Technical issues of HKMC Annuity Plan’s online registration system

The following is issued on behalf of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority:

     The spokesman of the HKMC Annuity Limited (HKMCA) announced today (August 8) that the online registration of HKMC Annuity Plan is currently out of service due to technical issues of the corporate website of the HKMCA. The technical staff of the HKMCA is carrying out emergency repairs in order to resume the service as soon as possible.  
 
     Given the above condition, the online registration of the HKMC Annuity Plan will be extended by one day till 11.59pm on August 9. The forms collection time of the agent banks will remain unchanged (until close of business today). The above arrangement will not affect the other applicants as the HKMCA expect the issuance cap is sufficient to absorb all subscription demand. The HKMCA sincerely apologises for the above situation and further announcement will be made upon the resumption of services.
