The transaction value is reported as S$2.7 billion, equivalent to US$2.08 billion, representing a slight adjustment from the initial figure of US$2.09 billion. This disposal is expected to yield a pre-tax gain of US$1.8 billion and enhance HSBC's common equity tier 1 ratio by up to 15 basis points. Additionally, the deal includes a 15-year exclusive bancassurance agreement and is projected to be completed in the first half of 2027.
