1On 24 June 2025, the High Court of Justice in England and Wales confirmed the cancellation of $14.8bn standing to the credit of the HSBC Holdings’ share
premium account and $1.8bn standing to the credit of its capital redemption reserve, following approval at HSBC Holdings’ Annual General Meeting held on
2 May 2025 (the ‘Capital Reduction’). The Court Order confirming the Capital Reduction was registered by the Registrar of Companies on 10 July 2025, resulting
in a combined total of $16.6bn being reclassified to retained earnings with no impact on total equity.
