        </font></font><br style="line-height: 22.4pt;">
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: left; line-height: 17.7pt;"><font style="font-family: 'Manulife JH Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">TORONTO &#8211; Manulife Financial Corporation (&#8220;Manulife&#8221;) announced today that, subject to the approval of the Office of the
        Superintendent of Financial Institutions (&#8220;OSFI&#8221;) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (&#8220;TSX&#8221;), it intends to amend its existing Normal Course Issuer Bid (&#8220;NCIB&#8221;) to increase the number of common shares that it may repurchase for cancellation from 40
        million common shares (approximately 2% of shares outstanding) to 99 million common shares (approximately 5% of shares outstanding). To date, Manulife has completed the repurchase for cancellation of 30,586,449 common shares since the commencement
        of its current normal course issuer bid.</font></div>
    <div style="line-height: 17.7pt;"><br style="line-height: 17.7pt;">
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: left; line-height: 17.7pt;"><font style="font-family: 'Manulife JH Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">Manulife believes that the purchase of Manulife common shares at recent market prices is an appropriate investment by
        Manulife since, in its view, recent market prices do not reflect the underlying value of Manulife&#8217;s business. Continuing to have an NCIB in place will provide Manulife with the flexibility to purchase common shares as part of its capital management
        strategy which is designed to maintain healthy regulatory capital ratios while balancing the objective of generating shareholder value.</font></div>
    <div style="line-height: 17.7pt;"><br style="line-height: 17.7pt;">
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: left; line-height: 17.7pt;"><font style="font-family: 'Manulife JH Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">Manulife&#8217;s current normal course issuer bid commenced on November 14, 2018 and will continue until November 13, 2019, when
        the NCIB expires, or such earlier date as Manulife completes its purchases. Purchases under the NCIB may be made through the facilities of the TSX, the New York Stock Exchange, other designated exchanges and alternative trading systems in Canada
        and the United States at market prices prevailing at the time of purchase or such other price as may be permitted. Manulife will file an amended notice of intention to make an NCIB with the TSX. The amended bid will commence after OSFI approval has
        been received, and after the TSX has accepted the amended notice of intention, and continue until up to November 13, 2019. All common shares acquired by Manulife under the NCIB will be cancelled. Repurchases will be subject to compliance with
        applicable Canadian securities laws and United States federal securities laws.</font></div>
    <div style="line-height: 17.7pt;"><br style="line-height: 17.7pt;">
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: left; line-height: 17.7pt;"><font style="font-family: 'Manulife JH Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">In addition, Manulife may undertake repurchases of its common shares outside of Canada and the United States in compliance
        with applicable laws. Subject to regulatory approval, Manulife may also acquire common shares directly from other holders by way of private agreement pursuant to issuer bid exemption orders issued by applicable securities regulatory authorities.
        Any private purchase made under an exemption order issued by a securities regulatory authority will generally be at a discount to the prevailing market price. Manulife may also enter into derivative-based programs in support of its repurchase
        activities,</font></div>

    <div style="text-align: justify; line-height: 17.7pt;"><font style="font-family: 'Manulife JH Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">Manulife previously entered into an automatic share repurchase plan under which its designated broker will repurchase
        Manulife&#8217;s common shares pursuant to the NCIB, and the automatic plan will continue to apply to the amended NCIB. The actual number of common shares purchased under the automatic plan, the timing of such purchases and the price at which common
        shares are purchased will depend upon future market conditions. The automatic plan, which was pre-cleared by the TSX, provides for the potential repurchase of common shares at any time, including when Manulife ordinarily would not be active in the
        market due to its own internal trading blackout periods, insider trading rules, or otherwise.</font></div>

        and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual common share repurchases to differ materially from expectations include but are not limited to the fact that the
        amount and timing of any future common share repurchases will depend on the earnings, cash requirements and financial condition of Manulife, market conditions, capital requirements (including under LICAT capital standards), common share issuance
        requirements, applicable law and regulations (including Canadian and U.S. securities laws and Canadian insurance company regulations), and other factors deemed relevant by Manulife, and may be subject to regulatory approval or conditions.</font></div>
