Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman of the meeting, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Accordingly, the proposed resolutions will be voted on by way of poll at the AGM. An announcement of the poll results will be made by the Company after the AGM in the manner prescribed by Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed with this circular. You are requested to complete the form of proxy and return it in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Company's share registrar, Tricor Standard Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong, as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting (i.e. not later than 10:00 a.m. on 2 June 2021), or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjournment thereof should you subsequently so wish.

To safeguard the health and safety of the Melco Shareholders and to prevent the spreading of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company would like to encourage the Melco Shareholders to appoint the chairman of the AGM as his/her proxy to vote on the resolutions and to return his/her form of proxy by the time specified above, instead of attending the AGM in person.

For those non-registered holders whose shares are held in the Central Clearing and Settlement System, they are strongly encouraged to vote through HKSCC Nominees Limited by giving instructions to their brokers or custodians.

6

LETTER FROM THE MELCO BOARD

Pursuant to Paragraph A.4.3 of the CG Code, re-election of an independent non-executive director who has served the board for more than nine years will be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by shareholders. Mr. Tsui Che Yin, Frank, an Independent Non-executive Director of the Company, after having taken into account the period he served as an Executive Director of the Company for 15 years, has served the Melco Board for more than 19 years. Mr. Tsui has satisfied all the criteria for independence set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. In view of this and in view of the fact that Mr. Tsui is a very seasoned and experienced director, the Melco Board considers Mr. Tsui has the necessary character, integrity and experience to remain independent notwithstanding his long length of service and will continue to bring invaluable independent advice and perspectives to the Company and its business. The Melco Board therefore recommends Mr. Tsui to be re-elected as Independent Non-executive Director of the Company at the AGM. A separate resolution for his re-election will be proposed for approval by the Melco Shareholders at the AGM.

Process for Nomination of Melco Directors

The Company adopted a nomination policy which sets out the criteria and process for the nomination and appointment of Melco Directors. The criteria to select candidates for directorship include the candidates' age, skills, competence, experience, expertise, professional and educational qualifications, background and personal qualities, whether the candidate can devote sufficient time and commitment to carry out his/her duties, any potential conflict of interests of the candidate, independence of the candidate (for appointment of Independent Non-executive Directors of the Company only) and other factors as the Nomination Committee considers appropriate in assessing the candidate. Nominations of new Melco Directors will be made by the Nomination Committee and are subject to the Melco Board's approval. External consultants may be engaged, if necessary, to access a wider range of potential candidates.

Recommendation of the Nomination Committee

On 30 March 2021, the Nomination Committee, having reviewed the Melco Board's composition, recommended Mr. Evan Andrew Winkler, Mr. Tsui Che Yin, Frank and Ms. Karuna Evelyne Shinsho, who have been longest in office since their last election to the Melco Shareholders for re-election at the AGM. The nominations were made in accordance with the nomination policy and the objective criteria (including without limitation, experience, skills and professional and educational qualifications), and with due regard to the board diversity policy of the Company. All the above retiring Melco Directors have shown devotion and commitment to the Melco Board by their attendance to the Melco Board and relevant Melco Board committee meetings during their tenure.

Regarding the proposal for re-election of Mr. Tsui Che Yin, Frank and Ms. Karuna Evelyne Shinsho as Independent Non-executive Directors of the Company, the Nomination Committee has considered Mr. Tsui's and Ms. Shinsho's qualification, skills, experience and various diversity aspects as set out in the board diversity policy of the Company and is of the view that Mr. Tsui and Ms. Shinsho will be able to continue to contribute to the Melco Board with their perspectives, skills and experience.

7

LETTER FROM THE MELCO BOARD

In addition, each of Mr. Tsui and Ms. Shinsho has made an annual confirmation of independence pursuant to the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules to the Company.

The Melco Board, having considered the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, is of the view that each of the retiring Melco Directors has the required character, integrity and experience to continue fulfilling the role of a Melco Director. Therefore, re-election of the retiring Melco Directors be recommended for approval by the Melco Shareholders at the AGM.

Brief biographical details of the retiring Melco Directors proposed for re-election at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

4. GRANT OF GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES TO THE MELCO DIRECTORS

The resolution set out in item 4 of the notice of the AGM, if passed, will give the Melco Directors a general and unconditional mandate to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Melco Shares up to 10% of the number of issued Melco Shares at the date of passing the resolution (the "Repurchase Mandate") before the Company's next annual general meeting. A statement explaining the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix III to this circular. The Melco Directors confirm that, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there is no plan for any repurchase of Melco Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

At the AGM, the resolution set out in item 5 of the notice of the AGM will be proposed which, if passed, will give the Melco Directors a general mandate to issue Melco Shares and grant rights to subscribe for and convert securities into Melco Shares, before the Company's next annual general meeting, up to (i) 20% of the number of issued Melco Shares at the date of passing the resolution (based on the total number of Melco Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, being 1,516,142,755 Melco Shares, the mandate would give the Melco Directors power to issue up to 303,228,551 Melco Shares) and (ii) the number of Melco Shares repurchased by the Company subsequent to the passing of the resolution in respect of the Repurchase Mandate (the "Issue Mandate"). The Melco Directors confirm that, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there is no plan for any issue of Melco Shares pursuant to the Issue Mandate.

The Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate will continue to be in force from the passing of the said resolutions until whichever of the following first occurs:

  1. the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or
  2. the expiry of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Companies Ordinance to be held; or
  3. the revocation or variation of the authority given under such ordinary resolutions by an ordinary resolution or ordinary resolutions of the Melco Shareholders in general meeting.

LETTER FROM THE MELCO BOARD

5. ADOPTION OF THE 2021 MRE SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN AND TERMINATION OF THE 2011 MRE SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN BY MRE

The 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan

The 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan was adopted and revised by MRE on 7 December 2011, 3 July 2015 and 9 December 2016. The 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan has a term of 10 years and will expire on 7 December 2021.

Proposed Adoption of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan by MRE

In view of the impending expiry of the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan, MRE proposes to adopt the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan to enable MRE to continue to grant awards to eligible participants as incentive for their contributions to the success of MRE.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company indirectly held 812,729,781 MRE Shares, representing approximately 55.80% of the number of issued MRE Shares. As MRE is a subsidiary of the Company under the Listing Rules, the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan constitutes a share option scheme governed by Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules and the implementation of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan is subject to the approval of the Melco Shareholders in accordance with Rule 17.02(1)(a) of the Listing Rules. The Melco Board proposes to recommend to the Melco Shareholders at the AGM to approve the adoption of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan by MRE.

Termination of the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan

Under the terms of the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan, with the approval of the MRE Board, the MRE Compensation Committee may at any time terminate the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan, provided that such date of termination of the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan determined by the MRE Compensation Committee shall not be later than the Effective Date.

Upon the termination of the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan, no further options may be granted pursuant to the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan but the provisions of the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan shall remain in full force and effect in all other respects in respect of any options granted prior to the date of termination of the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan but not yet exercised at the time of termination.

9

LETTER FROM THE MELCO BOARD

The 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed for the Melco Shareholders to approve the proposed adoption of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan by MRE. A summary of the principal terms of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan which is proposed to be approved by the Melco Shareholders at the AGM is set out in Appendix IV to this circular on pages 29 to 35.

MRE has one other share incentive plan, namely the MRE 2006 SIP. No additional awards may be granted under the MRE 2006 SIP after 7 December 2011, being the effective date of the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were no awards that remained outstanding under the MRE 2006 SIP.

MRE Shares distributed pursuant to a MRE Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized but unissued newly issued MRE Shares, treasury shares or MRE Shares that have already been issued and purchased on the open market. Additionally, in the discretion of the MRE Compensation Committee, ADSs in an amount equal to the number of MRE Shares which otherwise would be distributed pursuant to a MRE Award may be distributed in lieu of MRE Shares in settlement of any MRE Award.

The terms of grant of any MRE Award under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan will be determined by the MRE Compensation Committee in its discretion, including, for options, the period within which MRE Shares must be taken up under the options (provided that the term of any option granted under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan shall not exceed 10 years), the minimum period, if any, for which the options must be held before they can be exercised, the conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of the options may be exercised, and the amount, if any, payable on acceptance of the options. The 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan does not specify any minimum term for which options must be held before they can be exercised or any performance target before which options can be exercised. The Melco Directors consider that the terms of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan will serve to encourage MRE Participants to participate in the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan.

No offer of any options under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan shall be made after inside information of the Company has come to the knowledge of MRE, until such information has been announced by the Company pursuant to the requirements of the Listing Rules or has ceased to be inside information of the Company. In particular, no MRE option may be granted during the period commencing one month immediately before the earlier of:

  1. the date of the meeting of the Melco Board (as such date is first notified by the Company to the Stock Exchange in accordance with the Listing Rules) for approving the Company's results for any year, half-year, quarterly or any other interim period (whether or not required under the Listing Rules); and
  2. the deadline for the Company to announce its results for any year or half-year under the Listing Rules, or quarterly or any other interim period (whether or not required under the Listing Rules),

and ending on the date of announcement of such results. The period during which no option may be granted will cover any period of delay in publishing a results announcement.

10

LETTER FROM THE MELCO BOARD

Where an option is to be granted to a Melco Director, or chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company, or any of their respective associates, the grant shall not be valid unless it has been approved by Independent Non-executive Directors of the Company, excluding any Independent Non-executive Director of the Company who is also a proposed grantee of the option. Where an option is to be granted to a substantial shareholder of the Company or an Independent Non-executive Director of the Company or any of their respective associates, and the grant will, in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant, result in the number and value of the MRE Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all options (granted and proposed to be granted, whether exercised, cancelled or outstanding) to the relevant grantee (i) representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the total number of MRE Shares in issue at the relevant time of grant, and (ii) in the event that the MRE Shares are listed on the Stock Exchange, having an aggregate value in excess of HK$5 million, based on the closing price of the MRE Shares on the Stock Exchange at the date of each grant, such grant shall not be valid unless:

  1. a circular containing the details of the grant has been despatched to the Melco Shareholders in a manner complying with, and containing the matters specified in, the relevant provisions of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules in force from time to time. In accordance with the current Listing Rules, the circular must contain (a) details of the number and terms of the options (including the exercise price and other information required under Rules 17.03(5) to 17.03(10)) to be granted to each MRE Participant, which must be fixed before the Melco Shareholders' meeting, and the date of board meeting for proposing such further grant is to be taken as the date of grant for the purpose of calculating the exercise price; (b) a recommendation from the Independent Non-executive Directors of the Company (excluding an Independent Non-executive Director who is also a proposed grantee of the options) to the independent Melco Shareholders as to voting; (c) the information required under Rules 17.02(2)(c) and
    (d) and the disclaimer required under Rule 17.02(4); and (d) the information required under Rule 2.17; and
  2. the grant has been approved by the Melco Shareholders in general meeting (taken on a poll), at which the proposed grantee, his associates, and all core connected persons of the Company abstained from voting in favour.

The maximum aggregate number of MRE Shares which may be issued pursuant to all MRE Awards under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan and any other share incentive plan or other schemes of MRE shall not be more than 10% of the total number of issued MRE Shares as at the Melco Approval Date (the "Option Limit"). In addition, under the Listing Rules, the total number of new MRE Shares which may be issued on exercise of all options granted under 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan must not in aggregate exceed the Option Limit, unless the Company obtains a separate approval from the Melco Shareholders to refresh the Option Limit. The Option Limit may be refreshed by an ordinary resolution of the Melco Shareholders, provided that:

  1. the Option Limit so refreshed (the "New Option Limit") shall not exceed 10% of the total number of MRE Shares in issue as at the date of the Melco Shareholders' approval of the refreshing of the Option Limit;

11

LETTER FROM THE MELCO BOARD

  1. options previously granted under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan and any other share incentive plan or other schemes of MRE (including the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan) (including options outstanding, cancelled, or lapsed in accordance with the relevant rules or exercised options) shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the New Option Limit; and
  2. a circular regarding the proposed refreshing of the Option Limit has been despatched to Melco Shareholders in a manner complying with, and containing the matters specified in, the relevant provisions of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules in force from time to time.

If MRE conducts a share consolidation or subdivision after the Option Limit or the 10% limit as renewed (the "New Option Limit") (as the case may be) has been approved by the Melco Shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules, the maximum number of MRE Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan (and any other option schemes of MRE) under the Option Limit or New Option Limit (as the case may be) so approved, as a percentage of the total number of issued MRE Shares at the date immediately before and after such consolidation or subdivision, shall be the same. Such adjustment shall take effect automatically under the terms of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan. Additionally, under the Listing Rules, the maximum number of new MRE Shares which may be issued on exercise of all options granted under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan together with any options granted under any other share incentive plan or other schemes of MRE (including the MRE 2006 SIP) shall not exceed 30% of the total number of issued MRE Shares from time to time. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 1,456,547,942 MRE Shares in issue. Assuming that no further MRE Shares will be allotted, issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, and without prejudice to the overall limit on the maximum number of 436,964,382 MRE Shares which may be issued pursuant to all MRE Awards, under the Listing Rules, the maximum number of new MRE Shares which may be issued on exercise of all options granted under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan and any other share incentive plan or other schemes of MRE on the Melco Approval Date would be 145,654,794 MRE Shares, representing 10% of the total number of MRE Shares in issue.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, MRE Awards have been granted under the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan in respect of 74,686,680 MRE Shares, comprising options in respect of an aggregate of 43,849,002 MRE Shares (representing approximately 3.01% of the number of issued MRE Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date). MRE Awards granted under the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan comprised exercised, cancelled or lapsed options in respect of 11,582,886 MRE Shares. The remaining MRE Awards granted under the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan in respect of 25,313,320 MRE Shares (representing approximately 1.74% of the number of issued MRE Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date), comprised options granted and remained unexercised or outstanding in respect of aggregate of 32,266,116 MRE Shares (representing approximately 2.22% of the number of issued MRE Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date). There are no options granted and remained unexercised or outstanding under the MRE 2006 SIP. Accordingly, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 32,266,116 options granted and remained unexercised or outstanding under the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan and the MRE 2006 SIP, of which the holders were entitled to subscribe for a total of 32,266,116 MRE Shares (representing approximately 2.22% of the number of issued MRE Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date).

LETTER FROM THE MELCO BOARD

The Melco Board considers that it is not appropriate to state the value of all options over new MRE Shares that can be granted pursuant to the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan as if they had been granted on the Latest Practicable Date as a number of variables which are crucial for the calculation of such values have not been determined. Such variables include but are not limited to the exercise price, exercise period, lock-up period (if any). The Melco Directors believe that any calculation of the value of the options over new MRE Shares that can be granted pursuant to the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan as at the Latest Practicable Date based on a number of speculative assumptions would not be meaningful and would be misleading to the Melco Shareholders.

Save as disclosed in this Letter from the Melco Board or Appendix IV to this circular and save for changes made to reflect amendments made to the Listing Rules, there is no material difference between the provisions of the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan and the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan that relate to options.

The 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan shall be effective as of a date specified by the MRE Compensation Committee as the effective date for the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan (the "Effective Date"), which shall be a date following the fulfilment of the Conditions (as defined below) and not later than 7 December 2021 (being the expiration date of the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan). Adoption of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan, and the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan becoming effective, are conditional on both of the following conditions (the "Conditions") being fulfilled:

  1. the passing of a resolution by the MRE Board approving the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan; and
  2. the passing of resolutions by the Melco Board and the Melco Shareholders approving the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan.

The MRE Compensation Committee has four members who are all independent non-executive directors of MRE, comprising Mr. Thomas Jefferson Wu, Mr. Alec Yiu Wa Tsui, Ms. Francesca Galante and Mr. John William Crawford. The MRE Compensation Committee is chaired by Mr. Thomas Jefferson Wu.

On 17 March 2021, the MRE Board approved the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan, and on 31 March 2021, the Melco Board approved the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan. Save for Mr. John William Crawford (an Independent Non-executive Director of the Company), none of the Melco Directors is a member of the MRE Compensation Committee.

None of the Melco Directors is considered to have a material interest in the proposed adoption of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan by MRE, or is otherwise required to abstain from voting on, the Melco Board resolution in relation to the proposal. The Melco Board has approved the proposed adoption of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan by MRE conditional upon the approval by the Melco Shareholders at the AGM.

13

LETTER FROM THE MELCO BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the Melco Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Melco Shareholder has a material interest in the proposed adoption of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan by MRE. As such, no Melco Shareholder is required to abstain from voting in favour of the resolution approving the proposed adoption of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan by MRE at the AGM.

A copy of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan will be available for inspection at the Company's registered office at 38th Floor, The Centrium, 60 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong during normal business hours not less than 14 days before the date of the AGM and at the AGM.

6. RECOMMENDATION

The Melco Board believes that the proposals mentioned above, including the proposals for re-election of Melco Directors, granting of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate to the Melco Directors and the adoption of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan by MRE are in the best interests of the Company and the Melco Shareholders as a whole.

In particular, the proposed adoption of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan by MRE can align the interests of the MRE Participants with the interests of MRE and that the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan will provide a flexible and effective means to enable MRE to incentivize the members of the MRE Board, and employees and consultants of MRE and its parents and subsidiaries and related entities.

Accordingly, the Melco Board recommends the Melco Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

7. RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Melco Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Melco Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

APPENDIX III

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate and also constitutes the memorandum as required under section 239 of the Companies Ordinance.

1. LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange, subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarized below:

  1. The shares to be repurchased by a company must be fully paid-up.
  2. The company has previously sent to its shareholders an explanatory statement complying with the Listing Rules.
  3. All on-market repurchase of shares by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a specific approval in relation to specific transactions or by a general mandate to the directors of the company to make such repurchase, and a copy of such resolution together with the necessary documentation have been delivered to the Stock Exchange in accordance with the Listing Rules.

2. LIMIT OF POSSIBLE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Melco Shares in issue was 1,516,142,755. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution and on the basis that no further Melco Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 151,614,275 Melco Shares (representing 10% of the total number of Melco Shares in issue at the date of passing the resolution).

3. REASON FOR REPURCHASES

The Melco Directors believe that the flexibility afforded by the Repurchase Mandate would be beneficial to the Company and the Melco Shareholders. Trading conditions on the Stock Exchange have sometimes been volatile in recent years and if there are occasions in future when depressed market conditions arise, repurchases of Melco Shares may support the prices of Melco Shares and lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Melco Share. It will then be beneficial to those Melco Shareholders who retain their investment in the Company since their percentage interest in the assets of the Company would increase in proportion to the number of Melco Shares repurchased by the Company.

25

APPENDIX III

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Melco Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the laws of Hong Kong and the Listing Rules. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase would be derived from the distributable profits of the Company.

There might be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Melco Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Melco Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. SHARE PRICES

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

6. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

The Melco Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the Companies Ordinance.

If as a result of a share repurchase, a shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a shareholder, or a group of shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the shareholder's interests, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. As at the Latest Practicable Date, (a) Better Joy Overseas Ltd., Lasting Legend Ltd., Mighty Dragon Developments Limited and Maple Peak Investments Inc. (all of which are owned by Mr. Ho, Lawrence Yau Lung ("Mr. Lawrence Ho") and/or persons and/ or trusts associated with Mr. Lawrence Ho) and Mr. Lawrence Ho are together beneficially interested in 37.22% of the issued Melco Shares; (b) L3G Holdings Inc., a company controlled by a discretionary family trust, the beneficiaries of which include Mr. Lawrence Ho and his immediate family members, is holding 20.62% of the issued Melco Shares; (c) Ms. Lo Sau Yan, Sharen ("Mrs. Ho"), spouse of Mr. Lawrence Ho, is beneficially interested in 0.28% of the issued Melco Shares. and (d) the associates of Mr. Lawrence Ho are together beneficially interested in 0.03% of the issued Melco Shares. For the purposes of the Takeovers Code, Better Joy Overseas Ltd., Lasting Legend Ltd., Mighty Dragon Developments Limited, Maple Peak Investments Inc., L3G Holdings Inc., Mr. Lawrence Ho, Mrs. Ho and the associates of Mr. Lawrence Ho (the "Concert Group") are deemed to be acting in concert and are taken to have interests in a total of 58.15% of the issued Melco Shares.

In the event that the Melco Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Melco Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of the Concert Group would be increased to approximately 64.61% of the issued Melco Shares. The Melco Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases made under the Repurchase Mandate. The Company, however, has no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to the effect that it will result in the public float to fall below 25% or such other minimum percentage prescribed by the Listing Rules from time to time.

APPENDIX III

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

7. MELCO DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Melco Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Melco Shareholders, to sell Melco Shares to the Company.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has any present intention to sell Melco Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Melco Shareholders.

8. UNDERTAKING OF THE MELCO DIRECTORS

The Melco Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the proposed Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Companies Ordinance and the regulations set out in the Articles of Association.

9. REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Company has not purchased any of the Melco Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date except that the trustee of the Company's Share Purchase Scheme, purchased on the Stock Exchange a total of 2,495,000 Melco Shares at a total consideration of approximately HK$30,767,000 to satisfy the award of shares to selected participants pursuant to the terms of the rules and trust deed of such Share Purchase Scheme.

APPENDIX IV

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF

THE 2021 MRE SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan proposed to be approved at the AGM. This summary does not form part of, nor is it intended to affect the interpretation of, the rules of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan:

  1. Purpose. The purpose of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan is to promote the success and enhance the value of MRE, by linking the personal interests of the members of the MRE Board, and employees and consultants of MRE, its parents, its subsidiaries and its related entities to those of MRE's shareholders and by providing such individuals with an incentive for outstanding performance to generate superior returns to MRE's shareholders. The 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to MRE in its ability to motivate, attract, and retain the services of members of the MRE Board, and employees and consultants upon whose judgment, interest and special effort the successful conduct of MRE's operation is largely dependent.
  2. Types of Awards. The awards MRE may grant under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan include options, restricted shares, share appreciation rights, dividend equivalents, share payments, deferred shares and restricted share units. For the purposes of this paragraph:
    1. restricted shares mean MRE Shares which are subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the MRE Compensation Committee may impose (including, without limitation, limitations on the right to vote restricted shares or the right to receive dividends on the restricted shares). Unvested restricted shares are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment or service during the restriction period, unless otherwise determined or waived by the MRE Compensation Committee;
    2. share appreciation rights mean rights to receive an amount determined by multiplying the difference obtained by, subtracting the MRE Exercise Price per MRE Share of the share appreciation right from the MRE Fair Market Value of a MRE Share on the date of exercise of the share appreciation right by the number of MRE Shares with respect to which the share appreciation right shall have been exercised, subject to any limitations the MRE Compensation Committee may impose. The MRE Compensation Committee shall determine the time or times at which a share appreciation right may be exercised in whole or in part (provided that the term of the right shall not exceed 10 years). The MRE Compensation Committee shall also determine the conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of a share appreciation right may be exercised. The MRE Compensation Committee may provide in the MRE Award Agreement evidencing the grant of a share appreciation right that the MRE Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to substitute an option for such share appreciation right at any time prior to or upon exercise of such share appreciation right, provided that such option shall (i) be exercisable for the same number of MRE Shares that such substituted share appreciation right would have been exercisable for and (ii) shall have the same exercise price as such substituted share appreciation right;
    3. dividend equivalents mean rights to receive the equivalent value (in cash or MRE Shares) of dividends paid on MRE Shares;

29

APPENDIX IV

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF

THE 2021 MRE SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN

  1. share payments mean a payment in the form of MRE Shares, or an option or other right to purchase MRE Shares, as part of any bonus, deferred compensation or other arrangement made in lieu of all or any portion of base salary, bonus or other cash compensation otherwise payable to a MRE Participant;
  2. deferred shares mean a right to receive a specified number of MRE Shares during specified time periods; and
  3. restricted share units mean units of MRE Shares which are not fully vested until certain terms and conditions (including, if applicable, the payment of the applicable purchase price to MRE) as determined by the MRE Compensation Committee, are met. On the maturity date specified by the MRE Compensation Committee to be applicable to a grant of restricted share units (which shall be no earlier than the vesting date of such units), MRE shall transfer one unrestricted, fully transferable MRE Share for each restricted share unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously forfeited).

Options over new MRE Shares are subject to Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules. All other types of MRE Awards (being options over MRE Shares that are not new shares, restricted shares, share appreciation rights, dividend equivalents, share payments, deferred shares and restricted share units) are not subject to Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.

Where any MRE Award is proposed to be granted to a connected person of the Company, the Company will comply with the requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules as may be applicable to such grant.

  1. Eligible Participants. Persons eligible to participate in the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan include members of the MRE Board, and employees and consultants of MRE, any parent or subsidiary or any related entity of MRE that the MRE Compensation Committee designates as a related entity1 for the purposes of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan. The MRE Compensation Committee may, from time to time, select from among all eligible individuals, those to whom awards may be granted and shall determine the nature and amount of each award. The basis of eligibility of any MRE Participant(s) for the grant of any option under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan shall be determined by the MRE Compensation Committee from time to time, based on who, in the opinion of the MRE Compensation Committee, has contributed or will contribute to the development and growth of MRE and its subsidiaries. When determining the eligibility of any MRE Participant(s), the MRE Compensation Committee will take into account such factors as the MRE Compensation Committee may at its discretion consider appropriate on a case-by-case basis, including, but not limited to, each MRE Participant's contribution or future contribution to MRE and its subsidiaries and the need of MRE and its subsidiaries to develop, retain, motivate or otherwise maintain the business relationship with the relevant MRE Participant. The inclusion of

1For the purposes of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan, the scope of a "related entity" is expanded (from merely an entity in which MRE, any parent or subsidiary of MRE holds a substantial ownership interest in the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan) to include businesses and entities in which MRE, any parent or subsidiary of MRE has the power to direct its management or policies.

APPENDIX IV

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF

THE 2021 MRE SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN

external parties other than employees and directors as an eligible MRE Participant enables key business partners of MRE to gain vested interests in the long-term success of MRE, which would in turn help nurture a sustainable, long-term and mutually beneficial partnership that is strategically important to MRE's business. The inclusion of such classes of MRE Participants provides MRE and its subsidiaries with a more flexible means to encourage MRE Participants to work towards enhancing the value of MRE and its subsidiaries, for the benefit of MRE and its subsidiaries and the holders of MRE Shares as a whole.

  1. Maximum Number of Shares. The maximum aggregate number of MRE Shares which may be issued pursuant to all MRE Awards under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan and any other share incentive plan or other schemes of MRE shall not be more than 10% of the total number of MRE Shares in issue as at the Melco Approval Date. Please see "5. Adoption of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan and Termination of the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan by MRE - The 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan" in the Letter from the Melco Board in this circular for further details on the maximum number of MRE Shares which may be issued under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan.
  2. Maximum Entitlement of MRE Participants. If the MRE Compensation Committee determines to offer options to an eligible MRE Participant which exceed the limit of 1% of MRE Shares in issue within a 12-month period up to the date of grant, then (i) that grant shall be subject to (a) the issue of a circular by the Company to the Melco Shareholders which shall comply with the Listing Rules, any applicable law and any other exchange rules from time to time, and (b) the approval of Melco Shareholders in general meeting at which that eligible MRE Participant and his close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) (or his associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) if the eligible MRE Participant is a connected person of the Company) shall abstain from voting, and
    1. unless provided otherwise in the Listing Rules, any applicable law or other exchange rules, the date of the meeting of the MRE Compensation Committee at which the MRE Compensation Committee resolves to grant the proposed options to that eligible MRE Participant shall be taken as the date of grant for the purposes of calculating the MRE Exercise Price to be set forth in the said circular.
  3. Option Periods and Payments. The MRE Compensation Committee may in its discretion determine, subject to the expiration period of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan, the period within which shares must be taken up under an option; the minimum period, if any, for which an option must be held before it can be exercised; and the amount, if any, payable on application or acceptance of the option.

31

APPENDIX IV

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF

THE 2021 MRE SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN

  1. Plan Administration. The MRE Compensation Committee will administer the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan and has the power to, among other actions, designate eligible participants, determine the number and types of awards to be granted, and set the terms and conditions of each award granted. The MRE Compensation Committee's decisions are final, binding, and conclusive for all purposes and upon all parties. In addition, compared to the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan, the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan contains a new provision that MRE may from time to time retain or appoint one or more trustee(s) and administrator(s) to assist in the administration of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan. The functions of such appointed trustee shall include (but are not limited to) the receiving of funds from MRE and/or its subsidiaries from time to time for on-market purchase of MRE Shares, the holding of MRE Shares pending vesting of MRE Awards, the transfer of MRE Shares to and from such appointed administrator following vesting of MRE Awards and the execution of requests from MRE from time to time for the purpose of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan. MRE may enter into such agreements or make such arrangements (including the establishment of a trust) as may be necessary in connection with the provisions in this paragraph. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no trustee has been appointed to assist in the administration of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan. MRE does not at present intend to appoint a trustee to the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan.
  2. Award Agreement. MRE Awards granted under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan will be evidenced by an award agreement that sets forth the terms, conditions and limitations for each MRE Award.
  3. Exercise Price. The MRE Compensation Committee may determine the exercise price, grant price or purchase price, if any, of any option.
    Pursuant to Note (2) to Rule 17.03(9) of the Listing Rules, in the event that MRE seeks a separate listing of its shares on the Stock Exchange or any overseas stock exchange, the exercise price of any options granted after the Company has resolved to seek a separate listing of MRE on the Stock Exchange or such overseas stock exchange must not be lower than the new issue price. In particular, the exercise price of any options granted during the period commencing six months before the lodgment of Form A1 (or its equivalent for listing on GEM or such overseas stock exchange) by MRE up to the listing date of MRE shall be not lower than the new issue price of the listing.

32

APPENDIX IV

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF

THE 2021 MRE SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN

  1. Terms of Awards. The terms of each MRE Award shall be stated in the MRE Award Agreement. If the MRE Participant ceases to be eligible for any reason, the validity of the MRE Award shall depend on the terms and conditions of the MRE Award Agreement. An option will lapse automatically and may not be exercised upon the first to occur of the following events: (a) 10 years from the date of the grant, unless an earlier time is set out in the MRE Award Agreement; (b) three months after termination of service, subject to certain exceptions; (c) one year after the date of termination of service on account of disability or death; (d) date on which the participant ceases to be eligible by reason of termination of relationship with MRE and/or any of its subsidiaries on grounds that such participant has been guilty of serious misconduct or convicted of any criminal offence involving integrity or honesty; and (e) date on which the MRE Compensation Committee cancels the option.
  2. Transferability. Rights in awards are personal to MRE Participants. Except as otherwise provided by the MRE Compensation Committee, no award shall be assigned, transferred, or otherwise disposed of by a MRE Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
  3. Adjustment. The 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan provides for adjustments in circumstances where there are changes in the capital structure of MRE: (I) In the case of options granted under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan, in the event of a capitalization issue, rights issue, subdivision or consolidation of MRE Shares or reduction of share capital of MRE; or (II) in the case of MRE Awards other than options ("Other MRE Awards") granted under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan, in the event of any extraordinary dividend, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, liquidating dividend, share split, combination or exchange of MRE Shares, amalgamation, arrangement or consolidation, spin-off, recapitalization, reorganization, reincorporation, partial or complete liquidation, reclassification, merger, consolidation, separation, split-up,spin-off, combination, exchange of MRE Shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase MRE Shares at a price substantially below the MRE Fair Market Value or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of MRE's assets to its shareholders, change in corporate structure or any other similar equity restructuring transaction or other change affecting the number of MRE Shares or the share price of a MRE Share.
    The MRE Compensation Committee shall make proportionate and equitable adjustments to reflect such change with respect to: (a) the class(es), aggregate number and types of securities that may be issued under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan, unless and except to the extent any such adjustment otherwise takes effect automatically in accordance with the terms of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan; (b) the terms and conditions of any outstanding MRE Awards; and (c) the grant price or exercise price per unit of security for any outstanding MRE Awards, in order to preserve, but not increase, the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan.
    Any adjustment described in this paragraph in relation to options must give a MRE Participant the same proportion of the equity capital of MRE as to which that MRE Participant was previously entitled, and any adjustments so made shall be in compliance with the Listing Rules and such applicable guidance and/or interpretation of the Listing Rules from time to time issued by the Stock Exchange but no such adjustments may be to the extent that a MRE Share would be issued

THE 2021 MRE SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN

at less than its nominal value. An issue of MRE Shares as consideration in a transaction may not be regarded as a circumstance requiring adjustment. In addition, other than any adjustment made on a capitalisation issue, an independent financial adviser or the auditors of MRE shall confirm to the board of directors of MRE in writing that the adjustments satisfy the requirements set out in Rule 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules and the note thereto and such applicable guidance and/or such other requirements prescribed under the Listing Rules from time to time.

  1. Rights Attached to Shares. No MRE Award gives the MRE Participant any right of a MRE shareholder, unless and until MRE Shares are in fact issued to such person in connection with such MRE Award. With respect to any payments not yet made to a MRE Participant pursuant to a MRE Award, nothing contained in the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan or any MRE Award Agreement shall give the MRE Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of MRE or any of its subsidiaries.
    Except as expressly provided in or authorized by the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan, no MRE Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of MRE Shares of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of MRE Shares of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of MRE or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan or pursuant to any action of the MRE Compensation Committee under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan, no issuance by MRE of MRE Shares of any class or securities convertible into MRE Shares of any class shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made to the number of MRE Shares subject to a MRE Award or the grant price or exercise price of any MRE Award.
  2. Change in Control. Upon (i) the transfer of beneficial ownership of securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of MRE's outstanding securities, however acquired, or (ii) the consummation of a sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of MRE and its subsidiaries, other than a sale, lease, license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of MRE and its subsidiaries to an entity, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by MRE's shareholders in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the outstanding voting securities of MRE immediately prior to such sale, lease, license or other disposition; or the individuals who, as of the Effective Date, are members of the MRE Board, cease for any reason to constitute at least 50% of the MRE Board; each MRE Award will terminate, unless the MRE Award is continued, or is assumed or replaced by the successor entity. If the successor entity assumes the MRE Award or replaces it with a comparable award, or replaces the award with a cash incentive program and provides for subsequent payout, the replacement award or cash incentive program will automatically become fully vested, exercisable and payable, as applicable, immediately upon termination of the MRE Participant's employment without cause within 13 months2 of the change in control. If the MRE Award is neither assumed nor replaced, it shall become fully vested and exercisable and released from any repurchase or forfeiture rights immediately prior to the effective date of such change in control, provided that the MRE Participant remains eligible on the specified effective date of the change in control.

212 months in the 2011 MRE Share Incentive Plan.

APPENDIX IV

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF

THE 2021 MRE SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN

  1. Amendment and Termination. Subject to applicable law, with the approval of MRE Board, the MRE Compensation Committee may terminate, amend or modify the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan, except that Melco Shareholders' approval is required (other than alterations that take effect automatically under the terms of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan) for any amendment to the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan that: (i) increases the number of MRE Shares available under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan for the grant of options (other than any adjustment described in paragraph "L. Adjustment" above in this Appendix IV), (ii) alters the provisions of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan in respect of options which relate to the matters set out in Rule 17.03 of the Listing Rules to the advantage of MRE Participants or persons eligible to participate in the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan, (iii) changes the authority of the MRE Board, directors of MRE or the MRE Compensation Committee in relation to any alteration to the terms of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan relating to options, or (iv) relates to options and is of a material nature. Any amendments to provisions of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan relating to MRE Awards other than options (including restricted shares, share appreciation rights, dividend equivalents, share payments, deferred shares and/or restricted share units) are not subject to the Listing Rules as at the date of adoption of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan and may be made without Melco Shareholders' approval, unless and except to the extent that the Listing Rules are subsequently amended to require such approval. No termination, amendment, or modification of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any MRE Award previously granted pursuant to the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan and other previous plans without the prior written consent of the MRE Participant. In the event of a termination of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan, no further MRE Awards shall be granted but the provisions of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan shall remain in full force and effect in all other respects in respect of any MRE Awards granted prior thereto but not yet exercised at the time of termination. The appointment of any trustee or administrator described under paragraph "G. Plan Administration" above, and any subsequent amendment of their terms of appointment or the trusts upon which any such trustee is appointed, shall not constitute an amendment or modification of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan. The amended terms of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan or the options must comply with the relevant provisions of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.
  2. Cancellation of Options. Except otherwise stated in the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan, any cancellation of options granted but not exercised must be approved in writing by the MRE Participants of the relevant options. Where MRE cancels options, the grant of new options to the same MRE Participant may only be made under the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan within the relevant limits and restrictions set out in the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan.
  3. Expiration. The 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan will expire on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. No MRE Awards may be granted pursuant to the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan after that time. Any MRE Awards that are outstanding on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date shall remain in force according to the terms of the 2021 MRE Share Incentive Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.
  4. Vesting Schedule. In general, the MRE Compensation Committee determines, or the MRE Award Agreement would specify, the vesting schedule.
