Bulletin Express10-23

China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited reported to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 23 October 2026 that it repurchased 6.37 million A shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange during the trading session of the same day. The shares, bought for cancellation, were acquired at prices ranging from RMB 3.11 to RMB 3.18 per share, for an aggregate consideration of approximately RMB 20.00 million.

Including this latest transaction, the carrier has accumulated 81.45 million A shares for cancellation since the current repurchase programme began on 5 June 2026. The repurchased shares represent about 0.37 % of the company’s total issued share capital of 22.09 billion shares (comprising 17.02 billion A shares and 5.06 billion H shares). The total cash outlay disclosed for these repurchases is roughly RMB 280 million.

Despite the ongoing buybacks, China Eastern Airlines’ issued share capital remains unchanged at 17.02 billion A shares and 22.09 billion shares overall, as the repurchased shares have not yet been cancelled. All repurchases were executed in compliance with domestic regulations, and the company confirms that all required authorisations and filings are in place.
