On November 7, 2011, PCCH transferred its ownership interests in REACH to a new holding company, HKT." HKT is a company that was formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands and that is ultimately controlled by PCCW. As such, the transfer of control of REACH from PCCH to HKT was a pro forma transaction under the Commission‘s Rules. Transfer ofcontrol ofREACH due to the transfer ofcontrol ofHKT. On November 24, 2011, the ordinary share capital of HKT was transferred to HKT Management Limited in its capacity as the trustee and manager for the HKT Trust, an investment holding company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. HKT Management Limited, a Hong Kong limited liability company, is in turn a direct wholly—owned subsidiary of CAS Holding No. 1 Limited ("CAS Holding"), a British Virgin Islands limited liability company which in turn is a wholly—owned subsidiary of PCCW. This reorganization did not change the beneficial ownership, ultimate control or management of REACH. Accordingly, this transfer of control was also pro forma. Subsequent to this reorganization, on November 29, 2011, PCCW undertook a public offering of certain share—stapled units of the HKT Trust. As a result of the offering, CAS Holding directly (and PCCW indirectly) holds an approximate 68 percent controlling ownership interest in the HKT Trust. As a result of additional distributions to be made to the existing PCCW shareholders and assuming the over—allotment option granted to the international underwriters of the public offering is exercised in full, the ownership interests of CAS Holding in the HKT Trust may be reduced to a controlling 59.9 percent. The remaining ownership interests of the HKT Trust are publicly held. No other person or entity holds a 10 percent or greater ownership interest in the HKT Trust. Information regarding RGNL and its ownership following this transaction is provided below. As appropriate, RGNL requests a waiver of the requirement that the holder of a cable landing license notify the FCC of a pro forma transaction within 30 days after the transaction is consummated. RGNL‘s failure to file this notification within the specified timeframe was due to the complexity of the transactions and the need to coordinate this filing with the related filings of PCCW. RGNL apologizes for any inconvenience resulting from its failure to file this notification in a timely manner. DCO1/GRIFJ/463924.3
