Chi-Med Announces Secondary Offering of American Depositary Shares

London: June 27, 2019: Hutchison China MediTech Limited (“Chi-Med”) (AIM/Nasdaq: HCM) announces that Hutchison Healthcare Holdings Limited (“HHHL”), the largest shareholder of Chi-Med and a subsidiary of CK Hutchison Holdings Limited (SEHK: 1), intends to offer 8,500,000 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing five ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”), par value US$0.10 each of Chi-Med (“Offering”).

HHHL has granted the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,275,000 additional ADSs at the Offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. Assuming the over-allotment option is not exercised, HHHL will own approximately 53.8% of Chi-Med’s share capital immediately following the Offering. Assuming full exercise of the over-allotment option, HHHL will own approximately 52.8% of Chi-Med’s share capital immediately following the Offering.

HHHL will receive all of the proceeds from the Offering. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is acting as sole underwriter for the Offering.

The ADSs described above are being offered by HHHL pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 filed by Chi-Med with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that became automatically effective on April 3, 2017. A preliminary prospectus supplement related to the Offering will be filed with the SEC and will be available on the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov. When available, electronic copies of the preliminary prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to the Offering may be obtained from Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Attention: Prospectus Department, 180 Varick Street, 2nd Floor, New York, New York 10014.

In connection with the Offering, Chi-Med, its officers and directors and the selling shareholder have agreed to a 90-day lock-up on sales or transfers of Ordinary Shares, ADSs or equity-linked securities. Chi-Med remains committed to its previously announced proposed listing of its Shares on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (“SEHK”) and a potential concurrent global offering of its Ordinary Shares which Chi-Med may pursue following the expiration of such lock-up period. Chi-Med’s listing application and potential concurrent global offering are subject to, among other things, the final approval of the SEHK, the final decision of the Chi-Med board of directors, market conditions and other factors. Accordingly, Chi-Med’s shareholders and potential investors should be aware that there is no assurance that the listing and the potential concurrent global offering will take place or as to when it may take place. Chi-Med will provide a further update on the timing as appropriate.

No money, securities or other consideration is being solicited, and, if sent in response to the information contained in this announcement, will not be accepted.

This communication, in so far as it constitutes an invitation or inducement to enter into investment activity (within the meaning of s21 Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 as amended) in connection with the securities which are the subject of the Offering described in this announcement or otherwise, is being directed only at persons who (i) are outside the United Kingdom or (ii) have professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within Article 19(5) (investment professionals) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (the “Order”) or (iii) are persons falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) (high net worth companies, unincorporated associations etc.) of the Order; or (iv) are persons to whom an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000) in connection with the issue or sale of any securities may otherwise lawfully be communicated or caused to be communicated (all such persons in (i) to (iv) together being referred to as “relevant persons”). This announcement is directed only at relevant persons and must not be acted on or relied on by persons who are not relevant persons. Any investment or investment activity to which this announcement relates is available only to relevant persons and will be engaged in only with relevant persons.

In connection with the Offering, the underwriter or its affiliates may conduct stabilization activities with respect to the ADSs on Nasdaq, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, to support the market price of the ADSs at a higher level than that which might otherwise prevail in the open market, in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including Regulation M under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These activities may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases of ordinary shares or ADSs to cover positions created by short sales. Any stabilization action may begin on the date of adequate public disclosure of the final price of the ADSs to be sold pursuant to the Offering and, if begun, may be ended at any time but must end no later than 30 calendar days thereafter (the “Stabilization Period”). However, there is no obligation on the underwriter (or any person acting for it) to conduct any such stabilizing activities, and the stabilization activities may be discontinued at any time.

In connection with the Offering, the underwriter may, for stabilization purposes, over-allocate ADSs up to a maximum of 15% of the total number of ADSs comprised in the Offering. For the purposes of allowing it to cover short positions resulting from any such over-allotments and/or from sales of ADSs effected by it during the Stabilization Period, the underwriter has entered into over-allotment arrangements pursuant to which the underwriter may purchase or procure purchasers for additional ADSs up to a maximum of 15% of the total number of ADSs comprised in the Offering (the “Over-allotment ADSs”) at the Offering price. The over-allotment arrangements will be exercisable in whole or in part, upon notice by the underwriter, at any time on or before the 30th calendar day after pricing. Any Over-allotment ADSs made available pursuant to the over-allotment arrangements will be sold on the same terms and conditions as the ADSs being offered pursuant to the Offering and will rank pari passu in all respects with, and form a single class with, the other ADSs.
