IAG AUG 2022年8月 亞博匯 22 ANDREW LO CONFIRMED AS NEW MAJORITY OWNER OF SUNCITY LISTCO 太陽城集團將 由盧衍溢接手 SUNCITY GROUP HOLDINGS LTD has confirmed that its Executive Director Andrew Lo has become the company’s new majority shareholder after assuming a 74.98% stake previously held by former Chairman Alvin Chau. Although IAG reported recently that Lo had assumed control of the company, Chau’s interest had been in some limbo after lenders demanded repayment of a HK$300 million loan just weeks after the former Chairman’s arrest in late November. Chau – who remains in custody in Coloane Prison on charges of alleged criminal association, illegal gambling and money laundering – stepped down as Chairman of both Suncity Group and Summit Ascent in early December. Claiming that Chau’s arrest constituted an event of default, the lenders subsequently exercised their enforcement rights on the securities charged and put them out to tender. However, Suncity confirmed in a filing that Lo, via his wholly-owned company Major Success Group Limited, has been named the successful bidder and therefore assigned the outstanding loan together with all rights under the Facility Agreement. Upon completion of the transaction, Lo and parties acting with him now control 74.98% of Suncity Group, but will also be required to make an offer for all issued shares in the company as required under Hong Kong’s Takeovers Code. 在去年年底 被澳門司警拘捕的前太陽集團主席周焯華，上週五 （5月13日）將旗下持有的太陽城集團及凱升控股的控股權轉讓 給太陽城執行董事盧衍溢 （舊名：盧啟邦）。 據港交所資料顯示，周焯華及鄭丁港原本透過Fame Select Limited共同持有太陽城集團約74.85%股份，而太陽城集團則持 有70%凱升控股股權，但上週五已將相關股份及可換股債券轉讓 予盧衍溢。而太陽城集團及凱升控股上週五停牌，至週二亦未復 牌。 據披露記錄顯示，盧衍溢除了收購周焯華的太陽城股份外， 還收購了集團通過一個名為Major Success Group Ltd.的實體持 有的可轉換債券。 港交所資料顯示，現時結好證券有限公司持有49億太陽城股 份，相當於74.84%股份。據資料顯示，是盧衍溢接手太陽城股 權及可換股債券後，將有關股權轉押予結好證券有限公司。
