Yum China Holdings, Inc. (Yum China) disclosed on 13 October 2026 that it has continued to advance its share-repurchase programme, with no change in its issued share capital during the period under review. The company’s outstanding share count remains at 338.68 million ordinary shares as of 12 October 2026.

From 11 September to 12 October 2026, Yum China bought back a total of 620,454 shares for cancellation that had not yet been cancelled by the period-end. The purchases comprise 492,950 shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) and 127,504 shares on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The aggregate represents approximately 0.18 % of the company’s issued share capital.

Latest transactions (12 October 2026): • HKEX – 23,800 shares repurchased at HKD 333.60–340.40, for a total outlay of HKD 7.99 million (average price: HKD 335.40). • NYSE – 63,357 shares repurchased at USD 42.23–42.82, costing USD 2.70 million (average price: USD 42.63).

Cumulative progress under the shareholder-approved buyback mandate (authorised on 28 May 2026) has reached 8.79 million shares, equivalent to 2.54 % of the company’s issued share base at the mandate date. The mandate permits repurchases of up to 34.66 million shares, leaving approximately 25.87 million shares available for future buybacks.

All repurchases were executed by independent brokers—HKEX trades under a pre-established automatic share repurchase agreement, and NYSE purchases under a Rule 10b5-1 plan—and are intended for subsequent cancellation. Yum China confirmed that the transactions complied with the Hong Kong Listing Rules and relevant U.S. regulations.
