Want Want China Holdings Limited disclosed that it repurchased 2.46 million ordinary shares on 22 October 2026 via the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at prices between HK$2.745 and HK$2.83, for an aggregate consideration of HK$6.88 million.
The latest transaction is part of a series of 18 on-market buybacks conducted from 25 September to 22 October 2026. Over this period, the company acquired a total of 43.76 million shares, equal to approximately 0.38% of its 11.67 billion issued shares (excluding treasury shares) as at 21 October 2026. The volume-weighted average repurchase price across the series was roughly HK$2.80 per share, bringing total cash deployed to about HK$122.53 million.
All 43.76 million shares are intended for cancellation and remain uncancelled as at 22 October 2026; consequently, the company’s issued share capital stood unchanged at 11.67 billion shares on the reporting date.
The purchases were executed under the general mandate approved by shareholders on 25 August 2026, which authorises the company to buy back up to 1.17 billion shares. Cumulative repurchases under this mandate have reached 106.05 million shares, representing 0.90% of the share base on the mandate date, leaving roughly 1.07 billion shares available for future buybacks.
In line with Hong Kong listing rules, Want Want China is subject to a 30-day moratorium on issuing new shares or selling any treasury shares following the 22 October transaction, ending on 21 November 2026.
