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.
Since the commencement of the buy-back
announced on 30 October 2024, the Company has repurchased
145,444,502 ordinary
shares for a total consideration of approximately
US$1,327.1m.
On 27 November 2024, 28,222,400 of the ordinary
shares of US$0.50 each which were awaiting cancellation having been
repurchased on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange previously were
cancelled. Following cancellation of those shares and following the
cancellation of shares repurchased on the UK Venues, the Company's
issued ordinary share capital will consist of 18,009,286,450
ordinary shares with voting rights. There are no ordinary shares
held in treasury. Cancellation of the shares repurchased today 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 18,009,286,450 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, as amended), a full breakdown of the
individual trades made by Morgan Stanley on behalf of the Company
is available via the link below.
