ANNOUNCEMENT MADE PURSUANT TO RULE 13.51B(2)

This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 13.51B(2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

Reference is made to an order (the "Order") by the Disciplinary Committee (the "Committee") of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "Institute") dated 18 December 2015 in relation to, among other things, Dr. CHENG Chi Pang, Leslie ("Dr. Cheng"), an independent non-executive director, chairman and member of the audit committee and member of the nomination committee of Tianjin Port Development Holdings Limited (the "Company").

According to a press release of the Institute dated 8 January 2016, the Committee of the Institute reprimanded Dr. Cheng and one other respondent (collectively, the "Respondents") on 18 December 2015. The Committee of the Institute found that the Respondents failed or neglected to observe, maintain or otherwise apply professional standards issued by the Institute and ordered Dr. Cheng to pay to the Institute a penalty of HK$100,000 and the costs of the hearing totaling HK$10,250. The Respondents were ordered to jointly pay the remaining costs and expenses of disciplinary proceedings of the Institute and the Financial Reporting Council in the total sum of HK$280,788.70. Further information on the Order is published in the website of http://www.hkicpa.org.hk.

The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") confirms that the Order is unrelated to the Company and its subsidiaries. The Board does not consider that the Order would have any impact on Dr. Cheng's discharge of his duties as an independent non-executive director, the chairman and member of the audit committee and the member of the nomination committee of the Company. Save as disclosed in this announcement, there is no other matter concerning Dr. Cheng's change of information that needs to be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the Company.
