Cheung Kong Holdings

The market capitalisation of the Cheung Kong Group's Hong Kong-listed companies amounted to HK$1,148 billion on 31 January 2015. The group operates in over 50 countries and employs over 240,000 staff worldwide. The group had nine companies: • Hutchison Whampoa Limited () • Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings Limited () • Power Assets Holdings Limited () • CK Life Sciences Int'l., (Holdings) Inc. () • Hutchison Asia Telecommunications Limited • TOM Group Limited () The company was first listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 1972 as Cheung Kong Holdings, and developed into a property development and strategic investment company, with interests in life sciences and other businesses. The company and Sun Hung Kai Properties together became increasingly dominant in the development of new private homes, accounting for 70% of the market in 2010, up from around half of that in 2003. This concentration, with much of the rest of the market occupied by other very large firms, is attributed to the government's policy of auctioning land in expensive large blocks, squeezing out small and mid-sized firms, according to the Consumer Council. Restructuring In January 2015, Li Ka-shing confirmed the business would be restructured and its property business spun-off as a separately listed company, Cheung Kong Property. Under the plans, Cheung Kong Holdings purchased the shares in Hutchison Whampoa that it did not already own, and merged the companies under a new single holding company, CK Hutchison Holdings. The new holding company was established on 18 March 2015, based in the Cayman Islands, but listed in Hong Kong. Hutchison Whampoa was delisted on 3 June 2015, on the same day that a new company comprising the group's existing property assets, Cheung Kong Property Holdings, began trading. ==Shareholdings==
