SCL-T/C-20111208-00032 E Reach Global Networks Limited Transfer of Control Grant of Authority Date of Action: 02/08/2012 Current Licensee: Reach Global Networks Limited FROM: PCCW Limited TO: PCCW Limited Notification filed December 8, 2011, of the pro forma transfer of control of the interest in the Japan-U.S. cable, SCL-LIC-19981117-00025, held by Reach Global Networks Limited (RGNL), from HKT Limited (HKT) to the HKT Trust, effective November 24, 2011. RGNL holds a 13.849206% ownership and voting interest in the Japan-U.S. cable. RGNL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reach Ltd. (Reach). PCCW and Telstra Corporation Limited (Telstra) each hold a 50% indirect ownership interest in Reach. Telstra's interests in Reach are not affected by PCCW's corporate reorganization. On November 24, 2011, the ordinary share capital of HKT was transferred to HKT Management Limited in its capacity as the trustee and manger for the HKT Trust. As result HKT is directly held by the HKT Trust, which is managed by HKT Management Limited. At that time both the HKT Trust and HKT Management Limited were wholly-owned by CAS Holding No. 1 Limited (CAS), which in turn is wholly-owned by PCCW. On November 29, 2011, PCCW undertook a public offering of certain share stapled units of the HKT Trust, which resulted in CAS having an approximate 68% controlling interest in the HKT Trust. The remaining ownership interests in the HKT Trust are publicly held. Page 2 of 2
