Form Type
6-K

Filing Explained

The August 14 filing adds a supplemental indenture and legal opinions to an existing registration statement, without disclosing a completed offering or issuance.

As a Form 6-K, this report furnishes interim information published by a foreign private issuer. On August 14, 2026, HSBC incorporated the listed exhibits into registration statement file number 333-277306, changing the registration record rather than documenting a completed sale or issuance.

The filing lists a Fortieth Supplemental Indenture dated August 14, 2026, plus opinions from U.S. and English counsel. Because the supplied filing contains only exhibit descriptions, it does not establish that securities were offered, sold, or issued, or that proceeds were received.
