Black Sesame International Holding Limited disclosed marginal adjustments to its share capital following a small share award exercise and a single-day on-market buyback.

On 15 May 2026, the company issued 7,000 new ordinary shares to a non-director participant of its Pre-IPO Share Plan (adopted 7 September 2016; amended 31 December 2021) at a volume-weighted price of HKD 3.2147 per share. The issuance expanded the outstanding share base by 0.001 percentage points to 712.50 million shares (excluding treasury shares).

Subsequently, on 18 May 2026, Black Sesame repurchased 186,300 shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at prices between HKD 16.32 and HKD 16.43, spending HKD 3.06 million in total. These shares, equal to 0.026 % of the pre-repurchase issued share capital, were retained as treasury stock.

After both transactions, the company’s capital structure stood at: • Issued shares (excluding treasury): 712.31 million • Treasury shares: 1.98 million • Total shares in issue: 714.29 million

The buyback was executed under the general mandate approved on 30 May 2025, which authorises repurchases of up to 63.18 million shares. Cumulative purchases under this mandate now total 1.98 million shares, representing 0.31 % of the share count at the mandate date. A 30-day moratorium on new share issues or treasury share sales applies until 17 June 2026.
