The following transactions in ordinary shares of US$0.50 each ("Shares") in HSBC Holdings plc (the "Company") took place on 24 February 2020:

 

1.    Long Term Incentive Award

A long term incentive award ("LTI award") was made to Ewen Stevenson, as part of variable pay for the performance year ended 31 December 2019. An LTI award is an award of Shares in the Company, with a three year forward-looking performance period commencing on 1 January 2020 and ending on 31 December 2022.

 

At the end of this performance period, the number of Shares that vest will be determined based upon an assessment by the Group Remuneration Committee of performance against financial and non-financial measures, as detailed in the Directors' Remuneration Report in the Annual Report and Accounts 2019. Subject to that assessment, the shares will vest in five equal annual instalments commencing from March 2023. Upon each vesting, a one year retention period applies.

 

The LTI award was made in London and is based upon the closing Share price on the London Stock Exchange on 21 February 2020 of £5.6220.
