The Board announces that in light of the recent market conditions and feedback from investors, it intends to tap the market  for the purpose of financing the recommended acquisition for cash of the entire issued ordinary share capital of LMEH as announced on 15 June 2012,  by launching an issue of  convertible  bonds in the principal amount  of US$400 million with a fixed rate coupon.   

As completion of the acquisition and the proposed issue of convertible bonds are still subject to conditions, potential investors and HKEx’s shareholders should exercise caution when investing or dealing in HKEx’s shares.
