<remarks>Following repurchases and cancellation of common shares by the Issuer since January 1, 2024, the ownership interest of Hutchison Whampoa Europe Investments S.a r.l. ('HWEI'), a wholly owned subsidiary of CK Hutchison Holdings Limited, has increased by 0.45 percent. HWEI proposes to dispose of common shares equal to 0.45 percent so that its ownership interest remains at 16.93 percent, which is the level before the repurchases and cancellation. HWEI does not sell shares under the Issuer's normal course issuer bid buy back programs for technical reasons of efficiency.</remarks>
