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 30 October 2024, the Company has
repurchased 288,539,139 ordinary shares for a total consideration
of approximately US$2,711.4m.
On 22 January 2025, 18,088,800 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
17,855,015,813 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 17,855,015,813 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.
