VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT 2017 NINE MONTHS RESULTS OF WIND TRE S.P.A.The board of directors (the "Board") of CK Hutchison Holdings Limited (the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") has noted that Wind Tre S.p.A. ("Wind Tre", an indirect wholly- owned subsidiary of VIP-CKH Luxembourg S.à r.l., a joint venture company equally owned by the Company and VEON Ltd. (formerly VimpelCom Ltd.)), has announced on its website its unaudited 2017 nine months results.
Based on the information currently available from Wind Tre, the Board would like to advise that the Group's share of nine months results of the telecommunications businesses in Italy to be included in the Group's annual results for the year ending 31 December 2017 (the "2017 Annual Results") will differ from the 2017 nine months results as announced by Wind Tre. These differences are noted in the reconciliation below:
Wind Tre's YTD Sep 2017 results 4,626 1,619 1,419 (1,078) 50% share of Wind Tre's YTD Sep 2017 results Group's share of Wind Tre's YTD Sep 2017 results € millionsConsolidation

For revenue, the consolidation adjustments mainly represent reclassification of the handset and other revenue arising from customer acquisition and retention activities to conform with the Group's definition of revenue. The consolidation adjustments for EBITDA before integration costs mainly represent reclassification of sale of handset receivables related items to conform with the Group's accounting treatment and presentation.
The accounting standards require the Group to account for Wind Tre's assets and liabilities at fair value at the formation of Wind Tre. Accordingly, provisions for commitments, onerous contracts and guarantees had been made and a lower valuation had been assigned by the Group to the assets of the telecommunications businesses in Italy as a result of the formation of Wind Tre. These provisions and lower values are required to be reflected in the Group's consolidated financial statements as a result of the applicable accounting standards. Consequently, adjustments to EBITDA and EBIT of the telecommunications businesses in Italy have been made when the Group's 50% interest in Wind Tre is incorporated into the Group's consolidated results.
