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 333,871,599 ordinary
shares for a total consideration of approximately
US$2,917.0m.
Following the cancellation of the shares repurchased on the UK
Venues, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will consist of
18,518,135,661 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 18,518,135,661 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.
