HSBC Holdings ( (GB:HSBA) ) has provided an announcement.
HSBC’s Asia-Pacific arm, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, has completed the court-sanctioned privatisation of Hang Seng Bank Limited via a scheme of arrangement under Hong Kong’s Companies Ordinance. All conditions of the scheme have been satisfied, making the transaction effective on 26 January 2026, with Hang Seng Bank’s shares to be withdrawn from trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at 4:00 p.m. on 27 January 2026 and cash consideration to be paid to registered scheme shareholders no later than seven business days after the effective date. The move will take Hang Seng Bank private and consolidate HSBC’s ownership and control of the Hong Kong lender, simplifying the group’s structure in its key Asia franchise and removing Hang Seng from public markets, with scheme consideration being distributed by cheque and electronic transfer to entitled shareholders.
