On 30 March 2022, the board of directors (the "Board") of China Merchants Port Holdings Company Limited (the "Company") announced their recommendation of a final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2021 (the "Final Dividend") in scrip form to shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on 13 June 2022 (the "Record Date") equivalent to HK$0.72 per ordinary share of the Company (the "Share(s)") with an alternative to shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") to elect to receive the Final Dividend in cash in lieu of all or part of their scrip dividend entitlements. At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 2 June 2022, the Final Dividend was approved by the Shareholders.

A circular setting out details of the Final Dividend (the "Scrip Dividend Circular") was sent to Shareholders on 16 June 2022. This announcement should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified by, the Scrip Dividend Circular. It was mentioned, among others, that for the purpose of calculating the number of new Shares to be allotted, the market value of a new Share will be calculated as an amount equal to the average closing price of one Share on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange") for the five consecutive trading days (on which such price is available) up to and including 22 June 2022. It is now determined that the average

closing price is HK$13.284. Accordingly, the number of new Shares which Shareholders will receive, in respect of the existing Shares registered in their names as at the Record Date will be calculated as follows:-

The number of new Shares to be received will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of the new Shares. Fractional entitlements to new Shares will be aggregated and sold and the benefit thereof will accrue to the Company. The new Shares to be issued in respect of the Final Dividend will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Shares except that they shall not rank for the Final Dividend.

Shareholders who wish to receive the Final Dividend in cash, or partly in cash and partly in new Shares are reminded that the Form of Election must be completed and returned to the Share Registrar of the Company, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong not later than 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 6 July 2022.

No Form of Election is required if Shareholders elect to receive the Final Dividend in new Shares.
