IAG JUL 2019年7月 亞博匯 17 SUNCITY BOSS ALVIN CHAU NAMED SUMMIT ASCENT CHAIRMAN 太陽城集團周焯華出任 凱升控股董事會主席 SUMMIT Ascent Holdings has announced Suncity Group boss Alvin Chau as its new Chairman of the Board. Chau’s appointment follows Suncity’s recent acquisition of a controlling 27.95% stake in Summit Ascent, which owns and operates Russian integrated resort Tigre de Cristal in the Primorye gaming zone near Vladivostok. The 45-year-old joins Suncity’s Executive Director and Chief Investment Officer, Andrew Lo, who was named Deputy Chairman of Summit Ascent in April, and Lo’s brother-in-law Chiu King Yan who was named an Executive Director at the same time. Summit Ascent has also announced that Suncity CFO Philip Wong has been appointed as a Non- Executive Director. Suncity, which acquired an initial 3.29% stake late last year, became the Russian IR operator’s largest shareholder in April after purchasing a 24.66% stake from Taiwan’s First Steamship Co Ltd. It has since promised to bolster VIP play at Tigre de Cristal with Union Gaming analyst Grant Govertsen recently predicting a 250% increase in VIP volume by 2020. 凱升控股 日前宣佈任命太陽城集團老闆周焯華擔任為其董事會 主席。 此次任命發生在太陽城集團近期收購凱升27.95%的股權之 後發生的。凱升集團在目前在俄羅斯海參崴附近的Primorye濱海 綜合娛樂區擁有並經營水晶虎宮綜合度假村。 早在今年四月，太陽城集團執行董事兼首席投資總監盧啟邦 已被凱升任命為董事會副主席，而盧啟邦的連襟趙敬仁則同時獲 委任為執行董事。 另外太陽城集團的財務部總裁王柏齡也同時獲委任為凱升 的非執行董事。 太陽城於去年年底首次收購了在俄羅斯運營綜合度假村的凱 升集團3.29%的股權。今年四月則通過從台灣益航股份有限公司 再次購入其24.66%的股份而成凱升第一大股東。太陽城曾承諾提 升水晶虎宮貴賓業務，而Union Gaming的分析員Grant Govert- sen就在最近預測，其到2020年貴賓廳收入將提升至250%。
