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 338,871,599 ordinary shares for a total
consideration of approximately
US$2,959.9m
The Company's issued ordinary share capital is
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
