PROFIT WARNING

This announcement is made by the Company pursuant to Rule 13.09(2) of the Listing Rules and Part XIVA of the SFO. The Board wishes to inform the shareholders, investors and potential investors of the Company that, based on the preliminary assessment of the latest unaudited financial information, excluding the share of results of Travellers International Hotel Group, Inc. ("Travellers"), the Group is expected to record a consolidated net loss in the range of US$60 million to US$75 million for the six months ended 30 June 2016, as compared with a net consolidated profit of US$2.1 billion, excluding the share of results of Travellers, for the six months ended 30 June 2015.

Shareholders, investors and potential investors of the Company should exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

This announcement is made by Genting Hong Kong Limited (the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") pursuant to Rule 13.09(2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the "SFO").

The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") wishes to inform the shareholders, investors and potential investors of the Company that, based on the preliminary assessment of the latest unaudited financial information, excluding the share of results of Travellers, the Group is expected to record a consolidated net loss in the range of US$60 million to US$75 million for the six months ended 30 June 2016 (the "Period"), as compared with a consolidated net profit of US$2.1 billion, excluding the share of results of Travellers, for the six months ended 30 June 2015.

Such expected decline in the consolidated net results of the Group is mainly attributable to: (i) the absence of a one-off accounting gain of US$1,567.4 million recognised arising from the reclassification of the Group's investment in Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd ("NCLH") from "Interest in associates" to "Available-for-sale investments" in May 2015 and a total gain of US$599.6 million arising from the disposals of certain stakes in NCLH in the six months ended 30 June 2015; (ii) one-time start-up and marketing costs for the launch of new Dream and Crystal cruise brands and products in 2016; and (iii) higher overall operating and selling, general and administrative expenses including depreciation and amortisation as a direct result of the integration of the Group's recently acquired businesses.

The Board wishes to remind investors that the Company is still in the process of finalising its consolidated results for the Period and the above comparison did not take into account the Group's share of results of Travellers as Travellers is a listed company on an overseas stock exchange and its results have not been announced. The Board will consider making a supplemental announcement for the Company, if necessary, after the results of Travellers is announced. The information contained in this announcement is only based on the preliminary assessment made by the Board with reference to the information currently available to the Board. Such information has not been reviewed by the independent auditors of the Company. The unaudited consolidated results of the Group for the Period are expected to be announced in August 2016.

Shareholders, investors and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

By Order of the Board
