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 7 May 2024, the
Company has repurchased 325,120,399 ordinary shares for a total
consideration of approximately US$2,841.9m.
On 17 July 2024, 28,218,800 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 the Company's issued ordinary share
capital is 18,518,135,661 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 18,518,135,661 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 below.
