OVERSEAS REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENT
Deregistration and Termination of Reporting Obligations under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act
Reference is made to the announcement dated 27 November 2015 issued by Hong Kong Television Network Limited (the Company) in relation to the delisting from NASDAQ and termination of reporting obligations under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act (the Exchange Act).
The Company intends to file a Form 15F with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to deregister and terminate its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. The Companys reporting obligation under the Exchange Act will be suspended immediately upon such filing, and the deregistration is expected to become effective 90 days after the filing, unless withdrawn by the Company or denied by the SEC earlier. The Company will publish the information required under Rule 12g3-2(b) of the Exchange Act on its website: http://www.hktv.com.hk.
The decision to deregister has been reached in view of limited holdings and trading volume of the Companys American Depositary Shares (ADSs) and the time and cost of maintaining the listing of the ADSs in the United States.
Following the deregistration, the Companys American Depositary Receipts (ADR) will continue to be traded in the over-the-counter markets, and The Bank of New York Mellon will continue to act as the Companys ADR depositary.

The Company and The Bank of New York Mellon will amend the relevant Deposit Agreement to reflect the change of its reporting status under the Exchange Act. A copy of the amendment to the Deposit Agreement will be filed with the SEC.
