Standard Chartered PLC (STANCHART) reported to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 19 May 2026 that it repurchased 792,070 ordinary shares on 18 May 2026 across the London Stock Exchange, CBOE BXE and CBOE CXE. The volume-weighted price ranged from GBP 18.70 to GBP 19.23 per share, with total consideration of GBP 15.04 million. All shares will be cancelled; none will be held as treasury stock.

Including this transaction, 4.71 million shares repurchased between 11–18 May 2026 remain outstanding pending cancellation. The issued share capital therefore stands unchanged at 2.21 billion shares until the cancellations take effect. The latest daily buyback represents 0.0358% of the current issued share base.

Shareholders granted a mandate at the 7 May 2026 AGM authorising the company to repurchase up to 221.63 million shares. Since that approval, STANCHART has acquired 5.49 million shares—equivalent to 0.25% of shares in issue at the mandate date.

The company confirms that all repurchases were executed in compliance with domestic rules governing the respective trading venues and the Hong Kong Listing Rules. No new shares may be issued for 30 days following the latest repurchase without prior Exchange approval.
