HBM Holdings Reports Marginal Share Increase and Confirms Public-Float Compliance for March 2026

HBM Holdings Limited released its Monthly Return for Equity Issuer for the period ended 31 March 2026, detailing minor changes in its share capital structure and confirming full compliance with Hong Kong Stock Exchange public-float requirements.

Authorised Capital • The company’s authorised share capital remained unchanged at 20.00 billion ordinary shares with a par value of USD 0.000025 each, representing total authorised capital of USD 0.50 million.

Issued and Treasury Shares • As of 31 March 2026, issued shares (excluding treasury) totalled 869.85 million, up by 259,000 shares month-on-month following option exercises. • Treasury shares stood unchanged at 25.94 million, maintaining total issued shares (including treasury) at 895.79 million. Treasury stock therefore accounts for approximately 2.90 % of total issued shares. • The 259,000-share increase represents a 0.03 % expansion in outstanding share capital versus February 2026.

Share Option Activity • Under the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme approved on 23 November 2020, 259,000 options were exercised during March, driving the month’s entire increase in issued shares. • Options outstanding at month-end declined to 38.77 million, while a further 29.22 million shares remain available for future grants under the scheme. • No new funds were raised from these option exercises, as the exercise price generated zero Hong Kong-dollar proceeds according to the filing.

Share Award Scheme • The Post-IPO Share Award Scheme, also approved on 23 November 2020, reported no share issuance or treasury share transfers in March. • Up to 28.49 million shares remain available for future allocation under this programme.

Share Repurchases Pending Cancellation • The company still carries 406,000 shares previously repurchased on 6 June 2024 that are awaiting formal cancellation. No additional repurchase activity occurred in March.

Public Float Confirmation • HBM Holdings affirmed that it satisfied the Main Board’s minimum 25 % public-float requirement as of 31 March 2026.

Overall, the March filing reflects stable capital metrics for HBM Holdings, marked by a modest 259,000-share increase tied solely to employee option exercises, unchanged authorised capital, and adherence to HKEX listing obligations.
