Notification of Transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs")

On 12 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 2016. The Awards were made in London and are based upon the closing Share price on the London Stock Exchange on 9 December of £6.7380.

The Awards vest in full on the date of grant. Individual tax liabilities in respect of the vesting of the Awards were satisfied in cash. The number of Shares received by the Directors named below is therefore net of tax.

20 per cent of the Award is subject to retention until March 2017, with the remaining 80 per cent to be released annually thereafter in four equal tranches until 2021.
