Nexteer Announces First Share Repurchase Programme of Up to US$60 Million

Programme reflects confidence in long-term prospects and commitment to disciplined capital allocation.

HONG KONG, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nexteer Automotive today announced that its Board of Directors has approved on November 12, 2026, the Company's first share repurchase programme of up to US$60 million, equivalent to approximately HK$471 million.

The programme reflects the Board's confidence in Nexteer's business and long-term prospects. The Group's strong liquidity position supports returning capital to shareholders while continuing to invest in the business and its future development.

Disciplined Capital Allocation

The programme complements Nexteer's dividend distributions and represents a further step in returning capital to shareholders. It follows the dividend paid out in July 2026 of approximately US$46 million, representing 45% of the Company's net income attributable to shareholders for the year ending December 31, 2025 —and the highest dividend payout ratio in the Company's history.

Nexteer remains committed to disciplined capital allocation, balancing investment in the business with opportunities to enhance shareholder returns and create long-term value.

Share Repurchase Programme Details

Repurchases will be made on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited under the general repurchase mandate granted by shareholders on June 17, 2026, in accordance with applicable listing rules, laws and regulations and the Company's memorandum and articles of association. The Company may cancel any shares repurchased at the relevant times of the repurchases.

The programme is expected to run from Board approval until the conclusion of Nexteer's next annual general meeting, unless amended or terminated earlier by the Board. Implementation will depend on market conditions, the Company's capital requirements and the Board's continuing assessment. The timing, number and price of repurchases will be determined from time to time at the Board's discretion. There is no assurance as to the timing, quantity or price of any repurchase, or that the programme will be implemented in full or at all. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Company's securities.
