• MCB II (USD 224.61 million at 31 May 2026) recorded USD 0.99 million in conversions, resulting in 0.77 million new shares. Remaining principal declined to USD 223.63 million, corresponding to 174.43 million shares that could be issued at the HKD 10.00 conversion price.
• Aggregate new shares from both bonds totalled 5.37 million, bringing issued share capital to 2.99 billion shares.
