MGM China Holdings Limited (MGM China) filed its monthly return for the period ended 31 March 2026, showing a slight contraction in issued share capital following routine share repurchases and limited option exercises. Key takeaways are as follows:
• Authorised Share Capital: Remained unchanged at 10.00 billion ordinary shares with a par value of HKD 1 each, representing authorised capital of HKD 10.00 billion.
• Issued Shares: The total number of issued ordinary shares (excluding treasury shares) declined by 38,000 to 3,800.00 million. The adjustment reflects two offsetting events: – Share repurchase and cancellation of 39,200 shares completed on 31 March 2026 under the buy-back mandate approved on 22 May 2025. – Exercise of 1,200 share options under the 28 May 2020 Share Option Scheme, which generated HKD 0.01 million in proceeds.
• Share Option Portfolio: – 11.83 million options remain outstanding under the plan that expired on 10 May 2021. – 13.43 million options remain outstanding under the 28 May 2020 scheme, with capacity for an additional 328.99 million options to be granted.
• Public Float: Management confirmed compliance with the minimum free-float requirement of 21.6 percent as stipulated by the Main Board Listing Rules.
• Treasury Shares: MGM China held no treasury shares at end-March 2026.
The disclosed movements underscore the company’s measured capital-management approach, balancing modest buy-backs with minimal dilution from employee option redemptions while maintaining regulatory free-float thresholds.
