All repurchases on the London Stock Exchange, Aquis Exchange, Cboe
Europe Limited (through the BXE and CXE order books) and/or
Turquoise (“UK Venues”) are implemented as “on Exchange” transactions
(as such term is defined in the rules of the London Stock Exchange)
and as “market purchases” for the purposes of the Companies Act
2006.
All repurchases on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited
(“Hong Kong
Stock Exchange”) are “off
market” for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006 but are
transactions which occur “on Exchange” for the purposes of the
Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of
Hong Kong Limited and which constitute an “on-market share
buy-back” for the purposes of the Codes on Takeovers and Mergers
and Share Buy-backs.
In accordance with Article 5(1)(b) of the Market Abuse Regulation
(EU) No 596/2014 (as it forms part of domestic law of the United
Kingdom by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as
amended), a full breakdown of the individual trades made by BNP

*This
represents the Company’s issued ordinary share capital and total
voting rights, following the cancellation of the shares referred to
above which have been repurchased today on the UK Venues. There are
no ordinary shares held in treasury. This total voting rights
figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the
calculations by which they will determine if they are required to
notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the
Company under the Financial Conduct Authority’s Disclosure Guidance
and Transparency Rules.
Cancellation
of the shares repurchased today on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange
takes longer than those repurchased on the UK Venues and a further
announcement of total voting rights will be made once those shares
have been cancelled.
This announcement will also be available on HSBC’s website
at www.hsbc.com/sea
