Nanhua Futures Co., Ltd. disclosed its Monthly Return for Equity Issuer for September 2026, highlighting an active share-buyback programme on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX).

Key developments

1. Aggressive H-share repurchases Between 1 and 24 September 2026, the company repurchased 3.15 million H-shares on the open market at prices ranging from HK$6.56 to HK$6.98 per share. The purchases cost an estimated HK$21.37 million, implying an average buyback price of approximately HK$6.79 per share.

2. Reduction in outstanding H-shares • Opening balance (31 Aug 2026): 154.22 million H-shares • Shares repurchased and held in treasury: 3.15 million • Closing balance (30 Sep 2026): 151.08 million H-shares

The buybacks lowered the free-floating H-share count by 2.04%, while the number of treasury H-shares increased to 5.03 million—about 3.22% of total issued H-shares (156.11 million).

3. Stable authorised and A-share capital Authorised/registered capital remained unchanged at 1.04 billion shares (RMB 1.04 billion nominal value). The Shanghai-listed A-share segment was static at 876.36 million issued shares, with 5.68 million held as treasury stock.

4. Public float remains adequate Despite the reduction in tradable H-shares, the company confirmed compliance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules’ minimum 5% public-float requirement for PRC issuers.

5. No new equity instruments There were no share option grants, warrant issues, convertible securities, or other equity arrangements during the month.

Bottom line September’s HK$21.37 million buyback marks a continued commitment by Nanhua Futures to deploy surplus liquidity in enhancing shareholder value through treasury share accumulation, without impacting its overall authorised capital or public-float compliance.
