<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>TORONTO</B> &#150; Manulife has been notified of an unsolicited mini-tender offer made by Obatan LLC (Obatan) to purchase up to 100,000 Manulife common shares, or
approximately 0.005% of the common shares outstanding, at a price of USD$12.00 per share. Manulife does not endorse this unsolicited offer, is in no way associated with Obatan, and makes no recommendation as to whether shareholders should tender
their shares in response to the offer. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Manulife cautions shareholders that the mini-tender offer has been made at a price below the current market price for
Manulife shares. The offer represents a discount of 27.05% and 27.01%, respectively, below the closing prices of Manulife common shares on the TSX and NYSE on November&nbsp;20, 2020, the last trading day before the mini-tender offer was commenced,
and a discount of 34.07% and 34.17%, respectively, below the closing prices on the TSX and NYSE on December&nbsp;4, 2020. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Mini-tender offers are designed to seek
less than 5% of a company&#146;s outstanding shares, avoiding disclosure and procedural requirements applicable to most bids under Canadian and U.S. securities regulations. The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) and the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) have expressed serious concerns about mini-tender offers, including the possibility that investors might tender to such offers without understanding the offer price relative to the actual market price of their securities.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The SEC states that &#147;bidders make mini-tender offers at below-market prices, hoping that they will catch investors off guard if the investors do not compare
the offer price to the current market price.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">According to Obatan&#146;s offer documents, Manulife shareholders who have already tendered their shares can
withdraw their shares at any time before 8:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time of December&nbsp;31, 2020 by following the procedures described in the offer documents. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Shareholders should consult their investment advisors regarding any offer they may receive and review with their advisors all options for their investment in Manulife
shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Manulife has stock transfer agents providing shareholder services in Canada, the United States, Hong Kong and the Philippines. These local agents provide
services directly to our registered shareholders and can provide information on share account management, direct deposit of dividends, dividend </P>
