The programme aims to acquire up to 4,786,800 ordinary shares and global depositary receipts (GDRs), representing about 1.3% of the company’s total issued shares, with a budget of USD 12 million. This initiative, starting on April 30, 2024, and ending by February 8, 2025, is designed to fulfill obligations under employee incentive schemes.
