HSBC Holdings plc (HSBC) filed a Next Day Disclosure Return with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 9 September 2026, detailing recent activity under its ongoing share-repurchase mandate approved on 8 May 2026.

Issued share capital unchanged • Opening and closing balances on 7–8 September 2026 remained at 17.16 billion ordinary shares (US$0.50 par value). • No treasury shares were held at either date; all repurchased shares are earmarked for cancellation and therefore have not yet reduced the issued share count.

3.41 million shares bought back for cancellation • Between 27 August and 8 September 2026, HSBC repurchased 3.41 million shares, equal to approximately 0.02 % of the current issued share capital. • Purchases were split across the UK and Hong Kong markets: – United Kingdom: 30,000 shares acquired on 4, 7 and 8 September at a volume-weighted average price of roughly GBP 15.71, with aggregate consideration of GBP 0.16 million. – Hong Kong: 3.38 million shares repurchased over nine trading sessions from 27 August to 8 September at an average price near HKD 163.06, representing total consideration of about HKD 552.0 million. The single-day high activity on 8 September saw 499,200 shares bought at HKD 164.80–166.90 for HKD 82.80 million.

Progress under 2026–27 mandate • Cumulative purchases since the 8 May 2026 AGM now stand at 26.91 million shares, equivalent to 0.16 % of the share base at the mandate date. • The current authority permits repurchases of up to 1.72 billion shares before the 2027 AGM (or 30 June 2027, whichever is earlier). • A 30-day moratorium on issuing new shares or transferring treasury shares remains effective until 8 October 2026, in line with Main Board Rule 10.06(3).

All repurchases complied with Hong Kong and relevant overseas exchange rules, and no material changes have been made to the explanatory statement dated 27 March 2026.
