Notice of Revised Effective Date of the Custody Fee for Hong Kong Securities

Dear Valued Client,

By our notice titled "Notice of Service Fee Adjustment" dated 28 October 2026, we notified you that, in light of the implementation of the Uncertificated Securities Market ("USM") regime in Hong Kong, our Company would charge a Custody Fee for Hong Kong securities at an annualised rate of 0.005% with effect from 16 November 2026.

In accordance with the transitional arrangement announced by Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited ("HKSCC"), HKSCC's new stock custody fee will take effect from 1 December 2026, and the stock custody fee for the period from 16 to 30 November 2026 will be waived. For details, please refer to the HKSCC circular "(IMPORTANT) Modernisation HKSCC Fee for Depository Services under Uncertificated Securities Market ("USM")" dated 9 November 2026 (Ref.

Accordingly, the effective date of our Company's Custody Fee for Hong Kong securities will be revised as follows:

All other arrangements of the Custody Fee for Hong Kong securities remain unchanged, including that it is charged only on "Prescribed Securities" and its calculation method. Other fee items for Hong Kong securities will continue to take effect from 16 November 2026 as previously announced, namely the Stock Withdrawal Fee, Transactional Dematerialisation Fee, Transfer and Registration Fee, and the cancellation of the Scrip Fee.

When will the scrip fee be removed?

The scrip fee will be fully removed with effect from the implementation date of USM (i.e. 16 November 2026). However, corporate actions with a Last Registration Date (LRD) on or before 13 November 2026 will remain subject to the scrip fee.
