VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT

UNAUDITED OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS (GAMING)

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The board of directors (the "Board") of NagaCorp Ltd. (the "Company") is pleased to announce the unaudited operational highlights of the gaming branch of the Group for the three months ended 31 March 2021. This is a voluntary announcement made by the Company to provide the shareholders and potential investors of the Company with a business update and the information contained in this announcement is based on a preliminary assessment of the Group and the information currently available to the Company and is not based on any figure or information which has been audited or reviewed by the auditor of the Company.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution and not to place undue reliance on such information when dealing in the securities of the Company.

Operational Highlights

The Company together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group"), have continued to record recovery of the gaming business volumes in the first quarter of 2021 ("1Q2021"), prior to 20 February 2021 COVID-19 community spread incident, public floor tables average daily buy-ins and electronic gaming machines ("EGM") average daily bills-in recorded recovery rate (compared to the period of 1Q2020) of about 99%. Furthermore, Mass Market segment average daily volume recorded positive sequential growth compared to the second half of 2020 ("2H2020"), which reflects the gradual growth trend observed, whereby public floor table average daily buy-ins and EGM average daily bills-in grew by 5.2% and 3.6%, respectively, compared to the respective average daily volume recorded in 2H2020.

The recovery of the Mass Market segment business volumes was largely contributed by a reasonably sized expatriate community and to some extent, visitors from East Asia (mainly from China, South Korea and Taiwan) patronising NagaWorld in search of entertainment. With its attractive and quality facilities and located strategically in the city-centre, NagaWorld has since its inception been the focal point of leisure and entertainment activities in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Despite the regional travel restrictions and reduction in most international flights, the Group's Mass Market segment remains stable.

The Group's 1Q2021 business volumes recovery is indicated in the following table:
