Team.
Mr. Grant Bowie, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of MGM China Holdings

belief in this has enabled us to earn four regional CSR awards in just a few months’ time.
These honors renew our efforts in promoting the philosophy of work-life balance as well as
caring for family and community among our team members. We will continue to motivate
them to reach their full potential through a variety of training and development programs,
while at the same time finding innovative ways to give back to the community.”
MGM garnered the “Outstanding Social Caring Organization Award” from Social Enterprise
Research Institute of Hong Kong, and the “Outstanding Corporate Social Responsibility
Award” from Mirror Post Hong Kong in February and April respectively. Not long after, MGM
was awarded “Outstanding Contribution in the Field of CSR” at the Asia Gaming Awards
Ceremony on May 16, recognizing its on-going commitment to the local community, its
employees and the environment. This also makes the Company the first winner to achieve
such recognition.

Team completed a new record of more than 6,400 hours of community service through 95
community events. For its staff of approximately 6,000, MGM provided more than 268,900
