This announcement is made by Carnival Group International Holdings Limited (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") pursuant to Rule 13.09 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the "Listing Rules") on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange"), 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) and Rule 13.10 of the Listing Rules.

Reference is made to (i) the announcement of the Company dated 31 March 2021 relating to, among others, the publication of the unaudited annual results of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020; and (ii) the announcement of the Company dated 29 April 2021 relating to, among others, the postponement of meeting of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") to 14 May 2021 (the "Board Meeting") to approve, among others, the audited annual results of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020 (the "2020 Annual Results") and the delay in publication of the 2020 Annual Results and the delay in despatch of the 2020 Annual Report to 14 May 2021 and 31 May 2021 respectively (the "Delay Announcement").

As disclosed in the Delay Announcement, the auditing process for the 2020 Annal Results was expected to be completed on or before 14 May 2021. As certain material loan and bank confirmation have not yet been received by the auditors of the Company, additional time is required for the auditors of the Company to complete its audit procedures. The Company wishes to update the Shareholders and potential investors that the auditing process is expected to be completed on or before 28 May 2021, and therefore, the Board Meeting will be further postponed to 28 May 2021.

As a result, the Company is unable to publish the 2020 Annual Results which shall have been agreed with the Auditors by 14 May 2021. It is expected that 2020 Annual Results will be published on 28 May 2021 and the 2020 Annual Report will be despatched on or before 31 May 2021.

The Board acknowledges that the delay in publication of the 2020 Annual Results and the delay in despatch of the 2020 Annual Report will constitute non-compliance with Rules 13.49(1) and 13.46(1)(a) of the Listing Rules.

CONTINUED SUSPENSION OF TRADING

Trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange has been suspended with effect from 9:00 a.m. on 30 April 2021 pending the publication of the announcement in relation to the 2020 Annual Results.

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