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. In addition, HSBC uses SEC filings to communicate significant group developments, such as joint announcements related to the proposed privatization of Hang Seng Bank Limited and associated listing withdrawal processes.

HSBC Holdings plc disclosed conditional awards under its HSBC Share Plan 2011 totaling 602,878 ordinary shares granted to employees and former employees. The awards are structured under the Group-wide deferral policy with vesting generally over three years (33% at each of the first two anniversaries and 34% at the third), while certain Group and local Material Risk Takers may face extended vesting up to seven years. Some awards vest immediately but remain subject to a six- or 12-month retention period during which shares cannot be sold. Awards for new hires mirror forfeited awards from prior employers and may be contingent on completion of strategic projects. No performance targets apply to these Plan Awards because they represent deferred bonus delivery to meet UK regulatory requirements; performance conditions apply at the initial Variable Pay stage. The Plan is subject to two overall issuance limits, with large share pools remaining available under both 10% and 5% caps.
