All repurchases on the London Stock Exchange,
Cboe Europe Limited (through the BXE and CXE order books) and/or
Turquoise ("UK Venues") are
implemented as "on Exchange" transactions (as such term is defined
in the rules of the London Stock Exchange) and as "market
purchases" for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006.
There were no repurchases on The Stock Exchange
of Hong Kong Limited.
Since the commencement of the buy-back
announced on 22 February 2024, the Company has repurchased
168,490,160 ordinary
shares for a total consideration of approximately
US$1,297.6m.
Following the cancellation of the shares
repurchased on the UK Venues, the Company's issued ordinary share
capital will consist of 18,947,467,098 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 18,947,467,098 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 Merrill Lynch on behalf of the Company is available via the
