China Mobile Limited reported a modest expansion of its equity base in August 2026, driven exclusively by employee share-option exercises.

Key Developments • Issued Share Increase: The company’s Hong Kong-listed ordinary shares rose by 3.72 million to 20.79 billion, while treasury shares remained nil. Mainland-listed RMB shares were unchanged at 902.77 million. • Option Exercises: Two option tranches—priced at HKD 55.00 and HKD 51.60—generated 3.72 million new shares (1.16 million and 2.56 million, respectively). Associated cash proceeds totaled HKD 196.08 million. • Outstanding Options: Post-exercise, 481.61 million options remain outstanding (68.31 million under the HKD 55.00 scheme; 413.30 million under the HKD 51.60 scheme). Up to 1.23 billion additional shares could be issued if all approvals are utilised. • Public Float: The company confirmed compliance with Hong Kong’s minimum 5 percent public-float requirement for PRC issuers with dual listings. • Other Instruments: No new warrants, convertible securities, share buy-backs, or treasury share movements were reported during the month.

Capital Structure Snapshot (31 Aug 2026) • Hong Kong Shares in issue: 20.79 billion • RMB Shares in issue: 0.90 billion • Treasury shares: 0

Overall, August’s activity reflects routine employee incentive exercises with limited dilution (0.018 percent of Hong Kong shares) and incremental capital inflow, leaving the group’s broader capital structure largely stable.
