Meitu, Inc., the Hong Kong-listed imaging-technology company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, reported two capital-structure moves effective 8–15 September 2026.

• Option exercise adds 1.35 million shares On 8 September 2026, 1.35 million new ordinary shares (0.03 % of outstanding) were issued at USD 0.03 per share under the Pre-IPO Employees’ Share Option Plan amended in November 2015. The issuance lifted the total share count to 4.524 billion.

• Buy-back of 5.10 million shares on 15 September 2026 Meitu repurchased 5.10 million shares on-market at prices ranging from HKD 3.805 to HKD 4.03, for a volume-weighted average of HKD 3.8954. The transaction cost HKD 19.87 million and the repurchased shares are being held in treasury.

• Net impact on capital base After both events, Meitu’s issued shares outstanding (excluding treasury stock) declined by 3.75 million to 4.519 billion—a 0.08 % reduction versus the 31 August 2026 balance. Treasury shares increased to 68.10 million.

• Status of repurchase mandate The buyback forms part of a mandate approved on 5 June 2026 authorising repurchases of up to 454.86 million shares. Cumulative purchases under this mandate now total 30.57 million shares, representing 0.67 % of the share base on the mandate date. Following the latest repurchase, Meitu is subject to a 30-day moratorium on new share issues or treasury-share sales, expiring 15 October 2026.

The disclosure underscores Meitu’s ongoing capital-management strategy combining selective option issuances with regular share repurchases.
