FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Studio City Finance Limited Announces Senior Notes Offering

November 7, 2012—Melco Crown Entertainment Limited (“Melco Crown Entertainment” or “the Company”) (SEHK: 6883) (NASDAQ: MPEL), a developer, owner and, through its subsidiary Melco Crown Gaming (Macau) Limited, operator of casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities focused on the Macau market, announces that its subsidiary, Studio City Finance Limited (“SCF”) intends to conduct an international offering of senior notes due 2020 and the net proceeds from the proposed offering will be used for the Studio City project.

SCF is a subsidiary of Studio City International Holdings Limited (“SCI”), which is indirectly owned by Melco Crown Entertainment as to 60% and directly owned by New Cotai, LLC (“New Cotai”) as to 40%.

The notes will be senior obligations of SCF, will rank equally with all of SCF’s existing and future senior indebtedness and will rank senior to all of SCF’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The notes will be effectively subordinated to all of SCF’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The notes will initially be guaranteed by all of the subsidiaries of SCF on a senior basis. Melco Crown Entertainment will not be a guarantor for the notes.

The interest rate and other terms of the notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the offering.

The notes are being offered in the United States to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) that are also qualified purchasers as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, and outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state law. SCF does not intend to register any portion of the offering of the notes in the United States.

Nothing in this announcement constitutes an offer to buy, or a solicitation of an offer to sell, securities in the United States or any other jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation would be unlawful. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
