ANNOUNCEMENT RELATING TO INVESTIGATION BY THE STATE ADMINISTRATION FOR MARKET REGULATION OF THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

 

This announcement is made by China Mobile Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) on a voluntary basis.

 

The Company wishes to inform its shareholders that the State Administration for Market Regulation (the “SAMR”) of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) is currently conducting an investigation on whether certain sales activities in respect of sales of the customized 4G+ handsets of four of the Group’s provincial subsidiaries could be anti-competitive. Such sales activities include paying subsidies to the distributors and setting sales performance targets on the handset manufacturers for the purpose of increasing the sales of the specially customized 4G+ handsets of four of the Group’s provincial subsidiaries. The handsets themselves comply with all relevant technical specifications under PRC laws and regulations and are approved for sale by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC. As at the date of this announcement, the investigation is still ongoing, and the Group has been cooperating with the SAMR in the process of the investigation. The Group cannot predict whether or when the SAMR will issue a decision or the outcome and implications of the SAMR’s decision. If SAMR takes any regulatory actions against any of the Group’s four provincial subsidiaries, the Company could suffer corresponding negative effects. In the meantime, the Group has suspended the sales activities giving rise to the concern.

 

The SAMR is the authority responsible for the enforcement of the PRC Anti-Monopoly Law and relevant regulations, including promulgating related regulatory policies and guidelines, reviewing monopoly agreements, investigating into abuse of dominant market positions and examining concentration of enterprises. It also has the power to issue orders and fines or take other regulatory actions.
