HONG KONG, Nov. 3, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Futu Holdings Limited (“Futu” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: FUTU), a tech-driven online brokerage and wealth management platform focusing on global investors, today announced that its board of directors has approved a share repurchase program to repurchase up to US$300 million worth of its own American depositary shares (“ADSs”), representing its Class A ordinary shares, until December 31, 2022.
Under the share repurchase program, Futu may purchase its ADSs through various means, including open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, any combination thereof or other legally permissible means. The Company may effect repurchase transactions in compliance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Futu’s board of directors will review the share repurchase program periodically, and may modify, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time. The Company plans to fund repurchases from its existing cash balance.
