Summary

CK Hutchison Holdings Limited ("CK Hutchison") announces that it has commenced international arbitration proceedings against the Republic of Panama ("Panama") for breaches of an investment protection treaty through sovereign acts that targeted a decades-old ports concession and destroyed CK Hutchison's investments in Panama.

CK Hutchison notified Panama of a treaty dispute on 4 February 2026, following a year-long State attack campaign on the company's assets, and sought to resolve the dispute to no avail.
