Fanhua has expanded its share repurchase program by $20 million, bringing the total authorized amount to $40 million.
The Chinese financial-services provider said Friday that under the program, 726,616 shares had been purchased as of June 30 for roughly $5.4 million, and that several senior executives, including Chief Executive Yinan Hu, plan to purchase up to $5 million over the next 12 months.
The buyback program is intended to enhance shareholder returns and signal confidence in long-term growth, the company said.
