Insights

TL;DR HSBC continued its announced buy-back, repurchasing 38.88M shares to date for ~US$487.0m and cancelling 6.89M shares on 14 August 2025.

The filing confirms active execution across UK and Hong Kong venues with specific on‑exchange transactions reported for 14 August 2025: 2,101,562 shares on UK Venues at a VWAP of £9.5052 and 1,617,600 shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at a VWAP of HK$100.1472. The company states total repurchases of 38,877,475 shares for ~US$487.0m and reports the post‑cancellation issued share count of 17,371,370,997. These are concrete, auditable reductions in share count while the filing discloses that Hong Kong cancellations take longer and that a further voting rights announcement will follow.

TL;DR HSBC followed prescribed on‑exchange market purchase procedures and provided disclosure on cancellations and voting‑rights denominator updates.

The company specifies that UK repurchases were implemented as "on Exchange" market purchases and that Hong Kong transactions are treated as on‑market under Hong Kong listing rules but are "off market" for Companies Act 2006 timing purposes. The filing discloses the aggregate repurchases and the resulting issued share capital figure that shareholders should use as the denominator for Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules notifications. A full breakdown of the individual trades executed by Merrill Lynch is made available via the referenced link, and the filing commits to a further announcement once outstanding Hong Kong cancellations are complete, demonstrating compliance with disclosure and market rules.
