Guangzhou Xiao Noodles Catering Management Co., Ltd. (H-shares; “Xiao Noodles”) disclosed a Next Day Disclosure Return showing continued progress under its 2026 share-repurchase mandate.

The company bought back 266,000 H-shares on 28 April 2026 via on-exchange transactions at HK$4.19–4.31 per share, spending HK$1.13 million. All shares are designated for cancellation. In line with Hong Kong listing rules, Xiao Noodles is restricted from issuing new shares or transferring treasury shares until 28 May 2026 (30 days after the latest buyback).

Issued share capital stood unchanged at 710.69 million H-shares as of 28 April 2026. However, 5.50 million repurchased shares—acquired between 3 February and 28 April—await cancellation. Once cancelled, the outstanding share count would decrease by the same amount.

Since the current mandate was approved on 26 January 2026, Xiao Noodles has repurchased an aggregate 5.50 million shares for cancellation, equal to 0.77% of the share capital outstanding on the mandate date. The cumulative outlay is estimated at approximately HK$27.82 million, based on disclosed volume-weighted average prices ranging from HK$4.24 to HK$5.96 per share. The mandate authorises buybacks of up to 71.07 million shares, leaving about 65.57 million shares—over 9% of the company’s issued share capital at mandate date—still available for future repurchase.

The board confirmed all buybacks were executed in accordance with Hong Kong Stock Exchange requirements and relevant laws, and no new shares have been issued during the period under review.
