Notification of Transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (“PDMRs”)
 
 
On 27 February 2017, the following awards of US$0.50 ordinary shares (the “Shares”) in HSBC Holdings plc (the “Company”) were granted under the HSBC Share Plan 2011. The Awards were made in London and are based upon the closing Share price on the London Stock Exchange on 24 February 2017 of £6.5030.
Long Term Incentive Awards
Long term incentive awards (“LTI awards”) were made to the Executive Directors as part of variable pay for the performance year ended 31 December 2016. The LTI award is an award of Shares with a three-year performance period commencing on 1 January 2017 and ending on 31 December 2019. At the end of this performance period, the number of Shares that will vest will be determined based on an assessment of performance against financial and non-financial measures, as detailed in the Directors’ Remuneration Report in the 2016 Annual Report and Accounts. Subject to that assessment, the shares will vest in five equal annual instalments, with the first vesting taking place in March immediately following the end of the performance period and the remainder in equal annual instalments thereafter. Upon vesting, a six-month retention period applies.
