HSBC has increased its tender offer cap to $1.5 billion for outstanding 6.000% perpetual subordinated securities, contingent on the successful closing of a recently priced $1.5 billion 7.625% issuance.
HSBC raised the cap on its cash tender for $3bn 6.000% perpetual subordinated securities from $1.0bn to $1.5bn, funded with cash on hand, while pricing $1.5bn of new 7.625% subordinated securities to manage its Tier 1 capital base. This is routine liability management with no earnings, capital-ratio or guidance change disclosed, so the equity impact over the coming days is negligible.
No earnings figures or guidance changes are disclosed. The announcement describes the transaction as proactive management of the Tier 1 capital base, with the offer financed from cash on hand.
