                   REPUBLIC NEW YORK CORPORATION
                  ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS


 New York - October 20, 1999:  Republic New York Corporation  today reported net
 income for the third quarter of 1999 of $126.5 million,  or earnings per common
 share of $1.17 basic and $1.15 diluted. For the nine months ended September 30,
 1999,  net income was $316.1  million,  which  included on an after-tax  basis,
 restructuring and one-time special charges of $67.6 million and a gain of $45.4
 million  on a real  estate  investment.  Earnings  per  common  share  for  the
 nine-month period of 1999 were $2.88 basic and $2.84 diluted.

 Dov C.  Schlein,  chairman  and  chief  executive  officer,  said,  "The  third
 quarter's  good results build upon the solid  performance  of the first half of
 1999.  Our core and special niche  businesses  have continued to perform to our
 expectations."

 Highlights of the quarter include:

      Net income was $126.5  million in the third  quarter of 1999, or $1.15 per
      share  diluted,  compared  to a net loss of  $92.7  million  in the  third
      quarter of 1998, or 96 cents per share diluted.

      Net interest  rate  differential  was 2.51 percent in the third quarter of
      1999,  compared  to 2.20  percent  in the third  quarter  of 1998 and 2.60
      percent in the second quarter of 1999.  Net interest  income for the third
      quarter  of 1999 was $260.6  million,  compared  to $256.4  million in the
      third quarter of 1998 and $271.2 million in the second quarter of 1999.

      The board of directors  declared  dividends of 26 cents per common  share,
      30.7534  cents per  depositary  share on the  adjustable  rate  cumulative
      preferred  stock,  45.3125  cents  per  share  on the  $1.8125  cumulative
      preferred  stock and  71.4375  cents per share on the  $2.8575  cumulative
      preferred stock. All dividends are payable January 1, 2000 to stockholders
      of record on December 15, 1999.

      Total revenue  associated with trading  activities in the third quarter of
      1999 rose to $57.0 million, compared to $48.0 million in the third quarter
      of 1998,  an increase of 19 percent.  Such  revenues were $56.5 million in
      the second quarter of 1999.

<PAGE>

      Equity in the earnings of Safra Republic  Holdings S.A.  ("SRH") was $34.4
      million in the third  quarter of 1999,  compared  to $29.9  million in the
      third quarter of 1998 and $41.9 million in the second quarter of 1999.

      The total of the  corporation's  and SRH's private client account  assets,
      both on- and off-balance-sheet,  were $59.8 billion at September 30, 1999,
      compared to $53.0  billion at September 30, 1998 and $59.2 billion at June
      30, 1999.

 On May  10,  the  corporation  entered  into  an  agreement  providing  for the
 acquisition of the  corporation by HSBC Holdings plc ("HSBC") in  consideration
 of its payment of $72 in cash per common share. Consummation of the transaction
 requires,  in addition to various  regulatory  approvals,  the  approval of the
 corporation's  common  stockholders.  As  announced  on October 19,  1999,  the
 special  meeting  of  common  stockholders  called  to  vote  on  the  proposed
 acquisition  will be adjourned  until  November 30, 1999. On September 1, 1999,
 the corporation announced that it had commenced an investigation of the Futures
 Division of its subsidiary Republic New York Securities  Corporation  ("RNYSC")
 as a result of a letter received from the Financial  Supervisory Agency ("FSA")
 of Japan concerning the FSA's investigation of the Tokyo branch of an affiliate
 of Princeton Global  Management Ltd, a client of RNYSC's  Philadelphia  office.
 The corporation is also cooperating  with the relevant U.S.  regulatory and law
 enforcement authorities in their investigation of this matter.

 HSBC has also offered $72 per share for the outstanding  common shares of Safra
 Republic Holdings S.A. ("SRH") owned by shareholders other than the corporation
 and has extended the expiration of the period for SRH  shareholders  to respond
 to the offer until October 29, 1999.

 Net interest income

 The net interest  rate  differential  was 2.51 percent in the third  quarter of
 1999, compared to 2.20 percent in the third quarter of 1998 and 2.60 percent in
 second quarter of 1999. The increase in the net interest rate  differential  in
 the third quarter from the year ago period reflected  reductions of higher cost
 short-term liabilities and a corresponding decline in interest-bearing deposits
 with banks, investment securities,  and federal funds. Average interest-earning
 assets  were $42.3  billion in the third  quarter  of 1999,  compared  to $47.4
 billion in the third quarter of 1998 and $42.7 billion in the second quarter of
 1999.

 Net interest income on a fully taxable  equivalent  basis was $267.3 million in
 the third quarter of 1999,  compared to $262.8  million in the third quarter of
 1998 and $277.3  million in the second  quarter of 1999.  Included in the third
 quarters of 1999 and 1998 was  mortgage  prepayment  income of $6.3 million and
 $6.9 million,  respectively.  Net interest income in the second quarter of 1999
 included $3.0 million of past-due interest received on previously  written down
 Russian obligations and $5.2 million of mortgage prepayment income.

 The net  interest  rate  differential  rose to 2.54  percent for the first nine
 months of 1999, compared to 2.29 percent for the corresponding  period of 1998.
 Net interest income on a fully taxable  equivalent basis was $808.2 million for
 the first nine months of 1999,  compared to $806.1 million in the corresponding
 period of 1998. Average  interest-earning  assets declined to $42.5 billion for
 the first nine  months of 1999,  compared to $47.1  billion for the  respective
 period of 1998.

 The  corporation's  Latin  American  exposure  consists  primarily of sovereign
 securities.  The  mark-to-market  value of these securities is fully reflected,
 after tax benefit, as an adjustment to stockholders' equity through accumulated
 other comprehensive income.

</TABLE>

  *   Net cross-border  outstandings include foreign office local country claims
      on local residents less local country liabilities.

<PAGE>

 ** Net outstandings  exclude $662 million of sovereign risk assets,  before the
 FASB 115 depreciation  adjustment of $6 million, funded with U.S. dollars where
 the  providers of funds agree that,  in the event their claims cannot be repaid
 in the  designated  currency  due to  sovereign  default or  currency  exchange
 restrictions  in a given  country,  they will  wait to  receive  the  non-local
 currency until such time as such default is cured or the currency  restrictions
 removed or such currency becomes  available in the local market;  under limited
 circumstances,  the providers may receive either local currency or local market
 debt instruments.  Also excluded is net exposure of approximately $155 million,
 which represented the corporation's share of SRH's net exposure.

 Other operating income (loss)

 Total  trading  revenue,  including  associated  net  interest  income which is
 reported as net  interest  income,  was $57.0  million in the third  quarter of
 1999,  compared to $48.0 million in the third quarter of 1998 and $56.5 million
 in the  second  quarter of 1999.  The third  quarter  to third  quarter  change
 reflected  increased  precious  metals income and trading  account  profits and
 commissions,  partially offset by a decrease in foreign exchange  trading.  For
 the  nine-month  period of 1999,  such  revenue  amounted  to  $203.5  million,
 compared to $177.6 million for the nine-month period of 1998.

 The items of net interest income (expense) in the following table represent the
 net interest  earned or paid on  instruments  held for  trading,  as well as an
 allocation by management to reflect the funding benefit or cost associated with

 income through  service  charges to clients for deposit  accounts and trust and
 securities  activities.  Other income  included  revenues of $19.2 million from
 these activities in the third quarter of 1999, compared to $15.6 million in the
 third quarter of 1998 and $17.0 million in the second quarter of 1999.

 Other operating expenses

 Total  operating  expenses  were $232.4  million in the third  quarter of 1999,
 $230.4 million in the third quarter of 1998 excluding $13.7 million of one-time
 expenses  discussed  below,  and $251.4  million in the second  quarter of 1999
 excluding  $20.3  million of  merger-related  executive  pension and  incentive
 accruals and certain other merger-related expenses. Included in total operating

 and $124.1  million in the third  quarter of 1998.  Such  expenses  were $141.1
 million in the second  quarter of 1999,  excluding  the charge of $16.5 million
 related to the  implementation of a Supplemental  Executive  Retirement Plan to
 retain the services of certain executive  officers.  The third quarter to third
 quarter  increase was due primarily to higher levels of incentive  compensation
 accruals.

 Occupancy  expense was $19.2 million in the third quarter of 1999,  compared to
 $19.4  million  in the third  quarter  of 1998 and $17.8  million in the second

 of 1999 and 28.7 percent in the second quarter.  The effective tax rate for the
 third  quarter  of 1998 was not  meaningful  due to the loss  reported  for the
 period.
