ANNOUNCEMENT ON ADJUSTMENTS OF
PUBLIC TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
INTERCONNECTION SETTLEMENT STANDARDS
This announcement is made by China Mobile Limited (the “Company”) pursuant to Rule 13.09 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
The Board of Directors of the Company announces that its parent company, China Mobile Communications Corporation, received a notification issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (the “MIIT”) that the MIIT has decided to adjust the public telecommunications network interconnection settlement standards of basic telecommunications operators in Mainland China. With effect from 1 January 2014, when mobile users of China Telecommunications Corporation (“China Telecom”) and China United Network Communications Group Company Limited (“China Unicom”) in Mainland China and mobile users of the Company in Mainland China (excluding TD-SCDMA users with specified prefix numbers of 157 and 188) make phone calls to each other, the settlement charges payable by China Telecom and China Unicom to the Company will be adjusted from RMB0.06/minute to RMB0.04/minute, while the settlement charges payable by the Company to China Telecom and China Unicom remain at RMB0.06/minute. The MIIT will assess the above interconnection settlement policy once every two years based on the development conditions of the telecommunications market and will make adjustments when appropriate. The interconnection settlement policies for TD-SCDMA remain unchanged, meaning that when mobile users of China Telecom and China Unicom in Mainland China and TD-SCDMA users of the Company with specified prefix numbers of 157 and 188 make phone calls to each other, the settlement charges payable by China Telecom and China Unicom to the Company are RMB0.06/minute, and the settlement charges payable by the Company to China Telecom and China Unicom are RMB0.012/minute. When users of different basic telecommunications operators in Mainland China send SMS or MMS to each other, the settlement charges for SMS will be adjusted from RMB0.03/message to RMB0.01/message, and the settlement charges for MMS will be adjusted from RMB0.10/message to RMB0.05/message.
A-1
Based on the Company’s actual volumes of inter-mobile network voice usage, SMS and MMS for the first half of 2013, and assuming that the above adjustments of the interconnection settlement standards had taken effect on 1 January 2013, the Company estimates that the above adjustments would have resulted in a reduction in the interconnection revenue of the Company by approximately RMB4.31 billion and a reduction in the interconnection charges by approximately RMB0.84 billion for the first half of 2013.
In the meantime, investors are advised to exercise caution in dealing in the securities of the Company.
