FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MCE FINANCE LIMITED ANNOUNCES CONSENT SOLICITATION FOR ITS

5.00% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2021

MACAU—Monday, July 11, 2016: MCE Finance Limited (the “Company”) today announced that it has commenced a consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) seeking consents from holders of its outstanding 5.00% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) to certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Notes. The Notes are listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited.

The Consent Solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 29, 2016, unless extended or terminated by the Company (the “Expiration Date”).

The Company is seeking consents to amend the definition of “Change of Control” and related provisions following the announcement by Crown Resorts Limited (formerly known as Crown Limited), a major shareholder of the Company’s parent Melco Crown Entertainment Limited, that it intends to spin off certain of its non-Australian assets to a separately listed holding company.

The Company is offering an early consent fee of US$5.00 for each US$1,000 in principal amount of the Notes in respect of which a holder properly consents to the amendments by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on July 22, 2016 (as such time and date may be extended, the “Early Consent Deadline”). The Company is offering a late consent fee of US$2.00 for each US$1,000 in principal amount of the Notes in respect of which a holder properly consents to the amendments after the Early Consent Deadline but on or before the Expiration Date. The Company’s obligation to accept consents and pay the applicable consent fee is conditioned on, among other things, there being validly delivered (and not validly revoked), with respect to the proposed amendments, consents from holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

The terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitation are fully described in the Consent Solicitation Statement, dated July 11, 2016, which the Company is delivering to holders of the Notes. D.F. King is acting as the Information and Tabulation Agent for the Consent Solicitation. The Company has engaged Merrill Lynch (Asia Pacific) Limited to act as the sole solicitation agent for the Consent Solicitation. Questions regarding the Consent Solicitation or requests for additional copies of the Consent Solicitation Statement or other related documents should be directed to D.F. King, at Suite 1601, 16/F, Central Tower, 28 Queen’s Road Central, Central, Hong Kong (HK: +852 3953 7230, UK: +44 20 7920 9700, US: +1 212 269 5550) or Merrill Lynch (Asia Pacific) Limited, at 38/F Cheung Kong Center, 2 Queen’s Road Central, Central, Hong Kong (+852 3508 7913, +852 3508 3514, +852 3508 8175).

This press release is not a solicitation of consent with respect to any Notes. The Consent Solicitation is being made solely by the Consent Solicitation Statement.
