The sale followed a strategic review of HSBC Canada which concluded the best course of action strategically for the HSBC Group and HSBC Canada was to sell the business. The transaction unlocks significant value for the HSBC Group.
And later;
Subject to finalisation of its results for the first quarter of 2024 ('1Q24') and consideration and approval by the Board, HSBC intends to announce a special dividend of US$0.21 per share together with its 1Q24 earnings release expected to be published on 30 April 2024.
