   Awards                          vesting occurs over a three year period

                                   anniversaries of grant and 34% on the third 
                                   anniversary. 
                                   Group and local Material Risk Takers may 
                                   be subject to longer vesting periods of 
                                   up to seven years, as required under the 
                                   relevant remuneration regulations. Awards 
                                   may be subject to a six- or 12-month retention 
                                   period following vesting. 
                                   Immediately vested share awards may be subject 
                                   to a six- or 12-month retention period following 
                                   vesting. 
                                   The vesting period for buy-out awards for 
                                   new hires generally mirror those of the 
                                   forfeited awards from the previous employer. 
                                   Where the forfeited award was subject to 
                                   a post vesting retention period, a retention 
                                   period will be applied to the buy-out award. 
                                 --------------------------------------------------- 
  Performance Targets and         No performance targets apply to any Plan 
   Clawback                        Awards on the basis that the Awards are 
                                   a form of deferred bonus to meet regulatory 
                                   requirements in the UK. Performance targets 
                                   instead attach to the initial award of the 
                                   Variable Pay. 
                                   Buy-out awards are subject to clawback where 
                                   the forfeited award of the relevant employee's 
                                   former employer was subject to clawback. 
                                   Where the employee's forfeited award was 
                                   not subject to clawback, no clawback terms 
                                   are applied to the replacement HSBC award. 
                                   Clawback applies to all other Plan Awards 
                                   in line with the Company's regulatory obligations 
                                   as set out in the Company's internal clawback 
                                   policy.
