Discount Programme For Mainland Users Of HKEx's Real-Time Trading Information To Remain Unchanged Until 2010 Year-End

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEx) has reviewed the planned fee adjustments mentioned in its 26 September 2008 news release and decided not to increase the monthly fees under its Mainland China Discount Programme with effect from 1 January 2010 due to the changes in the market environment since the plan was formulated and recent feedback from the market.

As a result, the monthly fees of $80 (retail clients)/$120 (corporate clients) for the Mainland China Discount Programme will remain unchanged until the end of 2010.

A futures data package without price depth will continue to be offered together with the securities information package free of charge under the discount programme. The maximum regular monthly subscription fee for the futures package is $25 per device.
