Yum China Holdings, Inc. disclosed a net reduction of 1.31 million ordinary shares in its August 2026 Monthly Return, bringing total shares in issue (excluding treasury shares) to 341.84 million from 343.15 million at end-July—a 0.38% month-on-month decline.

The company’s authorised capital remained unchanged at 1.00 billion ordinary shares and 100.00 million preference shares, each with a par value of USD 0.01, leaving total authorised capital steady at USD 11.00 million.

Share count dynamics during August were driven by two opposing forces: • Buybacks and Cancellations: 1.33 million shares were repurchased and cancelled outright, while a further 1.02 million shares were repurchased for future cancellation but had not yet been formally cancelled by month-end. • Share Award Issuances: 25,018 new ordinary shares were allotted under the company’s share award scheme, which still has capacity to issue or transfer up to 3.01 million shares.

There were no movements related to share options, warrants or convertible instruments during the period.

Yum China confirmed that it continued to meet the Hong Kong Exchange’s minimum 25% public-float requirement as of 31 August 2026.
