Corporate actions (CA) are events initiated by a listed company that affects the rights attaching to the company's issued shares.

Some events are simple, mandatory and no action is required from shareholders (e.g. cash dividend) while others are more complex, optional and a response from shareholders is required (e.g. rights issue, privatisation).

Purpose of a corporate action can be:

• Distribute income (e.g. cash or stock dividend, bonus issue)
• Raise capital (e.g. rights issue, open offer)
• Restructure issued capital (e.g. share subdivision/consolidation, warrant exercise)
• Reorganise the company (e.g. spin-off, takeover and privatisation)

Normally, prices will be adjusted on all the types of corporate action on the ex-date. The prices fluctuation situations mostly happen on the CA announcement date or know latest news date, which is reflected the market expectation changes. For example, major shareholder may offer premium price to purchase existing shareholding of privatization which will affect market price to increase. Vice versa, company announced rights issue at discounted price for existing shareholders for subscription to raise monies which may be affect market price to drop.

For Company Announcement:

Under HKEX website > Market Data > Stock Quote Lookup > could be search by specific stock code or see the latest company announcement.

For the Entitlement Corporate Action only:

Under HKEX website > Market Data > Stock Quote Lookup > could be see maximum the past 5 years entitlement records under the lower portion.

Under T+2 settlement system, stocks will trade ex-entitlement on the business day immediately before the last registration date. The date is so called "ex-date". 

The ex-date is the date on or after which the stock will be traded without the specific entitlement (e.g. dividend).

Ex-date is an important reference date to investors and all market players. Stock exchange, clearing house, stockbrokers, information vendors and custodian banks all have ex-dates maintained in their market systems. Any error of ex-dates will affect orderly trading of the stock.

When modifying the quantity of a Partial Executed Limit Order, it is the Total Quantity that you are modifying, which includes the quantity that have already been executed.

Example:

If you placed a QTY 10,000 order and QTY 2,000 is partially executed with QTY 8,000 outstanding, and for some reason, you changed your mind and only want to further purchase QTY 3,000. In this case, you would like to modify the Total QTY to 5,000. (Executed QTY 2,000 + Extra QTY 3,000 = Total QTY 5,000)

If you modified the Total QTY to 3,000, only QTY 1,000 will further be executed, because the Total QTY 3,000 also includes the QTY 2,000 which has already been executed. (Total QTY 3,000 - Executed QTY 2,000 = Extra QTY 1,000)

Stop Limit Order, Market Order, and Stop Order cannot be modified. Users have to cancel and place the order again if any amendment.

   If a customer borrowed and short sold 4000 shares HSBC @ $80, then the customer would need to deposit an initial margin of $80,000 ($80 x 4000 x 25%). The total account cash balance would be $400,000 and the maintenance margin required is $368,000 ($80 x 4000 x 115%). If the stock price of HSBC rises to $92.1, then the customer will receive a margin call as the balance falls below the maintenance margin ($400,000 / $92.1 x 4000) < 115%.

2. Non-Blue Chip Stock

   For non-Blue Chip Stock, the maintenance margin is 125%.
