Another discretionary award offered by Melco to its employees is the best-in-class ÒMelco Employee Loyalty ProgramÓ introduced in 2014.

In July 2018, eligible employees will receive the final payment of the ÒGolden Nest EggÓ. Melco is the first and only company in Macau to have offered such incentive to its non-management employees.

MrÊLawrence Ho, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Melco Resorts & Entertainment, said, ÒMelco’s employees are our strongest asset, as a token of our heartfelt thanks for their unfailing dedication, contribution and loyalty, we are pleased to announce a discretionary bonus and a competitive pay increment to our employees. With extensive upgrades to our integrated resort offerings, culminating in the unveiling of Morpheus this year, I trust that together, we will further solidify our leadership position in the industry to make 2018 a fruitful and rewarding year.Ó
