Insights

TL;DR: A routine on-market buyback of 298,985 shares was executed and the company will cancel the shares; the transaction materially does not change share count.

The purchase of 298,985 shares represents a very small fraction of the reported 2,571,034,285 shares in issue. The announcement confirms the buyback complied with exchange and Hong Kong buy-back rules and that the repurchased shares will be cancelled. The update to the issued share count and voting rights provides the standard denominator for disclosure rules. No financial amounts beyond trade prices and volumes for the specific transaction are introduced in the filing.

TL;DR: The transaction follows shareholder-authorized buyback procedures and includes cancellation, maintaining governance transparency.

The filing documents that the repurchase was executed under the authority granted at the 2025 AGM and under the arrangement with Merrill Lynch International. It specifies compliance with Listing Rules and Hong Kong on-market rules and publishes the post-transaction issued share and voting rights figure for regulatory clarity. The disclosure includes a link to the detailed trade breakdown as required by market abuse regulation provisions.
