This announcement is made in accordance with DTR 3.1.2 R and 3.1.4 R(1)(a).
On 14 December, awards (the "Awards") of US$0.50 ordinary shares (the "Shares") in HSBC Holdings plc (the "Company") were granted under the HSBC fixed pay allowance arrangements. Awards comprise part of the relevant employees' fixed remuneration for 2015. The awards were made in London and are based upon the closing Share price on the London Stock Exchange on 11 December of £4.9800.
Individual tax liabilities in respect of the vesting of the Awards were satisfied in cash. The number of Shares received by the Directors and other PDMRs named below is therefore net of tax.
The Awards vest in full on the date of grant. 20 per cent of the Shares issued on the vesting of each Award are subject to retention until March 2016, with the remaining 80 per cent subject to retention until March 2021.
