Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) has released a Next Day Disclosure Return detailing the latest movements in its A-share capital. As at the close of 16 October 2026, the company’s issued share capital remained unchanged at 4.38 billion A-shares, while treasury shares stood at 28.32 million, mirroring the previous day’s balances.

Key development: • On 16 October 2026, CATL bought back 222,000 A-shares on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for cancellation. The repurchases were executed within a price range of RMB274.29–RMB275.00 per share, resulting in a total outlay of RMB61.02 million and an implied average cost of roughly RMB274.37 per share.

Ongoing cancellation pipeline: • Including the latest transaction, CATL now holds 12.55 million repurchased A-shares that are pending cancellation. These shares, acquired across ten trading sessions between 11 September and 16 October 2026, represent about 0.29% of the company’s 4.38 billion issued shares (excluding treasury shares). • The aggregate buy-back volumes and volume-weighted average prices for each of the ten sessions range from 222,000 shares to 3.10 million shares at per-share prices between RMB274.86 and RMB330.93.

Capital structure impact: • Upon completion of the cancellation process, CATL’s outstanding share count is set to decrease by up to 12.55 million shares, marginally tightening the free float and potentially enhancing per-share metrics. Until cancellation is effected, the repurchased shares remain part of the issued share total but are recorded separately.

Governance confirmation: • CATL affirmed that all repurchases were authorised by its board, funded with company resources, and executed in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, relevant PRC regulations, and Shenzhen Stock Exchange requirements.
