Pacific Alliance China Land Limited

Distribution by Mandatory Share Repurchase

Pacific Alliance China Land Limited ("PACL" or the "Company"), (AIM: PACL), the closed-end investment company admitted to trading on AIM, announces the distribution of US$19 million from the repatriation of original invested capital from Project Malls.

The Company received US$22.4 million from the repatriation of original invested capital from Project Malls in January 2018. After providing for the Company's estimated working capital needs, the Board has approved the return of US$19 million to Shareholders by way of a mandatory repurchase of shares (the "Mandatory Repurchase"). The Board has determined this means of distribution is in the best interests of Shareholders at this time.

Pursuant to the Mandatory Repurchase, the shareholding of each of the Company's Shareholders will be reduced through the automatic repurchase and cancellation by the Company of approximately 11.5 per cent. of such shareholding (rounded down to the nearest whole share). The repurchase price credited to each Shareholder will be US$2.88 per share, which is equal to the Company's unaudited net asset value per share as at 31 December 2017, rounded down to the nearest whole cent.

The record date for the Mandatory Repurchase is 9 February 2018. All Shareholders as at the record date will be able to participate in the distribution without any further action required on their part.

The timetable for the Mandatory Repurchase is as follows,
