NOTICE OF COURT MEETING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, by an Order dated 27 March 2015 made in the above matters, the Court has directed a Meeting to be convened of the Scheme Shareholders (as defined in the Scheme of Arrangement referred to below) for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving (with or without modification) a scheme of arrangement (the "Scheme of Arrangement") proposed to be made between Hutchison

2015 at 2:00 p.m., at which place and time all the Scheme Shareholders are entitled to attend.

Scheme Shareholders (other than those who are precluded from voting as detailed in the Scheme of Arrangement) may vote in person at the Meeting or they may appoint another person, whether a member of the Company or not, as their proxy to attend and vote in their stead. A pink form of proxy for use at the Meeting is enclosed herewith.
It is requested that forms appointing proxies be lodged at the Company's registered office at 22nd Floor, Hutchison House, 10 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the Meeting, but if forms are not so lodged, they may be handed to the Chairman of the Meeting at the Meeting.
Where there are joint holders of any share, any one of such persons may vote at the Meeting, either personally or by proxy, in respect of such share as if he were solely entitled to it; but if more than one of such joint holders be present at the Meeting personally or by proxy, that one of the said persons so present whose name stands first in the register of members of the Company in respect of such share shall alone be entitled to vote in respect of it.
By the same Order, the Court has appointed Mr. Fok Kin Ning, Canning or, failing him, Mr. Li Tzar Kuoi, Victor or, failing him, Mr. Li Ka-shing, all being directors of the Company, to act as Chairman of the Meeting and has directed the Chairman to report the result of it to the Court.
The Scheme of Arrangement will be subject to the subsequent approval of the Court. Dated this 31st day of March 2015.
