About the Proposed Melco Investment and MelcoLot Investment

Maple Peak plans to acquire from the open market that number of Melco Shares equal to $2,375,000 divided by the last closing price of the Melco Shares on SEHK and that number of MelcoLot Shares equal to $125,000 divided by the last closing price of the MelcoLot Shares on GEM.

Completion of the Melco Investment and the MelcoLot Investment are conditional upon all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals, including final approval of the Exchange.

Shareholder Approval and Meeting

Both the Melco Investment and the MelcoLot Investment may be considered a "Related Party Transaction" (as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101")) due to Mr. Lawrence Yau Lung Ho currently also serving as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco and Dennis Chi-Wai Tam and Samuel Yuen-Wai Tsang currently also serving as executive directors of MelcoLot.

As the Transactions may each be considered a Related Party Transaction, accordingly, the Transactions require (among other things) Majority of the Minority Shareholder Approval (as such term is defined in MI 61-101) at the Meeting (as defined below). As a result, the Transactions are conditional upon (among other things) being approved at the Meeting by a Majority of the Minority Shareholder Approval. MI 61-101 further provides that, unless exempted, an issuer proposing to carry out a Related Party Transaction is required to engage an independent valuator to prepare a formal valuation of the affected securities and to provide to the holders of the affected securities a summary of such valuation. In connection with the Transactions, an exemption from this valuation requirement is available pursuant to MI 61-101, because none of the securities of Maple Peak are listed or quoted on any of the exchanges or markets listed in MI 61-101. Maple Peak expects to call a special meeting of shareholders of Maple Peak ("Meeting") to consider (among other matters) the Majority of the Minority Shareholder Approval of the Melco Investment and MelcoLot Investment.

Management Information Circular filed on SEDAR

Maple Peak expect to prepare a management information circular setting out the purposes of and the required approvals to be passed at the Meeting (the "Circular"), which shall be filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) pursuant to Exchange requirements in connection with the Melco Investment and the MelcoLot Investment. The Circular shall be the disclosure document that outlines, among other items, the details of the Melco Investment and MelcoLot Investment, information about Maple Peak, Meclo and MelcoLot and their respective business, including financial statements of Maple Peak and other financial information relating to Maple Peak, Melco and MelcoLot.
