1.
Receipt of the Consolidated Financial Statements To receive the consolidated financial statements of Manulife Financial Corporation (the Company or Manulife) for the year ended December 31, 2013, together with the reports of the
auditor and the actuary on those statements.  2.
Election of Directors The
14 nominees for election to the Companys Board of Directors (the Board) and their biographies are listed in the section Nominees for the Board of Directors. All of the nominees are currently directors of the Company. Each successful nominee will be elected to the Board for a term of one year, which expires at the Companys annual
meeting in 2015. Directors attendance at Board and committee meetings held in 2013 is shown in the chart for each
director nominee in the Nominees for the Board of Directors section.  3.
Appointment of Auditors The
Board proposes that the firm of Ernst & Young LLP (Ernst & Young) be appointed as auditor for the 2014 fiscal year. Ernst & Young has served as the Companys auditor for more than five years. For 2013,
fees charged by Ernst & Young to the Company and its subsidiaries were $28.6 million, compared with $29.8 million in 2012.  Year ended

Includes the audit of the financial statements of the Company as well as the financial statements of its subsidiaries and segregated and separate funds,
audits of statutory filings, prospectus services, Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 attestations, reviews of quarterly reports and regulatory filings. 2
Includes reviews of product filing registration statements, consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting standards, and due diligence in
connection with proposed or consummated transactions. 3
Includes tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice services. 4
Includes information security and other advisory services. The Company has complied with applicable rules regulating the provision of non-audit services to the Company by its independent
auditor. All audit and non-audit services provided to the Company by Ernst & Young have been pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has reviewed the magnitude and nature of these
services to ensure that they are compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent auditor.  4.
Confirmation of an Amendment to By-Law No.1 On February 13, 2014, in order to facilitate the recruitment of directors globally, the Board approved an amendment to By-Law No. 1 of the Company (referred to in By-Law No.1 as the
Corporation) establishing the


maximum annual aggregate remuneration payable to the Board in United States dollars. This would enable the Company to establish the directors remuneration in United States dollars without
exceeding the maximum annual aggregate remuneration payable in the event of currency fluctuations. As a company with a
significant global presence, it is desirable that the Board also reflect that geographic diversity. Payment of directors remuneration in United States dollars, a global currency, will facilitate the Companys ability to attract and retain
directors globally and be competitive with other large global financial institutions with comparable scope and complexity. As disclosed on page 22 under Director Compensation, amounts are paid in respect of services to both the Company and The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company, the cost of which is shared equally between
the two companies. All Board and committee meetings of the two companies are held concurrently. The amendment approved
by the Board is as follows:  1.
Section 2.4 of By-Law No. 1 of the Company is amended by deleting the reference to $2,000,000 and replacing it with a reference to
US$2,000,000 as follows:  The aggregate remuneration payable to directors each year for their services as directors shall not exceed US$2,000,000. This amount may be apportioned
among the directors on such basis as the directors may determine, together with such further amount as may be necessary to reimburse the directors for their reasonable expenses properly incurred in respect of the services to the Corporation in that
capacity.  2.
The submission of the foregoing amendment to By-Law No. 1 to the shareholders of the Company entitled to vote
thereon for approval at the next meeting of shareholders of the Company is hereby authorized and approved; and  3.
The proper officers of the Company are hereby authorized to sign and deliver for and on behalf of the Company all such documents and instruments and to do all
such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable to give effect to the foregoing resolution. To be effective, this amendment must be confirmed by special resolution of the shareholders. This special resolution requires the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by holders of Common
Shares present in person or represented by proxy. The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR the following special resolution: RESOLVED THAT:The amendment to By-Law No. 1 of the Company establishing the maximum annual aggregate
remuneration payable to the Board in United States dollars is hereby confirmed.

5.
Shareholder Advisory Vote on the Approach to Executive Compensation The Board believes that shareholders should have the opportunity to fully understand the objectives, philosophy and principles the Board has used to make executive compensation decisions and to have an advisory
vote on the Boards approach to executive compensation. As a result, shareholders will have a non-binding, advisory vote on the Companys executive compensation policy at the Annual and Special Meeting in 2014, as it has done at each of
the past four annual meetings. To assist you in making your voting decision, we refer you to the Compensation
Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) starting at page 31. The CD&A describes the Boards approach to executive compensation, the details of the compensation program and the Boards compensation decisions in 2013. This
disclosure has been approved by the Board on the recommendation of the Management Resources and Compensation Committee. If there are specific concerns you wish to discuss, you may contact the Board by writing to the Chairman of the Board in care of
the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the address below or by email as indicated on our website at: corporate_governance@manulife.com: Chairman of the Board c/o The Corporate Secretary Manulife Financial Corporation 200 Bloor Street East North Tower 10 Toronto, ON M4W 1E5


The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR the following advisory resolution: Resolved, on an advisory basis and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the Board, that the
shareholders accept the approach to executive compensation disclosed in the Proxy Circular delivered in advance of the 2014 Annual and Special Meeting of Common Shareholders. As this vote will be an advisory vote, the results will not be binding. However, the Board will take the results of the vote into
account, as appropriate, together with feedback received from shareholders in its other engagement activities, when considering future compensation policies, procedures and decisions. The results of the shareholder advisory vote will be disclosed as part of the report on vote results for the Meeting. In the event that a significant number of shareholders oppose the resolution, the Board will communicate with certain of its
shareholders (particularly those who are known to have voted against it) to understand their concerns and will review the Companys approach to compensation in the context of those concerns. Shareholders who have voted against the resolution
will be encouraged to contact the Board to discuss their specific concerns. Note: All figures reported in this Proxy Circular are in Canadian currency, unless otherwise indicated.
