The capital injection is led by US-based Bally\u2019s Corporation<\/strong> and the Australian investment firm Investment Holdings<\/strong>, Star\u2019s current largest shareholder. Investment Holdings will subscribe for AU$100m (US$60.5m) of the aggregate amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The rescue deal consists of multi-tranche convertible notes and subordinated debt instruments. If the notes are converted into shares, Bally\u2019s and Investment Holdings\u2019 respective interests will exceed 50 per cent. If the notes are all converted, Bally\u2019s will hold up to 38 per cent of The Star\u2019s issued capital while Investment Holdings will hold 23 per cent, including its existing holding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Addressing shareholders before the vote, Star Entertainment chair Anne Ward<\/strong>, said: \u201cThe strategic investments by Bally\u2019s and Investment Holdings provide cash funding and assist The Star\u2019s ability to continue as a going concern, helping to avoid outcomes such as voluntary administration, which is likely not to be in the best interests of shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bally’s said it has applied for operational approval from the New South Wales and Queensland governments and regulators. Soo Kim<\/strong>, Bally’s chairman, told Reuters: “We look forward to the completion of our probity review so that we can get on with the critical mission to put The Star on a sustainable path. We are raring to get on with it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Star Entertainment Group\u00a0has announced a series of executive management and subsidiary director appointments<\/a>.
