INSIDE INFORMATION

OPENING OF MGM COTAI

This announcement is made by MGM China Holdings Limited (the “Company”) pursuant to Rule 13.09(2)(a) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and the Inside Information Provisions (as defined in the Listing Rules) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

The Company announces that MGM COTAI, an integrated casino, hotel and entertainment resort located in Cotai, Macau, is now expected to open during the second half of 2017. Given the complexity of the design of MGM COTAI and the Company’s commitment to a successful opening that reflects the demands of the current market, the expected opening time of MGM COTAI will be adjusted from the second quarter of 2017 to the second half of 2017. However, ultimately, the final opening date of MGM COTAI will also be subject to obtaining the required government approvals.

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

By Order of the Board
