Australia.- The Star Entertainment Group has issued a statement clarifying its position regarding lender negotiations and financial reporting obligations following the publication of an article in the Australian Financial Review.

It confirmed that it will submit unaudited accounts for the financial year ended June 30, 2025 on Friday August 29, with audited accounts targeted for release by September 30, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
