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 31 October 2023, the Company has repurchased
348,457,929 ordinary shares for a total consideration of
approximately US$2,681.7m.
Following the cancellation of the shares
repurchased on the UK Venues, the Company's issued ordinary share
capital will consist of 19,143,832,400 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 19,143,832,400 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 as required under
the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules in the UK and/or the
Securities and Future Ordinance in Hong Kong.
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
