Confirmation
Pursuant to Main Board Rule 13.25C / GEM Rule 17.27C, we hereby confirm to the best knowledge, information and belief that, in relation to each issue of shares or sale or transfer of treasury
shares as set out in Section I, it has been duly authorised by the board of directors of the listed issuer and carried out in compliance with all applicable listing rules, laws and other regulatory
requirements and, insofar as applicable:
(Note 7)
(i) all money due to the listed issuer in respect of the issue of shares, or sale or transfer of treasury shares has been received by it;
(ii) all pre-conditions for the listing imposed by the Main Board Rules / GEM Rules under "Qualifications of listing" have been fulfilled;
(iii) all (if any) conditions contained in the formal letter granting listing of and permission to deal in the securities have been fulfilled;
(iv) all the securities of each class are in all respects identical (Note 8);
(v) all documents required by the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance to be filed with the Registrar of Companies have been duly filed and that compliance has
been made with all other legal requirements;
(vi) all the definitive documents of title have been delivered/are ready to be delivered/are being prepared and will be delivered in accordance with the terms of issue, sale or transfer;
(vii) completion has taken place of the purchase by the issuer of all property shown in the listing document to have been purchased or agreed to be purchased by it and the purchase
consideration for all such property has been duly satisfied; and
(viii) the trust deed/deed poll relating to the debenture, loan stock, notes or bonds has been completed and executed, and particulars thereof, if so required by law, have been filed with the
Registrar of Companies.
Notes to Section I:
1. Please insert the closing balance date of the last Next Day Disclosure Return published pursuant to Main Board Rule 13.25A / GEM Rule 17.27A or Monthly Return pursuant to Main
Board Rule 13.25B / GEM Rule 17.27B, whichever is the later.
2. Please set out all changes in issued shares or treasury shares requiring disclosure pursuant to Main Board Rule 13.25A / GEM Rule 17.27A together with the relevant dates of
changes. Each category will need to be disclosed individually with sufficient information to enable the user to identify the relevant category in the listed issuer's Monthly Return. For
example, multiple issues of shares as a result of multiple exercises of share options under the same share option scheme or of multiple conversions under the same convertible note
must be aggregated and disclosed as one category. However, if the issues resulted from exercises of share options under 2 share option schemes or conversions of 2 convertible
notes, these must be disclosed as 2 separate categories.
3. The percentage change in the number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) of the listed issuer is to be calculated by reference to the opening balance of the number of issued
shares (excluding treasury shares) being disclosed in this Next Day Disclosure Return. |
| FF305
Page 6 of 9 v 1.3.0
4. In the case of a share repurchase or redemption, the “issue/ selling price per share” shall be construed as “repurchase price per share” or “redemption price per share”.
Where shares have been issued/ sold/ repurchased/ redeemed at more than one price per share, a volume-weighted average price per share should be given.
5. The closing balance date is the date of the last relevant event being disclosed.
6. For repurchase or redemption of shares, disclosure is required when the relevant event has occurred (subject to the provisions of Main Board Rules 10.06(4)(a), 13.25A and 13.31 /
GEM Rules 13.13(1), 17.27A and 17.35), even if the repurchased or redeemed shares have not yet been cancelled.
If repurchased or redeemed shares are to be cancelled upon settlement of such repurchase or redemption after the closing balance date, they shall remain part of the issued shares as
at the closing balance date in Part A. Details of these repurchased or redeemed shares shall be disclosed in Part B.
7. Items (i) to (viii) are suggested forms of confirmation. The listed issuer may amend the item(s) that is/are not applicable to meet individual cases.
8. “Identical” means in this context:
- the securities are of the same nominal value with the same amount called up or paid up;
- they are entitled to dividend/interest at the same rate and for the same period, so that at the next ensuing distribution, the dividend/interest payable per unit will amount to
exactly the same sum (gross and net); and
- they carry the same rights as to unrestricted transfer, attendance and voting at meetings and rank pari passu in all other respects. |

Exhibit 99.3
MINISO to Acquire Stake in Yonghui Superstores,
a Leading Chinese Retailer
GUANGZHOU, China, September 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- MINISO Group Holding Limited (NYSE: MNSO; HKEX: 9896) (“MINISO”, “MINISO Group” or the “Company”),
a global value retailer offering a variety of trendy lifestyle products featuring IP design, today announced that it has entered into
share purchase agreements with certain shareholders of Yonghui Superstores Co., Ltd (“Yonghui”), to acquire an aggregate of
29.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Yonghui for a total cash consideration of approximately RMB6.3 billion. Upon the consummation
of the transaction, the Company expects to become the largest single shareholder of Yonghui.
Yonghui is a leading retail chain operator in
China, listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (stock code: 601933) since 2010. It operates approximately 850 supermarkets, offering fresh
produce and daily necessities to consumers across China. Yonghui is one of the first distribution enterprises in the PRC to introduce
fresh produce into modern supermarkets. In terms of sales scale, it has consistently ranked second among the top 100 supermarkets in the
PRC in recent years. In 2023, Yonghui generated approximately RMB78.6 billion in revenue.
The share purchase agreements were entered into
between Guangdong Juncai International Trading Co., Ltd., a wholly owned PRC subsidiary of the Company (“Guangdong Juncai”),
and the respective sellers. The Dairy Farm Company, Limited, the seller under one of the share purchase agreements, is an indirectly wholly-owned
subsidiary of DFI Retail Group Holdings Limited, which is a member of the Jardine Matheson Group. Beijing Jingdong Century Trade Co., Ltd.
and Suqian Hanbang Investment Management Co., Ltd., the sellers under the other share purchase agreement, are both indirectly wholly-owned
subsidiaries of JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ Trading Symbol: JD; HKEX Stock Codes: 9618 (HKD counter) and 89618 (RMB counter)).
Pursuant to the share purchase agreements, at
the closing of the transaction, Guangdong Juncai will pay to each seller a cash consideration based on a per share price of RMB2.35, which
represents a premium of 3.1% to the closing price of Yonghui’s shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on September 20, 2024.
The Company expects to fund the transaction with a combination of internal financial resources and external financing.
Concurrently with the execution of the share purchase
agreements, the Company entered into parent guarantees to guarantee the due performance of Guangdong Juncai of its obligations under the
share purchase agreements. Additionally, Mr. Guofu Ye, Chairman, CEO and the controlling shareholder of the Company, has given an
irrevocable undertaking to each of the sellers under the share purchase agreements to vote in favor of any resolution approving the transaction
at the Company’s shareholder meetings.
Mr. Ye commented, “I firmly believe
that this transaction presents great growth potential for our company and will bring long-term value to our shareholders. With our support
and leveraging our expertise in design-led products, Yonghui will be poised to develop higher-quality self-branded products to cater to
evolving consumer needs. Furthermore, I believe that our collaboration with Yonghui in retail channel upgrade and supply chain will
enable us to share resources to further enhance economies of scale, optimize the cost structure and create value for consumers. This transaction
will also expand our access to the essential goods sector, allowing us to diversify our business and mitigate cyclical risks.”
“Meanwhile, we remain confident in and committed
to the growth of our existing business, and will continue to strategically invest in its development and expansion. We are determined
to achieve MINISO’s five-year development strategy of growing our core business at a compound annual growth rate of no less than
20% over the next five years, excluding the potential impact of this transaction.” Mr. Ye concluded.
The transaction is subject to customary closing
conditions, including obtaining antitrust clearance from the State Administration for Market Regulation of China, securing or completing
other necessary regulatory approvals or procedures, as well as receiving the approval of the Company’s shareholders. The Company
currently expects the transaction to close in the first half of 2025. Under the share purchase agreements, Guangdong Juncai undertakes
to comply with the sell-down restrictions under the applicable laws with respect to the acquired Yonghui shares following the completion
of the transaction.
Conference Call
To further respond to any inquiries in relation
to the transaction and enhance communication with shareholders regarding this matter, the Company’s management will hold a conference
call at 9:00 A.M. Eastern Time on Monday, September 23, 2024 (9:00 P.M. Beijing Time on the same day). Simultaneous interpretation

In determining the Consideration, the
Directors have considered the historical market price of the Target Shares traded on the SSE as a benchmark to reflect the prevailing
market conditions and recent market sentiment.
Based on the Consideration in the amount of RMB6,270,118,134

| (a) | a premium of 3.5% to RMB2.27, being the volume-weighted average price of the Target Shares on the 20 Trading
Days during the period commencing from August 22, 2024 to September 20, 2024; and |

the parties to the Share Purchase Agreements. Upon Completion, the financial results of the Target Group will not be consolidated into
the accounts of the Company, and the financial results of the Target Group will be accounted for as investment in associates in the financial

pragmatically building a platform-type enterprise for the food supply chain that adapts to current development.
The Group continues to be optimistic about the development of the
offline retail industry in the PRC. This Acquisition is in line with the Company’s overall strategy and is beneficial to the Shareholders
as a whole. Given that the Target Group is one of the leading supermarket chain operators in the PRC with a high-quality store network,
well-established logistics infrastructure, loyal customer base and strong digital system capabilities, the Group believes that:
| (i) | the Target Group's ongoing adjustment and reform in its stores is a revolutionary attempt to return to
the essence of retail business. This is an inevitable trend in the development of the supermarket industry in the PRC, which will provide
consumers with a positive shopping experience and create a fulfilling working environment for employees. As a result, it will help the
Target Group gain favorable brand image and reputation, ultimately creating significant commercial and social value. This cultural orientation
highly aligns with the Group's corporate mission of “Life is for fun”; |
| (ii) | the Group possesses unique capabilities and experience in developing its self-brands, designs and IP products.
After the Acquisition, the Group can support the Target Group through business collaboration, allowing the Target Group to leverage the
Group's strengths to develop higher quality self-branded products at lower costs. This is expected to enhance the Target Group's differentiated
competitive ability. The Target Group operates approximately 850 retail supermarkets across over 25 provinces and municipalities and has
established a vast store network and supply chain in the PRC. The Group and the Target Group can share resources through business cooperations
to further enhance economies of scale, optimize the cost structure and create more value for consumers, which will thereby enhance the
Group's return on investment; and |
| (iii) | the Acquisition will expand the Group's investment and operational channels in the daily necessities retail
business, enabling the Group to diversify its cyclical business risks, which is of significant strategic importance to the Group. |
For the foregoing reasons, the Directors
are of the view that the Acquisition and the Share Purchase Agreements are on normal commercial terms agreed upon after arm’s length
negotiations between the parties with reference to the prevailing market conditions and are fair and reasonable, and are in the interests
of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.
None of the Directors has any material
interest in the Acquisition and the Share Purchase Agreements and is required to abstain from voting on the board resolutions approving
the Acquisition and the Share Purchase Agreements.
The Company confirms that it will continue
to operate and expand the existing business of the Group. As a global value retailer offering a variety of trendy lifestyle products featuring
IP design, the Company remains optimistic and will further invest and develop its existing business strategically.
Further, the Company does not have any
current intention or plan to further invest in the Target Company other than the Acquisition as detailed in this announcement. Notwithstanding
the above, in the case where there is any change of intention or circumstances, the Company shall ensure compliance with all the applicable
Listing Rules.
