NOTICE OF RECORD DATE & DISTRIBUTION PAYMENT DATE

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Transfer Books and Register of Unitholders of Hutchison Port Holdings Trust ("HPH Trust") will be closed at 5.00 p.m. on 5 August 2020 for the purpose of determining each unitholder's entitlement to HPH Trust's distribution of 4.30 Hong Kong cents per unit in HPH Trust ("Distribution") for the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020.

Registered unitholders (other than The Central Depository (Pte) Limited ("CDP")), and unitholders whose securities accounts with CDP are credited with such units, as at 5.00 p.m. on 5 August 2020 will be entitled to the Distribution to be paid on or about 25 September 2020.

SINGAPORE INCOME TAX ON HPH TRUST'S DISTRIBUTION

All unitholders are exempted from Singapore income tax on the distributions made by HPH Trust regardless of whether they are corporate unitholders or individuals.

CURRENCY ELECTION PURPOSES

Registered unitholders (other than CDP) and unitholders whose units are held directly through CDP will receive their Distribution in the Singapore dollar equivalent of the Hong Kong dollar Distribution declared, unless unitholders elect to receive the Distribution in Hong Kong dollars or US dollars by submitting a "Currency Election Notice" or by electronic submission through the SGX-SFG Service for Depository Agents, by 5.00 p.m. on 26 August 2020. For the Distribution to be paid in Singapore dollars or US dollars, the Trustee-Manager will make the necessary arrangements to convert the Distribution from Hong Kong dollars into Singapore dollars or US dollars (taking into account the cost of exchange) at the prevailing market exchange rate. Neither CDP, the Trustee-Manager nor HPH Trust will be liable for any loss howsoever arising from the conversion of the Distribution payable to each unitholder from Hong Kong dollars into Singapore dollars and US dollars. Save for approved depository agents (acting as nominees of their individual customers), each unitholder may elect to receive the Distribution in either Hong Kong dollars, Singapore dollars or US dollars and shall not be able to elect to receive the Distribution in a combination of Hong Kong dollars, Singapore dollars and/or US dollars.

The Currency Election Notice will be sent out by HPH Trust's Unit Registrar, Boardroom Corporate & Advisory Services Pte. Ltd., on or about 12 August 2020.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Unitholders who wish to receive the Distribution in Hong Kong dollars or US dollars must complete and return the Currency Election Notice to the Unit Registrar or CDP (as indicated on the Currency Election Notice), or in the case of Depository Agents, submit their election via electronic submission, by 5.00 p.m. on 26 August 2020. No action is needed for unitholders who wish to receive the Distribution in Singapore dollars.
