China Starch Holdings Limited reported the repurchase of 1.45 million ordinary shares on 20 August 2026 via on-market transactions on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The buy-back, carried out at prices ranging from HK$0.156 to HK$0.157 per share, involved total consideration of approximately HK$0.23 million, translating into a volume-weighted average price of HK$0.1567 per share.

The repurchased shares represent 0.02 % of the company’s 5.81 billion issued shares (excluding treasury shares) outstanding before the transaction. All repurchased shares have been retained as treasury shares, taking the company’s treasury stock balance to 1.45 million shares as at 20 August 2026.

Following the transaction, China Starch’s issued share capital remains at 5.81 billion shares, of which 5.81 billion are outstanding and 1.45 million are held in treasury. No shares have been cancelled to date.

The buy-back was executed under the general mandate approved by shareholders on 12 May 2026, which authorises the company to repurchase up to 596.45 million shares. Cumulative repurchases under this mandate now stand at 131.55 million shares, equivalent to 2.21 % of the issued share base on the mandate date, leaving ample headroom for further activity. Under Hong Kong listing rules, China Starch is subject to a moratorium on issuing new shares or disposing of treasury shares until 19 September 2026.

The disclosure was filed by Company Secretary Mr Leung Siu Hong on 20 August 2026 in compliance with Hong Kong Stock Exchange requirements.
