Natural Food International to buy back shares for employee award scheme

Natural Food International Holding Limited (the company) has approved an Award Share Purchase Plan to acquire up to 20m of its existing shares from the open market. This initiative will provide shares for the company's Share Award Scheme, adopted on 28 March 2022, which grants equity incentives to eligible participants, including employees, advisors, consultants, and other contributors to the Group's development.

The company's board of directors believes the current market price does not fully reflect its underlying value and future prospects. The Award Share Purchase Plan will be entirely financed through internal financial resources and is not expected to adversely affect the company's financial position or its ability to meet operational and capital requirements. Furthermore, the company confirms the plan will not cause its public float to fall below the minimum 25% requirement under Listing Rules.

This voluntary announcement, dated 21 November 2025, highlights the board’s confidence in the company’s business outlook and its commitment to talent retention and motivation by aligning employee and shareholder interests. Shareholders and potential investors are cautioned that the plan's implementation is at the board's discretion, subject to market conditions and regulatory requirements, with no assurance regarding timing, quantity, or price of future share purchases.
