DECLARATION AND PAYMENT OF QUARTERLY DIVIDEND

Melco Crown Entertainment Limited (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that on August 7, 2014, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) considered and approved the declaration and payment of a quarterly dividend of US$0.0259 per ordinary share of the Company for the second quarter of 2014 (the “Quarterly Dividend”).

The Quarterly Dividend will be paid on or about September 4, 2014 to the shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholders”) whose names appear on the register of members of the Company at the close of business on August 25, 2014, being the record date for determination of entitlements to the Quarterly Dividend.

The register of members of the Company will be closed from August 22, 2014 to August 25, 2014 (both days inclusive) for the purpose of determining the entitlements of the Shareholders to the Quarterly Dividend, during which period no transfer of shares in the Company will be effected. In order to qualify for the Quarterly Dividend, all transfers, accompanied by the relevant share certificates, must be lodged with the Company’s Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, no later than 4:30 p.m. on August 21, 2014.

The payment of the Quarterly Dividend will be made in Hong Kong dollars for the Shareholders and in United States dollars for the holders of American Depositary Share(s) of the Company (“ADS”), each of which presents three ordinary shares. The Quarterly Dividend in Hong Kong Dollars will be paid to the Shareholders based on an exchange rate of US$1.00 to HK$7.7503 (representing the average of selling and buying telegraphic transfer rates quoted by The Hong Kong Association of Banks in Hong Kong on August 7, 2014). Accordingly, the Quarterly Dividend in Hong Kong dollars will be approximately HK$0.2007 per ordinary share.

The Quarterly Dividend of approximately US$0.0777 per ADS, less any applicable fees and charges, will be paid on or about September 4, 2014 by the depositary, in cash in US dollars, to ADS holders of record as of August 25, 2014 in accordance with the deposit agreement.
