TERMINATION OF REPORTING OBLIGATIONS UNDER

THE U.S. SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT

The board of directors (the "Board") of Sands China Ltd. (the "Company") hereby announces the Company will voluntarily file a Form 15F (the "Form 15F") with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to terminate (the "Termination") its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") with respect to the Company's US$1,695,850,000 4.600% Senior Notes due 2023 (note stock code: 5725), US$1,786,475,000 5.125% Senior Notes due 2025 (note stock code: 5727) and US$1,892,760,000 5.400% Senior Notes due 2028 (note stock code: 5733), all of which (together, the "Relevant Notes") were previously issued in a transaction registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933.

Upon the filing of the Form 15F, the Company's reporting obligations under the Exchange Act will be immediately suspended pursuant to the rules of the SEC. Subject to any objection from the SEC, the Termination will become effective 90 days after the filing of the Form 15F with the SEC, or within such shorter period as the SEC may determine.

The Termination is sought in light of the administrative and financial cost of complying with the Company's reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. The Company believes that the Termination is in the best interests of its shareholders.

The Relevant Notes will continue to be listed on the The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited after the Termination. The Company will continue to comply with its reporting obligations under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
