LONDON AND HONG KONG, Nov 30, 2022 - (亚太商讯) -  全球领先的基因及诊断检测公司Prenetics Global Limited (纳斯达克:PRE)(「Prenetics」或「公司」)今日宣布,公司董事会已授权一项股份回购计划。同时,公司亦获纳入成为MSCI全球微型股指数(香港)的成份股,并将于今日美国股市盘后正式生效。


董事会批准股份回购计划

公司董事会已授权一项股份回购计划,据此,公司可于24个月内回购总值最多2,000万美元的公司A类普通股(「回购计划」)。

根据上述回购计划,公司可适时以当时市场价格通过二级市场购回自身发行的股票,亦可通过私人磋商交易、大宗交易及/或其他法律上允许的方式进行交易,同时公司亦可订立一项或多项交易计划。公司将使用现有现金及现金等价物或未来现金流作为回购所需资金。而回购交易的实际时间和金额将由公司根据实际市场状况而考虑决定,并取决于多项因素,包括公司的资本状况、流动性、财务状况和资本用途、股票交易价格、监管要求和其他资本市场状况。该授权回购没有实际约束性,并不要求公司收购任何特定数量的股份或证券,并可随时修改、暂停或终止此回购计划。

MSCI为全球股票指数的领先提供商,被公认为全球机构投资者优化投资组合(尤其是被动指数基金)的基准。MSCI涵盖经营业绩良好的公司,并根据其市值、自由流通比例及流动性、全球投资者可购买量及最少交易日数等客观因素评估公司。

Prenetics行政总裁兼联合创始人杨圣武先生表示:「今天所宣布的股份回购计划,彰显公司致力为股东创造长期价值。我们认为,不但全球市场受到波动,公司股票亦随着禁售期届满而出现波动,现时交易价格低于2.07亿美元的净账面价值,绝对是公司的良机为股东创造理想投资回报。

公司业务基础维持强劲,资产负债表亦十分健康,其流动资产净值为 2.5 亿美元,并有望经上调 2022 财政年度预测后,实现收入至2.7亿美元至2.8亿美元范围内,以及经调整税息折旧及摊销前利润至4,700万美元至5,300万美元之间。我们将透过自身业务增长、并购和其他形式的认可资本配置等途径,采取循序渐进和灵活的资本配置策略。

此外,Prenetics获纳入MSCI全球微型股指数(香港)为一个重要的里程碑,反映不同持分者对公司长期发展策略的信心。这是Prenetics首个被纳入的指数,我们期望未来短期内能被纳入更多被市场认可的指数中。」
