After the latest transactions, cumulative buybacks under this mandate stand at 103.60 million shares, equivalent to 0.88 % of the share count on the mandate date, leaving considerable capacity for further repurchases.
As at 21 October, the total number of issued shares remains unchanged at 11.67 billion, as the repurchased shares have not yet been cancelled. A 30-day moratorium on new share issues or treasury share sales is in place until 20 November 2026, in line with Hong Kong Listing Rule 10.06.
