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 30
October 2024, the Company has repurchased 20,412,893 ordinary
shares for a total consideration of approximately
US$188.7m.
Following the cancellation of the shares repurchased on the UK
Venues, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will consist
of 18,130,453,636 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 18,130,453,636 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, as
amended), a full breakdown of the individual trades made by Morgan
Stanley on behalf of the Company is available via the link
below.
