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 31 October 2023, the Company has repurchased
378,848,753 ordinary shares for a total consideration of
approximately US$2,920.5m.
The Company's issued ordinary share capital is
19,105,832,376 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 19,105,832,376 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 the link
