CURRENCY OF PRESENTATION AND CERTAIN DEFINITIONS
"Hutchison" means Hutchison Whampoa Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong with
limited liability, and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires, and references in
Hutchison's consolidated financial statements to the "Group" are to Hutchison and all of its direct and
indirect subsidiaries and also includes Hutchison's interest in associated companies and joint ventures
on the basis set forth in Notes 1C, 1D and 1E, respectively, to the consolidated financial statements of
Hutchison. See "Consolidated Financial Statements of Hutchison". Certain of Hutchison's subsidiaries

People's Republic of China, "Mainland" means the People's Republic of China excluding Hong Kong,
Macau and Taiwan and "Hong Kong" means the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the
People's Republic of China.
Hutchison publishes its financial statements in Hong Kong dollars ("HK$"). For the convenience of
the reader, this listing circular presents translations into US dollars ("US$") of certain Hong Kong dollar
amounts at the rate of HK$7.80 = US$1.00. No representation is made that Hong Kong dollars have
been, could have been, or could be, converted into US dollars at the rate indicated or at any other rate.
On November 18, 2003, the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in foreign currencies,
as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Noon Buying Rate"),
was HK$7.76 = US$1.00. This listing circular also includes certain Pound Sterling ("£"), Euro ("C

As used in this listing circular, "EBIT" is defined as earnings, including profit on disposal of
investments and provisions, before interest expense, other finance costs, taxation and minority
interests. Hutchison presents EBIT in certain tables and discussions in this listing circular in addition to
other financial information because it believes EBIT is a widely accepted financial performance
indicator. EBIT should not be considered by an investor as an alternative to profit attributable to
shareholders or cash flow data prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Hutchison's calculation of EBIT may differ from similar titled computations of other companies.
"EBITDA" is defined as earnings, including profit on disposal of investments and provisions, before
interest expense, other finance costs, taxation, depreciation and amortization and minority interests,
excluding the non-cash portion of profit on disposal of investments and provisions. Hutchison presents
EBITDA in certain tables in this listing circular in addition to other financial information because it
believes EBITDA is a widely accepted financial performance indicator. EBITDA should not be
considered by an investor as an alternative to profit attributable to shareholders or cash flow data
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Hutchison's calculation of
EBITDA differs from its calculation of EBIT and may differ from similarly titled computations of other

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
The Issuer is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and Hutchison is incorporated in Hong Kong. All
or a substantial portion of the assets of the Issuer and the Guarantor are located outside the US. In
addition, none of the directors and executive officers of the Issuer and the Guarantor are, and certain
of the experts named herein are not, residents of the US, and all or a substantial portion of the assets
of such persons may be located outside the US. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect
service of process within the US upon such persons, the Issuer or the Guarantor, or to enforce against
them judgments obtained in US courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal
securities laws of the US. The Issuer has been advised by its Cayman Islands counsel, Maples and
Calder Asia, that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments
v


obtained in Hong Kong, England or New York, the courts of the Cayman Islands will, based on the
principle that a judgment by a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation
to pay the sum for which judgment has been given, recognize as the basis for a claim at common law
in the Cayman Islands a foreign judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction if such judgment is final,
for a liquidated sum not in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, is not inconsistent with a Cayman Islands
judgment in respect of the same matters and was not obtained in a manner, and is not of a kind the
enforcement of which is, contrary to the public policy of the Cayman Islands. There is doubt, however,
as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands will (i) recognize or enforce judgments of United States
courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state
thereof, or (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, impose liabilities based upon the civil
liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof, on the grounds that
such provisions are penal in nature. Additionally, a Cayman Islands' court may stay proceedings if
concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.
The Guarantor has been advised by its Hong Kong counsel, Woo, Kwan, Lee & Lo, that there is
no treaty between Hong Kong and the United States providing for reciprocal enforcement of judgments.
