CHEUNG KONG (HOLDINGS) LIMITED


(incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region with Company No. 24096)

Issue Price: 100 per cent.


The 5.125 per cent. Guaranteed Senior Perpetual Securities (the Securities) will be issued in an aggregate principal amount of S$500,000,000 by Cheung Kong Bond Securities Limited (the Issuer) and the due and punctual payment of all sums payable by the Issuer in respect of the Securities will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed (the Guarantee of the Securities) by Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited (the Guarantor). The Securities confer a right to receive distributions (each a Distribution) for the period from and including 9 September 2011 (the Issue Date) at the rate of 5.125 per cent. per annum (the Distribution Rate). Subject to the provisions of the Securities relating to deferral of Distribution (see Terms and conditions of the securities Distribution Distribution Deferral), Distribution is payable semi-annually in arrear on 9 March and 9 September of each year (each a Distribution Payment Date), with the first Distribution Payment Date falling in March 2012. The Issuer may, at its sole discretion, elect to defer Distribution which is otherwise scheduled to be paid on a Distribution Payment Date to the next Distribution Payment Date by giving notice to the holders of the Securities (Holders) and to Deutsche Bank AG Hong Kong Branch (the Fiscal Agent) not more than 12 nor less than seven Business Days (as defined in the terms and conditions of the Securities (the Terms and conditions of the securities)) prior to the scheduled Distribution Payment Date if, during the three months ending on the day before that scheduled Distribution Payment Date no dividend, distribution or other payment has been paid or declared by the Guarantor on or in respect of any of its Junior Securities (as defined in Terms and Conditions of the Securities). Any Distribution so deferred shall constitute Arrears of Distribution. The Issuer shall have no obligation to pay any Distribution (including any Arrears of Distribution and any Additional Distribution Amount (as defined in Terms and Conditions of the Securities)) on any Distribution Payment Date if it validly elects not to do so in accordance with the Terms and conditions of the securities and any failure to pay Distribution will not constitute a default of the Issuer in respect of the Securities or of the Guarantor in respect of the Guarantee of the Securities. The Issuer may, at its sole discretion, elect to (in accordance with the Terms and conditions of the securities) further defer any Arrears of Distribution. The Issuer is not subject to any limit as to the number of times Distributions and Arrears of Distribution can or shall be deferred pursuant to the Terms and Conditions of the Securities (See Terms and Conditions of the Securities Distribution Distribution Deferral). Each amount of Arrears of Distribution shall bear interest as if it constituted the principal of the Securities at the Distribution Rate and the amount of such interest (the Additional Distribution Amount) with respect to Arrears of Distribution shall be due and payable pursuant to the Terms and Conditions of the Securities and shall be calculated by applying the Distribution Rate to the amount of the Arrears of Distribution as described in Terms and conditions of the securities Distribution Cumulative Deferral. The Securities are perpetual securities and have no fixed final redemption date. The Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, on the Distribution Payment Date falling in September 2016 or any Distribution Payment Date thereafter on the Issuer giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice to the Holders (which notice shall be irrevocable and shall oblige the Issuer to redeem the Securities on the relevant date for redemption) at 100 per cent. of their principal amount plus Distribution accrued to such date (including any Arrears of Distribution and any Additional Distribution Amount). The Securities may also be redeemed at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice to the Holders, the Registrar (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Securities) and the Fiscal Agent (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Securities) at 100 per cent. of their principal amount, together with Distribution accrued to the date fixed for redemption (including any Arrears of Distribution and any Additional Distribution Amounts) upon the occurrence of: (i) any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of the British Virgin Islands (in the case of the Issuer) or the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (in the case of the Guarantor) or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after 2 September 2011 such that the Issuer or (as the case may be) the Guarantor has or would become obliged to pay additional amounts in respect of the Securities or the Guarantee of the Securities (as the case may be) and such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer or the Guarantor (as the case may be) taking reasonable measures available to it; or (ii) any change or amendment to the Relevant Accounting Standard (as defined in Terms and Conditions of the Securities) such that the Securities and/or the Guarantee of the Securities must not or must no longer be recorded as equity of the Guarantor pursuant to the Relevant Accounting Standard.

The Guarantor was incorporated in June 1971 under the name Cheung Kong Real Estate Company Limited. It adopted its present name in August 1972 and became a public listed company in November 1972. In 1979, the Guarantor acquired a strategic stake of approximately 22.4 per cent. of the issued share capital of Hutchison Whampoa Limited (Hutchison Whampoa), a listed conglomerate which operates and invests in five core businesses: ports and related services; property and hotels; retail; energy and infrastructure, finance and investments and other operations; and telecommunications. As at the date of this Information Memorandum, the Guarantors shareholding in Hutchison Whampoa is approximately 49.9 per cent. As at 31 July 2011, the combined market capitalisation of the Cheung Kong Groups Hong Kong listed companies amounted to HK$934 billion. The Cheung Kong Group operates in 52 countries and employs about 250,000 staff worldwide. Members of the Cheung Kong Group include the Guarantor, Hutchison Whampoa and Power Assets Holdings Limited (formerly known as Hongkong Electric Holdings Limited) (Power Assets), which are constituent stocks of the Hang Seng Index; Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings Limited (CKI), CK Life Sciences Intl., (Holdings) Inc., Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited, Hutchison Harbour Ring Limited (HHR) and TOM Group Limited (TOM Group), which are companies listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (SEHK). Principal Business The Group is engaged principally in property development and investment in Hong Kong and in different regions of the world, including Mainland China, the United Kingdom and Singapore and develops high quality and large-scale properties for sale and investment in the residential, retail, office, hotel and industrial sectors. The Groups high quality properties and after-sale services, complemented by flexible and market-responsive sales strategies, have been the cornerstone of the Groups success in property sales. Other major business activities of the Group in Hong Kong include property and project management, hotel and serviced suite operation and investment in securities. Through the Groups investment in Hutchison Whampoa, the Group is also involved in ports and related services; property and hotels; retail; energy and infrastructure, finance and investments and other operations; and telecommunications.

Business Strategy The Groups business strategy is to continue to: focus on property development in Hong Kong, Mainland China and overseas markets, particularly residential property developments featuring high quality design and construction to build on its reputation as a premier property developer in these markets; extend further its presence in property markets outside Hong Kong, with focused expansion in Mainland China, the United Kingdom and Singapore so as to increase its property portfolio with prime sites and quality projects, and to enhance the Groups established position and market share in these markets; maintain an on-going process of replenishing its land bank at low cost through direct purchases, site conversions and joint ventures with land owners; expand its quality portfolio of investment properties to enhance recurrent rental income; maintain a strategic investment holding in Hutchison Whampoa; and maintain a prudent policy on financial management.

Risk factors
Prior to making any investment decision, prospective investors should consider carefully all of the information in this Information Memorandum, including the risks and uncertainties described below. The business, financial condition or results of operations of the Group could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The Issuer and the Guarantor believe that the following factors may affect their ability to fulfil their respective obligations under the Securities and the Guarantee of the Securities. All of these factors are contingencies which may or may not occur and the Issuer and the Guarantor are not in a position to express a view on the likelihood of any such contingency occurring. Factors which the Issuer and the Guarantor believe may be material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with the Securities and the Guarantee of the Securities are also described below. The Issuer and the Guarantor believe that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent in investing in the Securities, but the inability of the Issuer or the Guarantor to pay principal, distribution or other amounts or fulfil other obligations on or in connection with the Securities or the Guarantee of the Securities may occur for other reasons and the Issuer and the Guarantor do not represent that the statements below regarding the risks of holding the Securities are exhaustive. Terms used in this section and otherwise not defined shall have the meanings given to them in Terms and conditions of the securities. Limitations of this Information Memorandum This Information Memorandum does not purport to nor does it contain all information that a prospective investor or existing holder of the Securities may require in investigating the Issuer and the Guarantor, prior to making an investment or divestment decision in relation to the Securities. Neither this Information Memorandum nor any other document or information (or any part thereof) delivered or supplied under or in relation to the Securities is intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation and should not be considered as a recommendation by the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Joint Lead Managers that any recipient of this Information Memorandum or any such other document or information (or such part thereof) should subscribe for or purchase, own or dispose of the Securities. Each person receiving this Information Memorandum acknowledges that such person has not relied on the Issuer, the Guarantor, their respective subsidiaries or associated companies (if any) or the Joint Lead Managers or any person affiliated with each of them in connection with its investigation of the accuracy or completeness of the information contained herein or of any additional information considered by it to be necessary in connection with its investment or divestment decision. Any recipient of this Information Memorandum contemplating subscribing for or purchasing or disposing of the Securities should determine for itself the relevance of the information contained in this Information Memorandum and any such other document or information (or any part thereof) and its investment or divestment should be, and shall be deemed to be, based solely upon its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs, and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness, of the Issuer, the Guarantor, their respective subsidiaries and associated companies (if any), the terms and conditions of the Securities and any other factors relevant to its decision, including the merits and risks involved.

12

Risks relating to the Issuer and the business of the Guarantor and the Group The Issuer is a thinly capitalised special purpose vehicle The Issuer is a thinly capitalised special purpose vehicle with no significant net assets. When subscribing for or purchasing the Securities, investors are relying on the Guarantors creditworthiness and no one else. Risks associated with property developments There exist general risks inherent in property development and in the ownership of properties, including, among other things, risks that financing for development may not be available on favourable terms, that construction may not be completed on schedule or within budget, that long-term financing may not be available on completion of construction, that developed properties may not be sold or leased on profitable terms, that there will be intense competition from other developers or property owners which may lead to vacant properties or an inability to sell or rent properties on favourable terms, that purchasers or tenants may default, that properties held for rental purpose will need to be renovated, repaired and re-let on a periodic basis, that it may not be possible to renew leases or re-let spaces when existing leases expire, and that the property market conditions are subject to changes in environmental laws and regulations and zoning laws and other governmental rules and fiscal policies. Property values and rental values are also affected by factors such as political developments, governmental regulations and changes in planning or tax laws, levels of interest rates and consumer prices, the overall supply of properties and the imposition of government measures to dampen property prices. Investment in property is generally illiquid, which may limit the ability of the Group to timely realise property assets into cash. In addition, suitable land of significant size at appropriate prices is not easy to obtain due to limited supply of land in Hong Kong, while acquisition of land in the Mainland and other overseas markets may be subject to various other regulatory requirements or restrictions. Future growth prospects of the property development business is therefore affected by the availability and price levels of prime sites in Hong Kong, the Mainland and other overseas markets. Properties could suffer physical damage by fire or other causes and the Group may be exposed to any potential risks associated with public liability claims, resulting in losses (including loss of rent and value of properties) which may not be fully compensated for by insurance proceeds, and such events may in turn affect the Groups financial condition or results of operations. There is also the possibility of other losses for which the Group may not obtain insurance at a reasonable cost or at all. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, payment of compensation may be required and this may affect the returns on capital invested in that property. The Group would also remain liable for any debt or other financial obligation, such as committed capital expenditures related to that property. In addition, insurance policies will have to be renewed every year and acceptable terms for coverage will have to be negotiated, thus exposing the Group to the volatility of the insurance markets, including the possibility of increases in insurance premiums.

13

Risks associated with the holding company structure The Guarantor is a holding company that operates through subsidiaries. It is principally a holding company with limited operations of its own. The Guarantor will depend, to a significant extent, upon the receipt of dividends from its subsidiaries and associates to meet its overhead expenses and to make payments with respect to its obligations, including its obligations under the Guarantee of the Securities, and in order to provide funds to its subsidiaries and associates. The ability of subsidiaries and associates of the Guarantor to pay dividends to their respective shareholders (including the Guarantor) is subject to the performance and cash flow requirements of such subsidiaries and associates and to applicable law and restrictions contained in debt instruments of such subsidiaries and associates if any. The Guarantors obligations under the Guarantee of the Securities will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future obligations of its direct and indirect subsidiaries and associates. All claims of creditors of these subsidiaries and associates, including trade creditors, lenders and all other creditors, will have priority as to the assets of such entities over claims of the Guarantor and its creditors, including holders of the Securities as beneficiaries of the Guarantee of the Securities. No assurance can be given that the Guarantor will have sufficient cash flow from dividends to satisfy its obligations, including its obligations under the Guarantee of the Securities or otherwise to enable the Issuer to make payments under the Securities, or that its subsidiaries and associates will pay dividends at all. Risks associated with geographic and market concentration and general political and economic conditions The Group derives its revenue and operating profits mainly from its Hong Kong property investment activities and is consequently highly dependent on the state of the Hong Kong property market. As the Groups property investment portfolio is predominantly concentrated in Hong Kong, a disaster affecting Hong Kong or changes in the political and economic environment of Hong Kong would have a greater impact on the Group than if its properties were more geographically diversified. Historically, the Hong Kong property market has been cyclical and Hong Kong property values have been affected by the supply and demand of comparable properties, the rate of economic growth in Hong Kong, political and economic developments in Mainland China and the condition of the global economy. On 1 July 1997, Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China. Although Hong Kong has thus far enjoyed a high degree of legislative, judicial and economic autonomy since the handover, there can be no assurance that there will not be a change in regulatory oversight as a consequence of the exercise by the Peoples Republic of China of its sovereignty over Hong Kong or, should such change occur, that the Groups business, financial condition and the results of its operations will not be adversely affected. The Groups revenue is mainly generated from its operations in Hong Kong. Accordingly, its operations and performance may be affected by the general political and economic environment in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Future political or economic instability or a sustained slowdown in domestic economic activities in Hong Kong and Mainland China, especially in relation to property, will adversely affect the Groups business.

14

Economic developments outside Hong Kong, such as the recent global credit and liquidity crisis, efforts by the government of the Peoples Republic of China to control inflation in the Mainland China and interest rate movements in the United States, could also adversely affect the property market in Hong Kong. In the event of economic decline and recession, the Group may experience market pressures that affect Hong Kong property companies, such as pressures from tenants or prospective tenants to provide rent reductions or other incentives. Rental values are also affected by factors such as political developments, governmental regulations and changes in planning or tax laws, interest rate levels and inflation. Risks associated with industry trends and interest rates The trends in the industries in which the Group operates, including the property market sentiment and conditions, the property values in Hong Kong, mark to market value of securities investments, the currency environment and interest rate cycles, may pose significant impact on the Groups results. There can be no assurance that the combination of industry trends and interest rates the Group may experience in the future will not adversely affect its financial condition or results of operations. In particular, income from finance and treasury operations is dependent upon the capital markets, interest rates and currency environment, and the worldwide economic and market conditions, and therefore there can be no assurance that changes in these conditions will not adversely affect the Groups financial condition or results of operations. The volatilities in the financial markets may also adversely affect the income to be derived by the Group from its finance and treasury activities. Risks associated with the effect of global credit markets on the economy Economic developments outside Hong Kong could also adversely affect the property market in Hong Kong and the Groups overall business. In the second half of 2008, the global credit markets experienced significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions which had originated from the liquidity disruptions in the United States and the European Union credit and sub-prime residential mortgage markets. These and other related events, such as the previous collapse of a number of financial institutions, have had a significant adverse impact on the global credit and financial markets. The deterioration in the financial markets resulted in a recession in the United States and global economy, which led to significant declines in employment, household wealth, consumer demand and lending and as a result adversely affected economic growth in Hong Kong and elsewhere. There can be no assurance that a recession in the United States or global economy will not also result in an oversupply of property and reduced property prices and rentals in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Although global economic conditions have improved and certain credit markets have shown signs of recovery in 2011 due in large part to stimulus measures adopted by various governments, there is no assurance that these credit markets will continue to recover or that the various governments will maintain their stimulus measures. If the economic recovery fails to continue or if an economic slowdown were to return, the Group may have difficulty accessing the financial markets, which could make it more difficult or expensive to obtain funding and, in addition, there can be no assurance that

15

the Group will be able to raise finance at a reasonable cost. The Group may also be subject to solvency risks of banks and of its counterparties in its financial investments and arrangements. These may have a material adverse impact on the operations of the Group. Highly competitive markets The Groups principal business operations face significant competition across the markets in which they operate. New market entrants and intensified price competition among existing market players could adversely affect the Groups financial condition or results of operations. Competition risks faced by the Group include (a) an increasing number of developers undertaking property investment and development in Hong Kong, Mainland China and in other overseas markets, which may affect the market share and returns of the Group; and (b) significant competition and pricing pressure from other developers which may adversely affect the financial performance of the Groups operations. Risks associated with currency fluctuations The results of the Group are recorded in Hong Kong dollars but its various subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures may receive revenue and incur expenses in other currencies. Any currency fluctuations on translation of the accounts of these subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and also on the repatriation of earnings, equity investments and loans may therefore impact on the Groups performance. Although currency exposures have been managed by the Group, a depreciation or fluctuation of the currencies in which the Group conducts operations relative to the Hong Kong dollar could adversely affect the Groups financial condition or results of operations. Risks associated with strategic partners Some of the businesses of the Group are conducted through non wholly-owned subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in which the Group shares control (in whole or in part) and strategic alliances have been formed by the Group with other strategic or business partners. There can be no assurance that any of these strategic or business partners will continue their relationships with the Group in the future or that the Group will be able to pursue its stated strategies with respect to its non wholly-owned subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and the markets in which they operate. Furthermore, the joint venture partners may (a) have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of the Group, (b) take actions contrary to the Groups policies or objectives, (c) undergo a change of control, (d) experience financial and other difficulties or (e) be unable or unwilling to fulfill their obligations under joint ventures, which may affect the Groups financial condition or results of operations. Impact of local, national and international regulations The local business risks in different countries and cities in which the Group operates could have a material impact on the financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects of the businesses in the relevant market. The Group has investments in different countries and cities around the world and the Group is, and may increasingly become, exposed to different and changing political, social, legal, tax, regulatory and environmental requirements at the local, national or international level. Also, new policies or measures by governments, whether fiscal, tax, regulatory, environmental or other competitive changes, may lead to an increase in additional or unplanned capital

16

expenditure, pose a risk to the overall investment return of the Groups businesses and may delay or prevent the commercial operation of a business with resulting loss of revenue and profit. Impact of new accounting standards The Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) has from time to time issued new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (HKFRS). As accounting standards continue to develop, HKICPA may in the future issue new and revised HKFRS and the Group may be required to adopt new accounting policies which might or could have a significant impact on the Groups financial position or results of operations. The Groups financial condition or results of operations are affected by those of the Hutchison Group The Guarantor maintains a shareholding of approximately 49.9 per cent. in Hutchison Whampoa, its major associate. Hutchison Whampoa, a company incorporated in Hong Kong in July 1977, is a Hong Kong-based multinational conglomerate whose securities are listed on the SEHK. The profit contribution from Hutchison Whampoa and its consolidated subsidiaries (the Hutchison Group) has been a significant part of the Guarantors recurrent income. The Hutchison Group operates five core business divisions in 52 countries, including ports and related services; property and hotels; retail; energy and infrastructure, finance and investments and other operations; and telecommunications. The Groups financial condition and results of operations are materially affected by those of the Hutchison Group. In addition, the core businesses of the Hutchison Group are different from those of the Group, and as a result, the Group is indirectly exposed to the risks that the Hutchison Group is facing. Risks associated with outbreak of highly contagious diseases In 2003, there was an outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in Hong Kong, Mainland China and other places. The SARS outbreak had a significant adverse impact on the economies of the affected countries. The spread of Influenza A H1N1 in 2009 also affected many areas of the world and there were reported cases of NDM-1 in many countries and regions. There can be no assurance that there will not be another significant global outbreak of a severe communicable disease such as avian influenza or SARS. If such an outbreak were to occur, it may have a material adverse impact on the operations of the Group and its results of operations may suffer. Risks Relating to the Securities The Securities are perpetual securities and investors have no right to require redemption The Securities are perpetual and have no maturity date. The Issuer is under no obligation to redeem the Securities at any time and the Securities can only be disposed of by sale. Holders who wish to sell their Securities may be unable to do so at a price at or above the amount they have paid for them, or at all, if insufficient liquidity exists in the market for the Securities.

The Issuer and the Guarantor may raise other capital which affects the price of the Securities The Issuer and/or the Guarantor may raise additional capital through the issue of other securities or other means. There is no restriction, contractual or otherwise, on the amount of securities or other liabilities which the Issuer and the Guarantor may issue or incur and which rank senior to, or pari passu with, the Securities. The issue of any such securities or the incurrence of any such other liabilities may reduce the amount (if any) recoverable by Holders on a Winding-Up of the Issuer and/or the Guarantor and/or may increase the likelihood of a deferral of Distribution under the Securities. The issue of any such securities or the incurrence of any such other liabilities might also have an adverse impact on the trading price of the Securities and/or the ability of Holders to sell their Securities. Holders may not receive Distribution payments if the Issuer elects to defer Distribution payments and any decision to elect to defer Distribution may be influenced by the Guarantors majority shareholder The Issuer may, at its sole discretion, elect to defer any scheduled Distribution on the Securities for any period of time. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor is subject to certain restrictions in relation to the payment of dividends on its equity and the redemption and repurchase of its equity until any Arrears of Distribution are satisfied. The Issuer is not subject to any limits as to the number of times Distributions can be deferred pursuant to the Terms and Conditions of the Securities subject to compliance with the foregoing restrictions. Although Distributions are cumulative, the Issuer may defer their payment for an indefinite period of time by delivering the relevant deferral notices to the Holders, and Holders have no rights to claim any Distribution, Arrears of Distribution or Additional Distribution Amount if there is such a deferral. The Issuers decision to defer Distribution on the Securities will be dictated by the decision of the Guarantor, of which it is a wholly-owned subsidiary. These decisions of the Guarantor are, in turn, subject to the influence of its majority shareholder, which also exercises board and management control over the Guarantor. Investors should be aware that the interests of the Issuer and the Guarantor and of the shareholders of the Guarantor, including the majority shareholder, may be different to the interests of the Holders. Further, the Issuer and the Guarantor are permitted to continue to advance loans to and otherwise invest in the debt, equity and other securities of their respective shareholders, including the majority shareholder, or the shareholders of other subsidiaries of the Guarantor whilst deferring Distribution on the Securities. Any funds which are so advanced or invested will not be available to service Distribution. The Securities may be redeemed at the Issuers option at any time on or after five years after the Issue Date or the occurrence of certain other events The Terms and Conditions of the Securities provide that the Securities are redeemable at the option of the Issuer on any Distribution Payment Date falling on or after the date which is five years after the Issue Date at 100 per cent. of their principal amount together with all outstanding Arrears of Distribution (if any), Additional Distribution Amounts (if any) and Distribution (if any) accrued to the date fixed for redemption. In addition, the Issuer also has the right to redeem the Securities at 100 per cent. of their principal amount together with all outstanding Arrears of Distribution (if any), Additional Distribution Amounts (if any) and Distribution (if any) accrued to the date fixed for redemption upon the occurrence of: (i) any change in, or amendment to, the laws or 18

regulations of the British Virgin Islands (in the case of the Issuer) or the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (in the case of the Guarantor) or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after 2 September 2011 such that the Issuer or the Guarantor (as the case may be) has or would become obliged to pay additional amounts in respect of the Securities or the Guarantee of the Securities (as the case may be) and such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer or the Guarantor (as the case may be) taking reasonable measures available to it; or (ii) any change or amendment to the Relevant Accounting Standard (as defined in Terms and Conditions of the Securities) such that the Securities and/or the Guarantee of the Securities must not or must no longer be recorded as equity of the Guarantor pursuant to the Relevant Accounting Standard. The date on which the Issuer elects to redeem the Securities may not accord with the preference of individual Holders. This may be disadvantageous to Holders in light of market conditions or the individual circumstances of the Holder of Securities. In addition, an investor may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in comparable securities at an effective distribution rate at the same level as that of the Securities. There are limited remedies for default under the Securities and the Guarantee of the Securities Any scheduled Distribution will not be due if the Issuer elects to defer that Distribution pursuant to the Terms and Conditions of the Securities. Notwithstanding any of the provisions relating to non-payment defaults, the right to institute Winding-Up proceedings is limited to circumstances where payment has become due and the Issuer (failing which, the Guarantor) fails to make the payment when due. The only remedy against the Issuer and the Guarantor available to any Holder of Securities for recovery of amounts in respect of the Securities and/or the Guarantee of the Securities following the occurrence of a payment default after any sum becomes due in respect of the Securities and/or the Guarantee of the Securities will be proving in such Winding-Up and/or claiming in the liquidation of the Issuer and/or the Guarantor in respect of any payment obligations of the Issuer and/or the Guarantor arising from the Securities and/or the Guarantee of the Securities. The Securities contain provisions regarding modification and waivers which may affect the rights of Holders The Terms and Conditions of the Securities contain provisions for calling meetings of Holders to consider matters affecting their interests generally. These provisions permit defined majorities to bind all Holders, including Holders who did not attend and vote at the relevant meeting and Holders who voted in a manner contrary to the majority. In addition, an Extraordinary Resolution in writing signed by or on behalf of the Holders of not less than 90 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of Securities outstanding shall for all purposes be as valid and effective as an Extraordinary Resolution passed at a meeting of Holders duly convened and held. The Terms and Conditions of the Securities also provide that the Securities, the Terms and Conditions of the Securities, the Deed of Covenant, the MDSA and the Deed of Guarantee may be amended without the consent of the Holders to correct a manifest error. In addition, the parties to the Agency Agreement may agree to modify any provision thereof, but the Issuer shall not agree, without the consent of the Holders, to 19

any such modification unless it is of a formal, minor or technical nature, it is made to correct a manifest error or it is, in the opinion of such parties, not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Holders. An active trading market for the Securities may not develop The Securities are a new issue of securities for which there is currently no trading market. Although approval in-principle has been obtained from the SGX-ST for the listing and quotation of the Securities on the SGX-ST, no assurance can be given that the Issuer will obtain or be able to maintain a listing of the Securities on the Official List of the SGX-ST or that an active trading market for the Securities will develop or as to the liquidity or sustainability of any such market, the ability of Holders to sell their Securities or the price at which Holders will be able to sell their Securities. The Joint Lead Managers are not obliged to make a market in the Securities and any such market making, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time at the sole discretion of the Joint Lead Managers. The Securities are issued by a special purpose vehicle and the Guarantee of the Securities is given by a holding company The Issuer is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor formed for the principal purpose of issuance of the Securities and will on-lend the entire proceeds (after deduction of commission, costs and expenses in relation thereto) from the issue of the Securities to the Guarantor and/or its subsidiaries. The Issuer does not and will not have any net assets other than a nominal share capital and such on-lent loans and its ability to make payments under the Securities depends on timely payments under such loans. In the event that the Guarantor and/or its subsidiaries do not make such payments due to limitations in such loans or other agreements, lack of available cashflows or other factors, the Issuers ability to make payments under the Securities could be adversely affected. The Guarantor is primarily a holding company and its ability to make payments in respect of the Guarantee of the Securities or to fund payments by the Issuer depends largely upon the receipt of dividends, distributions, interest or advances from its wholly or partly owned subsidiaries, its associated companies and the Groups jointly controlled entities. The ability of the subsidiaries and associated companies of the Guarantor and the Groups jointly controlled entities to pay dividends and other amounts to the Guarantor may be subject to their profitability and to applicable laws and to restrictions on the payment of dividends contained in their respective constitutional documents, financing or other agreements. Payments under the Guarantee of the Securities are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations of each of the Guarantors subsidiaries (other than the Issuer), its associated companies and the Groups jointly controlled entities. Claims of creditors of such companies will have priority as to the assets of such companies over the Guarantor and its creditors, including Holders seeking to enforce the Guarantee of the Securities. In addition, a part of the Guarantors subsidiaries indebtedness is secured on the assets of those subsidiaries, and the beneficiaries of the security will have priority as to those assets, which would reduce the amount available to unsecured parties, including Holders, in the event of an insolvency. The terms of the Securities do not restrict the ability of the Guarantors subsidiaries, associated companies and jointly controlled entities to incur additional debt. In addition, further issues of equity interests by such subsidiaries, associated companies and jointly controlled entities may dilute the ownership interest of the Guarantor in such entities.

20

Tax treatment of the Securities is unclear An advance tax ruling will be requested from the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) to confirm, amongst other things, whether Holders may enjoy the tax concessions available for qualifying debt securities under the qualifying debt securities scheme, as set out in Taxation Singapore, provided that the relevant conditions are met. Should the IRAS, in giving its tax ruling, impose additional tax disclosure requirements on the Issuer or other conditions and the Issuer decides, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to comply with these additional tax disclosure requirements or conditions, the Securities may not be regarded as qualifying debt securities and Holders thereof may not be eligible for the tax concessions under the qualifying debt securities scheme. There is no guarantee that a favourable ruling will be obtained from the IRAS. If, on the other hand, the IRAS rules that the Holders are not eligible for the tax concessions under the qualifying debt securities scheme, the tax treatment to Holders may differ, as set out in Taxation Singapore. Investors and Holders should consult their own accounting and tax advisers regarding the Singapore income tax consequences of their acquisition, holding and disposal of the Securities. Integral multiples of less than the specified denomination The denominations of the Securities are S$250,000 and in higher integral multiples of S$1,000 in excess thereof. It is possible that the Securities may be traded in amounts in excess of S$250,000 that are not integral multiples of S$250,000. In such a case, a Holder who, as a result of trading such amounts, holds a principal amount of less than S$250,000 will not receive a definitive Certificate in respect of such holding (should definitive Certificates be printed) and would need to purchase a principal amount of Securities such that it holds an amount equal to one or more denominations. If definitive Certificates are issued, Holders should be aware that definitive Certificates which represent Securities which have a denomination that is not an integral multiple of S$250,000 may be illiquid and difficult to trade.

(b) Status of the Guarantee of the Securities: The Guarantor has, in the Deed of Guarantee, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed the due and punctual payment of all sums payable by the Issuer in respect of the Securities.

In these Conditions, the Holder of a Security means the person in whose name such Security is for the time being registered in the Register (or, in the case of a joint holding, the first named thereof).

(b) Title: The Holder of each Security shall (except as otherwise required by law) be treated as the absolute owner of such Security for all purposes (whether or not it is overdue and regardless of any notice of ownership, trust or any other interest therein, any writing on the Certificate relating thereto (other than the endorsed form of transfer) or any notice of any previous loss or theft of such Certificate) and no person shall be liable for so treating such Holder. No person shall have any right to enforce any term or condition of the Securities or the Agency Agreement under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act, Chapter 53B of Singapore. For so long as any of the Securities is represented by the Global Certificate (as defined in the Agency Agreement) and the Global Certificate is held by the Depository, each person who is for the time being shown in the records of the Depository as the holder of a particular principal amount of such Securities (in which regard any certificate or other document issued by the Depository as to the principal amount of such Securities standing to the account of any person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes save in the case of manifest error) shall be treated by the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Fiscal Agent and all other agents of the Issuer or the Guarantor as the holder of such principal amount of Securities other than with respect to the payment of principal, distributions and any other amounts in respect of the Securities, for which purpose the Holder of the Global Certificate shall be treated by the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Fiscal Agent and all other agents of the Issuer as the holder of such Securities in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Global Certificate (and the expression Holder and related expressions shall be

In this paragraph, business day means a day, excluding a Saturday and a Sunday, on which commercial banks are open for general business (including dealings in foreign currencies) in the city where the Registrar or (as the case may be) the relevant Transfer Agent has its Specified Office. (e) No charge: The transfer of a Security will be effected without charge by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Registrar or any Transfer Agent but against such indemnity as the Registrar or (as the case may be) such Transfer Agent may require in respect of any tax or other duty of whatsoever nature which may be levied or imposed in connection with such transfer.

4. Distribution (a) Accrual of Distribution: Subject to Condition 4(c) (Distribution Distribution Deferral), the Securities confer a right to receive distribution (each a Distribution) from 9 September 2011 (the Issue Date) at the Distribution Rate in accordance with this Condition 4. Subject to Condition 4(c) (Distribution Distribution Deferral), Distribution shall be payable on the Securities semi-annually in arrear on 9 March and 9 September of each year (each, a Distribution Payment Date), with the first Distribution Payment Date falling in March 2012. Unless otherwise provided for in these Conditions, each Security will cease to confer the right to receive any Distribution from the due date for redemption unless, upon due presentation, payment of the full amount due is improperly withheld or refused. In such latter event, Distribution will continue to accrue at the applicable Distribution Rate (after as well as before any judgment) up to but excluding whichever is the earlier of (a) the date on which all sums due in respect of any Security are received by or on behalf of the relevant Holder and (b) the day which is seven days after the Fiscal Agent has notified the Holders that it has received all sums due in respect of the Securities up to such seventh day (except to the extent that there is a failure in the subsequent payment to the relevant Holders under these Conditions). The amount of Distribution payable on each Distribution Payment Date shall be S$6,406.25 in respect of each Security of S$250,000 denomination and S$25.63 in respect of each Security of S$1,000 denomination. If a Distribution is required to be paid in respect of a Security on any other date, it shall be calculated by multiplying the Distribution Rate by the Day Count Fraction, rounding the resulting figure to the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards) and multiplying such rounded figure by the denomination of such Security and Day Count Fraction means, in respect of any period, the number of days in the relevant period divided by 365. Distribution payable under this Condition will be paid in accordance with Condition 6 (Payments). For so long as any of the Securities is represented by the Global Certificate and the Global Certificate is held by the Depository, the Distributions (including Arrears of Distribution and Additional Distribution Amounts) payable on such Securities will be determined based on the aggregate holdings of Capital Securities of each person who is for the time being shown in the records of the Depository as the holder of a particular principal amount of such Securities. (b) Rate of Distribution: The rate of distribution (Distribution Rate) applicable to the Securities shall be 5.125 per cent. per annum. (c) Distribution Deferral: (i) Optional Deferral: The Issuer may, at its sole discretion, elect to defer Distribution which is otherwise scheduled to be paid on a Distribution Payment Date to the next Distribution Payment Date by giving notice (an Optional Deferral Notice) to the Holders (in accordance with Condition 14 (Notices)) and the Fiscal Agent not more than 12 nor less than seven Business Days prior to a scheduled Distribution Payment Date if, during the three months ending on the

25

day before that scheduled Distribution Payment Date no dividend, distribution or other payment has been paid or declared by the Guarantor on or in respect of any of its Junior Securities (an Optional Deferral Event). (ii) No obligation to pay: The Issuer shall have no obligation to pay any Distribution (including any Arrears of Distribution and any Additional Distribution Amount) on any Distribution Payment Date if it validly elects not to do so in accordance with Condition 4(c)(i) (Distribution Distribution Deferral Optional Deferral) and any failure to pay Distribution shall not constitute a default of the Issuer in respect of the Securities or of the Guarantor in respect of the Guarantee of the Securities. (iii) Requirements as to Notice: Each Optional Deferral Notice shall be accompanied, in the case of the notice to the Fiscal Agent, by a certificate in the form scheduled to the Agency Agreement signed by two directors of the Guarantor confirming that an Optional Deferral Event has occurred and is continuing. The Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to accept such certificate as sufficient evidence of the occurrence of an Optional Deferral Event, in which event it shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders. (iv) Cumulative Deferral: Any Distribution deferred pursuant to this Condition 4(c) shall constitute Arrears of Distribution. The Issuer may, at its sole discretion, elect to (in the circumstances set out in Condition 4(c)(i) (Distribution Distribution Deferral Optional Deferral)) further defer any Arrears of Distribution by complying with the foregoing notice requirement applicable to any deferral of an accrued Distribution. The Issuer is not subject to any limit as to the number of times Distributions and Arrears of Distribution can or shall be deferred pursuant to this Condition 4(c) except that this Condition 4(c)(iv) shall be complied with until all outstanding Arrears of Distribution have been paid in full. Each amount of Arrears of Distribution shall bear interest as if it constituted the principal of the Securities at the Distribution Rate and the amount of such interest (the Additional Distribution Amount) with respect to Arrears of Distribution shall be due and payable pursuant to this Condition 4 and shall be calculated by applying the Distribution Rate to the amount of the Arrears of Distribution and otherwise mutatis mutandis as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Condition 4. The Additional Distribution Amount accrued up to any Distribution Payment Date shall be added for the purpose of calculating the Additional Distribution Amount accruing thereafter, to the amount of Arrears of Distribution remaining unpaid on such Distribution Payment Date so that it will itself become Arrears of Distribution. (v) Restrictions in the case of Deferral: If on any Distribution Payment Date, payment of all Distribution payments scheduled to be made on such date is not made in full by reason of this Condition 4(c), the Issuer and the Guarantor shall not: (a) declare or pay any dividends, distributions or make any other payment on, and will procure that no dividend, distribution or other payment is made on any of its Junior Securities; or

26

(b) redeem, reduce, cancel, buy-back or acquire for any consideration any of its Junior Securities, unless and until the Issuer or the Guarantor (i) has satisfied in full all outstanding Arrears of Distribution; or (ii) is permitted to do so by an Extraordinary Resolution (as defined in the Agency Agreement) of the Holders, provided that nothing in this Condition 4(c) shall restrict the ability of the Issuer or the Guarantor to advance loans to any of their respective shareholders or shareholders of other subsidiaries of the Guarantor or otherwise invest in such shareholders or subsidiaries debt, howsoever issued or represented. (vi) Satisfaction of Arrears of Distribution by payment: The Issuer: (a) may satisfy any Arrears of Distribution (in whole or in part) at any time by giving notice of such election to the Holders (in accordance with Condition 14 (Notices)) and the Fiscal Agent not more than 20 nor less than 10 Business Days prior to the relevant payment date specified in such notice (which notice is irrevocable and shall oblige the Issuer to pay the relevant Arrears of Distribution on the payment date specified in such notice); and (b) in any event shall satisfy any outstanding Arrears of Distribution (in whole but not in part) on the earlier of (1) the date of redemption of the Securities in accordance with Condition 5(b) (Redemption and Purchase Redemption for tax reasons), 5(c) (Redemption and Purchase Redemption for accounting reasons) or 5(d) (Redemption and Purchase Redemption at the option of the Issuer); and (2) the date such amount becomes due under Condition 8 (Non-payment). Any partial payment of outstanding Arrears of Distribution by the Issuer shall be shared by the Holders of all outstanding Securities on a pro-rata basis. (vii) No default: Notwithstanding any other provision in these Conditions or in the Agency Agreement, the deferral of any Distribution payment in accordance with this Condition 4(c) shall not constitute a default for any purpose (including, without limitation, pursuant to Condition 8 (Non-payment)) on the part of the Issuer or the Guarantor. (viii) Definitions: For the purposes of these Conditions: Business Day means any day, excluding a Saturday and a Sunday, on which banks are open for general business (including dealings in foreign currencies) in Hong Kong and Singapore; HKFRS means Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants; and Junior Security means, in relation to the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, any class of its share capital qualifying as equity under HKFRS. 5. Redemption and Purchase (a) No fixed redemption date: The Securities are perpetual securities in respect of which there is no fixed redemption date and the Issuer shall (subject to the provisions of Condition 2 (Status of the Securities and the Guarantee of the

27

Securities) and without prejudice to Condition 8 (Non-payment)), only have the right to redeem or purchase them in accordance with the following provisions of this Condition 5. (b) Redemption for tax reasons: The Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice to the Holders, the Registrar and the Fiscal Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable) at their principal amount, together with Distribution accrued to the date fixed for redemption (including any Arrears of Distribution and any Additional Distribution Amount), if: (i) (A) the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay additional amounts as provided or referred to in Condition 7 (Taxation) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of the British Virgin Islands or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment becomes effective on or after 2 September 2011; and (B) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it; or (ii) (A) the Guarantor has or (if a demand was made under the Guarantee of the Securities) would become obliged to pay additional amounts as provided or referred to in Condition 7 (Taxation) or the Guarantee of the Securities, as the case may be, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of Hong Kong or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment becomes effective on or after 2 September 2011 and (B) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Guarantor taking reasonable measures available to it; provided, however, that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or the Guarantor would be obliged to pay such additional amounts if a payment in respect of the Securities were then due or (as the case may be) a demand under the Guarantee of the Securities were then made. Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition 5(b), the Guarantor shall deliver or procure that there is delivered to the Fiscal Agent: (A) a certificate, signed by two directors of the Issuer, stating that the circumstances referred to in (i)(A) and (i)(B) above prevail and setting out the details of such circumstances or (as the case may be) a certificate signed by two directors of the Guarantor stating that the circumstances referred to in (ii)(A) and (ii)(B) above prevail and setting out details of such circumstances; and (B) an opinion of independent legal advisers of recognised standing to the effect that the Issuer or (as the case may be) the Guarantor has or will become obliged to pay such additional amounts as a result of such change or amendment. Upon the expiry of any such notice as is referred to in this Condition 5(b), the Issuer shall be bound to redeem the Securities in accordance with this Condition 5(b). 28

(c) Redemption for accounting reasons: The Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice to the Holders (which notice shall be irrevocable) at their principal amount, together with Distribution accrued to the date fixed for redemption (including any Arrears of Distribution and any Additional Distribution Amount), if, as a result of any changes or amendments to HKFRS or any other accounting standards that may replace HKFRS for the purposes of the consolidated financial statements of the Guarantor (the Relevant Accounting Standard), the Securities and/or the Guarantee of the Securities must not or must no longer be recorded as equity of the Guarantor pursuant to the Relevant Accounting Standard. Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition 5(c), the Guarantor shall deliver or procure that there is delivered to the Fiscal Agent: (A) a certificate, signed by two directors of the Guarantor, stating that the circumstances referred to above prevail and setting out the details of such circumstances; and (B) an opinion of the Guarantors independent auditors stating that the circumstances referred to above prevail and the date on which the relevant change or amendment to the Relevant Accounting Standard is due to take effect, provided, however that no notice of redemption may be given under this Condition 5(c) earlier than 90 days prior to the date on which the relevant change or amendment to the Relevant Accounting Standard is due to take effect in relation to the Issuer and/or the Guarantor. Upon the expiry of any such notice as is referred to in this Condition 5(c), the Issuer shall be bound to redeem the Securities in accordance with this Condition 5(c) provided that such date for redemption shall be no earlier than the last day before the date on which the Securities and/or the Guarantee of the Securities must not or must no longer be so recorded as equity of the Guarantor pursuant to the Relevant Accounting Standard.

Meetings of Holders; Modification (a) Meetings of Holders: The Agency Agreement contains provisions for convening meetings of Holders to consider matters relating to the Securities, including the modification of any provision of these Conditions or the Agency Agreement. Any such modification may be made if sanctioned by an Extraordinary Resolution. Such a meeting may be convened by the Issuer and the Guarantor (acting together) and shall be convened by them upon the request in writing of Holders holding not less than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities. The quorum at any meeting convened to vote on an Extraordinary Resolution will be two or more persons holding or representing one more than half of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities or, at any adjourned meeting, two or more persons being or representing Holders of whatever the principal amount of the Securities held or represented; provided, however, that certain proposals of the Issuer and/or the Guarantor (including any proposal to change any date fixed for payment of principal or Distribution (including any Arrears of Distribution and any Additional Distribution Amount) in respect of the Securities, to reduce the amount 33

of principal or Distribution (including any Arrears of Distribution and any Additional Distribution Amount) payable on any date in respect of the Securities, to alter the method of calculating the amount of any payment in respect of the Securities or the date for any such payment, to change the currency of payments under the Securities, to amend the terms of the Guarantee of the Securities or to change the quorum requirements relating to meetings or the majority required to pass an Extraordinary Resolution (each, a Reserved Matter)) may only be sanctioned by an Extraordinary Resolution passed at a meeting of Holders at which two or more persons holding or representing not less than three-quarters or, at any adjourned meeting, one quarter of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities form a quorum. Any Extraordinary Resolution duly passed at any such meeting shall be binding on all the Holders, whether present or not. In addition, a resolution in writing signed by or on behalf of Holders of not less than 90 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of Securities for the time being outstanding will take effect as if it were an Extraordinary Resolution. Such a resolution in writing may be contained in one document or several documents in the same form, each signed by or on behalf of one or more Holders. (b) Modification: The Securities, these Conditions, the Deed of Covenant, the Deed of Guarantee and the Master Depositary Services Agreement may be amended without the consent of the Holders to correct a manifest error. In addition, the parties to the Agency Agreement may agree to modify any provision thereof, but the Issuer shall not agree, without the consent of the Holders, to any such modification unless it is of a formal, minor or technical nature, it is made to correct a manifest error or it is, in the opinion of such parties, not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Holders. 13. Further Issues The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue further securities having the same terms and conditions as the Securities in all respects (or in all respects except for the first payment of Distribution) so as to form a single series with the Securities. 14. Notices Notices to the Holders will be sent to them by first class mail (or its equivalent) or (if posted to an overseas address) by airmail at their respective addresses on the Register. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the fourth day after the date of mailing. Notices may, so long as the Global Certificate is held in its entirety on behalf of the Depository, be delivered to the Depository for communication by it to the holders of the Securities. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given to the Noteholders on the seventh day after the day on which the said notice was given to the Depository. Notices to the holders of Securities shall also be given (so long as the Securities are listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited and the rules of such exchange so require) in a leading newspaper having general circulation Singapore (which is expected to be the Business Times).

34

Governing Law and Jurisdiction (a) Governing law: The Securities and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with the Securities are governed by, and construed in accordance with, Singapore law. (b) Jurisdiction: Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor has in the Agency Agreement (i) agreed for the benefit of the Holders that the courts of Singapore shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute (a Dispute) arising out of or in connection with the Securities (including any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with the Securities) and accordingly any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with the Securities (Proceedings) may be brought in such courts; (ii) agreed that those courts are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle any Dispute and irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and, accordingly waives any objection to Proceedings in such courts whether on the ground of inappropriateness of venue or on the ground that Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum; and (iii) designated a company in Singapore to accept service of any process on its behalf.

Summary of provisions relating to the securities whilst in global form


The Global Certificate contains provisions which apply to the Securities whilst represented by the Global Certificate, some of which modify the effect of the Terms and Conditions of the Securities set out in the Information Memorandum. Terms defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Securities have the same meaning in the paragraphs below. The following is a summary of those provisions: Initial Issue of Securities Upon registration of the Securities in the name of CDP and delivery of the Global Certificate to CDP, CDP will credit each subscriber with a nominal amount of Securities equal to the nominal amount thereof for which it has subscribed and paid. Relationship of Accountholders with Clearing Systems Each of the persons shown in the records of CDP as the Holder represented by the Global Certificate must look solely to CDP for his share of each payment made by the Issuer to the Holder of the underlying Securities and in relation to all other rights arising under the Global Certificate, subject to and in accordance with the respective rules and procedures of CDP. Such persons shall have no claim directly against the Issuer in respect of payments due on the Securities for so long as the Securities are represented by the Global Certificate and such obligations of the Issuer will be discharged by payment to the Holder of the underlying Securities in respect of each amount so paid. Deposit and Exchange For so long as any of the Securities is represented by the Global Certificate and the Global Certificate is held by CDP, each person who is for the time being shown in the records of CDP as the holder of a particular principal amount of such Securities (in which regard any certificate or other document issued by CDP as to the principal amount of such Securities standing to the account of any person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes save in the case of manifest error) shall be treated by the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Fiscal Agent and all other agents of the Issuer or the Guarantor as the holder of such principal amount of Securities other than with respect to the payment of principal, distributions and any other amounts in respect of the Securities, for which purpose the holder of the Global Certificate shall be treated by the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Fiscal Agent and all other agents of the Issuer as the holder of such Securities in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Global Certificate. Securities which are represented by the Global Certificate will be transferable only in accordance with the rules and procedures for the time being of CDP. These provisions will not prevent the transfers of interests in the Securities within CDP whilst they are held on behalf of CDP, but will limit the circumstances in which the Securities may be withdrawn from CDP. The Global Certificate will become exchangeable in whole, but not in part, for individual certificates (Individual Certificates) if (i) upon a Winding-Up (as defined in Terms and conditions of the securities) of the Issuer or the Guarantor; (ii) CDP (or an alternative clearing system, as shall have been designated by the Issuer) is closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days (other than by reason of holiday, statutory or otherwise); (iii) CDP announces an intention to permanently cease business and no alternative

36

clearing system is available or (iv) CDP has notified the Issuer that it is unable or unwilling to act as depository for the Securities and to continue performing its duties and no alternative clearing system is available. Amendment to Conditions The Global Certificate contains provisions that apply to the Securities that they represent, some of which modify the effect of the Terms and Conditions of the Securities. The following is a summary of certain of those provisions: 1 Payments

All payments made in respect of Securities represented by the Global Certificate will be made to, or to the order of, the person whose name is entered on the Register at the close of business on the date falling five Business Days prior to the date for payment. 2 Meetings

The Holder represented by the Global Certificate shall (unless the Global Certificate represents only one of the Securities) be treated as being two persons for the purposes of any quorum requirements of a meeting of Holders and, at any such meeting, the Holder shall be treated as having one vote in respect of each integral currency unit of the currency of the Securities. All Holders are entitled to one vote in respect of each integral currency unit of the currency of the Securities comprising such Holders holding, whether or not represented by the Global Certificate. 3 Cancellation

Cancellation of any of the Securities that is required by the Terms and Conditions of the Securities to be cancelled (other than upon its redemption) will be effected by reduction in the nominal amount of the relevant Securities. 4 Issuers Option

Any option of the Issuer provided for in the Terms and Conditions of the Securities shall be exercised by the Issuer giving notice to the Holders within the time limits set out in and containing the information required by the Terms and Conditions of the Securities, except that the notice shall not be required to contain the serial numbers of Securities drawn in the case of a partial exercise of an option and accordingly no drawing of Securities shall be required. In the event that any option of the Issuer is exercised in respect of some but not all of the Securities, the rights of accountholders with a clearing system in respect of the Securities will be governed by the standard procedures of CDP. 5 Direct Rights in respect of Securities cleared through CDP

Upon the occurrence of an Exchange Event (as defined in the Global Certificate), a Holder represented by the Global Certificate cleared through CDP shall, without prejudice to any other rights which it may have and without the need for any further action on behalf of any person, automatically acquire against the Issuer all those rights which such Holder would have had if, immediately before the Relevant Time (i.e. the time specified in the Global Certificate at which the Global Certificate becomes exchangeable for Individual Certificates following the occurrence of an Exchange Event or the time when a notice is given by the Holder that he has elected for Direct Rights to arise in relation to the whole 37

or a stated part of the Global Certificate), it had been the holder and beneficial owner of duly executed and authenticated Individual Certificates, in respect of each Security represented by the Global Certificate which such Holder had credited to its Securities Account with CDP at the Relevant Time, including, but without limitation, the right to receive payments of principal, distribution and any other amounts due at any time in respect of such Individual Certificates, other than payments corresponding to any already made under the Global Certificate. 6 Notices

Notices may, so long as the Global Certificate is held in its entirety on behalf of the Depository, be delivered to the Depository for communication by it to the holders of the Securities. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given to the Holders on the seventh day after the day on which the said notice was given to the Depository. Notices to the holders of Securities shall also be given (so long as the Securities are listed on the SGX-ST and the rules of such exchange so require) in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Singapore (which is expected to be the Business Times).

38

Use of proceeds
The net proceeds from the offering of the Securities, after deducting underwriting commissions and expenses, are estimated to be approximately S$494 million. The entire amount of the net proceeds will be on-lent by the Issuer to the Guarantor and/or other members of the Group, which will use the net proceeds for general corporate funding purposes.

Recent Developments Energy, Infrastructure, Finance & Investments and Other Operations In June 2011, Husky Energy closed its C$1 billion bought-deal public offering of common shares and its C$200 million on current private placement.

Financial Management The Group maintains a conservative approach on foreign exchange exposure management. As at 30 June 2011, approximately 91.7 per cent. of the Groups borrowings were in HK$ and US$ with the balance in S$, mainly for the purpose of financing projects outside Hong Kong. The Group derives its revenue mainly in HK$, cash balances and marketable securities are maintained mainly in HK$ or US$, and the Group ensures that its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates is minimised. The Groups borrowings are principally on a floating rate basis and where appropriate, swaps are arranged to convert the rates and related terms of the fixed rate bonds and notes issued to a floating rate basis. 61

At times of interest rate or exchange rate uncertainty or volatility and where appropriate, hedging instruments including swaps and forwards are used by the Group to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. As at 30 June 2011, the Groups bonds and notes, bank loans and other loans amounted to HK$6.4 billion, HK$22.6 billion and HK$3.4 billion respectively, and the Groups total borrowings were HK$32.4 billion, a decrease of HK$4.7 billion from the end of last year. The maturity profile is spread over a period of nine years, with HK$15.3 billion repayable within one year, HK$15.3 billion within two to five years and HK$1.8 billion beyond five years. The Groups net debt to net total capital ratio at 30 June 2011 was approximately 3.4 per cent. Net debt is arrived at by deducting bank balances and deposits from the Groups total borrowings and net total capital is the aggregate of total equity and net debt. With cash and marketable securities in hand as well as available banking facilities, the Groups liquidity position remains strong and the Group has sufficient financial resources to satisfy its commitments and working capital requirements. Employees As at 30 June 2011, the Group employed approximately 9,600 employees for its principal businesses.

Clearing and settlement


Introduction Clearance of the Securities will be effected through an electronic book-entry clearance and settlement system for the trading of debt securities (Depository System) maintained by CDP. CDP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singapore Exchange Limited, is incorporated under the laws of Singapore and acts as a depository and clearing organisation. CDP holds securities for its accountholders and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between accountholders through electronic book-entry changes in the securities accounts maintained by such accountholders with CDP. Clearance and Settlement under the Depository System The entire issue of the Securities is to be held by CDP in the form of the Global Certificate for persons holding the Securities in securities accounts with CDP (Depositors). Delivery and transfer of Securities between Depositors is by electronic book-entries in records of CDP only, as reflected in the securities accounts of Depositors. Although CDP encourages settlement on the third business day following the trade date of debt securities, market participants may mutually agree on a different settlement period if necessary. Settlement of over-the-counter trades in the Securities through the Depository System may only be effected through certain corporate depositors (Depository Agents) approved by CDP under the Companies Act, Chapter 50 of Singapore to maintain securities sub-accounts and to hold the Securities in such securities sub-accounts for themselves and their clients. Accordingly, Securities for which trade settlement is to be effected through the Depository System must be held in securities sub-accounts with Depository Agents. Depositors holding the Securities in direct securities accounts with CDP, and who wish to trade Securities through the Depository System, must transfer the Securities to be traded from such direct securities accounts to a securities sub-account with a Depository Agent for trade settlement. General CDP is not involved in money settlement between Depository Agents (or any other persons) as CDP is not a counterparty in the settlement of trades of debt securities. However, CDP will make payment of interest and repayment of principal on behalf of issuers of debt securities. Although CDP has established procedures to facilitate transfer of interests in the Securities in global form among Depositors, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. None of the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Fiscal Agent or any other agent will have the responsibility for the performance by CDP of its obligations under the rules and procedures governing its operations.

Taxation
The statements below are general in nature and are based on current tax laws in Singapore, British Virgin Islands, Hong Kong and administrative guidelines issued by the relevant authorities in force as at the date of this Information Memorandum and are subject to any changes in such laws or administrative guidelines, or the interpretation of those laws or guidelines, occurring after such date, which changes could be made on a retroactive basis. These laws and guidelines are also subject to various interpretations and the relevant tax authorities or the courts may later disagree with the explanations or conclusions set out below. Neither these statements nor any other statements in this Information Memorandum are intended or are to be regarded as advice on the tax position of any holder of the Securities or of any person acquiring, selling or otherwise dealing with the Securities or on any tax implications arising from the acquisition, sale or other dealings in respect of the Securities. The statements made herein do not purport to be a comprehensive nor exhaustive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to subscribe for, purchase, own or dispose of the Securities and do not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules or tax rates. The statements should not be regarded as advice on the tax position of any person and should be treated with appropriate caution. Prospective holders of the Securities are advised to consult their own professional tax advisers as to the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership of or disposal of the Securities, including, in particular, the effect of any foreign, state or local tax laws to which they are subject. It is emphasised that none of the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Joint Lead Managers or any other persons involved in the issue and offer of the Securities accepts responsibility for any tax effects or liabilities resulting from the subscription for, purchase, holding or disposal of the Securities. British Virgin Islands As the Issuer is incorporated under the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (as amended) of the British Virgin Islands, (i) payment of principal and interest in respect of the Securities will not be subject to taxation in the British Virgin Islands, (ii) no withholding tax will be required to be deducted by the Issuer on such payments to any holder of the Securities, and (iii) the Securities will not be liable to stamp duty in the British Virgin Islands. Gains derived from the sale of the Securities by persons who are not otherwise liable to British Virgin Islands income tax will not be subject to British Virgin Islands income tax. A holder of the Securities who is a non-resident of the British Virgin Islands will not be subject to estate or gift taxes with respect to the Securities. Singapore The following discussion is also based upon the assumption that the Issuer is not tax resident in Singapore for Singapore income tax purposes. General Individual Taxpayers An individual is a tax resident in Singapore in a year of assessment if in the preceding year he was physically present in Singapore or exercised an employment in Singapore (other than as a director of a company) for 183 days or more or if he resides in Singapore. 65

Individual taxpayers who are Singapore tax residents are subject to Singapore income tax on income accruing in or derived from Singapore, subject to certain exceptions. All foreign-sourced income received in Singapore on or after 1 January 2004 by a Singapore tax resident individual (except for income received through a partnership in Singapore) is exempt from Singapore income tax if the Comptroller of Income Tax in Singapore (Comptroller) is satisfied that the tax exemption would be beneficial to the individual. Foreign-sourced income received or deemed received in Singapore by an individual not resident in Singapore is exempt from Singapore income tax. A Singapore tax resident individual is taxed at progressive rates ranging from 0% to 20% for the years of assessment 2011 and 2012 (that is, in respect of income earned during the calendar year or other basis period ending in 2010 and 2011 respectively). Non-resident individuals, subject to certain exceptions, are subject to Singapore income tax on income accruing in or derived from Singapore at the rate of 20% for the years of assessment 2011 and 2012. Corporate Taxpayers A company is tax resident in Singapore if the control and management of its business is exercised in Singapore. Corporate taxpayers who are Singapore tax residents are subject to Singapore income tax on income accruing in or derived from Singapore and, subject to certain exceptions, on foreign-sourced income received or deemed to be received in Singapore. Foreign-sourced income in the form of dividends, branch profits and service income received or deemed to be received in Singapore by Singapore tax resident companies on or after 1 June 2003 are exempt from tax if certain prescribed conditions are met, including the following: (i) such income is subject to tax of a similar character to income tax (by whatever name called) under the law of the territory from which such income is received; and (ii) at the time the income is received in Singapore, the highest rate of tax of a similar character to income tax (by whatever name called) levied under the law of the territory from which the income is received on any gains or profits from any trade or business carried on by any company in that territory at that time is not less than 15%. Certain concessions and clarifications have also been announced by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) with respect to such conditions. Non-resident corporate taxpayers, with certain exceptions, are subject to Singapore income tax on income accruing in or derived from Singapore, and on foreign-sourced income received or deemed to be received in Singapore. The corporate tax rate in Singapore is 17% with effect from the year of assessment 2010. In addition, three-quarters of up to the first S$10,000, and one-half of up to the next S$290,000, of a companys chargeable income otherwise subject to normal taxation is exempt from corporate tax. New companies will also, subject to certain conditions, be eligible for full tax exemption on the first S$100,000 and 50% tax exemption on the next S$200,000 of normal chargeable income a year for each of the companys first three consecutive years of assessment.

Application for Tax Ruling An advance tax ruling will be requested from the IRAS (the Tax Ruling) to confirm, amongst other things, whether Holders of the Securities may enjoy the tax concessions available for qualifying debt securities, provided that the other conditions for the qualifying debt securities scheme (as elaborated upon further below) are satisfied. If, on the other hand, the IRAS rules that the Holders are not eligible for the tax concessions under the qualifying debt securities scheme, the tax treatment to Holders may differ and the Distributions would be taxable when received or deemed received in Singapore (or if the Securities are held as part of a trade or business carried out in Singapore, as and when the Distributions are derived), unless otherwise exempted. If IRAS rules that the Distributions (including Arrears of Distribution and/or Additional Distribution Amounts) or any part thereof are not eligible for tax benefits for qualifying debt securities, investors and Holders should consult their own accounting and tax advisers regarding the Singapore income tax consequences of their acquisition, holding and disposal of the Securities. Interest and Other Payments on Debt Securities The disclosure below is on the assumption that: (i) the IRAS rules, amongst other things, that Holders of the Securities may enjoy the tax concessions available for qualifying debt securities; and (ii) the issue of the Securities is jointly lead-managed by J.P. Morgan (S.E.A.) Limited and DBS Bank Ltd (each of which is a Financial Sector Incentive (Bond Market) Company, as defined in the Income Tax Act, Chapter 134 of Singapore (the Income Tax Act)). Subject to certain prescribed conditions having been fulfilled (including the furnishing by the Issuer, or such other persons as the Comptroller may direct, of a return on debt securities in respect of the Securities within such period as the Comptroller may specify and such other particulars in connection with the Securities as the Comptroller may require to the Comptroller and the Monetary Authority of Singapore(MAS)), interest, discount income (not including discount income arising from secondary trading), prepayment fee, redemption premium and break cost (collectively, the Qualifying Income) from the Securities which are paid by the Issuer and which are derived by any company or a body of persons (as defined in the Income Tax Act) in Singapore is subject to income tax at a concessionary rate of 10% (with the exception of certain entities which have been granted the relevant Financial Sector Incentives which may be taxed at different rates). However, notwithstanding the foregoing: (I) if during the primary launch of the Securities, the Securities are issued to fewer than four persons and 50% or more of the issue of the Securities is beneficially held or funded, directly or indirectly, by related parties of the Issuer, the Securities would not qualify as qualifying debt securities; and (II) even though the Securities are qualifying debt securities, if, at any time during the tenure of the Securities, 50% or more of the issue of the Securities is held beneficially or funded, directly or indirectly, by any related party(ies) of the Issuer, Qualifying Income derived from the Securities held by: (aa)any related party of the Issuer; or 67

(bb)any other person where the funds used by such person to acquire the Securities are obtained, directly or indirectly, from any related party of the Issuer, shall not be eligible for the concessionary rate of tax as described above. The term related party, in relation to a person, means any other person who, directly or indirectly, controls that person, or is controlled, directly or indirectly, by that person, or where he and that other person, directly or indirectly, are under the control of a common person. The terms prepayment fee, redemption premium and break cost are defined in the Income Tax Act as follows: prepayment fee, in relation to debt securities and qualifying debt securities, means any fee payable by the issuer of the securities on the early redemption of the securities, the amount of which is determined by the terms of the issuance of the securities; redemption premium, in relation to debt securities and qualifying debt securities, means any premium payable by the issuer of the securities on the redemption of the securities upon their maturity; and break cost, in relation to debt securities and qualifying debt securities, means any fee payable by the issuer of the securities on the early redemption of the securities, the amount of which is determined by any loss or liability incurred by the holder of the securities in connection with such redemption. References to prepayment fee, redemption premium and break cost in this Singapore tax disclosure have the same meaning as defined in the Income Tax Act. Where any interest, discount income (not including discount income arising from secondary trading), prepayment fee, redemption premium or break cost is derived from the Securities by any person who is not resident in Singapore and who carries on any operation in Singapore through a permanent establishment in Singapore, the tax exemption otherwise available to such non-resident person for qualifying debt securities (subject to certain conditions) under the Income Tax Act shall not apply if such non-resident person acquires the Securities using the funds and profits of such non-resident persons operation through a permanent establishment in Singapore. Any person whose interest, discount income, prepayment fee, redemption premium or break cost derived from the Securities is not exempt from Singapore income tax shall include such income in a return of income made under the Income Tax Act. Please note that only Distributions are payable on the Securities, and the Securities will not participate in the earnings of the Issuer. Accordingly, Distributions on the Securities may be taxable in the hands of Holders of the Securities in the year the Distributions are due to them, irrespective of whether the Issuer has paid the Distributions due to them or not. In view of the above, in the event that the Distributions are not payable, or not payable in full, on any Distribution Payment Date due to any deferral in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Securities, Holders of the Securities should consult their professional advisers with respect to the tax consequences to them (including as to whether they may have any tax liability on any amount of Distributions which are not payable or not payable in full). 68

Capital Gains Any gains considered to be in the nature of capital made from the sale of the Securities will not be taxable in Singapore. However, there are no specific laws or regulations which deal with the characterisation of capital gains and hence, gains derived by any person from the sale of the Securities may be construed to be of an income nature and subject to Singapore income tax, especially if they arise from activities which the Comptroller would regard as carrying on a trade or business in Singapore. Holders of the Securities who are adopting Singapore Financial Reporting Standard 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (FRS 39) may, for Singapore income tax purposes be required to recognise gains or losses (not being gains or losses in the nature of capital) on the Securities, irrespective of disposal, in accordance with FRS 39. Please see the section below on Adoption of FRS 39 Treatment for Singapore Income Tax Purposes. Adoption of FRS 39 Treatment for Singapore Income Tax Purposes The IRAS has issued a circular entitled Income Tax Implications Arising from the Adoption of FRS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (the FRS 39 Circular). Legislative amendments to give legislative effect to the FRS 39 Circular have been enacted in Section 34A of the Income Tax Act. The FRS 39 Circular and Section 34A of the Income Tax Act generally apply, subject to certain opt-out provisions, to taxpayers who are required to comply with FRS 39 for financial reporting purposes. Holders of the Securities who may be subject to the tax treatment under the FRS 39 Circular and Section 34A of the Income Tax Act should consult their own accounting and tax advisers regarding the Singapore income tax consequences of their acquisition, holding or disposal of the Securities. Estate Duty Singapore estate duty has been abolished with respect to all deaths occurring on or after 15 February 2008. Hong Kong Withholding tax No withholding tax in Hong Kong is payable on payments of principal or Distributions in respect of the Securities. Profits tax Hong Kong profits tax is charged on every person carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong in respect of assessable profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong from such trade, profession or business. Under the Inland Revenue Ordinance (Chapter 112 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the Inland Revenue Ordinance) as it is currently applied, Hong Kong profits tax may be charged on revenue profits arising on the sale, disposal or redemption of the Securities where such sale, disposal or redemption is or forms part of a trade, profession or business carried on in Hong Kong. 69

Distribution on the Securities will be subject to Hong Kong profits tax where such Distribution is received by or accrues to: (a) a financial institution (as defined in the Inland Revenue Ordinance) and arises through or from the carrying on by the financial institution of its business in Hong Kong; or (b) a corporation carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong where such Distribution is derived from Hong Kong; or (c) a person, other than a corporation, carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong where such Distribution is derived from Hong Kong and is in respect of the funds of that trade, profession or business. Stamp duty No Hong Kong stamp duty will be chargeable upon the issue or transfer of a Security. EU Savings Tax Directive The EU has adopted a Directive regarding the taxation of savings income. The Directive requires Member States to provide to the tax authorities of other Member States details of payments of interest and other similar income paid by a person to an individual or to certain other persons in another Member State, except that Austria and Luxembourg may instead impose a withholding system for a transitional period (subject to a procedure whereby, on meeting certain conditions, the beneficial owner of the interest or other income may request that no tax be withheld) unless during such period they elect otherwise. The European Commission has proposed certain amendments to the Directive, which may, if implemented, amend or broaden the scope of the requirements described above.

Notes to Interim Financial Statements


1. Basis of preparation
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard (HKAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The principal accounting policies used in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the financial statements for the year ended 31st December, 2010, except for the change described below. The Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants has issued a number of new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (HKFRSs). For those HKFRSs which are effective for accounting periods beginning on 1st January, 2011, the adoption has no significant impact on the Groups results and financial position. The Group and its listed associate, Hutchison Whampoa Limited (Hutchison), have also adopted HKAS 12 (Amendments) Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets, which will be effective for accounting periods beginning on 1st January, 2012, in the preparation of the interim financial statements. In prior years, deferred tax was provided on the basis that the carrying amounts of investment properties would be recovered through use. Following the adoption of HKAS 12 (Amendments), deferred tax is provided on the basis that the carrying amounts of the investment properties will be recovered through sale except that the basis of recovery through use will continue to apply to those investment properties which are depreciable and are held with an objective to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment properties over time, rather than through sale. This change in accounting policy has been applied retrospectively. The impact of the said change in accounting policy, and the Groups share of its impact on Hutchisons interim financial statements as well as Hutchisons restatement of its interim results for the comparative period following its adoption of a new accounting policy in the second half of 2010, have effects on the interim financial statements as follows: Six months ended 30th June 2011 2010 HK$ Million HK$ Million Increase in share of net profit of jointly controlled entities Increase/(decrease) in share of net profit of associates Decrease in taxation Increase in profit attributable to shareholders of the Company Increase in earnings per share 15 7 230 252 HK$0.11 234 (61) 247 420 HK$0.18

2. Principal Accounting Policies


(d) Jointly controlled entities

(continued)

A jointly controlled entity is an entity in which the Group has a long term equity interest and of which its financial and operating policies are under contractual arrangements jointly controlled by the Group and other parties. Investments in jointly controlled entities are carried in the consolidated financial statements at cost plus the Groups share of their post-acquisition results less dividends received and provision for impairment. Results of jointly controlled entities are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements to the extent of the Groups share of their comprehensive income calculated from their financial statements made up to 31st December.

(e) Associates
An associate is an entity, other than a subsidiary or a jointly controlled entity, in which the Group has a long term equity interest and has significant influence over its management. Investments in associates are carried in the consolidated financial statements at cost plus the Groups share of their post-acquisition results less dividends received and provision for impairment. Results of associates are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements to the extent of the Groups share of their comprehensive income calculated from their financial statements made up to 31st December and losses of associates in excess of the Groups interests in the associates are not recognised unless the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations.

(f)

Investments in securities
Investments which are not subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities or associates are classified as either investments held for trading or investments available for sale, and are stated at fair value. Purchases and sales of investments in securities are accounted for on a trade date basis. For investments held for trading, changes in fair value are included in income statement; and for investments available for sale, changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and transferred to income statement upon disposal. For equity securities available for sale where there are significant or prolonged declines in fair value below costs and for debt securities available for sale where there are observable evidences that the debt securities cannot be recovered in full, impairment is charged to income statement and is not reversible unless increase in fair value of the debt securities in a subsequent period can be objectively related to events occurring after the impairment is recognised.

(g) Fixed assets


Fixed assets, including hotel and serviced suite properties held for operation, are stated at cost less depreciation and provision for impairment. Leasehold land is amortised over the remaining term of the lease on a straight-line basis. Buildings are depreciated at annual rates of 2% to 4% on the costs of the respective buildings. Other fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis at annual rates of 5% to 331/3% based on their respective estimated useful lives.

(h) Investment properties

(continued)

Investment properties, which are held for rental, are stated at fair value. Investment properties under development are stated at fair value when their fair values become reliably determinable or upon completion of their construction, whichever is the earlier, otherwise at cost less provision for impairment. Changes in fair value are included in income statement.

(i)

Loan receivables
Loan receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments. Loan receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method less provision for impairment.

(j)

Stock of properties
Stock of properties are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined by reference to sale proceeds received after the year end date less selling expenses, or by management estimates based on prevailing market condition. Costs of properties include acquisition costs, development expenditure, interest and other direct costs attributable to such properties. The carrying values of properties held by subsidiaries are adjusted in the consolidated financial statements to reflect the Groups actual acquisition costs where appropriate.

(k) Debtors
Debtors are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost less provision for impairment.

(l)

Derivative financial instruments


Derivative financial instruments, which are used for investment and financial purposes, are stated at fair value. Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are included in income statement, together with any changes in fair value of the hedged assets or liabilities that are attributable to the hedged risk. Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised in income statement.

(m) Bank and other loans


Bank and other loans are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost.

(n) Creditors
Creditors are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost.

2. Principal Accounting Policies


(o) Revenue recognition

(continued)

When properties under development are sold, income is recognised when the property development is completed with the relevant occupation permit issued by the Authorities and the significant risks and rewards of the properties are passed to the purchasers. Payments received from purchasers prior to this stage are recorded as customers deposits received. Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Income from property and project management is recognised when services are rendered. Revenue from hotel and serviced suite operation is recognised upon provision of services. Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method; and dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is certain.

(p) Foreign exchange


Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the year end date. Transactions during the year are converted at the rates of exchange ruling at the transaction dates. Exchange differences are included in income statement. For translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates denominated in foreign currencies into presentation currency of the Company, assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the year end date and results are translated at the average rates of exchange during the year, and if the average rates are not reasonable approximations of the exchange rates at the transaction dates, then the exchange rates at the transaction dates are used. Exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

(q) Taxation
Hong Kong profits tax is provided for, using the enacted rate at the year end date, on the estimated assessable profits less available tax relief for losses brought forward of each individual company comprising the Group. Tax outside Hong Kong is provided for, using the local enacted rates at the year end date, on the estimated assessable profits of the individual company concerned. Deferred tax liabilities are provided in full, based on the applicable enacted rates, on all temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases, and deferred tax assets are recognised, based on the applicable enacted rates, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilised.

(r)

Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are charged to income statement in the year in which they are incurred unless they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition and development of properties which necessarily take a substantial period of time to complete.

In 2008, the Group entered into a transaction with a financial institution whereby, for a total consideration of $2.1 billion, certain equity securities listed outside Hong Kong held by the Group were transferred to the other party at an inception price together with put options exercisable at 200% of the inception price at the end of a three-year period. It is expected that the price of the transferred equity securities is not likely to rise above the 200% level of the inception price within the three-year period and the put options will be exercised. Hence, the Group remains exposed to the risk of price fluctuation of the transferred equity securities below the 200% level of the inception price. Therefore, the total consideration received has been accounted for as a loan and amortised at an annual rate of 2.7% approximately, and the transferred equity securities have remained as the Groups investments available for sale and included in note (13).

26. Employees Pension Schemes


The principal employees pension schemes operated by the Group, including the occupational retirement schemes and the mandatory provident fund schemes, are defined contribution schemes. For occupational retirement schemes, contributions are made by either the employer only or both the employer and the employees at rates ranging from approximately 5% to 10% of the employees salary. For mandatory provident fund schemes, contributions are made by both the employer and the employees at 5% each of the employees relevant monthly income which is capped at $20,000. During the year, the Groups costs incurred on employees pension schemes were $101 million (2009 $92 million) and forfeited contributions in the amount of $4 million (2009 $3 million) were used to reduce current years contributions.

27. Related Party Transactions


During the year and in the ordinary course of business, the Group undertook various joint venture projects with related parties, including the Chairman, Mr. Li Ka-shing, and Hutchison Whampoa Limited, on normal commercial terms. Advances were made to/received from and guarantees were provided for these joint venture projects on a pro rata basis. Advances made by the Group at the year end date were disclosed as amount due from associates and jointly controlled entities in notes (11) and (12). Guarantees provided by the Group for bank loans utilised by jointly controlled entities at the year end date were disclosed in note (25). Other than the aforementioned, there were no other significant related party transactions requiring disclosure in the financial statements.

28. Financial Risks and Management


Financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group include investments in securities, cash balances maintained for liquidity, loan and other receivables, bank and other loan borrowings, and derivative financial instruments for investment and financial purposes. The Groups treasury policies and how the management manages to mitigate the risks associated with these financial assets and financial liabilities are described below:

(a) Treasury policies


The Group maintains a conservative approach on foreign exchange exposure management. At the year end date, approximately 85.7% of the Groups borrowings were in HK$ with the balance in US$ and SGD, mainly for the purpose of financing projects outside Hong Kong. The Group derives its revenue mainly in HK$, cash balances and marketable securities are maintained mainly in HK$ or US$, and the Group ensures that its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates is minimised.

(a) Treasury policies (continued)

(continued)

The Groups borrowings are principally on a floating rate basis and where appropriate, swaps are arranged to convert the rates and related terms of the fixed rate bonds and notes issued to a floating rate basis. At times of interest rate or exchange rate uncertainty or volatility and when appropriate, hedging instruments including swaps and forwards are used by the Group in the management of exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

(b) Risk management


Loan receivables normally carry interest at rates with reference to banks lending rates and are secured by collaterals including charge on assets and guarantees. Trade debtors include mainly receivables arising from sale and lease of properties to the public. The Group has legal right to claim repossession of the properties in the event of default by purchasers/tenants. At the year end date, overdue loan receivables and trade debtors amounted to less than 1% of the Groups net assets and regular review and follow-up actions are carried out on the overdue amounts to minimise exposures to credit risk. Cash balances maintained for liquidity are placed with a number of major banks. Investments in securities and transactions involving derivative financial instruments are generally limited to issuers and counter-parties with sound credit. Investments in securities and derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market price, otherwise, with reference to professional valuations and/ or estimations that take into account assumptions and estimates on factors affecting the value of these financial instruments and change of such assumptions and estimates to reasonably possible alternatives would not have material effect on the Groups result for the year and financial position at the year end date. An analysis of these financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group based on the degree to which their fair values are observable and grouped into Levels 1 to 3 is as follows: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 : : : unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities value inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable either directly or indirectly value inputs that are not based on observable market data

The movement of Level 3 fair value measurement of equity securities available for sale during the year was as follows: 2010 $ Million Fair value at 1st January Purchases Impairment recognised in income statement as a charge to investment and other income Gain in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income Fair value at 31st December 106 32 (48) 3 93 2009 $ Million 61 40 5 106

The exposure to price changes is managed by closely monitoring the changes in market conditions that may have an impact on the market prices or factors affecting the value of these financial instruments. If the fair value of the investments in securities and derivative financial instruments was 5% higher/lower at the year end date, the Groups investment revaluation reserve would increase/ decrease by approximately $441 million (2009 $231 million) and the Groups profit for the year would increase/decrease by approximately $49 million (2009 $234 million). The Groups borrowings are subject to interest rate fluctuation. It is estimated that an increase/ decrease of 1% in interest rates would increase/decrease the Groups finance costs for the year by approximately $316 million (2009 $304 million), assuming the change in interest rates had been applied to the Groups bank and other loans at the year end date which were kept constant throughout the year, and the amount of finance costs capitalised would increase/decrease by approximately $119 million (2009 $161 million) based on the proportion of finance costs capitalised during the year.

(c) Liquidity management


The Group monitors its liquidity requirements on a short to medium term basis and arranges refinancing of the Groups borrowings when appropriate. With cash and marketable securities in hand as well as available banking facilities, the Groups liquidity position remains strong and the Group has sufficient financial resources to satisfy its commitments and working capital requirements. The contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments, after hedging where appropriate, computed at rates current at the year end date) of the Groups borrowings by contractual maturities at the year end date are as follows: 2010 $ Million Within 1 year After 1 year but not exceeding 2 years After 2 years but not exceeding 5 years After 5 years 15,455 10,503 10,039 2,016 38,013 2009 $ Million 9,402 13,012 11,501 1,164 35,079

29. Capital Management


The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising returns to the shareholders of the Company through the optimisation of debt and equity balance. The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in notes (17) and (19), bank balances and deposits and shareholders funds, comprising share capital, share premium and reserves as disclosed in the statement of financial position. The Group reviews its capital structure on a regular basis and maintains a low gearing ratio determined as the proportion of the Groups net borrowings (after deducting bank balances and deposits) to shareholders funds. The gearing ratio at the year end date is as follows: 2010 $ Million Bank and other loans Loan from joint development partner Total borrowings Less: Bank balances and deposits Net borrowings Shareholders funds Gearing ratio 35,154 2,000 37,154 (25,147) 12,007 265,696 4.5% 2009 $ Million 32,489 2,000 34,489 (11,423) 23,066 243,092 9.5%

Independent Auditors Report

TO THE MEMBERS OF CHEUNG KONG (HOLDINGS) LIMITED (incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability) We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Group) set out on pages 92 to 132, which comprise the consolidated and Company statements of financial position as at 31st December, 2009, and the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Directors responsibility for the consolidated financial statements


The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and the true and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and the true and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditors responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with section 141 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and true and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group as at 31st December, 2009 and of the Groups profit and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

Notes to Financial Statements


1. General Information
The Company is a limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong and its shares are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The address of the registered office and other corporate information are set out on page 140 of the annual report.

2. Principal Accounting Policies


(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Hong Kong and comply with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (HKFRSs). The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention except that investments in securities, investment properties and derivative financial instruments, as set out in notes 2(f), 2(h) and 2(l) respectively, are stated at fair values. The Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants has issued a number of new and revised HKFRSs. The adoption of the HKFRSs which are effective for accounting periods beginning on 1st January, 2009 has resulted in the following change in the Groups accounting policies. In prior years, investment property under development was classified as land and buildings and carried at cost less provision for impairment. Following the adoption of amendments to HKAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and HKAS 40 Investment Property, investment property under development is classified as investment property and stated at fair value when its fair value becomes reliably determinable or upon completion of its construction, whichever is the earlier. The change in accounting policy has been applied prospectively from 1st January, 2009 and has no material impact on the Groups results and financial position. The adoption of the HKFRSs has also resulted in changes in the presentation of the financial statements and certain comparative figures have been restated to conform with the current years presentation. During the year, Hutchison Whampoa Limited, a listed associate, had changes in accounting policies which have material effects on its profit attributable to shareholders and opening balance of shareholders funds. The Groups share of the effects of these changes has the following impact on the financial statements: Year ended 31st December 2009 $ Million Increase/(decrease) in share of net profit of associates Increase/(decrease) in profit attributable to shareholders Increase/(decrease) in earnings per share 479 479 $0.21 2008 $ Million (2,489) (2,489) $(1.07)

(b) Consolidation

(continued)

The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the Company and of all its direct and indirect subsidiaries made up to 31st December, and also incorporate the Groups interests in jointly controlled entities and associates on the basis set out in note (2)(d) and note (2)(e) respectively. Results of subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates acquired or disposed of during the year are included as from their effective dates of acquisition to the end of the year or up to the dates of disposal as the case may be. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries and associates is carried at cost and reviewed for impairment annually. Impairment, if any, is charged to income statement.

(c) Subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less provision for impairment where appropriate.

(d) Jointly controlled entities


A jointly controlled entity is an entity in which the Group has a long term equity interest and of which its financial and operating policies are under contractual arrangements jointly controlled by the Group and other parties. Investments in jointly controlled entities are carried in the consolidated financial statements at cost plus the Groups share of their post-acquisition results less dividends received and provision for impairment. Results of jointly controlled entities are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements to the extent of the Groups share of their comprehensive income calculated from their financial statements made up to 31st December.

(e) Associates
An associate is an entity, other than a subsidiary or a jointly controlled entity, in which the Group has a long term equity interest and has significant influence over its management. Investments in associates are carried in the consolidated financial statements at cost plus the Groups share of their post-acquisition results less dividends received and provision for impairment. Results of associates are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements to the extent of the Groups share of their comprehensive income calculated from their financial statements made up to 31st December and losses of associates in excess of the Groups interests in the associates are not recognised unless the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations.

(f) Investments in securities

(continued)

Investments which are not subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities or associates are classified as either investments held for trading or investments available for sale, and are stated at fair value. Purchases and sales of investments in securities are accounted for on a trade date basis. For investments held for trading, changes in fair value are included in income statement; and for investments available for sale, changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and transferred to income statement upon disposal. For equity securities available for sale where there are significant or prolonged declines in fair value below costs and for debt securities available for sale where there are observable evidences that the debt securities cannot be recovered in full, impairment is charged to income statement and is not reversible unless increase in fair value of the debt securities in a subsequent period can be objectively related to events occurring after the impairment is recognised.

(g) Fixed assets


Fixed assets, including hotel and serviced suite properties held for operation, are stated at cost less depreciation and provision for impairment. Leasehold land is amortised over the remaining term of the lease on a straight-line basis. Buildings are depreciated at annual rates of 2% to 4% on the costs of the respective buildings. Other fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis at annual rates of 5% to 331/3% based on their respective estimated useful lives.

(h) Investment properties


Investment properties, which are held for rental, are stated at fair value. Investment properties under development are stated at fair value when their fair values become reliably determinable or upon completion of their construction, whichever is the earlier, otherwise at cost less provision for impairment. Changes in fair value are included in income statement.

(i)

Loan receivables
Loan receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments. Loan receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method less provision for impairment.

(j)

Stock of properties
Stock of properties are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined by reference to sale proceeds received after the year end date less selling expenses, or by management estimates based on prevailing market condition. Costs of properties include acquisition costs, development expenditure, interest and other direct costs attributable to such properties. The carrying values of properties held by subsidiaries are adjusted in the consolidated financial statements to reflect the Groups actual acquisition costs where appropriate.

(k) Debtors

(continued)

Debtors are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost less provision for impairment.

(l)

Derivative financial instruments


Derivative financial instruments, which are used for investment and financial purposes, are stated at fair value. Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are included in income statement, together with any changes in fair value of the hedged assets or liabilities that are attributable to the hedged risk. Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised in income statement.

(m) Bank and other loans


Bank and other loans are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost.

(n) Creditors
Creditors are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost.

(o) Revenue recognition


When properties under development are sold, income is recognised when the property development is completed with the relevant occupation permit issued by the Authorities and the significant risks and rewards of the properties are passed to the purchasers. Payments received from purchasers prior to this stage are recorded as customers deposits received. Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Income from property and project management is recognised when services are rendered. Revenue from hotel and serviced suite operation is recognised upon provision of services. Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method; and dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is certain.

(p) Foreign exchange


Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the year end date. Transactions during the year are converted at the rates of exchange ruling at the transaction dates. Exchange differences are included in income statement. For translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates denominated in foreign currencies into presentation currency of the Company, assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the year end date and results are translated at the average rates of exchange during the year, and if the average rates are not reasonable approximations of the exchange rates at the transaction dates, then the exchange rates at the transaction dates are used. Exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and transferred to income statement upon disposal.

(q) Taxation

(continued)

Hong Kong profits tax is provided for, using the enacted rate at the year end date, on the estimated assessable profits less available tax relief for losses brought forward of each individual company comprising the Group. Overseas tax is provided for, using the local enacted rates at the year end date, on the estimated assessable profits of the individual company concerned. Deferred tax liabilities are provided in full, based on the applicable enacted rates, on all temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases, and deferred tax assets are recognised, based on the applicable enacted rates, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilised.

(r)

Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are charged to income statement in the year in which they are incurred unless they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition and development of properties which necessarily take a substantial period of time to complete.

3. Turnover and Contribution


The principal activities of the Group are property development and investment, hotel and serviced suite operation, property and project management and investment in securities. Turnover of Group activities comprises proceeds from property sales, gross rental income, revenue from hotel and serviced suite operation and income from property and project management. In addition, the Group also accounts for its proportionate share of proceeds from property sales of jointly controlled entities as turnover. Turnover of jointly controlled entities (save for proceeds from property sales shared by the Group) and turnover of listed and unlisted associates are not included. Turnover of the Group by operating activities for the year is as follows: 2009 $ Million Property sales Property rental Hotels and serviced suites Property and project management Group turnover Share of property sales of jointly controlled entities Turnover 14,922 1,155 1,399 226 17,702 6,591 24,293 2008 $ Million 10,309 945 1,383 219 12,856 3,580 16,436

In 2008, the Group entered into a transaction with a financial institution whereby, for a total consideration of $2.1 billion, certain overseas listed equity securities held by the Group were transferred to the other party at an inception price together with put options exercisable at 200% of the inception price at the end of a three-year period. It is expected that the price of the transferred equity securities is not likely to rise above the 200% level of the inception price within the three-year period and the put options will be exercised. Hence, the Group remains exposed to the risk of price fluctuation of the transferred equity securities below the 200% level of the inception price. Therefore, the total consideration received has been accounted for as a loan and amortised at an annual rate of 2.7% approximately, and the transferred equity securities have remained as the Groups investments available for sale and included in note (13).

26. Employees Pension Schemes


The principal employees pension schemes operated by the Group, including the occupational retirement schemes and the mandatory provident fund schemes, are defined contribution schemes. For occupational retirement schemes, contributions are made by either the employer only or both the employer and the employees at rates ranging from approximately 5% to 10% of the employees salary. For mandatory provident fund schemes, contributions are made by both the employer and the employees at 5% each of the employees relevant monthly income which is capped at $20,000. During the year, the Groups costs incurred on employees pension schemes were $92 million (2008 $85 million) and forfeited contributions in the amount of $3 million (2008 $4 million) were used to reduce current years contributions.

27. Related Party Transactions


During the year and in the ordinary course of business, the Group undertook various joint venture projects with related parties, including the Chairman, Mr. Li Ka-shing, and Hutchison Whampoa Limited, on normal commercial terms. Advances were made to/received from and guarantees were provided for these joint venture projects on a pro rata basis. Advances made by the Group at the year end date were disclosed as amount due from associates and jointly controlled entities in notes (11) and (12). Guarantees provided by the Group for bank loans utilised by jointly controlled entities at the year end date were disclosed in note (25). Other than the aforementioned, there were no other significant related party transactions requiring disclosure in the financial statements.

28. Financial Risks and Management


Financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group include investments in securities, cash balances maintained for liquidity, loan and other receivables, bank and other loan borrowings, and derivative financial instruments for investment and financial purposes. The Groups treasury policies and how the management manages to mitigate the risks associated with these financial assets and financial liabilities are described below:

(a) Treasury policies


The Group maintains a conservative approach on foreign exchange exposure management. At the year end date, approximately 81.7% of the Groups borrowings were in HK$ with the balance in US$ (or swapped into US$) and SGD mainly for the purpose of financing projects outside Hong Kong. The Group derives its revenue mainly in HK$, cash balances and marketable securities are maintained mainly in HK$ or US$, and the Group ensures that its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates is minimised. The Groups borrowings are principally on a floating rate basis. The fixed rate bonds and notes issued by the Group have associated swaps arrangements in place to convert the rates and related terms to a floating rate basis. When appropriate and at times of interest rate or exchange rate uncertainty or volatility, hedging instruments including swaps and forwards are used by the Group in the management of exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

28. Financial Risks and Management


(b) Risk management

(continued)

Loan receivables normally carry interest at rates with reference to banks lending rates and are secured by collaterals including charge on assets and guarantees. Trade debtors include mainly receivables arising from sale and lease of properties to the public. The Group has legal right to claim repossession of the properties in the event of default by purchasers/tenants. At the year end date, overdue loan receivables and trade debtors amounted to less than 1% of the Groups net assets and regular review and follow-up actions are carried out on the overdue amounts to minimise exposures to credit risk. Cash balances maintained for liquidity are placed with a number of major banks. Investments in securities and transactions involving derivative financial instruments are generally limited to issuers and counter-parties with sound credit. Investments in securities and derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market price, otherwise, with reference to professional valuations and/ or estimations that take into account assumptions and estimates on factors affecting the value of these financial instruments and change of such assumptions and estimates to reasonably possible alternatives would not have material effect on the Groups result for the year and financial position at the year end date. An analysis of these financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group based on the degree to which their fair values are observable and grouped into Levels 1 to 3 is as follows: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 : : : unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities value inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable either directly or indirectly value inputs that are not based on observable market data 31/12/2009 Total $ Million

(continued)

The movement of Level 3 fair value measurement of equity securities available for sale during the year was as follows: $ Million Fair value at 1st January, 2009 Purchases Gain in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income Fair value at 31st December, 2009 61 40 5 106

The exposure to price changes is managed by closely monitoring the changes in market conditions that may have an impact on the market prices or factors affecting the value of these financial instruments. If the fair value of the investments in securities and derivative financial instruments was 5% higher/lower at the year end date, the Groups investment revaluation reserve would increase/ decrease by approximately $231 million (2008 $210 million) and the Groups profit for the year would increase/decrease by approximately $234 million (2008 $109 million). The Groups borrowings are subject to interest rate fluctuation. It is estimated that an increase/ decrease of 1% in interest rates would increase/decrease the Groups finance costs for the year by approximately $304 million (2008 $382 million), assuming the change in interest rates had been applied to the Groups bank and other loans at the year end date which were kept constant throughout the year, and the amount of finance costs capitalised would increase/decrease by approximately $161 million (2008 $221 million) based on the proportion of finance costs capitalised during the year.

(c) Liquidity management
