Investors and media have been directed to contact HSBC’s investor relations and press office for further inquiries.

This issuance comes with the usual legal disclaimers, noting that the offering was made solely by means of the prospectus documents filed with the SEC. The distribution of the announcement and the offering of the notes are subject to legal restrictions in certain jurisdictions, and HSBC has advised that no actions have been taken to permit a public offering of the notes where such actions are required, other than in the US.
