The Pillar 3 disclosures comprise information on the underlying drivers of risk-weighted assets (RWA), capital, leverage and liquidity ratios as at 30 September 2025 in accordance with the United Kingdom's (UK) onshored Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) and the Prudential Regulation Authority's (PRA) Rulebook.
The disclosures have been prepared in line with the disclosure templates introduced by the PRA Policy Statement PS22/21 'Implementation of Basel standards: Final rules published in October 2021.
This report presents the quarterly Pillar 3 disclosures of Standard Chartered PLC ('the Group') as at 30 September 2025 and should be read in conjunction with the Group's Q3 2025 Results Statement: Balance sheet, capital and leverage.
The information presented in this Pillar 3 report is not required to be, and has not been, subjected to external audit.
In accordance with Group policy the Pillar 3 Disclosures are made quarterly as at 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December in line with the PRA guidelines on materiality, proprietary and confidentiality and on disclosure frequency under Articles 432(1), 432(2) and 433 of the UK onshored CRR, and the Guidelines on disclosure requirements under Part Eight of the CRR. Disclosures are published on the Standard Chartered PLC website aligning with the publication date of the Group's Interim, Half Year and Annual Report and Accounts.
Whilst the 30 September 2025 Pillar 3 Disclosures are not required to be externally audited, the document has been verified internally in accordance with the Group's policies on disclosure and its financial reporting and governance processes. Controls comparable to those for the Group's Q3 2025 Results Statement have been applied to confirm compliance with PRA regulations.

The Group's CET1 ratio of 14.2 per cent was 18 basis points lower compared to 30 June 2025 primarily reflecting underlying profit accretion, lower RWA and impact of share buyback. CET1 remains 3.9 percentage points above the Group's latest regulatory minimum CET1 requirement. The Group's Pillar 2A reduced in the third quarter post a supervisory review resulting in a 22 basis points reduction in the Group's CET1 requirement.
CET1 accretion from profits was 50 basis points while lower RWA added 3 basis points to the ratio. Changes in FX, fair value gains in other comprehensive income and certain regulatory capital adjustments increased CET1 by a further 9 basis points.
The Group is part way through the \$1.3 billion share buyback programme which it announced on 31 July 2025, and by 30 September 2025 had spent \$413 million purchasing 22 million ordinary shares, reducing the share count by approximately 1 per cent. Even though the share buyback was still ongoing on 30 September 2025, the entire \$1.3 billion is deducted from CET1 in the period, equivalent to a 50 basis point reduction in the CET1 ratio.
The UK's minimum leverage ratio requirement is maintained at 3.25 per cent and must be met by at least 75 per cent of CET1. Additional buffers based on the countercyclical and global systemically important bank (G-SIB) buffers are set at 35 per cent of their risk-weighted equivalent and must be met with 100 per cent of CET1. The exposure value of derivative contracts will be based on the standardised approach to counterparty credit risk, whilst central bank reserves continue to be excluded from the leverage ratio exposure measure.
Table 4 below presents both the Group's leverage ratios.

1 The regulatory capital requirement is calculated as 8 per cent of the risk-weighted assets, and represents the minimum total capital ratio in accordance with CRR Article 92(1)
Total risk-weighted assets of \$258.4 billion dropped by \$1.3 billion or 1 per cent from 30 June 2025.
Further details on RWA movements by risk type, and for credit risk IRB (excluding counterparty credit risk) and market risk IMA exposures can be found in tables 9, 10, 11 and 12 respectively.
2 Credit risk (excluding counterparty credit risk) includes non-credit obligation assets
3 Counterparty credit risk includes assets which are assessed under IRB and Standardised approaches
4 To calculate operational risk standardised risk-weighted assets, a regulatory defined beta co-efficient is applied to average gross income for the previous three years, across each of the eight business lines prescribed in the CRR

The information included in this document may contain 'forward-looking statements' based upon current expectations or beliefs as well as statements formulated with assumptions about future events. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, projections, estimates, commitments, plans, approaches, ambitions and targets (including, without limitation, ESG commitments, ambitions and targets). Forward-looking statements often use words such as 'may', 'could', 'will', 'expect', 'intend', 'estimate', 'anticipate', 'believe', 'plan', 'seek', 'aim', 'continue' or other words of similar meaning to any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements may also (or additionally) be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results, and the Group's plans and objectives, to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Readers should not place reliance on, and are cautioned about relying on, any forward-looking statements.
There are several factors which could cause the Group's actual results and its plans and objectives to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. The factors include (but are not limited to): changes in global, political, economic, business, competitive and market forces or conditions, or in future exchange and interest rates; changes in environmental, geopolitical, social or physical risks; legal, regulatory and policy developments, including regulatory measures addressing climate change and broader sustainabilityrelated issues; the development of standards and interpretations, including evolving requirements and practices in ESG reporting; the ability of the Group, together with governments and other stakeholders to measure, manage, and mitigate the impacts of climate change and broader sustainability-related issues effectively; risks arising out of health crises and pandemics; risks of cyber-attacks, data, information or security breaches or technology failures involving the Group; changes in tax rates or policy; future business combinations or dispositions; and other factors specific to the Group, including those identified in Standard Chartered PLC's Annual Report and the financial statements of the Group. To the extent that any forward-looking statements contained in this document are based on past or current trends and/or activities of the Group, they should not be taken as a representation that such trends or activities will continue in the future.
No statement in this document is intended to be, nor should be interpreted as, a profit forecast or to imply that the earnings of the Group for the current year or future years will necessarily match or exceed the historical or published earnings of the Group. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date that it is made. Except as required by any applicable laws or regulations, the Group expressly disclaims any obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement contained within this document, regardless of whether those statements are affected as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Please refer to Standard Chartered PLC's Annual Report and the financial statements of the Group for a discussion of certain of the risks and factors that could adversely impact the Group's actual results, and cause its plans and objectives, to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements.
