IAG JUN 2021年6月 亞博匯 15 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CONSIDERING ASX LISTING SG公司正研究在澳洲證交所上市 請於asgam.com註冊獲取《亞博匯早報》 Sign up to receive IAG Breakfast Briefing at asgam.com GLOBAL GAMING GIANT Scientific Games is said to be looking into an initial public offering in Australia and listing on the Australian Securities Exchange in a bid to raise funds and pay down debt. According to a report by the Australian Financial Review, Scientific Games has called in Sydney-based investment bank Jarden Australia to investigate the pros and cons of an ASX-listing as one option to address debts of around US$9.43 billion. Although Scientific Games is reportedly looking at a range of options to raise funds, an ASX-listing may also be attractive due to the company’s strong Australian links. Those links include last year’s sale of the 34.9% stake previously held by US billionaire Ronald Perelman to a group of long-term institutional investors led by Australian fund manager Caledonia (Private) Investments, and the subsequent appointment of former Aristocrat CEO Jamie Odell and CFO Toni Korsanos as Scientific Games’ new Executive Chairman and Executive Vice Chairman respectively. 據悉全球博彩巨擘SG公司 正在研究於澳洲進行 首次公開募股，並在澳洲證券交易所上市，以籌集 資金並償還債務。 據《Australian Financial Review》報道，SG 公司已經要求總部位於悉尼的投資銀行Jarden Australia就在澳交所上市的利弊展開調研，上市 為其解決約94.3億美元債務的一個選項。 儘管報道指SG公司正在考慮一系列的融資 方案，但鑒於該公司與澳洲的緊密關聯，在澳交 所上市或頗具吸引力。這些關聯包括去年美國億 萬富翁Ronald Perelman將此前持有的34.9％股 份出售給澳洲基金管理公司Caledonia（Private） Investments牽頭的一個長期機構投資者集團， 以及隨後澳洲盛世·貴族的前任行政總裁Jamie Odell及首席財務官Toni Korsanos分別被任命為 SG公司的執行主席及執行副主席。
