Financial Corporation (&#147;Manulife&#148;) announced today that it has entered into an automatic share repurchase plan (the &#147;automatic plan&#148;) under which its designated broker will repurchase Manulife&#146;s common shares pursuant to its
previously announced normal course issuer bid (&#147;NCIB&#148;). 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 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-cleared</FONT> 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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Caution regarding forward-looking statements </B></P>

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to possible future purchases by Manulife of its common shares. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements
involve risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements, 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 </P>
