ANNOUNCEMENT IN RELATION TO

NCL CORPORATION LTD.

Reference is made to the announcement of Genting Hong Kong Limited (the “Company”) dated 27 October 2010 in respect of the proposed initial public offering of the ordinary shares of NCL Corporation Ltd. (“NCLC”).

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) would like to update the shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholders”) and/or other investors that a preliminary prospectus


(the “Preliminary Prospectus”) of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (the “Issuer”) has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). NCLC notified the Company that the proposed initial public offering of the ordinary shares of the Issuer (the “Offering”) commenced on 8 January 2013.

In connection with the consummation of the Offering, NCLC’s outstanding ordinary shares will be exchanged for the ordinary shares of the Issuer, a newly formed holding company, and, as a result, the Issuer will become the owner of 100% of the ordinary shares of NCLC (the “Corporate Reorganization”).

According to the Preliminary Prospectus, the Issuer is expected to offer up to 27,058,824 ordinary shares (including the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares), par value US$0.001 per share, in its initial public offering. The Issuer expects the initial public offering price to be between US$16.00 and US$18.00 per ordinary share and intends to list its ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “NCLH”.

As of the date hereof, the Company indirectly holds fifty per cent (50%) of the issued shares of NCLC. The Company does not currently intend to offer any of its equity interests for sale in the Offering. Based upon the information contained in the Preliminary Prospectus and assuming an initial public offering price of US$17.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus, the percentage of the ordinary shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Company is expected to be diluted to 44.1% (assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares) or 43.4% (assuming full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares) following the Corporate Reorganization and the consummation of the Offering, as a result of the issue of new ordinary shares by the Issuer in the Offering. Upon the consummation of Offering, the ordinary shares of NCLC owned by the Issuer are expected to represent a 97.4% economic interest in NCLC, based on the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus.

The Issuer is a company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda. The Issuer will not, prior to the completion of the Corporate Reorganization, conduct any activities other than those incidental to its formation and to preparations for the Corporate Reorganization and the Offering. The Issuer has only nominal assets and no liabilities prior to the consummation of the Corporate Reorganization and the Offering.

The Board wishes to highlight to the Shareholders that there is no assurance that the Offering will be completed. The listing timetable and particulars of the Offering are yet to be confirmed and finalized. Shareholders and/or other investors are reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company. If the Offering is completed, a further announcement will be made by the Company.

In the event that Shareholders and/or other investors are in doubt when dealing in the securities of the Company, they should consult their stockbrokers, bank managers, solicitors, accountants or other professional advisers.
