00 billion in self-owned funds.

The repurchase, authorised at the Board’s third meeting of the fourth session on 9 June 2026, capped the buyback price at RMB156.95 per share and set a 12-month execution window. Actual execution stayed comfortably within those limits: purchase prices ranged from RMB95.11 to RMB118.48 per share, yielding an average cost of RMB103.08.

Share count and structure remain unchanged at 2.98 billion shares; the repurchased stock is now held in a designated account and represents 0.33% of total equity. These shares are earmarked for the company’s employee stock ownership plan. Should any portion remain unused after three years, WuXi AppTec will cancel the balance in line with regulatory requirements. During the holding period the repurchased shares carry no voting, dividend or subscription rights.

No directors, senior managers or major shareholders traded in WuXi AppTec A shares from the first disclosure of the plan on 9 June 2026 through to completion. Management stated that the programme’s execution aligns fully with the original plan and poses no material impact on operations, financial position or listing status.
