Notification of Transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs")
On 15 August, 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 12 August of £5.4500.
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 and other PDMRs named below is therefore net of tax.
In relation to Directors, 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. In respect of the other PDMRs, 40 per cent of the Award is subject to retention until March 2017, with the remaining 60 per cent to
