no. 8 or above is in force in Hong Kong at 9:00 a.m. on that day, at the same time and place on Monday, 17 May 2021), including (i) the ordinary resolution for the general mandates to issue shares and to repurchase shares which are proposed to be granted to the Directors; and (ii) the ordinary resolution for the proposed re-electionof the Directors who are due to retire, and to give you notice of the AGM at which the resolutions as set out in the Notice of the AGM dated 7 April 2021 (the "Notice of AGM") will be proposed.

PROPOSED GENERAL MANDATES FOR ISSUE OF NEW SHARES AND SHARE REPURCHASE

On 13 May 2020, a general mandate was given to the Directors to issue and dispose of additional shares of the Company. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to seek your approval at the AGM of an ordinary resolution granting the Directors a general mandate to issue and dispose of during the Relevant Period (as defined below) additional shares representing not more than 10% (instead of 20% as permitted under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange") (the "Listing Rules")) of the total number of shares of the Company in issue at the date of the passing of the resolution and the shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to this general mandate shall not be at a discount of more than 10% to the Benchmarked Price (as described in Rule 13.36(5) of the Listing Rules) of such shares until the next annual general meeting. Relevant Period means the period from the passing of the resolution until whichever is the earliest of: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company;

  1. the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by law to be held; and (iii) the date on which the authority set out in this resolution is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders of the Company in general meeting. The Board wishes to state that it has no immediate plans to issue and allot any new shares of the Company pursuant to the general mandate under the Resolution 5 as set out in the Notice of AGM. The general mandate is being sought from shareholders in compliance with the requirements under the Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules.

On the same date, a general mandate was also given to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase shares of the Company. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to seek your approval at the AGM of an ordinary resolution granting the Directors a general mandate to repurchase during the Relevant Period (as defined above) shares representing not more than 10% of the total number of shares of the Company in issue at the date of the passing of the resolution (the "Repurchase Mandate"). In accordance with the relevant rules set out in the Listing Rules regulating the repurchase by companies of their own securities on the Stock Exchange, the Company is required to send shareholders an explanatory statement containing information reasonably necessary to enable shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the purchase by the Company of its own shares. This explanatory statement is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

DIRECTORS PROPOSED TO BE RE-ELECTED

In accordance with Article 118 of the Company's articles of association, Mr. Neil Douglas McGee, Mr. Ralph Raymond Shea, Mr. Wan Chi Tin and Mr. Wu Ting Yuk, Anthony will retire by rotation at the AGM, and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

Details of the retiring Directors that are required to be disclosed under the Listing Rules are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

The Nomination Committee of the Company has considered the nomination of the retiring Directors for re-election at the AGM. The nomination was made in accordance with the Director Nomination Policy and took into account the Board's composition as well as the various diversity aspects as set out in the Board Diversity Policy. Mr. Ralph Raymond Shea (as a member of the Nomination Committee) abstained from voting on the recommendation on his own re-election throughout the nomination processes.

Each of Mr. Ralph Raymond Shea and Mr. Wu Ting Yuk, Anthony, both being Independent Non-executive Directors, has confirmed his independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. Neither of them has been involved in the daily management of the Company nor in any relationship or circumstances which would interfere with their exercise of independent judgement.

Mr. Ralph Raymond Shea has served on the Board as Independent Non-executive Directors for more than nine years. He has had an extensive legal career with wide experience in diversified fields, and possesses the integrity and business insight necessary for his role as independent director. His considerable knowledge and experience with the Company's businesses as well as his skills and expertise are important in providing independent views to the Board and in making informed judgements on conformance issues. He has provided sufficient time commitment for Board matters and brought significant commercial and professional expertise to the Board and the Board committees. The Board is of the view that the length of tenure does not affect the independence of Mr. Shea.

Mr. Wu Ting Yuk, Anthony possesses vast experience in finance and accounting, and diverse experience and expertise through his involvement in different business sectors and public service. He will continue to contribute to the Board with a diversity of perspectives, skills and experience. Notwithstanding that Mr. Wu is currently holding seven listed company directorships (including the Company), Mr. Wu has shown devotion and commitment to the Board by his active participation at meetings of the Company and high attendance rate at the Board meetings and relevant Board Committee meetings and the annual general meeting held in year 2020. Mr. Wu has confirmed, and the Nomination Committee is satisfied, that he has devoted sufficient time and attention to the affairs of the Group.

- 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Nomination Committee is of the view that having regard to the above factors, these retiring Directors continue to be suitable candidates to serve on the Board and recommended their nomination for re-election at the AGM, and that each of Mr. Shea and Mr. Wu meets the independence factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and is independent in accordance with the guidelines. The Nomination Committee is also of the view that Mr. Wu would still be able to devote sufficient time to the Board and continue to provide professional and independent views to the Group's affairs.

Accordingly, the Board endorsed the views and recommendations of the Nomination Committee and recommended the retiring Directors to stand for re-election at the AGM. The Board considers that the re-election of the retiring Directors as Directors is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. The retiring Directors abstained from the discussion and voting at the Board meeting regarding their respective nominations.

Any shareholder who wishes to nominate a person to stand for election as a Director of the Company at the AGM must lodge with the Company Secretary of the Company at Unit 2005, 20th Floor, Cheung Kong Center, 2 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong within the period from Friday, 9 April 2021 to Thursday, 15 April 2021, both days inclusive, (i) a written nomination of the candidate, (ii) written confirmation from such nominated candidate of his/ her willingness to stand for election as a Director, and (iii) the biographical details of such nominated candidate as required under Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules for publication by the Company.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT

The resolutions to be proposed at the AGM are set out in full in the Notice of AGM on pages 18 to 22 of this circular. Whether or not you intend to attend the AGM physically or online, you are requested to complete the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the registered office of the Company at the address stated above no later than 48 hours before the time for holding the AGM. Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman of the meeting, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Accordingly, the chairman of the AGM will exercise his power under Article 81 of the Company's articles of association to put each of the resolutions set out in the Notice of AGM to vote by way of a poll.

An announcement will be made by the Company following the conclusion of the AGM to inform you of the results of the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RECOMMENDATIONS

The Directors consider that the resolutions as set out in the Notice of AGM are all in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. The Directors also consider that it is in the interests of the Company and its shareholders to re-elect those Directors retiring at the AGM who, being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election at the AGM. Accordingly, the Directors recommend you to vote in favour of all such resolutions at the AGM.

Yours faithfully,

FOK Kin Ning, Canning

Chairman

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to shareholders under the Listing Rules and also constitutes the memorandum required under Section 239 of the Companies Ordinance.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at 29 March 2021 (the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this circular), the total number of ordinary shares of the Company in issue was 2,134,261,654 shares.

Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate (being 10% of the total number of shares of the Company in issue), on the basis that no further shares are issued prior to the date of the AGM, could accordingly result in up to 213,426,165 shares being repurchased by the Company during the course of the period ending on the earlier of the date of the annual general meeting in 2022, and the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to seek a general authority from shareholders to enable the Directors to purchase shares of the Company in the market. Such purchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets and/or earnings per share. The Directors are seeking a general mandate to repurchase shares to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the circumstances then prevailing.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its articles of association and the Companies Ordinance. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase would be derived from the distributable profits of the Company.

There could be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated accounts contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

The Directors have given an undertaking to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make all repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Hong Kong.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates have any present intention to sell any shares to the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved and exercised. No other core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved and exercised.

- 12 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at 29 March 2021 (the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this circular), CK Infrastructure Holdings Limited ("CKI") and its subsidiary Hyford Limited held through certain subsidiaries of Hyford Limited (including Monitor Equities S.A. and Univest Equity S.A.) a total of 767,499,612 shares, representing approximately 35.96% of the total number of shares of the Company in issue. By virtue of their direct and/or indirect shareholdings in CKI, CK Hutchison Holdings Limited and its subsidiary, CK Hutchison Global Investments Limited ("CKHGI"), and Hutchison Infrastructure Holdings Limited of which certain subsidiaries of CKHGI hold more than one-third of the issued voting shares thereof (collectively the "Substantial Shareholders") were each deemed to hold these same 767,499,612 shares.

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, then (if the present shareholdings otherwise remained the same) the shareholding of CKI in the Company would be increased to approximately 39.96% of the total number of shares of the Company in issue and similarly, so would the deemed shareholdings of each of the Substantial Shareholders be increased. In the opinion of the Directors such increase may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26.1 of the Code on Takeovers and Mergers.

SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not purchased any of its shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the date of this circular.
