- Confirm the nature of the transaction as an acquisition of shares via dividend reinvestment under the Annual Incentive Plan, rather than an open-market purchase.
- Check the transaction price (HKD 104.60) against the prevailing market price on October 22, 2025, to ensure alignment.
- Review the company's latest Form 20-F or annual report for comprehensive financial performance data, as this filing does not contain such metrics.
