The largest single-day purchase occurred on 17 July, when 6.80 million shares were repurchased at HK$0.20544 each.

Capital Structure and Compliance Despite the reduction in free-float shares, Virscend Education confirmed compliance with the Hong Kong Main Board’s minimum public-float requirement of 25% of issued share capital.

Implications The buy-back initiative demonstrates management’s active approach to capital allocation, potentially signaling confidence in the company’s valuation while providing flexibility through treasury share holdings.
