Hang Seng Bank Shareholders will receive the 2025 Third Interim Dividend which will not be deducted from the Scheme Consideration. All other dividends declared by Hang Seng Bank after today (9th) with a record date before the Scheme Effective Date will be deducted from the Scheme Consideration.

Hang Seng Bank has been rooted in Hong Kong for close to 100 years and has a distinctive legacy. HSBC intends to continue to respect the legacy of Hang Seng Bank and to serve Hong Kong through both the HSBC and Hang Seng Bank brands. As such, Hang Seng Bank will retain its separate authorization as a licensed bank under the Hong Kong Banking Ordinance with its own governance, brand, distinct customer proposition and a branch network.

HSBC expects to restore its CET1 ratio to its target operating range of 14%-14.5% through a combination of organic capital generation and not initiating any further buybacks for three quarters following the date of this announcement. A decision to recommence buybacks will be subject to HSBC’s normal buyback considerations and
process on a quarterly basis.
