In connection with the dual listed company transaction between Carnival plc (f/k/a P&O Princess Cruises plc) and Carnival Corporation (the "DLC Transaction"), Carnival plc issued one special voting share to the Trust and, following a series of transactions, the Trust Shares were distributed to holders of common stock of Carnival Corporation (the "Carnival Corporation Common Stock"). Since completion of the DLC Transaction on April 17, 2003, if Carnival Corporation issues Carnival Corporation Common Stock to a person, the Trust will issue an equivalent number of Trust Shares to such person. The Trust Shares are paired with shares of Carnival Corporation Common Stock and are represented by the same stock certificate. The Trust Shares represent a beneficial interest in the Carnival plc special voting share. The Trust Shares covered by this form were transferred for no consideration to a newly formed trust, which is controlled by Micky Arison. The reporting person may be deemed a member of a Section 13(d) group that owns more than 10% of the outstanding Carnival Corporation Common Stock. However, the reporting person disclaims such group membership, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is a member of a Section 13(d) group that owns more than 10% of the outstanding Carnival Corporation Common Stock for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose. /s/ John J.
