Declaration of Dividend

Pacific Alliance China Land Limited ("PACL" or the "Company"), (AIM: PACL), the closed-end investment company admitted to trading on AIM, announces a distribution to shareholders of the Company ("Shareholders") of US$1.3 million by way of a dividend of US$0.49 per share, rounded down to the nearest US$0.01 (the "Dividend"), from the excess cash held by the Company.

The total Dividend is based on the Company's unaudited 29 February 2020 NAV of US$2.1 million reduced by estimated operating, delisting and winding up expenses plus a reserve. The Board has determined that distribution by way of a dividend, instead of a mandatory repurchase, is in the best interests of Shareholders at this time because it maintains the required number of the Company's shares to continue to be admitted to trading on AIM pending delisting.

The record date for the Dividend is 24 April 2020. All Shareholders as at the record date will be able to participate in the Dividend without any further action required on their part.

The timetable for the Dividend is as follows:

 
 Ex-Date:        23 April 2020 
 Record Date:    24 April 2020 
                -------------- 
 Payment Date:   30 April 2020 
                --------------

The Company will today also put a proposal to Shareholders to commence an orderly wind up of the Company and cancellation of the Company's shares from trading on AIM. Once the Company is delisted, and liquidation of the Company is completed, any excess cash will be paid to Shareholders in a final distribution, or paid to a third party charity nominated by the Shareholders, as determined by the joint voluntary liquidators.
