Scholar Education Group ( (HK:1769) ) has provided an announcement.

Scholar Education Group has continued to execute its share award scheme, under which a trustee purchases and holds company shares on behalf of selected participants. The strategy is part of the company’s broader approach to using equity-based incentives to align staff interests with long-term corporate performance.

In its latest move, the trustee bought 275,000 shares on the market on 15 April 2026, representing about 0.041% of issued share capital, at an average price of roughly HK$1.57 per share for a total of about HK$433,000. The board says the current share price significantly undervalues the company, signaling confidence in its business outlook and indicating it may continue to instruct further purchases under the scheme as market conditions warrant.

Following the transaction, the trustee now holds 8,175,000 shares, or about 1.21% of the company’s issued share capital, earmarked for future awards to selected participants subject to vesting conditions. The board retains full discretion over the size and terms of these awards, which could affect incentive structures and share dilution for existing shareholders over time.
