Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) filed a Next Day Disclosure Return with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 21 September 2026, outlining minor share issuance under its equity incentive scheme and continued execution of its A-share repurchase programme.

CATL allotted 6,037 new A-shares on 21 September under the stock option and restricted share incentive plan approved on 5 September 2022. Priced at RMB 270.53 per share, the issue enlarged the company’s outstanding share capital by an immaterial 0.00% (c.0.0001%), bringing the issued shares (excluding treasury stock) to 4,380,621,225. Treasury shares remained unchanged at 28.32 million, setting CATL’s total issued share count at 4.41 billion.

Share buybacks were more significant. On 21 September, CATL repurchased 3,687,462 A-shares on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange at prices ranging from RMB 296.26 to RMB 301.00, for a volume-weighted consideration of RMB 1.10 billion. The shares, equal to 0.08% of the issued share base, are designated for cancellation.

Between 11 and 21 September, the company disclosed four repurchase tranches—totalling 8.90 million shares (0.20% of issued shares)—at individual average prices of RMB 330.93, RMB 305.65, RMB 301.70 and RMB 298.27. Based on these disclosed prices and volumes, the cumulative cash outlay for the period amounts to approximately RMB 2.70 billion, implying an aggregate average repurchase price of roughly RMB 303.60 per share.

CATL confirmed that all equity issuances and repurchases were duly authorised by the board and executed in full compliance with applicable listing rules and domestic regulations. All repurchased shares are intended for cancellation, which will reduce the company’s share count once the process is completed, partly offset by the negligible dilution from the latest incentive share issue.
