London-based HSBC Holdings said Flint stepped down by mutual agreement. Noel Quinn, the chief executive of global commercial banking, will serve as interim CEO while the bank looks for a permanent replace- ment. Flint, 51, spent almost 30 years at the bank before he became CEO with the promise to “continue to innovate and accelerate the pace of change” needed to meet the demands of shareholders and customers. HSBC shares have fallen almost 14% since Flint took over, compared with a less than 1% drop in the FTSE 100 Index. The bank on Monday reported second quarter profits of $4.4 billion, up 7% compared with the same period last year, but it warned that “geopo- litical issues could impact a significant number of our major markets.” Economic growth is expected to slow in the U.S. and China amid a trade war between the world’s two biggest economies. Asia accounts for 80% of HSBC’s profits. And Britain is preparing to leave the European Union on Oct. 31, raising uncertainty for the London-based business. HSBC confirmed that on top of the leadership reshuffle, it plans to cut 4,000 jobs globally, or around 2% of its total workforce. “With macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds mounting, the HSBC In this June 10, 2019, file photo, a man walks past a money exchange shop decorated with different banknotes board could be looking for more radical reform,” Nicholas Hyett, an ana- at Central, a business district of Hong Kong.

Brady signs 2-year, $70M extension with Pats By ARNIE STAPLETON Associated Press Tom Brady has never known what it’s like to play out the final season of a con- tract in his 20-year NFL career, and the New England Patriots superstar quarter- back isn’t about to find out. Brady, who turned 42 on Saturday, is signing a two-year, $70 million extension that runs through 2021 and includes a hefty raise this season, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press. The person, speaking to the AP on condi- tion of anonymity Sunday because the Patriots hadn’t announced the extension, confirmed the NFL Network’s report on Brady’s contract. Brady will get an $8 million raise in 2019, when he’ll make $23 million. The extension also calls for him to make $30 million in 2020 and $32 million in 2021, when he would be 44.
