(Hong Kong, 2 March 2013) A spokesperson for Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited and Hutchison Whampoa Limited (collectively "the Group") categorically denies a report from Apple Daily today that former Chief Secretary for Administration Mr Rafael Hui Si-yan has ever "worked" or provided any service for the Group or Chairman Mr Li Ka-shing. The entire report is a sheer fabrication and misleads the public.

The Group or the Chairman himself has never engaged Mr Hui in any capacity to work or provide service for him or the Group while Mr Hui was with the Government or after he had left the Government.

It is the responsibility of the media to provide accurate and fair reports. Any misleading or defamatory report with malice will distort the true and fair view.

The said report has seriously damaged the reputation of the Group. The Group and Mr Li reserve the rights to pursue legal remedies in respect of the irresponsible, baseless and misleading report.
