CARNIVAL PLC

PUBLICATION OF SHAREHOLDER DOCUMENT

MIAMI, March 2, 2026 — Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL;
NYSE: CUK) announces that it has published a combined shareholder document (the
“Shareholder Document”) in relation to (i) the proposed unification of their
dual listed company structure under a single company, Carnival Corporation, with
Carnival plc as its wholly owned UK subsidiary, creating a simpler corporate
structure and single global share price for the combined company (the “DLC
Unification”), and (ii) migration of Carnival Corporation from the Republic of
Panama, where Carnival Corporation is currently domiciled, to Bermuda under the
name “Carnival Corporation Ltd.” (the “Redomiciliation”), as recommended by the
Boards of Directors. The Shareholder Document comprises a registration statement
on Form S-4 and a joint definitive proxy statement in compliance with Regulation
14A of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and section 897 of the UK
Companies Act 2006. The DLC Unification will be effected by means of a scheme of
arrangement under Part 26 of the UK Companies Act 2006 (the “Scheme”).

The Shareholder Document is being posted to shareholders of Carnival Corporation
& plc and is now available on the websites at www.carnivalcorp.com/investors and
www.carnivalplc.com/investors. A copy of the Shareholder Document has been
submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and is available for inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

Transaction conditions and timetable

The DLC Unification and Redomiciliation are subject to a number of conditions,
including, among others, approval of the proposals at the special shareholder
meetings and the court meeting, sanction of the Scheme of Arrangement by the
Court in the UK and the receipt of certain antitrust and regulatory clearances.
If the proposals are approved by Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc
shareholders, and all other conditions to the completion of the transactions are
satisfied, it is anticipated that the DLC Unification and Redomiciliation will
become effective by May 7, 2026. On completion of the DLC Unification and
Redomiciliation, Scheme Shareholders will receive one Common Share of Carnival
Corporation Ltd. for each Carnival plc Share they hold at the Scheme Record
Time, and Carnival plc will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Carnival
Corporation Ltd.

The Shareholder Document includes full details of the Scheme, together with the
notices of shareholder meetings of Carnival Corporation & plc and the notice of
court meeting of Carnival plc. The Shareholder Document also contains the
expected timetable for the implementation of the DLC Unification and
Redomiciliation, which is also set out in the appendix to this announcement, and
specifies the necessary action to be taken by Carnival Corporation & plc
shareholders.

Shareholders are encouraged to read the Shareholder Document and submit their
votes in advance of the shareholder meetings in accordance with the instructions
included in the Shareholder Document.

Shareholder meetings will be held sequentially on Friday, April 17, 2026,
starting at 8:30 a.m. (EDT).

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This document contains statements herein regarding the proposed DLC Unification
and Redomiciliation, future financial and operating results, benefits of the
transactions and any other statements about future expectations that constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements in this

based upon current beliefs, expectations and discussions related to the proposed
DLC Unification and Redomiciliation and are subject to significant risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
