HUTCHISON TELECOMMUNICATIONS (AUSTRALIA) LIMITED NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2019

Notes on Voting

Proxies

If you cannot or do not wish to attend the Annual General Meeting, you may appoint a proxy to attend and vote for you. The appointment may specify the proportion or number of your votes that the proxy may exercise. The proxy does not need to be a shareholder. If you are entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the meeting, you may appoint up to 2 proxies. If you appoint 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of your votes the proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

To ensure that all shareholders can exercise their right to vote on the resolutions, a proxy form is enclosed together with a reply paid envelope. You can lodge the proxy form

by sending it in the reply paid envelope or otherwise posting, delivering or faxing it to HTAL's Share Registry (see below). The proxy form tells you what you need to do.

If you return your proxy form but do not nominate a representative, the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting will be your proxy and will vote on your behalf as you direct on the proxy form.

If your nominated representative does not attend the Annual General Meeting, then your proxy will default to the Chairman who will vote as directed on the proxy form.

If your nominated representative (other than the Chairman) is given voting instructions, the Chairman must cast on a poll those proxy votes on your behalf if your nominated representative does not do so.

Any undirected proxies in favour of or defaulting to the Chairman may be voted by the Chairman as he thinks fit (and will be voted by the Chairman in favour of each resolution).

You should note that if the Chairman is appointed, or taken to be appointed, as your proxy, you can direct the Chairman to vote for or against, or to abstain from voting on, Resolution 3 (Remuneration Report) by marking the relevant box opposite Resolution 3. However, if the Chairman is a proxy and you do not mark any of the boxes opposite Resolution 3, you will be expressly authorising the Chairman to vote in favour of Resolution 3, even though Resolution 3 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of HTAL.

If you appoint a Director (other than the Chairman), other member of the Key Management Personnel of HTAL or their closely related parties as your proxy, you must specify how they should vote on Resolution 3 by completing the "For", "Against" or "Abstain" boxes on the proxy form. If you do not do that, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote on your behalf on Resolution 3.

When

The proxy form (along with any power of attorney or certified copy of the power of attorney under which it is signed) must be received by HTAL's Share Registry, Link Market Services Limited, by no later than

10.00am (Sydney time) on Tuesday, 30 April 2019. Any proxy form lodged after that time will be treated as invalid.

mailed to Hutchison Telecommunications (Australia) Limited c/- Link Market Services Limited at Locked Bag A14, Sydney South, NSW 1235, Australia in the enclosed reply-paid envelope; or

Entitlement to vote deadline

30 April 2019 (the Meeting Record Date) will be treated as shareholders. This means that if you are not the registered holder of a share at that time you will not be entitled to vote in respect of that share.

The vote on the resolutions will be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is demanded.

On a show of hands, every shareholder who is present in person or by proxy, or by representative or by attorney, will have one vote. Upon a poll, every shareholder who is present in person or by proxy, or by representative or by attorney, will have one vote for each share held by that shareholder.

If your shares are jointly held, only one of the joint holders is entitled to vote. If more than one shareholder votes in respect of jointly held shares, only the vote of the shareholder whose name appears first in the register will be counted.

Requirements with regard to letters of representation for corporate shareholders

In order to vote at the Annual General Meeting (other than by proxy), a corporation that is a shareholder must appoint a person to act as its representative. The appointment must comply with section 250D of the Corporations Act 2001. The representative must bring to the Annual General Meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it was signed.

Submission of written questions to HTAL or Auditor

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, a reasonable opportunity will be given to shareholders - as a whole - to ask questions about or to make comments on HTAL's management or its Remuneration Report at the meeting. Similarly, a reasonable opportunity will be given to shareholders - as a whole - to ask HTAL's external auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, questions relevant to:

5.00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 24 April 2019. Where appropriate, a list of those relevant questions will be made available to shareholders attending the Annual General Meeting. HTAL or PricewaterhouseCoopers will either answer these questions at the Annual General Meeting, or table written answers to them at the Annual General Meeting. Any written answers will be made available to shareholders as soon as practicable after the Annual General Meeting.
