Exhibit 99.1

Block Admission Applications and Total Voting Rights

London: Wednesday, June 12, 2019: Hutchison China MediTech Limited (“Chi-Med”) (AIM/Nasdaq: HCM) today announces that the following applications have been made to the London Stock Exchange plc for the block admission of ordinary shares, par value of US$0.10 each (“Ordinary Shares”) to be admitted to trading on AIM:

(i) an application for a block admission of 2,067,910 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM to be issued from time to time pursuant to the exercise of share options under the Share Option Scheme conditionally adopted by Chi-Med in 2005 (the "2005 HCML Share Option Scheme").It is expected that such admission will become effective on June 17, 2019.

(ii) an application for a block admission of 23,130,970 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM to be issued from time to time pursuant to the exercise of share options under the Share Option Scheme conditionally adopted by Chi-Med in 2015 (the "2015 HCML Share Option Scheme"). It is expected that such admission will become effective on June 17, 2019.

When issued, these Ordinary Shares will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue.

The sole reason for the above block admission applications is to replace the Company's previous block admission schemes following the Company’s recent share subdivision which took effect on May 30, 2019.

As at the date of this announcement, the issued share capital of Chi-Med consists of 666,577,450 Ordinary Shares, with each share carrying one right to vote and with no shares held in treasury. This figure of 666,577,450 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they could determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Chi-Med under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. For illustrative purposes only, the 666,577,450 Ordinary Shares would be equivalent to 666,577,450 depositary interests (each equating to one Ordinary Share) which are traded on AIM or, if the depositary interests were converted in their entirety, equivalent to 133,315,490 ADSs (each equating to five Ordinary Shares) which are traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.
