Esprit Holdings (00330) reported no changes in either its authorised or issued share capital for the month ended 30 September 2026, according to the company’s monthly return filed on 2 October 2026 with Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited.
Authorised and Issued Capital • Authorised share capital remained unchanged at 30.00 billion ordinary shares with a par value of HKD 0.10 each, equivalent to HKD 3.00 billion. • Issued shares totalled 283.08 million, identical to the August 2026 closing balance. The company held no treasury shares.
Public Float Compliance • Esprit confirmed compliance with the Main Board’s minimum public-float requirement of 25%, signalling that at least one-quarter of its issued shares were held by public investors as at 30 September 2026.
Share-Based Incentive Schemes • Outstanding options under the 2009 and 2018 Share Option Schemes stood at 510,119 and 136,733 respectively, bringing total outstanding options to 646,852. • The 2018 scheme still permits the future issue of up to 28.31 million additional shares, while the 2009 scheme has no further grant capacity. • No options were exercised, and consequently, Esprit’s issued share count and cash position were unaffected during the month.
Other Securities • The company reported no warrants, convertible securities, or other arrangements that could impact the share count, nor any repurchases or cancellations of shares in September.
Governance Confirmation • The filing was signed by Company Secretary Man Wai Chuen, who affirmed that all regulatory, legal and listing-rule requirements related to the company’s securities have been duly observed.
Esprit’s stable capital structure and adherence to public-float regulations suggest continued compliance with Hong Kong listing obligations while preserving flexibility for future equity issuance through its 2018 option scheme.
