Hong Kong’s lengthening international border closure has cost Australia’s Aquis Entertainment a director with Alex Chow this week announcing his retirement as Non-Executive Director of the company.
According to details filed with the ASX, Chow’s retirement “comes regrettably as a result of continued COVID-19 lockdowns in his home country of Hong Kong [sic], which are proving increasingly difficult for Mr Chow to manage his desired level of involvement with the Group via technological means.”
Chow’s resignation is effective immediately.
Aquis Chairman Russell Shields said, “While I am sorry to see Alex go, I can certainly sympathise with the technological challenges he has been experiencing. Alex’s input over the years has been very valuable, we have been through some interesting times together as a result of COVID-19 and I wish him all the very best for the future”.
Aquis, which owns and operates Casino Canberra in the nation’s capital, said it will consider a replacement director in due course.
