Key takeaways
1. Latest on-market repurchase • Trading date: 29 September 2026 • Volume: 200,000 ordinary shares earmarked for cancellation • Price range: HKD 1.715–1.74 per share • Aggregate consideration: HKD 0.35 million, implying an average repurchase price of HKD 1.74 per share.
2. Cumulative repurchases pending cancellation • Between 31 August and 29 September 2026 the company bought back 3.80 million shares across 19 trading sessions, each tranche comprising 200,000 shares. • Volume-weighted average purchase price: approximately HKD 1.77 per share. • Estimated total outlay: about HKD 6.73 million. • The 3.80 million shares represent roughly 0.22 % of the 1.71 billion outstanding shares prior to the first repurchase on 31 August 2026. These shares have not yet been cancelled, leaving the issued share capital unchanged at 1.71 billion shares as of 29 September 2026.
3. Status of repurchase mandate • Shareholders granted a mandate on 13 May 2026 authorising ES SERVICES to repurchase up to 171.74 million shares. • Total shares repurchased under this authority now stand at 13.55 million, equivalent to 0.79 % of the company’s issued shares on the mandate date—utilising roughly 7.9 % of the approved limit. • In line with Hong Kong listing rules, the company is subject to a 30-day moratorium on issuing new shares or selling treasury shares until 29 October 2026.
4. Compliance confirmation The board affirmed that all repurchases were conducted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in accordance with Main Board Rule 10.06 and related regulations. All necessary approvals, filings, and regulatory requirements have been duly observed.
Capital impact Although the current balance of issued shares remains at 1.71 billion, the forthcoming cancellation of the 3.80 million repurchased shares will marginally reduce the share base, subject to settlement completion.
