CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS
AND
WITHHOLDING AND PAYMENT OF ENTERPRISE INCOME TAX
FOR NON-RESIDENT ENTERPRISES IN RESPECT OF
2010 FINAL DIVIDEND

China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited (the “Company”) refers to the 2010 annual results announcement made by the Company on 29 March 2011 (the “2010 Annual Results Announcement”).

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) proposed to pay a final dividend of RMB0.08 per share (pre-tax) for the year ended 31 December 2010 (the “2010 Final Dividend”). The 2010 Final Dividend is subject to shareholders’ approval at the annual general meeting of the Company to be held on 24 May 2011.

CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS
