Notification of Transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs")

 

The following transactions in ordinary shares of US$0.50 each ("Shares") in HSBC Holdings plc (the "Company") took place on 1 March 2021:

 

1.    Long Term Incentive Awards

Long term incentive awards ("LTI awards") were made to the Executive Directors named below, as part of variable pay for the performance year ended 31 December 2020. An LTI award is an award of Shares in the Company, with a three-year forward-looking performance period commencing on 1 January 2021 and ending on 31 December 2023.

 

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 2020. Subject to that assessment, the shares will vest in five equal annual instalments commencing from March 2024. Upon each vesting, a one-year retention period applies.

 

The LTI awards were made in London and are based upon the closing Share price on the London Stock Exchange on 26 February 2021 of £4.2620.
