Want Want China Holdings Limited disclosed that it bought back 2.90 million ordinary shares on 14 October 2026, paying between HKD 2.785 and HKD 2.890 per share for a total consideration of HKD 8.34 million. The transaction was executed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under the company’s existing share-repurchase mandate approved on 25 August 2026.
The latest purchase lifts the running total of shares repurchased but not yet cancelled between 25 September and 14 October 2026 to 30.70 million, equivalent to approximately 0.26 % of the company’s 11.67 billion issued shares. Aggregate cash outlay for these repurchases amounts to roughly HKD 85.14 million, implying an average buyback price of about HKD 2.77 per share.
Despite the recent activity, Want Want China’s issued share capital remains unchanged at 11.67 billion shares, as none of the repurchased stock had been cancelled by the reporting date.
Under the shareholder mandate, the company is authorised to buy back up to 1.17 billion shares. To date, 92.99 million shares, representing 0.79 % of the share base at the mandate date, have been repurchased on the Exchange. Following the latest transaction, Want Want China is subject to a moratorium on new share issues or treasury-share disposals until 13 November 2026, in accordance with Hong Kong Listing Rule 10.06(3)(a).
