Yum China Holdings, Inc. disclosed fresh share capital movements to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 25 August 2026. The filing covers activity up to 24 August 2026 and details a minor share issuance tied to employee incentives alongside ongoing execution of the company’s 2026 repurchase programme.

• Share issuance: On 24 August 2026, the company allotted 2,056 new ordinary shares at USD 48.92 each to settle awards granted under its long-term incentive plans. The move lifted the company’s outstanding share count by less than 0.01%, from 342,230,879 to 342,232,935 shares.

• Hong Kong repurchases: Between 2 July and 24 August 2026, Yum China bought back 824,550 shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at prices ranging from HKD 323.99 to HKD 386.31 per share. The latest HK-market tranche, executed on 24 August, involved 22,400 shares for a consideration of HKD 8.50 million at a price range of HKD 376.20–385.60. All repurchased shares are earmarked for cancellation.

• U.S. repurchases: Parallel transactions on the New York Stock Exchange added a further 122,714 shares to the buyback tally. On 24 August, 56,066 shares were repurchased at USD 47.11–48.74 per share for USD 2.70 million, also designated for cancellation.

• Cumulative progress: Since shareholders renewed the buyback mandate on 28 May 2026, Yum China has repurchased 5.55 million shares, representing 1.6% of the company’s issued share capital at the mandate date. The authorisation permits repurchases of up to 34.66 million shares, leaving significant capacity for additional purchases.

All repurchase transactions were executed via independent brokers—those in the United States under a Rule 10b5-1 plan and those in Hong Kong through an automatic share repurchase agreement—complying with respective market regulations.

Following the minimal share issuance and before cancellation of the repurchased stock, Yum China’s issued share capital stood at 342.23 million ordinary shares as of 24 August 2026.
