In connection with the issue of the Bonds, HSBC Bank plc or any person acting
for it may over-allot or effect transactions with a view to supporting the
market price of the Bonds at a level higher than that which might otherwise
prevail for a limited period. However, there may be no obligations on HSBC Bank
plc or any agent of its to do this. Such stabilising, if commenced, may be
discontinued at any time and must be brought to an end after a limited period.
