Total includes 1,631,751 treasury shares held by the Group for employee equity plans at 30 June 2026 (flagged, not subtracted; excluding them gives 1,671,830,607). Share count was completely unchanged through FY2026: no buy-back activity was undertaken in FY26, and the Dividend Reinvestment Plan for both the 2025 final and 2026 interim dividends was satisfied by on-market purchase of existing shares rather than by new issuance, so no DRP shares were created.

Share counts move on a filing cadence, prices move continuously — so this figure is exact only as of the two dates above, and we publish both rather than a single undated number. This company is quoted here through a depositary receipt (CMWAY), where one receipt represents 1 ordinary share; the price is put on an ordinary-share basis before it meets the share count.
