The repurchased shares were retained as treasury stock, lifting the treasury balance to 22.54 million shares.

Key share-capital metrics • Authorised capital remained unchanged at 4.50 billion Class A WVR shares and 0.50 billion Class B WVR shares, together representing USD 50,000 of authorised capital at USD 0.00001 par value. • Total issued shares across all classes were stable at 1.03 billion; the decline in Class A outstanding shares was offset by a matching increase in treasury shares, leaving the total issued figure unchanged at 972.51 million for Class A and 54.81 million for Class B. • Public float for Class A shares complied with the 15 per cent minimum requirement under Hong Kong Stock Exchange rules.

Remaining shares available for future issuance under this plan total 86.66 million; no further grants will be made following the Hong Kong listing in November 2025. • 2026 Share Plan: authorised on 13 March 2026 with capacity for 95.50 million share options; no grants or exercises occurred in April. • Share awards that may still be issued under the 2018 plan amount to 13.94 million shares, while the 2026 plan had no awards outstanding at month-end.
