2. Latest repurchase • 5 August 2026: 531,870 Class A shares bought on the New York Stock Exchange at USD 5.60–5.70; cash consideration totalled USD 3.00 million. • All shares are earmarked for cancellation.

3. Cumulative progress under 2026 mandate • Mandate granted on 12 June 2026 authorises the repurchase of up to 346.24 million shares. • To date, 26.16 million shares have been repurchased across Hong Kong and U.S. markets, representing 0.76 % of the issued share base at the mandate date. • A 30-day moratorium on new share issues or treasury-share sales is in place until 4 September 2026.

4. Pending cancellations • From 22 May to 5 August 2026, multiple daily buybacks—ranging from roughly 222,000 to 1.60 million shares—remain un-cancelled. • These purchases spanned both Hong Kong (HKD 36.08–45.01) and U.S. (USD 4.72–5.90) markets.

The latest disclosure underscores BEKE’s continued use of its buyback authorisation without altering the overall share count as yet; future cancellations will reduce the float once processed.
