StanChart (2888): holders of unsubscribed rights to receive payment
Company announcement, 11-Dec-2015
The shares were placed out at 505p, a premium to the 465p rights issue price, so those in HK who did not take up their rights will get 40p for each rights share, minus expenses, converted to HKD. Unlike HK, the UK Listing Rules require issuers to protect inactive shareholders by doing this. For all other HK rights issues, this never happens, thereby stealing from sleeping holders. When will HK upgrade shareholder protection?

The criteria for what is a "high-risk client" are not disclosed but are agreed between SCB and its monitor. Presumably SCB will carry on offering non-USD clearing services to these clients? The HKMA says it has no "significant supervisory concerns".

Standard Chartered reaches final settlement with US authorities
Company announcement, 11-Dec-2012
So there were total sanctions-busting transactions of $24m Iranian and $109m other-countries entities, out of $139 trillion, or about $1 for every $1m processed. On $133m of payments, the revenue would have been tiny. Even at 1%, this would be $1.33m before costs, but the settlements now amount to $667m plus legal costs. This is not so much a settlement as a shake-down.

This could potentially cripple Standard Chartered's ability to clear US dollar transactions via the USA, but is it just grandstanding by Andrew Cuomo's newly-formed regulator? Why is a US State doing this rather than the US Federal Government?
