HSBC Holdings plc (the Company) announces today that it has cancelled the 325,273,407 ordinary shares of US$0.50 (Ordinary Shares) that it held in treasury.

 

Following the cancellation, the Company does not hold any treasury shares. The Company's issued share capital with voting rights is 19,473,203,852 Ordinary Shares. The Company also has in issue one non-cumulative series A sterling preference share with a nominal value of GB£0.01 which does not, in the ordinary course, contain voting rights at general meetings of the Company.

 

Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 19,473,203,852 and this is the figure which may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and/or under Part XV of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Ordinance. Any such notification should be sent to investorrelations@hsbc.com and shareholderquestions@hsbc.com.
