All repurchases on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited
("Hong Kong
Stock Exchange") are "off
market" for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006 but are
transactions which occur "on Exchange" for the purposes of the
Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of
Hong Kong Limited and which constitute an "on-market share
buy-back" for the purposes of the Codes on Takeovers and Mergers
and Share Buy-backs.
Since the commencement of the buy-back announced on 1 August 2024,
the Company has repurchased 280,829,282 ordinary shares for a total
consideration of approximately US$2,426.7m.
On 3 October 2024, 31,462,800 of the ordinary shares of
US$0.50 each which were awaiting cancellation having been
repurchased on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange previously were
cancelled. Following cancellation of those shares and following the
cancellation of shares repurchased on the UK Venues, the Company's
issued ordinary share capital will consist of 18,224,571,239
ordinary shares with voting rights. There are no ordinary shares
held in treasury. Cancellation of the shares repurchased on the
Hong Kong Stock Exchange takes longer than those repurchased on the
UK Venues and a further announcement of total voting rights will be
made once those shares have been cancelled.
The above figure of 18,224,571,239 may be used by shareholders as
the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine
if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to
their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct
Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules.
In accordance with Article 5(1)(b) of the Market Abuse Regulation
(EU) No 596/2014 (as it forms part of domestic law of the United
Kingdom by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018), a
full breakdown of the individual trades made by Merrill Lynch on
behalf of the Company is available via the link below.
