Notice of Postponement of Annual General Meeting

Change of Dates for Closure of Register of Members

On 7th April 2020, notice (the “ AGM Notice ”) was given that the annual general meeting (the “ AGM ”) of Swire Properties Limited (the “ Company ”) would take place at Ballroom, Level 5, Island Shangri-La Hong Kong, Pacific Place, Supreme Court Road, Central, Hong Kong on Tuesday, 12th May 2020 at 10:00 a.m.

NOTICE is hereby given that, in accordance with article 63A of the articles of association of the Company (the “ Relevant Article ”), the AGM will be postponed to a date falling on or before 30th June 2020. 30th June 2020 is the last date by which, in accordance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, the AGM must be held. A further notice will be given of the date, time and place of the rearranged AGM.

In accordance with the Relevant Article, any appointment of a proxy will be valid if received not less than 48 hours before the revised time for holding the AGM.

The Relevant Article provides that, if the board of the Company (the “ Board ”) considers that it is impracticable or undesirable for any reason to hold a general meeting on the date or at the time or place specified in the notice calling the general meeting, it may postpone or move the general meeting to another date, time and/or place.

Given the changes in social distancing rules relating to the holding of annual general meetings in Hong Kong which take effect on 8th May 2020 and apply until 21st May 2020, the Board considers that it is undesirable to hold the AGM on the date specified in the AGM notice.

As the AGM is being postponed, the dates on which the register of members are closed in order to determine eligibility to attend the AGM will also be postponed. The original dates were 7th May 2020 to 12th May 2020. Registration of transfers will resume on 11th May 2020. The revised dates on which the register of members will be closed will be announced with the revised date of the AGM.
