Management Commentary and Risks
Strategic Rationale: Management aims to strengthen confidence in the Company's long-term value, maintain harmony between market conditions and fundamentals, and support sustainable growth.
Execution Method: Repurchases may occur gradually or all at once, either through the Stock Exchange or privately. If executed via the Stock Exchange, transactions will be handled by one member.
Price Limitations: The offer price must be lower than or equal to the previous transaction price and deemed "good and reasonable."
Risks and Contingencies:
- The Company may terminate the buyback early if the target is reached, the budget is exhausted, the one-year period ends, or if management deems it necessary.
- Treasury shares acquired will not carry voting rights, count toward quorum, or receive dividends.
- Insiders and related parties are prohibited from trading on the same day as the Company's buyback transactions.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Confirm the final approval of the buyback plan at the General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS) scheduled for May 27, 2025.
- Monitor the actual execution volume and average price paid during the buyback period (May 2025 – May 2026).
- Verify that the post-buyback free float remains above the 7.5% regulatory threshold.
- Review subsequent quarterly reports to ensure the reduction in cash and equity aligns with the pro forma estimates provided.
- Check for any announcements regarding early termination of the buyback program.
