NOTICE OF BOOKS CLOSURE & 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 27 July 2017 for the purpose of determining each unitholder's entitlement to HPH Trust's distribution of 9.50 Hong Kong cents per unit in HPH Trust ("Distribution") for the period from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017.

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 27 July 2017 will be entitled to the Distribution to be paid on or about 14 September 2017.

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" by 5.00 p.m. on 16 August 2017. 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 2 August 2017.

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) by 5.00 p.m. on 16 August 2017. No action is needed for unitholders who wish to receive the Distribution in Singapore dollars.
