HSBC Holdings plc (HSBC) reports that on 19 August 2026 it granted conditional share awards under the HSBC Share Plan 2011 to employees and former employees over 286,184 ordinary shares of US$0.50 each. The awards have a purchase price of GBP 0 and reference a closing market price on the London Stock Exchange of GBP 14.972 on the grant date.
Under HSBC’s group-wide deferral policy, most awards vest over three years (33%, 33%, 34%), with possible extensions up to five years for Material Risk Takers and a typical 12‑month retention period after vesting. Certain awards are tied to completion of strategically important projects, and clawback applies in line with HSBC’s regulatory obligations and internal clawback policy. The plan remains well within its share issuance limits, with over 1.11 billion and 357 million shares still available under its 10% and 5% caps, respectively.
