Gold bars to be exempt from tariffs, White House clarifies
LONDON - HSBC Holdings (NYSE:HSBC) has notified the market that it may engage in stabilization activities for its upcoming securities offering, according to a pre-stabilization notice issued today. The bank, acting as the Stabilization Coordinator, has outlined that its Fixed rate 11NC6 Tier 2 securities, with an aggregate nominal amount labeled as ’EUR Benchmark,’ may be subject to such measures starting today, May 12, 2025.
The stabilization period, managed by HSBC Bank plc as the Stabilizing Manager, is expected to commence on the same day as the announcement and is anticipated to conclude by June 12, 2025. During this time, the bank may over-allot securities or conduct transactions to support the market price of the securities at a higher level than what might naturally occur.
HSBC has also clarified that an over-allotment facility up to 5% of the aggregate nominal amount of the securities is available, which could be utilized if necessary to aid in the stabilization process. These transactions, if they occur, will be undertaken over the counter (OTC).
The bank has stated that there is no certainty that stabilization activities will be performed and that any such actions may cease at any time. All stabilization measures will be conducted in compliance with applicable laws and rules.
This announcement serves as a notice and is not an invitation or offer to underwrite, subscribe for, or otherwise acquire or dispose of any securities of HSBC Holdings in any jurisdiction. It is also not an offer of securities for sale in the United States, as the securities have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 and cannot be offered or sold in the U.S. absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
The information regarding the potential stabilization actions is based on a press release statement and is intended for those with professional investment experience or who are high net worth individuals in the United Kingdom (TADAWUL:4280), qualified investors in the European Economic Area, or those in other jurisdictions where the offer can be lawfully addressed.
