HSBC has entered into a non-discretionary agreement with BNP Paribas Financial Markets SNC, which will purchase shares as principal between 6 August 2026 and no later than 23 October 2026, subject to regulatory approvals. Purchases may be made on UK trading venues and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and all repurchased shares will be cancelled.

HSBC Holdings plc is launching cash tender offers for up to $5,000,000,000 aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued interest) of four series of senior unsecured notes maturing in 2028, which together have $8,600,000,000 principal outstanding.
The offers cover September 2028 notes ($2.0bn), November 2028 notes ($2.25bn), May 2028 notes ($1.85bn, sub‑cap $750m) and March 2028 notes ($2.5bn, sub‑cap $1.75bn), accepted in order of stated acceptance priority levels and subject to possible proration. Pricing is set using U.S. Treasury reference securities plus fixed spreads, with the offer yield determining cash consideration per $1,000.
The offers are expected to launch on 5 August 2026, expire at 5:00 p.m. New York time on 12 August 2026, and settle on 17 August 2026, all subject to extension or early termination. Completion is conditioned on successful pricing of a proposed new senior unsecured issuance, expected to fund the tenders along with cash on hand. Notes purchased will be cancelled, and the transaction is described as proactively managing the company’s outstanding debt portfolio.
HSBC Holdings plc reports that its 2026 Interim Report for the half-year ended 30 June 2026 has been submitted to the UK National Storage Mechanism and will be available for electronic inspection, as well as through the company’s investor website.
Printed copies of the Interim Report are expected to be mailed on 21 August 2026 to shareholders who have chosen hard-copy delivery. The disclosure is made as regulated information in accordance with DTR 6.3.5R(1A) and is signed on behalf of HSBC by the Group Company Secretary.
HSBC Holdings reported strong 1H26 results, with profit before tax rising to $19.5bn, up $3.7bn or 23% from 1H25, and profit after tax of $15.3bn. Return on average tangible equity reached 18.2% (19.1% excluding notable items). Revenue increased 11% to $37.7bn, driven by higher banking net interest income, strong Wealth and Wholesale Transaction Banking fee growth, and a one-off $0.2bn property gain. Net interest income grew by $1.4bn, with banking NII at $22.9bn, and net interest margin improved to 1.61%.
Credit costs and capital were more mixed. Expected credit losses were $2.4bn, $0.4bn higher than 1H25, including a $0.4bn fraud-related wholesale exposure in the UK, $0.2bn related to Hong Kong commercial real estate and allowances linked to the conflict in the Middle East. Customer lending and accounts grew by $34bn and $41bn respectively versus 31 December 2025. The CET1 ratio declined to 14.1%, down 0.8 percentage points, reflecting the privatisation of Hang Seng Bank, dividends and higher RWAs. The Board approved a second interim dividend of $0.10 per share and plans a share buy-back of up to $1bn, expected to complete by the 3Q26 results announcement.
HSBC Holdings plc reports that the UK Financial Conduct Authority has approved a Base Prospectus Supplement dated 4 August 2026 to its Base Prospectus for the HSBC Holdings plc debt issuance programme, updating the original prospectus dated 30 March 2026 and a prior supplement dated 5 May 2026.

HSBC Holdings plc reports its current share capital and voting rights. As of 30 July 2026, the issued share capital comprised 17,183,563,842 ordinary shares of US$0.50 each. No shares are held in treasury, so the total number of voting rights is also 17,183,563,842.
This total voting-rights figure is intended to be used by shareholders as the denominator when determining whether they must notify their interest in, or changes to their interest in, HSBC under the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and Part XV of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Ordinance.
HSBC Holdings plc plans to sell an Australian home and personal loan portfolio with a book value of approximately AUD36 billion (US$25 billion) as of 31 March 2026. The loans, currently held by HSBC Bank Australia Limited, will be acquired by Virgo BidCo Pty Ltd, a company owned by funds managed by Blackstone affiliates, with Pepper Money Limited acting as post-closing servicer. Cash consideration is based on a base amount of AUD36 billion plus adjustments, and may be partially financed by senior lending from the HSBC Group on arm’s length terms. Completion is targeted for the first half of 2027, subject to Australian regulatory approvals and operational readiness.
The portfolio had outstanding balances of AUD36 billion and AUD33 billion at 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024, respectively. HSBC expects an immaterial pre-tax loss of less than US$0.1 billion on the sale by the first half of 2027, restructuring costs and write-offs of about US$0.3 billion, and recycling of about US$0.3 billion of foreign currency translation reserve losses by 2028, with no incremental CET1 impact. Net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, and HSBC’s remaining Australian retail business will be wound down while corporate, institutional, asset management and private banking activities are consolidated into its Sydney branch.
