YIDU TECH(02158) subsidiary enters into total return swap transaction with the counterparty

YIDU TECH (02158) announced that on October 23, 2025, its subsidiary entered into a total return swap transaction with a counterparty. The notional amount of the total return swap transaction is approximately HK$54,407,000 (converted from US dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the announcement). The company entered into the total return swap transaction to hedge against the risk of future stock price appreciation. The cost and cash outflows incurred by the company from time to time to purchase shares may increase the risk of stock price appreciation for the company. The board of directors believes that entering into the total return swap transaction under the terms may help hedge against the risk of price increases in future purchases of shares under the company's stock incentive plan following the initial public offering.
