Positive

• Repurchase completed under shareholder-authorised programme, indicating board support for capital return
• Shares to be cancelled, which will reduce the issued share count to 2,564,480,826
• Transaction executed on-exchange in compliance with LSE Listing Rules and Hong Kong buy-back code

Negative

• Relatively small volume (298,984 shares) — unlikely to have a material near-term impact on earnings per share
• No disclosure of remaining buyback authority or total spend, limiting assessment of future buyback scale
