Suntrust Resort Holdings said it is unable to assess the impact of the sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The Philippines.- Suntrust Resort Holdings has said that it does not have sufficient information to estimate the impact of the sale of the Tigre de Cristal licence<\/a>\u00a0by two of its associate firms. It said it remains unclear whether the sale will have a direct impact on its business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summit Ascent said the decision to sell G1 Entertainment<\/a> was made due to \u201cuncertainties arising from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict,\u201d\u00a0despite the disapproval of most of its board and its Hong Kong-listed parent, Let Group Holdings.\u00a0Summit Ascent is now in breach of Hong Kong Stock Exchange rules following the resignation of five directors who disagreed with the US$16m sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, Andrew Lo Kai Bong<\/strong> is director and chairman of Summit Ascent. Lo is also chairman and a director of LET Group Holdings.\u00a0LET Group confirmed that all board members other than Lo had resigned due to their disapproval of the sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Suntrust stated that its management “will be in a better position to assess the impact, if any, of the sale” involving its associates after they obtain more information.\u00a0LET Group controls 51 per cent of Suntrust through a subsidiary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2023, Summit Ascent Investments, a subsidiary of Summit Ascent Holdings, agreed to\u00a0subscribe to convertible bonds worth up to PHP13.51bn (US$247.5m)<\/a>\u00a0issued by Suntrust Resort Holdings to help fund the development of\u00a0a casino hotel project located at Westside City in Manila<\/a>, the capital of the Philippines.
