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 1 August 2024.

4,687,500

All repurchases on the London Stock 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:
23 September 2024
Number of ordinary shares of US$0.50 each purchased:
3,622,800 
Highest price paid per share:
HK$69.4000 
Lowest price paid per share:
HK$68.8000 
Volume weighted average price paid per share:
HK$69.1366
 
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 1 August 2024, the Company has repurchased 216,424,896 ordinary shares for a total consideration of approximately US$1,846.3m.
 
Following the cancellation of the shares repurchased on the UK Venues, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will consist of 18,293,505,920 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 18,293,505,920 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 Merrill Lynch on behalf of the Company is available via the link below.
