VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT
ESTABLISHMENT OF MEDIUM TERM NOTE PROGRAMME
This is a voluntary announcement made by the Company.
ESTABLISHMENT OF MEDIUM TERM NOTE PROGRAMME BY THE COMPANY
The Board is pleased to announce that on November 30, 2016, the Company has established the Programme under which it may offer and issue Notes in tranches of an aggregate principal amount of up to US$3,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) to professional investors (as defined under the SFO) as described in the offering circular dated November 30, 2016. Under the Programme, the Company may from time to time issue the Notes, which may be denominated in any currency subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives. There will be no public offering of the Notes in Hong Kong, the United States or any other jurisdiction.
The Company has appointed Citigroup as the Arranger and BNP Paribas, Citigroup and DBS as the Dealers under the Programme.
LISTING
Listing approval has been obtained by the Company from the Stock Exchange for listing of the Programme by way of debt issues to professional investors (as defined under the SFO) on the Stock Exchange. An announcement will be made by the Company for the listing of the
Programme on the Stock Exchange. In relation to any issue of the Notes, the Company has the option to agree with the relevant Dealer(s) to list the relevant Notes on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange.
PROPOSED USE OF NET PROCEEDS
The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from the issue of each tranche of the Notes under the Programme for working capital and general corporate purposes. If, in respect of any particular issue of the Notes, there is a particular identified use of proceeds, it will be stated in the applicable Pricing Supplement.
BENEFITS OF ESTABLISHING THE PROGRAMME
The Board considers that the Programme provides a platform to enhance its flexibility and efficiency for future funding or capital management. It is designed to allow Notes to be drawn down from time to time and the Company has no current intention to draw down the entire amount of the Programme. The principal amount and timing of drawdown(s) of Notes under the Programme are dependent on several factors, including but not limited to, market conditions and the funding needs of the Company.
GENERAL
As the Company may or may not proceed with drawdown(s) under the Programme, the timing of the drawdown(s) (if any) is uncertain as it depends on market conditions and the funding needs of the Company, and the terms of each drawdown may vary, Shareholders and prospective investors of the Company are reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.
