The HSBC Holdings plc (HSBC) SEC filings page provides access to the company’s regulatory disclosures as a foreign private issuer. HSBC files annual reports on Form 20‑F and frequent current reports on Form 6‑K, which together give investors detailed information about its global banking and financial services operations, capital structure, governance, and risk profile.
Form 6‑K filings for HSBC include a variety of disclosures, such as dividend announcements, voting rights and capital updates, board and senior management changes, and information on regulatory matters like Bank of England bank capital stress test results. Other 6‑K submissions cover employee share and incentive plans, including block listing six‑monthly returns and grants of conditional awards under the HSBC International Employee Share Purchase Plan and other share plans.
Filings also document transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities (PDMRs), where HSBC reports acquisitions of ordinary shares through dividend reinvestment or other mechanisms, in line with market abuse regulations.

HSBC continued its 31 Jul 2025 share-buyback programme. On 5 Aug 2025 the bank repurchased 4,239,468 ordinary shares (2,525,068 via UK venues at a VWAP of £9.2726 and 1,714,400 on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at a VWAP of HK$96.2890). All UK trades were executed as on-market “market purchases”; Hong Kong trades are classed as on-market buy-backs under local rules.
Cumulative progress: since launch, 12,759,242 shares have been bought for c.US$155.9 m. Following cancellation of the UK-venue shares, issued share capital falls to 17,394,849,745 voting shares; none are held in treasury. Cancellation of the Hong Kong tranche is pending, after which a further total-voting-rights notice will be released.
Investor relevance: While the amount retired to date equals only ~0.07% of outstanding shares, ongoing repurchases signal surplus capital deployment and should provide modest EPS accretion and capital return to shareholders.
HSBC Holdings plc continued the buy-back it announced on 31 July 2025 by purchasing on 1 August 2025 a total of 4,919,774 ordinary shares for cancellation. Purchases were split between UK venues (2,494,974 shares, VWAP £9.1864, high £9.2800, low £9.0880) and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (2,424,800 shares, VWAP HK$95.5792, high HK$95.95, low HK$95.05). Aggregate consideration for the programme to date is approximately US$59.7 million.
HSBC also cancelled 18,336,400 shares previously awaiting cancellation. Following today’s repurchases and cancellations, issued ordinary share capital falls to 17,399,874,813 voting shares, with no shares held in treasury. Additional voting-rights disclosure will follow once Hong Kong–venue shares are cancelled.
The action modestly reduces the share count (≈0.15%) and underscores management’s intent to return excess capital to shareholders while maintaining regulatory compliance across both UK and Hong Kong markets.
HSBC Holdings plc has filed a Form 6-K to report its monthly Voting Rights and Capital position under UK FCA DTR 5.6.1.
On 30 July 2025 the bank had 17,420,706,187 ordinary shares of US$0.50 each in issue and no shares in treasury. Therefore, total voting rights equal 17,420,706,187. Investors should use this figure as the denominator when assessing disclosure thresholds required by UK Disclosure Guidance & Transparency Rules and Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Ordinance.
