董事會批准股份回購計劃

公司董事會已授權一項股份回購計劃,據此,公司可於24個月內回購總值最多2,000萬美元的公司A類普通股(「回購計劃」)。

根據上述回購計劃,公司可適時以當時市場價格通過二級市場購回自身發行的股票,亦可通過私人磋商交易、大宗交易及/或其他法律上允許的方式進行交易,同時公司亦可訂立一項或多項交易計劃。公司將使用現有現金及現金等價物或未來現金流作為回購所需資金。而回購交易的實際時間和金額將由公司根據實際市場狀況而考慮決定,並取決於多項因素,包括公司的資本狀況、流動性、財務狀況和資本用途、股票交易價格、監管要求和其他資本市場狀況。該授權回購沒有實際約束性,並不要求公司收購任何特定數量的股份或證券,並可隨時修改、暫停或終止此回購計劃。

MSCI為全球股票指數的領先提供商,被公認為全球機構投資者優化投資組合(尤其是被動指數基金)的基準。MSCI涵蓋經營業績良好的公司,並根據其市值、自由流通比例及流動性、全球投資者可購買量及最少交易日數等客觀因素評估公司。

Prenetics行政總裁兼聯合創始人楊聖武先生表示:「今天所宣布的股份回購計劃,彰顯公司致力為股東創造長期價值。我們認為,不但全球市場受到波動,公司股票亦隨著禁售期屆滿而出現波動,現時交易價格低於2.07億美元的淨賬面價值,絕對是公司的良機為股東創造理想投資回報。

公司業務基礎維持強勁,資產負債表亦十分健康,其流動資產淨值為 2.5 億美元,並有望經上調 2022 財政年度預測後,實現收入至2.7億美元至2.8億美元範圍內,以及經調整稅息折舊及攤銷前利潤至4,700萬美元至5,300萬美元之間。我們將透過自身業務增長、併購和其他形式的認可資本配置等途徑,採取循序漸進和靈活的資本配置策略。

此外,Prenetics獲納入MSCI全球微型股指數(香港)為一個重要的里程碑,反映不同持分者對公司長期發展策略的信心。這是Prenetics首個被納入的指數,我們期望未來短期內能被納入更多被市場認可的指數中。」
