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.
There
were no repurchases on the London Stock Exchange, Aquis Exchange,
Cboe Europe Limited (through the BXE and CXE order books) and/or
Turquoise ("UK
Venues").
Since
the commencement of the buy-back announced on 7 May 2024, the
Company has repurchased 85,376,876 ordinary shares for a total
consideration of approximately US$752.7m.
Following
the cancellation of the shares repurchased on the UK Venues, the
Company's issued ordinary share capital will consist of
18,767,557,184 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 18,767,557,184 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 Morgan Stanley on behalf
of the Company is available via the link below.
