Macau Property Opportunities Fund Limited

("MPO" or the "Company")

Return of Capital

The Board of Directors of Macau Property Opportunities Fund Limited confirms that the special resolution proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held today, 21 June 2011, was duly passed.

In accordance with the Circular to Shareholders dated 25 May 2011 setting out the terms of the proposal to return capital in the amount of US$17.9 million ("the Circular"), Shareholders on the register as at 5.30 p.m. today, 21 June 2011, will receive a bonus issue of a newly created class of shares, B Shares; capital will then be returned to Shareholders through a redemption of the B Shares, the payment of a dividend in respect of the B Shares or a combination of both.

The final sterling amount of the Return of Capital is £11,058,939.82, which has been calculated by reference to the US dollar/Sterling Bloomberg Cross Rate of 1.6186 as at the close of business on 20 June 2011. This equates to 10.75772356 pence per Ordinary Share.

Shareholders wishing to receive some or all of their return of capital in the form of a dividend should, if they have not done so already, complete the Dividend Election Form with which they have been provided and return it to the Company's registrars or, if they hold their Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form, send the appropriate USE instruction as detailed in the Circular, in either case by no later than 1.00 p.m. on 28 June 2011.

In accordance with the Circular, it is expected that monies will be paid to Shareholders on or around 12 July 2011. Payments made to Shareholders will be denominated in sterling.

A copy of the Resolution will shortly be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at www.Hemscott.com/nsm.do. Defined terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as ascribed to them in the Circular.
