EXPLANATORY NOTE

On April 27, 2020, the shareholders of Hutchison China MediTech Limited (the “Company”) approved by special resolution the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company (the “New Memorandum and Articles”) in substitution of the existing memorandum and articles of association of the Company. To make it easier for shareholders to participate in future general meetings, the New Memorandum and Articles permit the Company to convene “hybrid” general meetings where shareholders have the option to attend and participate either in person (in a main location or in specified satellite locations) or virtually by electronic means. The New Memorandum and Articles also incorporate minor updates to reflect legislative changes and clerical amendments.

This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 3, 2020 (the “2019 Form 20-F”), is being filed solely to add and file a complete copy of the New Memorandum and Articles as Exhibit 1.2, a description of the Company’s ordinary shares as Exhibit 2.4, a description of the Company’s American depositary shares as Exhibit 2.5, amend the exhibit index accordingly and update the certifications of the executive officers as of the date of this Amendment No. 1 in accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

This Amendment No. 1 speaks as of the filing date of the 2019 Form 20-F. Other than as set forth above, this Amendment No. 1 does not, and does not purport to, amend, update or restate any other information or disclosure included in the 2019 Form 20-F or reflect any events that have occurred since the filing date of the 2019 Form 20-F.
