What is the last day I can sell Hang Seng Bank shares?

The final trading day is Jan 14. After that date, shares will not trade on the exchange. Subject to court sanction on Jan 23, the shares will be delisted on Jan 27 and canceled for cash at HK$155 per share. Plan any trades before the Jan 14 cutoff.

How much will I receive and when will it be paid?

Scheme shareholders are set to receive HK$155 per share. If the court sanctions the deal on Jan 23 and completion proceeds as scheduled, payment is expected by around Feb 4. Cash will be credited through your broker or registrar, depending on how your shares are held.

Is there still an arbitrage opportunity before completion?

With the stock near HK$154 and the offer at HK$155, the spread is roughly 0.6%. That reflects timing and completion risk. Liquidity may drop after Jan 14. Small spreads can vanish quickly, so use limit orders and consider fees, financing costs, and potential timetable changes.

What happens to Hang Seng’s business after delisting?

Operations continue within HSBC. Management indicates the brand and independent operations will remain. Customers should not see changes to accounts or services. For investors, the listing ends and shares are canceled for cash under the scheme. Future exposure can be via HSBC’s listed shares.
