Helens International Holdings Company Limited (HELENS) has submitted its Monthly Return to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the period ended 31 March 2026, detailing a modest contraction in its share base driven by on-market repurchases.

The group cancelled 475,000 ordinary shares on 5 March 2026, following a repurchase mandate approved on 14 May 2025. As a result, the total number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) decreased to 1,265.00 million from 1,265.48 million at February-end, a reduction of approximately 0.04%. No shares were held as treasury stock after the transaction.

Authorised share capital remained unchanged at 500 trillion ordinary shares with a par value of USD 0.0000000001 each, equating to an aggregate authorised capital of USD 50,000.

HELENS confirmed that it continued to meet the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s public-float requirement. In line with a previously granted waiver, the company maintained a free float at or above the stipulated 20.73% of its enlarged issued share capital as at 31 March 2026.

The filing shows no movements involving share options, warrants, convertible securities or other equity-linked instruments during the month.

The Monthly Return was filed by Company Secretary Lui Wing Yat Christopher on 8 April 2026.
