Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Noah Holdings reports largely stable 2025 revenue but stronger profitability as cost controls and overseas growth offset a tough China backdrop. Net revenue was RMB2,610.2 million, up 0.4% year over year, while net income attributable to shareholders rose 17.5% to RMB558.9 million.

Non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders increased 11.2% to RMB611.9 million, driven by lower employee compensation and reduced losses from equity investments, partly offset by contingent litigation expenses related to the Camsing Incident. Operating income climbed 22.5% to RMB776.7 million as total operating costs and expenses fell 6.8%.

Wealth management revenue declined 5.1% to RMB1,715.6 million, but asset management revenue grew 11.9% to RMB859.7 million, supported by higher recurring and performance fees from overseas products. The company ended 2025 with RMB4,360.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, no interest-bearing liabilities and a gearing ratio of 15.0%. The board proposes a final dividend of RMB306.0 million and a special dividend of RMB306.0 million, together equivalent to RMB1.866 per share, subject to shareholder approval.

Positive

  • Double-digit profit growth on flat revenue: Net income attributable to shareholders rose 17.5% to RMB558.9 million and non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders increased 11.2% to RMB611.9 million, driven by a 6.8% reduction in operating costs and expenses and a 22.5% increase in income from operations.
  • Stronger overseas and fee-based franchise: Asset management revenue grew 11.9% to RMB859.7 million, overseas revenue accounted for 49.0% of net revenue, and overseas AUA reached US$9.5 billion with actively managed overseas AUM at US$6.1 billion, highlighting growing global and recurring-fee contributions.
  • Robust balance sheet and high shareholder payouts: The company ended 2025 with RMB4,360.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, no interest-bearing liabilities, a 15.0% gearing ratio, a US$7.23 million share repurchase, and proposed final and special dividends totaling RMB612.0 million.

Negative

  • AUM decline and rising credit provisions: Total AUM fell 6.5% to RMB141.7 billion, reflecting pressure on domestic products, while provisions for credit losses more than doubled to RMB52.2 million, and contingent liabilities tied to the Camsing Incident increased to RMB505.5 million amid numerous ongoing legal and arbitration cases.

Insights

Profitability improved on flat revenue, supported by cost cuts and dividends.

Noah delivered modest top-line growth but meaningful margin expansion in 2025. Net revenue grew just 0.4% to RMB2,610.2 million, yet income from operations increased 22.5% to RMB776.7 million as total operating costs and expenses fell 6.8%.

Net income attributable to shareholders rose 17.5% to RMB558.9 million, and non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders increased 11.2% to RMB611.9 million. This was helped by lower employee compensation and fewer fair value losses, partially offset by higher contingent litigation expenses and a higher effective tax rate of 34.77%.

The proposed capital return is sizeable: management recommends both a final and a special dividend of RMB306.0 million each, together equal to RMB1.866 per share based on the current share count. Combined with a US$7.23 million share repurchase in 2025 and a debt-free balance sheet with RMB4,360.9 million in cash, the financial position appears strong, though contingent liabilities of RMB505.5 million related to the Camsing Incident remain an overhang.

Business mix is shifting toward overseas and fee-based asset management.

The revenue mix is evolving. Wealth management revenue fell 5.1% to RMB1,715.6 million, pressured by lower one-time commissions and recurring fees tied to shrinking onshore private equity AUM. By contrast, asset management revenue rose 11.9% to RMB859.7 million, boosted by higher recurring and performance-based fees from overseas products.

Overseas operations are increasingly important. Overseas revenue represented 49.0% of net revenue in 2025, with overseas AUA reaching US$9.5 billion and actively managed overseas AUM US$6.1 billion. Yet total AUM in RMB terms declined 6.5% to RMB141.7 billion, reflecting runoff in domestic products even as overseas flows grew.

Cost discipline is visible across segments. Wealth management operating costs fell 8.1% and asset management costs declined 9.8%, mainly from compensation controls and fewer one-off expenses. However, provisions for credit losses increased to RMB52.2 million, and contingent liabilities and ongoing legal proceedings tied to the Camsing Incident and other matters continue to introduce uncertainty that will be clarified only through future judgments and disclosures.

INSIDE INFORMATION

ANNUAL RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

 

This announcement is issued pursuant to Rule 13.09 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the Inside Information Provision under Part XIVA of the SFO.

 

The Company is pleased to announce the unaudited consolidated annual results of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, together with the comparative figures for the corresponding period in 2024. These annual results have been prepared under the U.S. GAAP, which are different from the IFRS, and reviewed by the Audit Committee.

 

In this announcement, “Noah,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the Company and where the context otherwise requires, the Group. Certain amounts and percentage figures included in this announcement have been subject to rounding adjustments, or have been rounded to one or two decimal places. Any discrepancies in any table, chart or elsewhere between totals and sums of amounts listed therein are due to rounding.

 

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

 

The global macroeconomic environment of 2025 remained volatile, marked by trade fragmentation and diverging monetary policies which further constrained global growth. Against this backdrop, liquidity conditions remained relatively tight as global central banks maintained policy rates at multi-year highs to rein in inflation. Geopolitical headwinds – ranging from renewed trade tensions to technology-export controls – sustained bouts of market volatility and reinforced investors’ preference for safe-haven assets. China’s economy remained under pressure, with subdued consumer demand and ongoing weakness in the real estate sector weighing on overall growth. Within China’s wealth management industry, HNW individuals continued to prioritize wealth preservation and liquidity. As a result, demand is gradually shifting toward providers of high-quality global strategies where transparency, diversification and downside protection are more readily obtained.

 

Our Company’s disciplined, forward-looking strategy continues to provide us with flexibility to navigate this challenging environment and ensure the resilience of our business. As highlighted in our annual CIO1 report for 2025, we are also witnessing a major paradigm shift occurring. If the past two decades were defined by strategies to hedge against inflation and allocate into inflation-protected assets, the next twenty years will pivot to a new imperative: understanding, embracing, and profiting from technology-driven deflation. We are guiding clients to embrace this evolving landscape where growth is no longer fueled by debt-driven asset bubbles but by deflationary forces and efficiency dividends enabled by technological innovation. In response, our adaptive allocation framework is designed to balance current defensive positioning with future-facing offensive opportunities through three strategic pillars: inflation-hedged anchors, deflation-hedged assets, and flexible bridge holdings.

Our commitment to overseas expansion continues delivering promising results. By combining our personalized service model with an expanding portfolio of global products, we have established a significant competitive advantage. In 2025, we made notable progress: we established our ARK global headquarters in Singapore, entered into a strategic partnership with Tokyo Star Bank in Japan through our ARK Japan subsidiary, and officially joined the Family Office Association of Hong Kong. These developments position us at the crossroads of Asia’s evolving capital flows, enabling us to turn regional headwinds into long-term strategic advantages. As ever, we continue seeing tremendous growth potential in serving global Chinese HNW investors overseas who share our cultural values and place their trust in our long-standing track record. As a key booking center, Singapore has demonstrated robust momentum, with deposit volumes rising steadily and transaction value through Singapore-based channels increasing substantially, signaling clear potential for further expansion among local clients.

 

By consistently focusing on client and employee education, we believe we are strongly positioned to guide stakeholders through the coming market shifts. Our global growth journey has only just begun, and we remain confident in our ability to navigate challenges and capitalize on the opportunities that lie ahead.

 

At the same time, 2025 marked a structural evolution in Noah’s operating model, as AI became embedded across our global platform and transformed our path to scalable, sustainable growth. The deployment of “AI RMs” transitioned the firm toward a more institutionalized, operations-driven model, expanding frontline servicing capacity and mitigating traditional human capital constraints. By augmenting advisory workflows and standardizing processes, AI enhances productivity and enables broader client coverage without proportional cost expansion, reinforcing structural operating leverage. Leveraging our four global booking centers, we further advanced a digitally coordinated service infrastructure, where AI-powered client engagement tools streamline cross-border onboarding and execution processes, significantly shortening time-to-deployment for global asset allocation while preserving compliance rigor. In parallel, we continued optimizing our revenue mix toward a more AUM-driven and investment-oriented structure, increasing the contribution from recurring and investment-related revenues while expanding a diversified suite of global solutions. AI-driven asset allocation – integrating real-time product intelligence with over two decades of proprietary client insights – is reinforcing cross-border synergies and strengthening our differentiated data capabilities. Entering 2026, Noah stands structurally different: the institutional AI integration, global infrastructure coordination and disciplined revenue optimization achieved in 2025 have laid the foundation for compounding efficiency, deeper client engagement and resilient long-term growth in an increasingly AI-native financial landscape.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

During the Reporting Period, we successfully navigated through a complex macroeconomic environment both domestically and internationally, while simultaneously advancing our internal structure transformation. As a result of these efforts and strategic focus, our net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was RMB2,610.2 million, representing an increase of 0.4% compared to 2024. Our net income attributable to the Shareholders increased by 17.5% from RMB475.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB558.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Similarly, our Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Shareholders increased by 11.2% from RMB550.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB611.9 million for the Reporting Period, primarily due to our cost control strategy on employee compensation and a decrease in losses from fair value changes in underlying investments made by certain investment in affiliates, partially offset by contingent litigation expenses related to Camsing Incident.

 

Despite the challenges, we remain committed to investing in the overseas market by expanding our international relationship managers team and actively increasing our influence and wallet share among our Chinese clients globally. The transaction value of overseas products we distributed increased by 8.1% from RMB31.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB33.7 billion for the Reporting Period.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The following table sets forth unaudited reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results for the period indicated.

 

   For the Year Ended     
   December 31,     
   2024   2025   Change 
    (RMB in thousands)    (%) 
Total revenues   2,621,334    2,629,787    0.3%
Net revenues   2,600,982    2,610,240    0.4%
Income from operations   633,889    776,664    22.5%
Income before taxes and income from equity in affiliates   867,605    856,425    (1.3)%
Net income   487,004    557,219    14.4%
Net income attributable to the Shareholders   475,445    558,857    17.5%
                
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:               
Net income attributable to the Shareholders   475,445    558,857    17.5%
Add: share-based compensation   109,030    66,881    (38.7)%
Add: non-cash settlement expense reversal   (12,454)   (956)   (92.3)%
Less: Tax effect of adjustments   21,836    12,862    (41.1)%
Adjusted net income attributable to the Shareholders (non-GAAP)   550,185    611,920    11.2%

 

Adjusted net income attributable to the Shareholders is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the income statement effects of all forms of share-based compensation expenses, non-cash settlement expense reversal and net of relevant tax impact. A reconciliation of adjusted net income attributable to the Shareholders from net income attributable to the Shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, can be obtained by subtracting expenses for share-based compensations and non-cash settlements. All tax expense impact of such adjustments would also be considered. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The financial results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP results should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be prepared differently from and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

 

When evaluating the Company’s operating performance in the Reporting Period, management reviewed non-GAAP net income results reflecting adjustments to exclude the impact of share-based compensation, non-cash settlement expense reversal and net of relevant tax impact. As such, the Company’s management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to the Shareholders provides important supplemental information to investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its results of operations in a manner consistent with that used by management. Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, the Company recognized significant amounts of expenses for all forms of share-based compensation and non-cash settlement expense reversal (net of tax impact). To make its financial results comparable period by period, the Company utilizes non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to the Shareholders to better understand its historical business operations. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

 

BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

 

Business Review for the Reporting Period

 

While 2025 continued to bring challenges, it presented an opportunity for our Company to demonstrate our resilience through cost management and acceleration in our global expansion.

 

Domestic Business Performance and Strategy

 

Domestically, our business continued to be impacted by a complex macroeconomic environment in China, with varied sectoral performance and continued structural adjustments. Our revenue contracted modestly during the Reporting Period compared to 2024, despite a significant decrease from distribution of insurance products due to intensified market competition we faced as we continue to invest in building our commission-only broker team; the impact was partially offset by an increase of 15.5% in contribution from public securities products. While contributions from private equity products declined by 10.4%, the business performed better than our expectation, supported by the fact that some of the funds gradually extended their terms.

 

Operating within China’s evolving economic landscape, we maintained disciplined execution of our domestic strategy despite persistent headwinds. Ongoing challenges in the property sector and cautious consumer sentiment created a complex environment for wealth management services. However, we view this period of consolidation as an opportunity to consolidate and reinforce our operational foundation for future growth. Our domestic operations benefited from the cost optimization initiatives implemented in late 2024, resulting in a 6.8% year-over-year reduction in operating expenses. Going forward, we remain focused on cost control, innovative client acquisition strategies, and operational restructuring to improve efficiency.

Looking ahead, we believe the growing sophistication of global Chinese investors and their increasing demand for diversified investment solutions align well with our evolving product suite. We continue to invest in talent development and technology infrastructure to ensure readiness to capture emerging opportunities. As domestic capital market conditions continue improving, we expect our strong brand recognition and operational discipline to position us for sustainable growth over the long term.

 

Details of the development of our domestic business structured around three core segments during the Reporting Period are as follows:

 

Domestic public securities

 

Domestic public securities, operating under the Noah Upright brand, is the business that distributes mutual funds and private secondary products. During the Reporting Period, this segment concentrated on developing an “online-first, offline-supported” business model, with the goal of facilitating global asset allocation through RMB-denominated products. Following policy incentives introduced in September 2024, the A-share and Hong Kong markets continued showing strong performance, driving a year-over-year increase of 42.9% in transaction value contributed by the segment, primarily driven by a 107.2% increase in fundraising for our RMB-denominated private secondary products during 2025. Looking ahead, we believe sustained capital market activity and continued policy support will create new opportunities for client acquisition, enabling us to further expand our market share.

 

Domestic asset management

 

Domestic asset management, operating under the Gopher Asset Management brand, is the business that manages RMB-denominated private equity funds and private secondary products. The focus remains on managing primary market exits and cross-border ETF products in the secondary market. Due to the absence of new fundraising for RMB-denominated private equity funds in 2025, the gradual expiration of legacy products is expected to reduce the management fee base. In response, we are accelerating the expansion of our overseas investment product offerings and growing our secondary market. These efforts aim to offset – and ultimately exceed – the impact of the declining management fee base from maturing onshore products.

 

Domestic insurance

 

Domestic insurance, operating under the Glory brand, is the business that distributes insurance products, consisting mainly of life and health insurance products. In 2025, revenue from this segment was impacted by adjustments to our sales team structure and a strategic shift in product focus. While the transition to a new model will require time to be reflected in our financial results, we believe this restructuring positions the business for long-term, stable growth. Looking ahead, we will prioritize the recruitment of commission-only brokers to drive the delivery of comprehensive family succession planning services, further strengthening this segment’s future potential.

Overseas Business Expansion and Vision

 

At the end of 2024, we executed a clear strategic vision to expand our global presence, and in 2025, we achieved considerable progress. Overseas revenue accounted for 49.0% of total net revenue in 2025, representing a year-over-year increase. This was primarily driven by contributions from our exclusive alternative investment products, which rose 26.1% compared to last year. To meet the evolving needs of a growing global client base, we continue offering a comprehensive suite of products denominated in both RMB and USD. Our competitive edge is anchored in an extensive network of esteemed product and investment partners worldwide, enabling us to continuously enhance our portfolio of high-quality, exclusive alternative investment solutions. Building on this strong foundation, the Group will strategically venture into frontier non-traditional asset ecosystems to capture new growth opportunities and further diversify our value proposition. Through strategic expansion in key markets such as Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong, we have transformed ARK into a truly global wealth management platform. We intend to ride on this momentum by pursuing quality opportunities in new markets, including the U.S. and Canada, while continuing to develop more innovative products in both RMB and USD, and deepening local expertise in the jurisdictions we operate. Our overseas operations are structured into three core segments:

 

Overseas wealth management

 

Overseas wealth management, operating under the ARK Wealth Management brand, is the business that provides offline and online wealth management services.

 

As of December 31, 2025, our overseas registered clients exceeded 19,993, representing a 13.2% year-over-year increase. The number of active clients surpassed 6,231, representing a 12.4% year-over-year increase. Our overseas AUA, including distributed products, reached US$9.5 billion, reflecting an 8.6% increase compared to last year. Looking ahead, we will continue to deepen our coverage in these key markets while expanding our client base through both existing relationships and new client acquisition. To cater to the diverse needs and preferences of our clientele, we will design and introduce tailored suites of investment products aligned with a range of thematic strategies.

 

Overseas asset management

 

Overseas asset management, operating under the Olive Asset Management brand, is the business that manages USD-denominated private equity funds and private secondary products. Over the past years, we have significantly enhanced the competitiveness of our overseas primary market product shelf through the establishment of a dedicated U.S. product center. This allows us to offer private equity products that are on par with those provided by leading global private banks. On the secondary market side, we have expanded partnerships with top-tier global managers and diversified our offerings in structured products and hedge funds.

 

In 2025, fundraising for hedge funds and structured products reached US$957.4 million, representing a significantly 305.6% year-over-year increase. We raised US$680.6 million in USD-denominated private equity and private credit funds, representing a 2.7% year-over-year increase. As of December 31, 2025, our actively managed overseas AUM in USD terms reached US$6.1 billion, representing an increase of 3.9% compared to US$5.8 billion in last year. Moving forward, we will continue to strengthen our global alternative investment capabilities to meet the evolving needs of our clients.

Overseas insurance and comprehensive services

 

Overseas insurance and comprehensive services, operating under the Glory Family Heritage brand, is the business that provides comprehensive overseas services such as insurance, trust services and other services. In recent years, competition in the overseas insurance market – particularly in Hong Kong – has intensified, resulting in a decline in revenue from this segment in 2025. In response, we are actively exploring new business models and expanding our insurance offerings beyond Hong Kong to other international markets. We are also investing in the recruitment of licensed, commission-only brokers to enhance our client acquisition efforts. In 2025, Glory Family Heritage has establish a talented team of self-employed, commission-based brokers to catalyze the next phase of client growth for this segment.

 

Wealth Management Business

 

During the Reporting Period, we generated total revenue of RMB1,715.6 million from our wealth management business, representing a 5.1% decrease from RMB1,808.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily consisting of (i) an 8.8% decrease in total revenue generated from one-time commissions from RMB634.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB578.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to reduced distribution of insurance products; (ii) a 7.0% decrease in total revenue generated from recurring service fees from RMB983.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB914.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in AUM associated with a decrease in existing private equity products in mainland China; and (iii) a 137.6% increase in total revenue generated from performance-based income from RMB48.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB116.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in performance-based income generated from domestic private secondary products and overseas private market products; and (iv) a 24.5% decrease in total revenue generated from other service fees from RMB141.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB106.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to a reduction in value-added services provided to our clients. In 2025, we achieved an aggregate transaction value of RMB67.0 billion for the various types of investment products that we distributed, representing a 5.0% increase from 2024. The growth was mainly driven by a substantial 107.2% rise in the distribution of domestic private secondary products, which was partially offset by a decrease in the distribution of mutual fund products. 

 

Asset Management Business

 

During the Reporting Period, we generated total revenue of RMB859.7 million from our asset management business, representing a 11.9% increase compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, mainly due to (i) a 5.6% increase in recurring service fees in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024; and (ii) a 49.9% increase in performance-based income in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024, resulting from an increase in income generated from overseas private equity products. Our AUM decreased by 6.5% from RMB151.5 billion as of December 31, 2024 to RMB141.7 billion as of December 31, 2025, among which our overseas AUM in RMB terms fell by 0.5% from RMB42.6 billion as of December 31, 2024 to RMB42.4 billion as of December 31, 2025, solely due to foreign exchange translation effects rather than any contraction in underlying business.

 

 7 

 

 

As of December 31, 2025, we maintained a sound capital structure with total assets of RMB11.7 billion and no interest-bearing liabilities. Throughout the Reporting Period, we remained committed to full compliance with all relevant laws and regulations that had a material impact on our business, such as the SFO, the Insurance Ordinance (Chapter 41 of the Laws of Hong Kong), and the Trustee Ordinance (Chapter 29 of the Laws of Hong Kong), among others.

 

Business Outlook

 

We believe the strategic and operational adjustments implemented throughout 2025 have laid a resilient foundation for our next phase of scalable growth. The successful establishment of our global headquarters in Singapore and the robust expansion of our overseas operations validate our strategic trajectory and position us favorably to navigate evolving macroeconomic dynamics. Looking ahead, we remain firmly focused on three key areas:

 

First, we will continue expanding our client base. Domestically, we intend to capitalize on industry consolidation and improving market conditions to capture market share among HNW individuals seeking trusted wealth management partners. Overseas, we continue seeing significant untapped potential among global Chinese HNW investors, who remain underserved by local financial institutions in their respective domiciles. Building on our momentum in Asia, we are actively exploring market entry and expansion opportunities in new markets, including the U.S. Concurrently, we will continue investing in the recruitment and development of our commission-only broker network to drive the strategic turnaround of our insurance business.

 

Second, we are committed to enhancing our global product suite and investment capabilities to serve an increasingly diverse clientele. Guided by our “Global Network, Local Depth” approach, we will leverage our multi-jurisdictional presence to source premium, globally diversified investment opportunities while deepening our local market expertise. As our client base expands, we plan to further diversify our RMB- and USD-denominated offerings and optimize our global asset-allocation frameworks to deliver competitive portfolios. In the primary market, we will expand our distinctive ecosystem of top-tier product and investment partners to craft bespoke strategies and secure exclusive opportunities. In the secondary market, we will harness our global research and investment expertise to identify leading strategies from top-tier fund managers, thereby strengthening our capacity to deliver robust and adaptive asset-allocation solutions.

 

Third, maintaining operational excellence and structural efficiency remains paramount as we pursue sustainable growth. The disciplined cost-optimization initiatives and the integration of AI-driven advisory workflows executed in 2025 have played an instrumental role in navigating the current economic landscape. We believe these structural improvements provide a robust foundation for sustainable margin expansion as revenue rebounds and growth accelerates.

 

Looking ahead, supported by our strengthened operational foundation, clear strategic vision, robust balance sheet, and healthy cash reserves, we remain highly confident in our ability to navigate market shifts, deliver sustainable growth, and create long-term value for our clients and Shareholders.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Revenues

 

Historically, our revenues are derived from three business segments: wealth management, asset management and other services. Following a comprehensive evaluation of the nature of the Company’s evolving business operations and recent organizational adjustments, management have determined that a new segmentation approach will provide a clearer understanding of the financial performance and strategic progress of each business segment. As a result, since the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company has begun to disclose the Company’s revenues and operation costs and expenses for the Reporting Period for each six domestic and overseas business segments as well as headquarters. This refined segmentation approach is designed to enhance resource allocation, provide investors with clearer insights into the Company’s financial performance across its diverse business segments, and ensure alignment with the Company’s long-term strategic objectives.

 

The details of the revenue of the Group under the six domestic and overseas business segments as well as the headquarters are as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We finance our operations primarily through cash generated from our operating activities. Our principal use of cash for the Reporting Period was for operating, investing and financing activities. As of December 31, 2025, we had RMB4,360.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, consisting of cash on hand, demand deposits, fixed term deposits and money market funds which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. As of December 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents of RMB12.9 million were held by the consolidated funds, which although not legally restricted, are not available to our general liquidity needs as the use of such funds is generally limited to the investment activities of the consolidated funds. We believe that our current cash and anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including our cash needs for at least the next 12 months. We may, however, need additional capital in the future to address unforeseen business conditions or other developments, including any potential investments or acquisitions we may pursue.

We earn the majority of our revenues and incur the majority of our expenses in Renminbi, and the majority of our sales contracts are denominated in Renminbi and majority of our costs and expenses are denominated in Renminbi, while a portion of our financial assets are denominated in U.S. dollars. Very limited hedging options are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, and we have not used any forward contracts or currency borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency risk. While we may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these hedges may be limited and we may not be able to adequately hedge our exposure or at all. In addition, our currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert Renminbi into foreign currency. As a result, any significant revaluation of the Renminbi or the U.S. dollar may adversely affect our cash flows, earnings and financial position, and the value of, and any dividends payable on, our Shares and/or ADSs. For example, an appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would make any new RMB-denominated investments or expenditures more costly to us, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for such purposes. An appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would also result in foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes when we translate our U.S. dollar-denominated financial assets into Renminbi, our reporting currency. Conversely, if we decide to convert Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our Shares or ADSs, for payment of interest expenses, for strategic acquisitions or investments, or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would have a negative effect on us.

 

Contingent Liabilities

 

As of December 31, 2025, we had contingent liabilities of RMB505.5 million in relation to the unsettled Camsing Incident (as of December 31, 2024: RMB476.1 million). For further details, please refer to Note 8 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this announcement.

 

Save as disclosed above and in “Material Litigation” in the section headed “Other Information” in this announcement, no material contingent liabilities, guarantees or any litigation against us, in the opinion of our Directors, are likely to have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations as of December 31, 2025.

 

Capital Expenditures and Capital Commitment

 

Our capital expenditures primarily consist of purchases of property and equipment, and renovation and upgrade of our newly purchased office premises. Our capital expenditures were RMB134.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 (for the year ended December 31, 2024: RMB82.2 million). Such an increase was primarily driven by our renovation and upgrade of our headquarters in Hong Kong. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any commitment for capital expenditures or other cash requirements outside of our ordinary course of business (as of December 31, 2024: nil).

 

Loans and Borrowings

 

The Group had no outstanding loans, overdrafts or borrowings from banks or any other financial institutions as of December 31, 2025 (as of December 31, 2024: nil).

The non-compete restricted period typically expires two years after the termination of employment, and we agree to compensate the employee with a certain percentage of his or her pre-departure salary during the restricted period.

 

We believe that we maintain a good working relationship with our employees, and we have not experienced any significant labor disputes during the Reporting Period.

Some of the training is conducted jointly by departments serving different functions but working with or supporting each other in our day-to-day operations.

Material Litigation

 

As of December 31, 2025, 42 legal proceedings (including arbitration proceedings) against Shanghai Gopher and/or its affiliates in connection with the Camsing Incident with an aggregate claimed investment amount over RMB138.1 million were still pending.

 

As of the date of this announcement, 23 legal proceedings (including arbitration proceedings) against Shanghai Gopher and/or its affiliates in connection with the Camsing Incident with an aggregate claimed investment amount over RMB87.4 million were still pending. Based on the Group’s PRC legal adviser’s advice, the management of the Group has assessed the Group was unable to reasonably predict the timing or outcomes of, or estimate the amount of loss, or range of loss, if any, related to the pending legal proceedings (including arbitration proceedings).

 

Bozhou Lawsuits

 

In December 2022, the Group received a civil judgment from the Bozhou Intermediate People’s Court of Anhui Province (the “First Instance Court”). The judgment was related to a civil lawsuit brought by an external institution (the “Plaintiff”) against Noah (Shanghai) Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (currently known as Shanghai Ziyan Car Leasing Service Co., Ltd.) (the “Defendant”), a subsidiary of the Company. The First Instance Court issued the judgment awarding the Plaintiff monetary damages of RMB99.0 million and corresponding interests (the “First-instance Judgment”). For further details, please refer to the Company’s announcement dated December 12, 2022.

 

In late March 2024, the Group received the civil judgment on appeal (the “Appellate Judgment”) from the High People’s Court of Anhui Province, affirming the First-instance Judgment. The Appellate Judgment took immediate effect, pursuant to which the Defendant shall make a payment to the Plaintiff within ten days from the date the Appellate Judgment became effective. Based on advice from the Company’s PRC counsel to this civil lawsuit, the Company believed that the claim of the Plaintiff is without merit and is unfounded, and therefore subsequently applied for a retrial (the “Retrial Petition”) to the Supreme People’s Court of the PRC (the “PRC Supreme Court”) with respect to the ruling in the Appellate Judgment.

 

In early January 2025, the Company received the civil judgment on the retrial (the “Retrial Judgement”) from the PRC Supreme Court, which partially upheld the Company’s Retrial Petition finding errors in the application of law in the original judgments, and accordingly revoked the First-instance Judgment and Appellate Judgment. Pursuant to the Retrial Judgement, the Company shall be held liable for 70% of the compensation of RMB99.0 million along with the corresponding interest losses. As the Group had previously reserved a contingent liability of RMB99.0 million in accordance with the First-instance Judgment prior to the issuance of the Appellate Judgment and the Retrial Judgement, the ruling in the Retrial Judgement is not expected to materially affect the Group’s overall financial position in comparison to its financial position prior to the issuance of the Retrial Judgement.

Arbitration Proceedings

 

In December 2025, Shanghai Gopher received a number of arbitration awards issued by the Shanghai International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (Shanghai International Arbitration Center) (the “SHIAC”) in respect of aforementioned legal proceedings, involving a total of 72 independent cases with an aggregate disputed amount of approximately RMB138.1 million. Pursuant to the arbitration awards, Shanghai Gopher was ordered to compensate the relevant investors for 70% of their principal investments, while claims for interest or investment returns were not supported. The arbitration awards and the related pending arbitration proceedings relate solely to Shanghai Gopher, which is a lawfully established and independently operated historical business entity, with independent accounting and independent civil liabilities.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2025 and up to the date of this announcement, three additional arbitration cases have been initiated against Shanghai Gopher and/or its affiliates in connection with the Camsing Incident, involving an additional disputed amount of approximately RMB12.4 million. As of the date of this announcement, SHIAC had issued similar arbitration awards in respect of 94 independent cases in total, with an aggregate disputed amount of approximately RMB299.8 million.

 

Save as disclosed above, we were not a party to, and we were not aware of any judicial, arbitration or administrative proceedings that were pending or threatened against our Group during the Reporting Period, that, in the opinion of our Directors, were likely to have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We may from time to time be involved in litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of our business.

 

Settlement under the Settlement Plans

 

Reference is made to the 2024 annual report of the Company in relation to the settlement plans (the “Settlement Plans”) regarding the Camsing Incident (as defined therein). The Settlement Plans include: (i) two RSU vesting plans (Plan A and Plan B) for the affected clients to choose from offered by the Company prior to the Listing Date (collectively, the “Previous Settlement Plan”), the offers under which was accepted by 595 out of 818 affected clients as of the Listing Date; and (ii) new settlement plan (the “New Settlement Plan”) offered by the Company in 2024 so as to continue settling with the remaining 223 out of 818 affected clients (the “Remaining Affected Clients”), the offer under which was accepted by eight out of the Remaining Affected Clients as of December 31, 2025. The Company shall issue relevant Shares upon vesting of RSUs to the affected clients subject to the settlement pursuant to the issuance mandate granted, renewed or refreshed by the Shareholders at the annual general meeting(s) from time to time. During the Reporting Period, one out of the Remaining Affected Clients had accepted the offer pursuant to the New Settlement Plan.

 

During the Reporting Period1, (i) 371,512 RSUs involving 3,715,120 Shares (represented by 743,024 ADSs) have vested under the Previous Settlement Plan, and (ii) 7,835 RSUs involving 78,350 Shares (represented by 15,670 ADSs) have vested under the New Settlement Plan.

 

26

 

 

As of December 31, 2025, 3,770,377 RSUs involving 37,703,770 Shares (represented by 7,540,754 ADSs) have been granted by the affected clients who accepted the offers under the Settlement Plans, among which 2,232,996 RSUs involving 22,329,957 Shares (represented by 4,465,995 ADSs) have vested and 1,537,381 RSUs involving 15,373,813 Shares (represented by 3,074,759 ADSs) were outstanding and yet to vest.

 

Since December 31, 2025 and up to the date of this announcement, no additional RSUs have vested under the Settlement Plans, and no additional affected clients have accepted the offer under the New Settlement Plan.

 

Events After the Reporting Period

 

There were no significant events that might materially affect the Group after December 31, 2025 and immediately before the date of this announcement.

 

Dividend

 

The Board has approved and adopted a dividend policy (the “Dividend Policy”) on August 10, 2022, which aims to provide stable and sustainable returns to the Shareholders. The Dividend Policy has become effective from August 10, 2022 and was amended on November 30, 2023. According to the amended Dividend Policy, in normal circumstances, the annual dividends to be declared and distributed in each calendar year shall be, in principle, no less than 35% of the Group’s non-GAAP net income attributable to the Shareholders of the preceding financial year as reported in the Company’s unaudited annual results announcement, subject to various factors. The dividend under the Dividend Policy proposed and/or declared by the Board for a financial year are deemed as final dividend. Any final dividend for a financial year will be subject to Shareholders’ approval. The Company may declare and pay dividends by way of cash or by other means that the Board considers appropriate. Such dividend policy shall in no way constitute a legally binding commitment by the Company in respect of its future dividend and/or in no way obligate the Company to declare a dividend at any time or from time to time. There can be no assurance that dividends will be paid in any particular amount for any given year. In addition, our shareholders by ordinary resolution may declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our Board. Under Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend on its shares out of either profit or share premium amount, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if our Board decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board may deem relevant.

 

The Directors recommended (i) final dividend of RMB306.0 million (approximately US$43.8 million) in aggregate in respect of the year ended December 31, 2025, which will be paid out of the corporate actions budget equivalent to 50% of the non-GAAP net income attributable to Shareholders during the Reporting Period in accordance with the capital management and shareholder return policy of the Company adopted on November 29, 2023; and (ii) special dividend of RMB306.0 million (approximately US$43.8 million) in aggregate, which will be paid out of the accumulated return surplus cash from the years prior to 2025, to Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company as of the record date for dividend distribution.

 

27

 

 

Based on the number of issued Shares of the Company (excluding 7,422,860 Shares underlying 1,484,572 ADSs repurchased by the Company as of March 24, 2026 (Hong Kong Time) for cancellation but not yet cancelled) as of the date of this announcement, if declared and paid, (i) a final dividend of RMB0.933 (equivalent to approximately US$0.133 per Share (tax inclusive1) in respect of the year ended December 31, 2025, and (ii) a non-recurring special dividend of RMB0.933 (equivalent to approximately US$0.133) per Share (tax inclusive1); will be paid out to Shareholders who are entitled to dividends, both subject to adjustment to the number of issued Shares of the Company (excluding the treasury shares (if any) and Shares underlying ADSs repurchased by the Company for cancellation but not yet cancelled) entitled to dividend distribution as of the record date for dividend distribution, and the equivalent U.S. dollars amount and Hong Kong dollars amount are also subject to exchange rate adjustment. As of the date of this announcement, the Company did not hold any treasury shares.

 

Recommendations on the final dividend and special dividend are subject to respective approval by the Shareholders at the forthcoming annual general meeting to be held on or around June 11, 2026. If the proposed final dividend and special dividend are approved by the Shareholders, the Company expects to pay such dividend by August 2026. For details, please refer to the circular of the annual general meeting to be dispatched to the Shareholders and the announcement(s) to be made by the Company in due course.

 

 

1Tax referred to in this announcement in relation to the final dividend and special dividend means any tax that may be applicable to the Shareholder and ADS holders, whereas there is no applicable withholding tax applied to the final dividend and special dividend.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.Organization and Principal Activities

 

Noah Holdings Private Wealth and Asset Management Limited (the “Company”), its subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) (together, the “Group”), is a leading and pioneer wealth management service provider in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) offering comprehensive one-stop advisory services on global investment and asset allocation primarily for high net wealth (“HNW”) investors. The Group began offering services in 2005 through Shanghai Noah Investment Management Co., Ltd. (“Noah Investment”), a consolidated VIE, founded in the PRC in August 2005.

 

2.Summary of Principal Accounting Policies

 

(a)Basis of Preparation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In addition, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“Listing Rules”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

 

(b)Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from such estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include assumptions used to determine valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, allowance for credit losses, fair value measurement of underlying investment portfolios of the funds that the Group invests, fair value of Level 3 investments, assumptions related to the consolidation of entities in which the Group holds variable interests and loss contingencies.

 

(c)Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s reporting currency is Renminbi (“RMB”). The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar or US$”). The Company’s operations are principally conducted through the subsidiaries and VIEs located in the PRC where RMB is the functional currency. For those subsidiaries and VIEs which are not located in the PRC and have the functional currency other than RMB, the financial statements are translated from their respective functional currencies into RMB.

 

Assets and liabilities of the Group’s overseas entities denominated in currencies other than the RMB are translated into RMB at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the period. Translation adjustments are reported as foreign currency translation adjustment and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

 

Translations of amounts from RMB into US$ are included solely for the convenience of the readers and have been made at the rate of US$1 = RMB6.9931 on December 31, 2025, representing the certificated exchange rate published by the Federal Reserve Board. No representation is intended to imply that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate, or at any other rate.

 

34

 

 

3.Revenues

 

The Group derives revenue primarily from one-time commissions, recurring service fees and performance-based income paid by clients or investment product providers. The disaggregation of revenues by service lines have been presented in the consolidated statements of operations.

In addition, payments of dividends from Hong Kong subsidiaries to their shareholders are not subject to any Hong Kong withholding tax.

7.Settlement for Camsing Incident

 

In July 2019, in connection with certain funds managed (“Camsing Credit Funds” or “Camsing Products”) by Shanghai Ziming Private Fund Management Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Gopher”), formerly known as Shanghai Gopher Asset Management Co., Ltd., a consolidated affiliated subsidiary of the Company, it is suspected that fraud had been committed by third parties related to the underlying investments (the “Camsing Incident”). A total of 818 investors were affected, and the outstanding amount of the investments that is potentially subject to repayment upon default amounted to RMB3.4 billion.

 

Settlement Plan

 

To preserve the Group’s goodwill with affected investors, it voluntarily made an exgratia settlement offer (the “Settlement Plan”) to affected investors. An affected client accepting the offer shall receive RSUs, which upon vesting will become ordinary shares of the Company, and in return forgo all outstanding legal rights associated with the investment in the Camsing Credit Funds and irrevocably release the Company and all its affiliated entities and individuals from any and all claims immediately, known or unknown, that relate to the Camsing Credit Funds.

 

On August 24, 2020, the Settlement Plan was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company that a total number of new Class A ordinary shares not exceeding 1.6% of the share capital of the Company has been authorized to be issued each year for a consecutive ten years for the Settlement Plan.

 

The Group evaluated and concluded the financial instruments to be issued under the Settlement Plan meet equity classification under ASC 815-40-25-10. Therefore, such instruments were initially measured at fair value and recognized as part of additional-paid-in-capital.

 

As of December 31, 2020, the Group had no new settlement plan for the remaining unsettled investors, but would not preclude to reaching settlements in the future with similar terms and therefore estimated the probable amount of future settlement taking into consideration of possible forms of settlement and estimated acceptable level, and had recorded it as a contingent liability of US$81.3 million (RMB530.4 million).

 

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, the Group remained open to settling with the affected clients, and voluntarily reoffered the Settlement Plan to the remaining unsettled investors with terms substantially unchanged. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, additional 7 and 1 investors accepted the Settlement Plan, respectively, and the Company recorded reversal of settlement expenses in the amount of RMB12,454 and RMB956 based on the difference between the fair value of the RSUs to be issued at each settlement date and the corresponding contingent liability accrued for these investors.

 

As of December 31, 2025, 603 out of the total 818 investors (approximately 73.7%) had accepted settlements under the plan, representing RMB2.6 billion (approximately 76.5%) out of the total outstanding investments of RMB3.4 billion under the Camsing Products.

 

8.Contingencies

 

Camsing Incident

 

In December 2025, Shanghai Gopher received a number of arbitration awards issued by the Shanghai International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission in respect of aforementioned legal proceedings, involving a total of 72 independent cases with an aggregate disputed amount of approximately RMB236.7 million. Pursuant to the arbitration awards, Shanghai Gopher was ordered to compensate the relevant investors for 70% of their principal investments, while claims for interest or investment returns were not supported. The arbitration awards and the related pending arbitration proceedings relate solely to Shanghai Gopher, which is a lawfully established and independently operated historical business entity, with independent accounting and independent civil liabilities.

 

As of December 31, 2025, 42 legal proceedings against Shanghai Gopher and/or its affiliates, with an aggregate claimed investment amount over RMB138.1 million were still pending.

 

38

 

 

Starting from December 2025 and up to the date of this announcement, arbitration awards of same nature were issued by the Shanghai International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission in respect of 94 independent cases in total with an aggregate disputed amount of approximately RMB299.8 million.

 

As of the date of this announcement, 23 legal proceedings against Shanghai Gopher and/or its affiliates in connection with the Camsing Incident with an aggregate claimed investment amount over RMB87.4 million were still pending, including 3 new cases initiated subsequent to December 31, 2025. The Group recognized an additional contingent litigation expense of RMB50.2 million based on the difference between (i) the actual compensation amounts ordered under the arbitration awards and (ii) the contingent liabilities previously recorded in respect of the relevant investors who had initiated legal proceedings against Shanghai Gopher and/ or its affiliates as of December 31, 2025. As a result, the remaining balance of the contingent liability was RMB505.5 million as of December 31, 2025.

 

Others

 

The Group is subject to periodic legal or administrative proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Other than those related to the Camsing Incident and the litigation mentioned above, the Group does not have any pending legal or administrative proceedings to which the Group is a party that will have a material effect on its business or financial condition.

9.Segment Information

 

The Group uses the management approach to determine operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Group’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for making decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance.

 

The Group operates in a set of segmentation, including six reportable segments and headquarters. The Group’s CODM has been identified as the chief executive officer, who reviews income (loss) from operations as segment profit/loss measurement to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group. Further, the Group’s CODM reviews and utilizes functional expenses or income, including compensation and benefits, selling expenses, general and administrative expenses, other operating expenses, provision for credit losses and government subsidies to manage the segments’ operations. The Group’s CODM does not review balance sheet information of the segments.

FF305 Page 11 of 15 v 1.3.0 Confirmation Pursuant to Main Board Rule 13.25C / GEM Rule 17.27C, we hereby confirm to the best knowledge, information and belief that, in relation to each issue of shares or sale or transfer of treasury shares as set out in Section I, it has been duly authorised by the board of directors of the listed issuer and carried out in compliance with all applicable listing rules, laws and other regulatory requirements and, insofar as applicable: (Note 7) (i) all money due to the listed issuer in respect of the issue of shares, or sale or transfer of treasury shares has been received by it; (ii) all pre-conditions for the listing imposed by the Main Board Rules / GEM Rules under "Qualifications of listing" have been fulfilled; (iii) all (if any) conditions contained in the formal letter granting listing of and permission to deal in the securities have been fulfilled; (iv) all the securities of each class are in all respects identical (Note 8); (v) all documents required by the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance to be filed with the Registrar of Companies have been duly filed and that compliance has been made with all other legal requirements; (vi) all the definitive documents of title have been delivered/are ready to be delivered/are being prepared and will be delivered in accordance with the terms of issue, sale or transfer; (vii) completion has taken place of the purchase by the issuer of all property shown in the listing document to have been purchased or agreed to be purchased by it and the purchase consideration for all such property has been duly satisfied; and (viii) the trust deed/deed poll relating to the debenture, loan stock, notes or bonds has been completed and executed, and particulars thereof, if so required by law, have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. Notes to Section I: 1. Please insert the closing balance date of the last Next Day Disclosure Return published pursuant to Main Board Rule 13.25A / GEM Rule 17.27A or Monthly Return pursuant to Main Board Rule 13.25B / GEM Rule 17.27B, whichever is the later. 2. Please set out all changes in issued shares or treasury shares requiring disclosure pursuant to Main Board Rule 13.25A / GEM Rule 17.27A together with the relevant dates of changes. Each category will need to be disclosed individually with sufficient information to enable the user to identify the relevant category in the listed issuer's Monthly Return. For example, multiple issues of shares as a result of multiple exercises of share options under the same share option scheme or of multiple conversions under the same convertible note must be aggregated and disclosed as one category. However, if the issues resulted from exercises of share options under 2 share option schemes or conversions of 2 convertible notes, these must be disclosed as 2 separate categories. 3. The percentage change in the number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) of the listed issuer is to be calculated by reference to the opening balance of the number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) being disclosed in this Next Day Disclosure Return.

FF305 Page 12 of 15 v 1.3.0 4. In the case of a share repurchase or redemption, the “issue/ selling price per share” shall be construed as “repurchase price per share” or “redemption price per share”. Where shares have been issued/ sold/ repurchased/ redeemed at more than one price per share, a volume-weighted average price per share should be given. 5. The closing balance date is the date of the last relevant event being disclosed. 6. For repurchase or redemption of shares, disclosure is required when the relevant event has occurred (subject to the provisions of Main Board Rules 10.06(4)(a), 13.25A and 13.31 / GEM Rules 13.13(1), 17.27A and 17.35), even if the repurchased or redeemed shares have not yet been cancelled. If repurchased or redeemed shares are to be cancelled upon settlement of such repurchase or redemption after the closing balance date, they shall remain part of the issued shares as at the closing balance date in Part A. Details of these repurchased or redeemed shares shall be disclosed in Part B. 7. Items (i) to (viii) are suggested forms of confirmation. The listed issuer may amend the item(s) that is/are not applicable to meet individual cases. 8. “Identical” means in this context: - the securities are of the same nominal value with the same amount called up or paid up; - they are entitled to dividend/interest at the same rate and for the same period, so that at the next ensuing distribution, the dividend/interest payable per unit will amount to exactly the same sum (gross and net); and - they carry the same rights as to unrestricted transfer, attendance and voting at meetings and rank pari passu in all other respects.
