HSBC HOLDINGS PLC

25 April 2025

Transaction in own shares and conclusion of buy-back

 

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
Merrill Lynch International ("Merrill Lynch") as part of its buy-back
announced on 20 February 2025.

Hong Kong Stock Exchange

 Date of purchase:                                     25 April 2025
 Number of ordinary shares of US$0.50 each purchased:  432,800
 Highest price paid per share:                         HK$86.1000
 Lowest price paid per share:                          HK$85.0500
 Volume weighted average price paid per share:         HK$85.7613

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.

There were no repurchases on the London Stock Exchange, Cboe Europe Limited
(through the BXE and CXE order books) and/or Turquoise ("UK Venues").

The Company's issued ordinary share capital consists of 17,673,109,992
ordinary shares with voting rights. There are no ordinary shares held in
treasury. Cancellation of the shares repurchased 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.

The above figure of 17,673,109,992 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.

The Company announces that, following the purchase of these shares, the
buy-back has concluded. Since the commencement of the buy-back, the Company
has repurchased for cancellation 90,226,199 ordinary shares on the UK Venues
at a volume weighted average price of £8.6089 per ordinary share, and
89,362,400 ordinary shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at a volume
weighted average price of HK$86.5813 per ordinary share, for a total
consideration of approximately US$2bn.

 

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 Merrill Lynch on behalf of the Company is available via the
