<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Management&#8217;s discussion of</FONT></B><BR><FONT size=7 face=serif>Fund performance</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>By John Hancock Asset Management a division of Manulife Asset Management (US) LLC</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>In the </FONT></B><FONT size=2 face=serif>broad market, stocks managed positive returns during a volatile 12-month period ended October 31, 2011. Equities initially benefited from stimulative monetary and fiscal policies. But an escalating series of crises &#8212; including the European sovereign debt crisis, the U.S. Treasury debt downgrade and worries about the pace of the economic recovery &#8212; meant stocks endured some very difficult months. Equity markets finished the fiscal year with a sharp rebound in October. In that environment, bank stocks had negative returns and lagged the market. For the 12 months, the S&amp;P Composite 1500 Banks Index returned &#8211;1.86%. By comparison, the S&amp;P 500 Stock Index gained 8.09%. For the year ended October 31, 2011, John Hancock Bank and Thrift Opportunity Fund posted total returns of &#8211;1.81% at net asset value and 0.76% at market value. The difference in the Fund&#8217;s net asset value (NAV) performance and its market performance stems from the fact that the market share price is subject to the dynamics of secondary market trading, which could cause it to trade at a discount or premium to the Fund&#8217;s NAV share price at any time. The average open-end specialty-financial fund tracked by Morningstar, Inc. returned &#8211;6.80%.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The leading detractors from performance were the large, diversified financial services firms in the Fund&#8217;s portfolio: Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase &amp; Company. These two businesses were big enough to have exposure to several different challenges or currents buffeting the sector simultaneously. It also hurt performance to hold stakes in several mid- to smaller-sized banks that underperformed, including Comerica, Inc., Zions Bancorporation, SunTrust Banks, Inc. and TCF Financial Corp. Many of the leading contributors to performance were positions in smaller, high-quality regional lenders in healthier local economies. Pursuant to a managed distribution plan adopted in March 2010, the Fund makes quarterly distributions equal to 1.25% of the Fund&#8217;s net asset value, based upon an annual rate of 5.00% as of the measuring date. In accordance with this plan, the Fund announced quarterly distributions of $0.2113, $0.2380, $0.2384, and $0.2191 to shareholders of record as of December 13, 2010, March 11, 2011, June 13, 2011 and September 12, 2011, respectively.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>This commentary reflects the views of the portfolio managers through the end of the Fund&#8217;s period discussed in this report. The managers&#8217; statements reflect their own opinions. As such, they are in no way guarantees of future events, and are not intended to be used as investment advice or a recommendation regarding any specific security.

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>John Hancock Bank and Thrift Opportunity Fund (the Fund) is a closed-end diversified management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act).</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Note 2 &#8212; Significant accounting policies</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>Security valuation. </FONT></B><FONT size=2 face=serif>Investments are stated at value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 </FONT><FONT size=1 face=serif>P</FONT><FONT size=2 face=serif>.</FONT><FONT size=1 face=serif>M</FONT><FONT size=2 face=serif>.</FONT><FONT size=2 face=serif>, Eastern Time. The Fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes securities valued using significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the Fund&#8217;s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.</FONT></P>

Certain securities traded only in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last bid price quoted by brokers making markets in the securities at the close of trading. Certain short-term securities are valued at amortized cost. Other portfolio securities and assets, where market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Fund&#8217;s Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Board of Trustees.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>Repurchase agreements. </FONT></B><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. When the Fund enters into a repurchase agreement, it receives collateral which is held in a segregated account by the Fund&#8217;s custodian. The collateral amount is marked-to-market and monitored on a daily basis to ensure that the collateral held is in an amount not less than the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus any accrued interest. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the collateral value may decline.</FONT></P>

However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization/accretion of premiums/discounts on debt securities. Debt obligations may be placed in a non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by stopping current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Dividend reinvestment plan</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board of Trustees approved certain amendments to the Fund&#8217;s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. </FONT><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Dividend Reinvestment Plan that is in effect as of July 1, 2011 is described below.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Fund&#8217;s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the Plan) provides that distributions of dividends and capital gains are automatically reinvested in common shares of the Fund by The Bank of New York Mellon (the Plan Agent). Every shareholder holding at least one full share of the Fund is entitled to participate in the Plan. In addition, every shareholder who became a shareholder of the Fund after June 30, 2011 and holds at least one full share of the Fund will be automatically enrolled in the Plan. Shareholders may withdraw from the Plan at any time and shareholders who do not participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>If the Fund declares a dividend or distribution, participants will receive shares purchased by the Plan Agent on participants&#8217; behalf on the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) or otherwise on the open market. Whenever shares are purchased or sold on the NYSE or otherwise on the open market, each participant will pay a pro rata portion of brokerage trading fees, currently $0.05 per share purchased or sold. Brokerage trading fees will be deducted from amounts to be invested.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The reinvestment of dividends and net capital gains distributions does not relieve participants of any income tax that may be payable on such dividends or distributions.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>Shareholders participating in the Plan may buy additional shares of the Fund through the Plan at any time in amounts of at least $50 per investment, up to a maximum of $10,000, with a total calendar year limit of $100,000. Shareholders will be charged a $5 transaction fee plus $0.05 per share brokerage trading fee for each order. Purchases of additional shares of the Fund will be made on the open market. Shareholders who elect to utilize monthly electronic fund transfers to buy additional shares of the Fund will be charged a $2 transaction fee plus $0.05 per share brokerage trading fee for each automatic purchase. Shareholders can also sell Fund shares held in the Plan account at any time by contacting the Plan Agent by telephone, in writing or by visiting the Plan Agent&#8217;s Web site at www.bnymellon.com/shareowner/equityaccess. The Plan Agent will mail a check to you (less applicable brokerage trading fees) on settlement date, which is three business days after your shares have been sold. If you choose to sell your shares through your stockbroker, you will need to request that the Plan Agent electronically transfer your shares to your stockbroker through the Direct Registration System.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>Shareholders participating in the Plan may withdraw from the Plan at any time by contacting the&nbsp;Plan Agent by telephone, in writing or by visiting the Plan Agent&#8217;s Web site at www.bnymellon.com/shareowner/equityaccess. Such termination will be effective immediately if the notice is received by the Plan Agent prior to any dividend or distribution record date; otherwise, such termination will be effective on the first trading day after the payment date for such dividend or distribution, with respect to any subsequent dividend or distribution. If you withdraw, your shares will be credited to your account; or, if you wish, the Plan Agent will sell your full and fractional shares and send you the proceeds, less a transaction fee of $5.00 and less brokerage trading fees of $0.05 per share. If a shareholder does not maintain at least one whole share of common stock in the Plan account, the Plan Agent may terminate such shareholder&#8217;s participation in the Plan after written notice. Upon termination, shareholders will be sent a check for the cash value of any fractional share in the Plan account, less any applicable broker commissions and taxes.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>Shareholders who hold at least one full share of the Fund may join the Plan by notifying the&nbsp;Plan&nbsp;Agent by telephone, in writing or by visiting the Plan Agent&#8217;s Web site at www.bnymellon.com/shareowner/equityaccess. If received in proper form by the Plan Agent before the record date of a dividend, the election will be effective with respect to all dividends</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board of Trustees (the Board, the members of which are referred to as Trustees) of John Hancock Bank and Thrift Opportunity Fund (the Fund) met in-person on May 1&#8211;3 and June 5&#8211;7, 2011 to consider the approval of the Fund&#8217;s investment advisory agreement (the Advisory Agreement) with John Hancock Advisers, LLC (the Adviser), the Fund&#8217;s investment adviser. The Board also considered the approval of the investment subadvisory agreement (the Subadvisory Agreement) among the Adviser, Manulife Asset Management (US) LLC (the Subadviser) and the Fund. The Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement are referred to as the Agreements.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>Activities and composition of the Board</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board consists of eleven individuals, nine of whom are Independent Trustees. Independent Trustees are generally those individuals who are not employed by or have any significant business or professional relationship with the Adviser or the Subadviser. The Trustees are responsible for the oversight of operations of the Fund and perform various duties required of directors of investment companies by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The Independent Trustees have hired independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Board has appointed an Independent Trustee as Chairperson. The Board has established four standing committees that are composed entirely of Independent Trustees: the Audit Committee; the Compliance Committee; the Nominating, Governance and Administration Committee; and the Contracts/Operations Committee. Additionally, Investment Performance Committee A is a standing committee of the Board that is composed of Independent Trustees and one Trustee who is affiliated with the Adviser. Investment Performance Committee A oversees and monitors matters relating to the investment performance of the Fund. The Board has also designated an Independent Trustee as Vice Chairperson to serve in the absence of the Chairperson. The Board also designates working groups or ad hoc committees as it deems appropriate.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>The approval process</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>Under the 1940 Act, the Board is required to consider the continuation of the Agreements each year. Throughout the year, the Board, acting directly and through its committees, regularly reviews and assesses the quality of the services that the Fund receives under these Agreements. The Board reviews reports of the Adviser at least quarterly, which include Fund performance reports and compliance reports. In addition, the Board meets with portfolio managers and senior investment officers at various times throughout the year. The Board considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the services and support provided by the Adviser and Subadviser to the Fund and its shareholders.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>Prior to the May 1&#8211;3, 2011 meeting, the Board requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The materials provided in connection with the May meeting included information compiled and prepared by Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar) on Fund fees and expenses, and the investment performance of the Fund. This Fund information is assembled in a format that permits comparison with similar information from a Peer Group, as determined by Morningstar, and with the Fund&#8217;s benchmark index. The Peer Group represents funds that invest similarly to the way the Fund invests and funds of similar size, excluding passively managed funds and funds-of-funds. The Fund&#8217;s benchmark index is an unmanaged index of securities that is provided as a basis for comparison with the Fund&#8217;s performance. Other material provided for the Fund review included (a) information on the profitability of the Agreements to the Adviser and a discussion of any additional benefits to the Adviser or Subadviser or their affiliates that result from being the Adviser or Subadviser to the Fund; (b) a general analysis provided by the Adviser and the Subadviser concerning investment advisory fees charged to other clients, such as institutional clients and other investment companies, having similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of those other clients and a comparison of the services provided to those other clients and the services provided to the Fund; (c) the impact of</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>At an in-person meeting held on June 5&#8211;7, 2011, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, formally considered the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Fund and the Subadvisory Agreement among the Fund, the Adviser and the Subadviser, each for an additional one-year term.

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board also considered other matters important to the approval process, such as payments made to and by the Adviser or its affiliates relating to the distribution of Fund shares and other services.

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board considered the ability of the Adviser and the Subadviser, based on their resources, reputation and other attributes, to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. It considered the background and experience of senior management and investment professionals responsible for managing the Fund. The Board considered the investment philosophy, research and investment decision-making processes of the Adviser and the Subadviser responsible for the daily investment activities of the Fund, including, among other things, portfolio trading capabilities, use of technology, commitment to compliance and approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under separate agreements.

The Board considered the significant differences between the Adviser&#8217;s and Subadviser&#8217;s services to the Fund and the services they provide to other clients. For other clients that are not closed-end funds, the differences in services relate to the more burdensome regulatory and legal obligations of closed-end funds, the enhanced management and oversight arising from the public trading of Fund shares on an exchange and the generally higher turnover of closed-end fund portfolio holdings. When compared to all clients including mutual funds, the Adviser has greater oversight and supervisory responsibility for the Fund and undertakes greater entrepreneurial risk as the sponsor of the Fund.</FONT></P>

The Board also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Morningstar data that was prepared by the Adviser, which analyzed various factors that may affect the Morningstar rankings. The Board reviewed information regarding the investment performance of the Fund as compared to its Morningstar Peer Group as well as its benchmark index (see chart below). The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used by Morningstar to select the funds in the Peer Group. The Board also considered updated performance information provided by the Adviser at its May and June 2011 meetings.

<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board viewed favorably the Adviser&#8217;s agreement to limit its fees to maintain the accounting and legal services fees to 0.10% of the Fund&#8217;s average weekly assets.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board received and reviewed statements relating to the Adviser&#8217;s financial condition and was also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by the Adviser for services under the Advisory Agreement, as well as from other relationships between the Fund and the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board reviewed the Adviser&#8217;s profitability with respect to the Fund and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Board reviewed the Adviser&#8217;s profitability with respect to other fund complexes managed by the Adviser and/or its affiliates. The Board reviewed the Adviser&#8217;s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board also considered a comparison of the Adviser&#8217;s profitability to that of other similar investment advisers whose profitability information is publicly available. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Adviser, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat limited.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board considered the profitability information with respect to the Subadviser, which is affiliated with the Adviser. In addition, as noted above, the Board considered the assumptions and methodology for allocating expenses in the Subadviser&#8217;s profitability analysis.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>Economies of scale</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of the Fund increase. Possible changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to participate in these economies of scale (</FONT><I><FONT size=2 face=serif>e.g.</FONT></I><FONT size=2 face=serif>, through the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee at higher asset levels) are periodically discussed. The Board also considered the Adviser&#8217;s overall operations and its ongoing investment in its business in order to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations that benefit the Fund.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board recognized the inherent limitations of any analysis of economies of scale, stemming largely from the Board&#8217;s understanding that most of the Adviser&#8217;s costs are not specific to individual funds, but rather are incurred across a variety of products and services.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board understands that the Adviser, the Subadviser or their affiliates may derive other ancillary benefits from their relationship with the Fund, both tangible and intangible, such as their ability to leverage investment professionals who manage other portfolios, an increase in their profile in the investment advisory community and the engagement of their affiliates and/or significant shareholders as service providers to the Fund, including for administrative and distribution services. The Board believes that certain of these benefits are difficult to quantify. The Board also was informed that the Subadviser may use third-party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain mutual fund transactions to assist itself in managing all or a number of its other client accounts.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>Board determination</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Fund for an additional one-year term. The Subadvisory Agreement among the Fund, the Adviser and the Subadviser was also approved for an additional one-year term. Based upon its evaluation of relevant factors in their totality, the Board was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements, including the advisory and subadvisory fee rates, were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. In arriving at its decision to approve the Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or any group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together. Different Trustees may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Trustees were also assisted by independent legal counsel in making this determination. The Trustees&#8217; conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years and on their ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>When a portfolio manager is responsible for the management of more than one account, the potential arises for the portfolio manager to favor one account over another. For the reasons outlined below, the Fund does not believe that any material conflicts are likely to arise out of a portfolio manager&#8217;s responsibility for the management of the Fund as well as one or more other accounts. The Adviser and the Subadviser have adopted procedures, overseen by the Chief Compliance Officer, that are intended to monitor compliance with the policies referred to in the following paragraphs:</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>&#8226; The Subadviser has policies that require a portfolio manager to allocate investment opportunities in an equitable manner and generally to allocate such investments proportionately among all accounts with similar investment objectives.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>&#8226; When a portfolio manager intends to trade the same security for more than one account, the policies of the Subadviser generally require that such trades for the individual accounts are aggregated so each account receives the same price. Where not possible or may not result in the best possible price, the Subadviser will place the order in a manner intended to result in as favorable a price as possible for such client.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>&#8226; The investment performance on specific accounts is not a factor in determining the portfolio manager&#8217;s compensation. See &#8220;Compensation of Portfolio Managers&#8221; below. Neither the Adviser nor the Subadviser receives a performance-based fee with respect any accounts managed by the Fund&#8217;s portfolio manager.</FONT></P></DIV>

However, where a portfolio manager is responsible for accounts with differing investment objectives and policies, it is possible that the portfolio manager will conclude that it is in the best interest of one account to sell a portfolio security while another account continues to hold or increase the holding in such security.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=1 face=sans-serif>Compensation of portfolio managers</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Subadviser has adopted a system of compensation for portfolio managers and others involved in the investment process that is applied systematically among investment professionals. At the Subadviser, the structure of compensation of investment professionals is currently comprised of the following basic components: base salary and an annual investment bonus plan as well as customary benefits that are offered generally to all full-time employees of the Subadviser. A limited number of senior investment professionals, who serve as officers of both the Subadviser and its parent company, may also receive options or restricted stock grants of common shares of Manulife Financial. The following describes each component of the compensation package for the individuals identified as a portfolio manager for the Funds.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>Base salary. Base compensation is fixed and normally reevaluated on an annual basis. The Subadviser seeks to set compensation at market rates, taking into account the experience and responsibilities of the investment professional.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>Investment Bonus Plan. Only investment professionals are eligible to participate in the Investment Bonus Plan. Under the plan, investment professionals are eligible for an annual bonus. The plan is intended to provide a competitive level of annual bonus compensation that is tied to the investment professional achieving superior investment performance and aligns the financial incentives of the Subadviser and the investment professional. Any bonus under the plan is completely discretionary, with a maximum annual bonus that may be well in excess of base salary. Payout of a portion of this bonus may be deferred for up to five years. While the amount of any bonus is discretionary, the following factors are generally used in determining bonuses under the plan:</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>&#8226; Investment Performance: The investment performance of all accounts managed by the investment professional over one- and three-year periods are considered. The pre-tax performance of each account is measured relative to an appropriate peer group benchmark (for example a Morningstar large cap growth peer group if the fund invests primarily in large cap stocks with a growth strategy). With respect to fixed income accounts, relative yields are also used to measure performance.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>&#8226; The Profitability of the Subadviser: The profitability of the Subadviser and its parent company are also considered in determining bonus awards.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>&#8226; Non-Investment Performance: To a lesser extent, intangible contributions, including the investment professional&#8217;s support of client service and sales activities, new fund/strategy idea generation, professional growth and development, and management, where applicable, are also evaluated when determining bonus awards.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>Options and Stock Grants. A limited number of senior investment professionals may receive options to purchase shares of Manulife Financial stock. Generally, such option would permit the investment professional to purchase a set amount of stock at the market price on the date of grant. The option can be exercised for a set period (normally a number of years or until termination of employment) and the investment professional would exercise the option if the market value of Manulife Financial stock increases. Some investment professionals may receive restricted stock grants, where the investment professional is entitle to receive the stock at no or nominal cost, provided that the stock is forgone if the investment professional&#8217;s employment is terminated prior to a vesting date.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=serif>The Subadviser also permits investment professionals to participate on a voluntary basis in a deferred compensation plan, under which the investment professional may elect on an annual basis to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation until retirement. Participation in the plan is voluntary.</FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt" face="'Times New Roman'" color=black>A &#147;conflict of interest&#148; occurs when a Covered Officer&#146;s private interest interferes with the interests of, or his service to, the Fund.&nbsp; For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Fund. Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between the Covered Officers and the Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the &#147;Investment Company Act&#148;) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the &#147;Investment Advisers Act&#148;). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their status as &#147;affiliated persons&#148; of the Fund. Each of the Covered Officers is an officer or employee of the investment adviser or a service provider (&#147;Service Provider&#148;) to the Fund. The Fund&#146;s, the investment adviser&#146;s and the Service Provider&#146;s compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.</FONT></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt" face="'Times New Roman'" color=black></FONT>&nbsp;</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt" face="'Times New Roman'" color=black>Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Fund and the investment adviser and the Service Provider of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Fund, for the investment adviser or for the Service Provider), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions which will have different effects on the investment adviser, the Service Provider and the Fund. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Fund and the investment adviser and the Service Provider and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund. Thus, if such participation is performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, it will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Fund&#146;s Board of Trustees/Directors (the &#147;Board&#148;) that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by other Codes.</FONT></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt" face="'Times New Roman'" color=black>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt" face="'Times New Roman'" color=black>Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but the Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of an Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Fund. </FONT></P>

Each adviser to a fund retains the responsibility, and is directed, to oversee each subadviser&#146;s compliance with these policies and procedures, and to adopt and implement such additional policies and procedures as it deems necessary or appropriate to discharge its oversight responsibility. Additionally, the Trust&#146;s Chief Compliance Officer (&#147;CCO&#148;) shall conduct such monitoring and supervisory activities as the CCO or the Board deems necessary or appropriate in order to appropriately discharge the CCO&#146;s role in overseeing the subadvisers&#146; compliance with these policies and procedures.</FONT></P><P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>The delegation by the Board of the authority to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the funds is entirely voluntary and may be revoked by the Board, in whole or in part, at any time.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>If: (1) a subadviser to a fund becomes aware that a vote presents a material conflict between the interests of: (a) shareholders of the fund; and (b) the fund&#146;s adviser, subadviser, principal underwriter, or any of their affiliated persons, and (2) the subadviser does not propose to vote on the particular issue in the manner prescribed by its Subadviser Policy or the material conflict of interest procedures set forth in its Subadviser Policy are otherwise triggered, then the subadviser will follow the material conflict of interest procedures set forth in its Subadviser Policy when voting such proxies.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>If a Subadviser Policy provides that in the case of a material conflict of interest between fund shareholders and another party, the subadviser will ask the Board to provide voting instructions, the subadviser shall vote the proxies, in its discretion, as recommended by an independent third party, in the manner prescribed by its Subadviser Policy or abstain from voting the proxies.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Securities Lending Program</FONT></B></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Certain of the funds participate in a securities lending program with the Trust through an agent lender. When a fund&#146;s securities are out on loan, they are transferred into the borrower&#146;s name and are voted by the borrower, in its discretion. Where a subadviser determines, however, that a proxy vote (or other shareholder action) is materially important to the client&#146;s account, the subadviser should request that the agent recall the security prior to the record date to allow the subadviser to vote the securities.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=3 face=serif>General Criteria</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>1. Nominees should have a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>2. Nominees should have demonstrated business acumen, experience and ability to exercise sound judgments in matters that relate to the current and long-term objectives of the Funds and should be willing and able to contribute positively to the decision-making process of the Funds.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>3. Nominees should have a commitment to understand the Funds, and the responsibilities of a trustee/director of an investment company and to regularly attend and participate in meetings of the Board and its committees.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>4. Nominees should have the ability to understand the sometimes conflicting interests of the various constituencies of the Funds, including shareholders and the management company, and to act in the interests of all shareholders.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>5. Nominees should not have, nor appear to have, a conflict of interest that would impair their ability to represent the interests of all the shareholders and to fulfill the responsibilities of a director/trustee.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=3 face=serif>Application of Criteria to Current Trustees</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>The renomination of current Trustees should not be viewed as automatic, but should be based on continuing qualification under the criteria set forth above based on, among other things, the current Trustee&#8217;s contribution to the Board and any committee.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=3 face=serif>Review of Nominations</FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>1. The Committee believes that it is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to obtain highly-qualified candidates to serve as members of the Board.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>2. In nominating candidates who would be Independent Trustees, the Committee believes that no particular qualities or skills nor any specific minimum qualifications or disqualifications are controlling or paramount. The Committee shall take into consideration any such factors as it deems appropriate. These factors may include (but are not limited to) the person&#8217;s character, integrity, judgment, skill, diversity and experience with investment companies and other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight; the interplay of the candidate&#8217;s experience with the experience of other Board members; and the extent to which the candidate would be desirable addition to the Board and any Committees thereof.

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>3. While the Committee is solely responsible for the selection and recommendation to the Board of Independent Board candidates, the Committee may consider nominees recommended by any source, including Fund shareholders, management and Committee members, as it deems appropriate. Any such recommendations from shareholders shall be directed to the Secretary of the relevant Fund at such address as is set forth in the Fund&#8217;s disclosure documents. Recommendations from management may be submitted to the Committee Chairperson. All recommendations shall include all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of Board members and as specified in the relevant Fund&#8217;s By-Laws, and must be accompanied by a written consent of the proposed candidate to stand for election if nominated for the Board and to serve if elected by shareholders.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>4. The Committee may from time to time establish specific requirements and/or additional factors to be considered for Independent Board candidates as it deems necessary or appropriate.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>5. After its consideration of relevant factors, the Committee shall present its recommendation(s) to the full Board for its consideration.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=3 face=serif>As long as a current Independent Trustee continues, in the opinion of the Committee, to satisfy the criteria listed above, the Committee generally would favor the re-nomination of a current Trustee rather than a new candidate. Consequently, while the Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders to serve as trustees, the Committee may only act upon such recommendations if there is a vacancy on the Board, or the Committee determines that the selection of a new or additional Trustee is in the best interests of the Fund.</FONT></P>
