The latest announcement is out from Hang Seng Bank ( (HK:0011) ).

Hang Seng Bank’s minority shareholders have approved a privatisation proposal by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited via a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement, which will see Hang Seng Bank become wholly owned within the HSBC Group. At meetings held on 8 January 2026, shareholders sanctioned the scheme and related capital reduction and restoration, paving the way for the bank’s shares to be delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, with trading expected to cease at 4:00 p.m. on 27 January 2026, subject to the scheme becoming effective. The bank’s register of members will be closed from 20 January 2026 to determine entitlement to the scheme consideration, signalling a major restructuring of Hang Seng’s ownership and removing a prominent Hong Kong banking stock from public markets.
