Timeline and Process

Each tender offer is set to expire today at 5:00 PM New York City time. Notes can be tendered up to this deadline, with the settlement date occurring on August 17, 2026, unless revised by HSBC. Investors are encouraged to assess their holdings promptly and make decisions regarding participation in the tender offers.

It's crucial to read the official Offer to Purchase documentation detailing the terms and several essential conditions. These conditions might include minimum purchase parameters, acceptance priority levels, and potential proration if the total note purchase exceeds the maximum tender amount.

HSBC remains optimistic about financing the offers through the proceeds of a recent issuance; however, it retains the right to adjust any parameters or timelines related to the tender offers at its discretion. Investors interested in the tender offer or requiring assistance have multiple avenues for support through HSBC’s customer service lines or its designated information agents.

The notes accepted through these offers will be canceled, extinguishing any obligations previously held by HSBC. Investors considering participation should quickly evaluate their options based on the provided timelines and market conditions. As always, regulatory bodies oversee these financial practices to ensure compliance and transparency in the offerings.

In summary, HSBC's undertaking to repurchase these notes represents a strategic maneuver aimed at securing its position within the financial market while demonstrating its proactive approach in managing obligations amid current economic circumstances.
