YNBY International Announces Share Buy-Back Scheme
YNBY International Limited Announces Substantial On-Market Share Buy-Back Scheme
Hong Kong, 18 March 2026 – YNBY International Limited (Stock Code: 00030) has announced a significant new initiative that could impact its share price: the Board of Directors has resolved to implement a large-scale on-market share buy-back scheme, leveraging a Buy-back Mandate approved at the company’s recent Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Key Highlights of the Share Buy-Back Announcement
- Buy-back Mandate: The Board has been authorized by shareholders at the AGM held on 16 May 2025 to repurchase up to 10% of the total number of shares in issue, equating to a maximum of 679,991,416 ordinary shares.
- Maximum Funds Allocated: The company intends to utilize up to HK\$39,000,000 from its existing cash reserves and free cash flow (excluding any external borrowing) to finance the repurchases.
- Implementation Period: The buy-back may commence from 18 March 2026 and will continue until the earliest of:
- The conclusion of the next AGM (unless renewed),
- The expiry of the period required by Bermuda law or the Company’s Bye-laws to hold the next AGM, or
- Revocation or revision of the Buy-back Mandate by shareholders at a general meeting.
- Purpose and Rationale: The Board believes the buy-back demonstrates confidence in the Company’s business outlook and prospects, and aligns with its long-term development strategy. Management views the initiative as being in the best interests of both the Company and its shareholders.
- Disposal of Repurchased Shares: The Company may either cancel the repurchased shares or hold them in treasury, subject to further shareholder approval, market conditions, and capital management needs at the time of repurchase.
- Regulatory Compliance: All repurchases will be in accordance with the Company’s Bye-laws, the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Buy-backs, and applicable laws of Hong Kong and Bermuda. The repurchase price per share will not exceed 5% above the average closing price over the five trading days preceding each repurchase.
- Public Float Protection: The mandate will not be exercised in a manner that would trigger a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code or cause the public shareholding to fall below the minimum requirement.
Important Considerations for Shareholders and Investors
- Share Price Impact: Share buy-backs may support the Company’s share price by reducing the number of shares in circulation, potentially increasing earnings per share and signaling management’s confidence in the Company’s prospects. However, the timing, quantity, and pricing of buy-backs are at the Company’s absolute discretion and subject to market conditions.
- Uncertainty and Market Sensitivity: There is no assurance regarding the extent or timing of the buy-backs, and investors should be aware that the Company may adjust or suspend the program depending on circumstances.
- Potential Price Sensitivity: Any significant repurchases under this scheme, or changes to the mandate, could have a material effect on the share price due to reduced supply and perceived management confidence.
