38th Annual General Meeting

The Chairman invited Mr Tan to give shareholders an update of the key events in 2022 and the latest developments relating to the Resorts World Sentosa ("RWS") Integrated Resort and the Company. Mr Tan's presentation slides has been made available on SGXNet and the Company's website at the URL https://www.gentingsingapore.com/#!/en/investors/annual-reports.

After the presentation, Mr Tan handed over the proceedings back to the Chairman.

The Chairman informed shareholders that the Board would move on to address applicable questions from shareholders during the Meeting, which were related to the resolutions tabled for approval at the Meeting. The Chairman invited shareholders to ask any questions relating to any of the resolutions 1 to

8. He informed shareholders that the Board would close the question-and-answer segment of the Meeting before moving on to vote on the resolutions, and that the Board would not be taking any further questions when the voting on the resolutions commenced. The Chairman requested for shareholders to identify themselves before asking questions. Chairman also requested, in due consideration of the interests of other shareholders, that shareholders limit their questions to a reasonable number and length and to matters that were relevant to the agenda for the Meeting.

A shareholder commented that Mr Tan's presentation should include the Company's results and financial performance. The shareholder then referred to the developments in Macau where there was a clampdown on junket operators and asked how the situation in Macau was affecting RWS's gaming operations and how the mainlanders were reacting to such clampdown in Macau. He further commented that the Company can afford to pay more dividend to improve the investors' interest in the Company and the return on equity (ROE).

Mr Tan thanked the shareholder for his comment and replied that he will include the Company's financial performance in his AGM presentation next year.

In response to the shareholder's question on the developments in Macau, Mr Tan noted that Macau was coming back very strongly after recent relaxation of COVID measures. He explained that Singapore is a highly regulated market where junket operators are prohibited and we at RWS takes compliance as a culture very seriously and would comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Singapore. In this regard, the clampdown on junket operators in Macau would not affect RWS's gaming operations.

On the question of dividend, Mr Tan explained that the payout ratio for dividends for financial year ended 2022 is more than 100% of the Company's earnings. He added that the reserves would be used to fund the $4.5 billion RWS 2.0 project while preserving a buffer for working capital in the event of recession. The shareholder noted Mr Tan's comments and hoped that the Board could consider paying higher dividend if the Company is doing well.

In response to the shareholder's queries on the occupancy rate of hotels and whether business was getting better, Mr Tan commented that RWS business had recovered back to 60-65%pre-COVID level. He explained that RWS business was very dependent on air flights. He then cited example of air flights from China, one of RWS's key market, which was still at 13% of pre-COVID level as of Q1 2023. Mr Tan explained that the occupancy rate of RWS hotels for 2022 was about 80% and that the occupancy rate could be better with increases in air flights as more than 75% of RWS business were from outside of Singapore pre-

COVID.

In response to the shareholder's further query on the restrictions of air flights frequency, Mr Tan clarified that the air flights frequency was determined by the airlines. He added that during COVID, airlines had laid off staff and reduced their fleets. It was challenging to increase air flights frequency due to various reasons, including labour shortage.

Another shareholder raised the point that RWS 2.0 project was delayed by 2-3 years due to the pandemic and asked whether the Company negotiated with the Singapore Government to extend the exclusivity period of 10 years. Mr Tan explained that he was unable to comment due to confidentiality obligations under the Official Secrets Act.

The shareholder noted that RWS no longer offered annual passes for its attractions post-COVID and asked whether the reason was for RWS to maximise revenue. Mr Tan responded that during COVID, RWS was relying on the revenue from Singapore market to cover running costs and hence the discontinuation of annual passes. Citing other attractions worldwide which offer annual passes, the shareholder asked whether RWS would consider re-introducing annual passes to encourage greater visitorship. Mr Tan explained that from a revenue perspective, it continues to make sense not to offer annual passes; however RWS may look into the introduction of season passes in one to two years when overseas travellers return.

The shareholder further queried on the amount already spent out of the $4.5 billion capital expenditure for RWS 2.0. Mr Tan explained that the construction had just started, with substantial capital expenditure expected to be incurred in year 2024 and after.

Another shareholder noted that Thailand was considering legalising casinos and enquired if the Company would consider pursuing this opportunity. He also asked whether the Company would consider Yokohama again if there were changes in the political environment in three to four years. He further asked if there were any possibility for the Company to take the Nagasaki casino project away from an existing bidder. Chairman explained that although Japan has announced its approval for Osaka to have the first casino, the project is still subject to conclusion of an agreement between MGM Resorts International and its partners and the Osaka government. As for Yokohama, the locals have already voted against having a casino in the city. Nagasaki was not at the same stage as Osaka yet. Chairman commented that Management have made the decision not to pursue an integrated resort in Japan at the moment due to the uncertainty. Lastly, Thailand has yet to promulgate any process towards legalisation of casinos in Thailand. If it is worthwhile investment, the Board and Management would give it a careful consideration.

There being no further questions from shareholders, the Chairman proceeded to go through the Resolutions tabled at the Meeting.
