HSBC announces potential market stabilization measures

LONDON - HSBC Holdings plc (NYSE:HSBC) has notified the market of possible stabilization activities related to its upcoming fixed-rate security offering, set to commence today. The bank, acting as the Stabilization Coordinator, has indicated that these measures may be enacted to support the market price of the securities after their release.

The securities in question are a GBP Benchmark aggregate nominal amount with a fixed maturity date of May 22, 2033. The offer price is yet to be confirmed. HSBC Bank plc will serve as the Stabilizing Manager(s) during the stabilization period, which is expected to start today and could extend until no later than June 20, 2025.

In accordance with legal and regulatory provisions, the stabilization efforts may include over-allotment of securities or transactions aimed at maintaining the market price above levels that might naturally occur. However, the bank has not guaranteed that stabilization will occur, and if initiated, it can be halted at any time.

The potential over-allotment facility is capped at 5% of the aggregate nominal amount of the securities. These transactions, if carried out, will be executed over the counter (OTC).

This pre-stabilization notice serves as a preliminary announcement and should not be construed as an invitation or offer to purchase or dispose of any securities. The communication is targeted at qualified investors within the European Economic Area as per the Prospectus Regulation and at professional investors and high net worth individuals in the United Kingdom (TADAWUL:4280) in line with local regulations.

The announcement also clarifies that the securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933. As such, they may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration, and there will be no public offering of the securities in the United States.
