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 Merrill Lynch International ("Merrill Lynch") as part of its buy-back announced on 31 July 2025.
UK Venues
Date of purchase: | 14 August 2025 |
Number of ordinary shares of US$0.50 each purchased: | 2,101,562 |
Highest price paid per share: | £9.5490 |
Lowest price paid per share: | £9.4030 |
Volume weighted average price paid per share: | £9.5052 |
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: | 14 August 2025 |
Number of ordinary shares of US$0.50 each purchased: | 1,617,600 |
Highest price paid per share: | HK$100.9000 |
Lowest price paid per share: | HK$99.8500 |
Volume weighted average price paid per share: | HK$100.1472 |
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.
Since the commencement of the buy-back announced on 31 July 2025, the Company has repurchased 38,877,475 ordinary shares for a total consideration of approximately US$487.0m.
On 14 August 2025, 6,889,200 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 those shares and following the cancellation of shares repurchased on the UK Venues today, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will consist of 17,371,370,997 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 17,371,370,997 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, as amended), a full breakdown of the individual trades made by Merrill Lynch on behalf of the Company is available via the link below.
