INSIDE INFORMATION

RESULTS OF OUR CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDER,

LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.,

FORM 10-Q QUARTERLY REPORT FOR

THE FISCAL SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2018

This announcement is issued by Sands China Ltd. ("we" or our "Company") pursuant to Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance and Rule 13.09(2)(a) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in our 2017 Annual Report.

Results of LVS and Form 10-Q Quarterly Report

Our Company's controlling shareholder, Las Vegas Sands Corp. ("LVS"), is a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") in the United States. As at the date of this announcement, LVS beneficially owns approximately 70% of the issued share capital of our Company.

Reference is made to our announcement on July 26, 2018 in respect of the announcement by our controlling shareholder, LVS, of its financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

LVS files quarterly and annual reports, including quarterly and annual financial information and certain operating statistics under Form 8-K, Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, respectively, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), in accordance with the ongoing disclosure obligations applicable to a publicly traded NYSE-listed company. Such filings include segment financial information about the Macao operations of LVS, which Macao operations are owned by our Company, and the filings are available in the public domain.

LVS has, on or about July 26, 2018 (5:00 a.m. Hong Kong time), filed its quarterly report with the SEC under Form 10-Q for the fiscal second quarter ended June 30, 2018 (the "LVS Quarterly Report"). If you wish to review the LVS Quarterly Report prepared by LVS, which was filed with the SEC, please visithttps://investor.sands.com/financial-reports/SEC-Filings/SEC-Filings-Details/default.aspx?FilingId=12873941 orhttps://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1300514/000130051418000090/lvs-06302018x10q.htm.

The financial results of LVS and its consolidated subsidiaries, including those contained in the LVS Quarterly Report, have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles of the United States ("US GAAP"), which are different from the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") that we are subject to when preparing and presenting our stand-alone financial results and related financial information. However, following the substantial convergence of the IFRS and US GAAP accounting standards on revenue recognition with effect from January 1, 2018 onwards, the previous differences in the accounting treatment of revenue recognition between those two accounting frameworks applicable to the Company have been eliminated. Nevertheless, our shareholders and potential investors in our Company's ordinary shares should consult their own professional advisers for an understanding of the difference between IFRS and US GAAP.
