On 6 October 2026, Cowell e Holdings Inc. (COWELL) reported to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that it repurchased 240,000 ordinary shares during on-market trading the same day. The buyback was executed within a price range of HKD 22.78 to HKD 23.12 per share, yielding a volume-weighted average cost of HKD 22.94 and an aggregate consideration of HKD 5.51 million.

The transaction reduced the company’s issued share count (excluding treasury shares) by 0.028 %—from 865.44 million to 865.20 million—while total issued shares remained unchanged at 870.05 million. Treasury shares increased from 4.61 million to 4.85 million, as the repurchased stock is being retained rather than cancelled.

The buyback forms part of a mandate approved on 28 May 2026, authorising the company to repurchase up to 86.83 million shares. Including the latest purchase, COWELL has repurchased 4.85 million shares under this authority, representing 0.559 % of the issued share base at the mandate’s adoption.

In accordance with listing rules, the company faces a moratorium on issuing new shares or disposing of treasury shares until 5 November 2026. No shares have been earmarked for cancellation at this stage; all repurchased shares are currently held in treasury.
