Carnival Corporation & plc Completes Unification of Dual Listed Company Structure and Redomiciliation to Bermuda

MIAMI, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL) and Carnival plc announced today the completion of the unification of their dual listed company structure under a single company, Carnival Corporation Ltd. (the "Company"), with Carnival plc as a UK subsidiary of Carnival Corporation Ltd. (the "DLC Unification"). In addition, Carnival Corporation also migrated its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Republic of Panama to Bermuda and changed its name to "Carnival Corporation Ltd." (the "Redomiciliation" and, together with the DLC Unification, the "DLC Unification and Redomiciliation Transactions").

Completion of the DLC Unification and Redomiciliation Transactions will deliver a number of benefits to the Company and its shareholders, including creation of a single global share price, streamlined governance and reporting and reduced administrative costs. The DLC Unification and Redomiciliation Transactions are also expected to increase liquidity and weighting in major U.S. stock indexes. The Company believes that these benefits will strengthen its ability to deliver long-term shareholder value.

As a result of the Redomiciliation, the shares of Carnival Corporation common stock held by Carnival Corporation shareholders prior to the DLC Unification and Redomiciliation Transactions now represent the same number of common shares of Carnival Corporation Ltd. (the "Common Shares"). The Common Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the trading symbol "CCL."

In connection with the DLC Unification and Redomiciliation Transactions, each Carnival plc shareholder subject to the scheme of arrangement is entitled to receive one Common Share of Carnival Corporation Ltd. for each Carnival plc ordinary share held as of 6:00 p.m. (BST) on May 5, 2026. The listing of Carnival plc securities on the Official List of the UK Financial Conduct Authority and the trading of Carnival plc securities on the London Stock Exchange and the NYSE were cancelled today, and Carnival plc intends to deregister its securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Carnival plc will be re-registered as a private limited company shortly after completion of the DLC Unification and Redomiciliation Transactions.
