HSBC Holdings plc released its Monthly Return for Equity Issuer for the period ended 30 June 2026, confirming that the Group’s share structure and public-float position remained unchanged during the month.

Issued Share Capital • Ordinary shares in issue (excluding treasury stock) held steady at 17.18 billion. • No treasury shares were held at month-end, mirroring the position at 31 May 2026. • The Group reiterated that it continues to satisfy the Hong Kong Exchange’s 25% minimum public-float requirement.

Share-Based Schemes • Outstanding options under the HSBC Holdings Savings-Related Share Option Plan (UK) declined marginally to 43.73 million, after 256,529 options were exercised and 200,837 lapsed. • All exercises were settled with shares purchased by the Employee Benefit Trust; consequently, no new shares were issued and the total share count was unaffected. • Proceeds from option exercises totalled GBP 1.06 million during June.

Convertible Securities HSBC lists 16 tranches of perpetual subordinated contingent convertible securities (AT1 instruments) across USD, EUR, GBP and SGD. Key data as at 30 June 2026: • Aggregate notional outstanding: equivalent to roughly USD 21.1 billion. • Full conversion could create up to 6.70 billion new ordinary shares, representing approximately 39% of the current share base; however, no conversions occurred during the month. • First call dates on these instruments fall between September 2026 and March 2036.

Other Capital Movements • No warrants, other equity-linked instruments or additional share issuances/redemptions were reported. • The company confirmed all regulatory filings and listing rule obligations have been met.

Implications HSBC’s stable share count, continued compliance with public-float requirements and absence of treasury stock transactions underscore a steady capital structure. While the bank maintains a sizeable layer of AT1 contingent convertibles, no conversion activity was recorded in June 2026, leaving potential dilution unchanged.
