Ordinance)
ANNOUNCEMENT
The Company has been advised by Minister Wu Jichuan of the MII that it is
expected that it would not be possible to submit any implementation plans for
mobile communications tariff adjustment (including the implementation of the
calling-party-pay system) to the State Council for approval this year and next
year.
The announcement is made at the request of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong
Limited.
The board of directors (the "Board") of China Mobile (Hong Kong) Limited (the
"Company") notes the increase in the price of the shares of the Company today
and reference is made to the teletext announcement issued by the Company earlier
today. The Board announces that the Company has been advised by Minister Wu
Jichuan of the Ministry of Information Industry of the People's Republic of
China ("PRC") today that it is expected that it would not be possible to submit
any implementation plans for mobile communications tariff adjustment (including
the implementation of the calling-party-pay system) to the State Council for
approval this year and next year. Furthermore, the Board also wishes to
reiterate the statements of Minister Wu that adjustment to telecommunications
tariff is a matter of interest to the public and other parties and hence it is
necessary to conduct public hearings as required by relevant regulations. In
addition, it is technically complicated to change billing systems and sufficient
time must be allowed for its preparation. The relevant government authorities in
the PRC will continue to be prudent on this issue.
The Board also confirms that save as disclosed above, there are no negotiations
or agreements relating to intended acquisitions or realisations which are
discloseable under paragraph 3 of the Listing Agreement, neither is the Board
aware of any matter discloseable under the general obligation imposed by
paragraph 2 of the Listing Agreement, which is or may be of a price-sensitive
nature.
Made by the order of the Company the Board of the directors of which
individually and jointly accept responsibility for the accuracy of this
announcement.
