RNS Number : 4068B HSBC Holdings PLC 01 June 2023
HSBC HOLDINGS PLC
1 June 2023
Transaction in own shares
HSBC Holdings plc ("HSBC" or the "Company") announces that it has purchased
for cancellation the following number of its ordinary shares of US$0.50 from
Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc ("Morgan Stanley") as part of its
buy-back announced on 9 May 2023.
UK Venues
Date of purchase: 1 June 2023
Number of ordinary shares of US$0.50 each purchased: 2,479,284
Highest price paid per share: £5.9550
Lowest price paid per share: £5.8810
Volume weighted average price paid per share: £5.9239
All repurchases on the London Stock Exchange, Aquis Exchange, Cboe Europe
Limited (through the BXE and CXE order books) and/or Turquoise ("UK Venues")
are implemented as "on Exchange" transactions (as such term is defined in the
rules of the London Stock Exchange) and as "market purchases" for the purposes
of the Companies Act 2006.
Hong Kong Stock Exchange
Date of purchase: 1 June 2023
Number of ordinary shares of US$0.50 each purchased: 2,500,000
Highest price paid per share: HK$57.6000
Lowest price paid per share: HK$57.1000
Volume weighted average price paid per share: HK$57.3229
All repurchases on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("Hong Kong Stock
Exchange") are "off market" for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006 but are
transactions which occur "on Exchange" for the purposes of the Rules Governing
the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and which
constitute an "on-market share buy-back" for the purposes of the Codes on
Takeovers and Mergers and Share Buy-backs.
On 1 June 2023, 30,000,000 ordinary shares of US$0.50 each which were awaiting
cancellation having been repurchased on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange
previously were cancelled. Following the cancellation of the shares
repurchased on the UK Venues, the Company will have 20,235,447,170 ordinary
shares in issue, including 325,273,407 ordinary shares of US$0.50 each which
are held in treasury. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company will
be 19,910,173,763. Cancellation of the shares repurchased today on the Hong
Kong Stock Exchange takes longer than those repurchased on the UK Venues and a
further announcement of total voting rights will be made once those shares
have been cancelled.
This figure for the total number of voting rights may be used by shareholders
as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they
are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in,
the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules.
In accordance with Article 5(1)(b) of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No
596/2014 (as it forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue of
the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018), a full breakdown of the individual
trades made by Morgan Stanley on behalf of the Company is available via the
