IAG NOV 2022年11月 亞博匯 18 ANGELA LEONG TRANSFERS 10% SJM SHAREHOLDING TO DAISY HO 梁安琪轉讓10%股份給何超鳳 ACCORDING TO DOCUMENTS filed by SJM Resorts, Angela Leong – who was previously listed as Managing Director of the Macau concession holder – has completed the transfer of her 10% nominal shareholding to newly appointed Managing Director Daisy Ho for a nominal fee of MOP$1. SJM revealed that Leong transferred 300,000 Class B shares in SJM to Ho on 2 October, representing 10% of the entity’s issued share capital. This follows the recent news that Ho has been appointed by SJM Resorts as its new Managing Director as part of its efforts to comply with a directive under Macau’s new gaming law that all concessionaires must appoint a Macau local as Managing Director and that they must hold 15% of the concession- holding entity. The 15% holding differs, however, from shares in the listed parent, SJM Holdings Ltd. “Given the Type B shares held by the managing director of SJM Resorts have restricted rights and only entitle the holder of the Type B shares to a nominal amount of dividend payable, the Company has been and will continue to be effectively entitled to 100% economic interest in SJM Resorts; the changes in shareholders and board composition of SJM Resorts therefore are not expected to have any material financial impact on the Group,” SJM Holdings said in a filing. In order to meet this requirement under Macau’s new Gaming Law, SJM Holdings amended its articles of association in August to reduce its 90% shareholding in SJM Resorts Limited to 85% and released 5% of its shares to its new Managing Director. The appointment of Ho has also been approved by the Chief Executive of Macau, and her management authority in the company has been expanded. She is now SJM Resorts’ official permanent representative, responsible for all official business dealings between SJM or any of its subsidiaries and the Macau government. Daisy Ho’s sister, Pansy Ho, was recently named Managing Director of MGM China’s concession-holding entity, MGM Grand Paradise. 澳娛綜合 公佈的最新文件，梁安琪將澳娛綜合10%股份轉讓給常 務董事何超鳳，總作價只收取象徵式1澳門元。 根據股權披露的資料，梁安琪在10月2日轉讓30萬股澳娛綜 合B類股份給何超鳳，佔澳娛綜合已發行的股份10%。此前有消 息稱，澳娛綜合任命何超鳳為新的常務董事，是澳門新的《博彩 法》規定，承批公司15%的常務董事必須是澳門永久居民。 然而，這15%澳娛綜合股份，與母公司澳博的股份不同。 澳博發表的聲明指出：「鑑於澳娛綜合常務董事持有的B 類股份的權利受到限制，並且僅賦予B類股份持有人支付面值股 息的權利，因此公司將繼續有效地享有澳娛綜合100%的經濟利 益。澳娛綜合的權益、股東變動預計不會對集團產生任何重大財 務影響。」 為滿足澳門新《博彩法》規定，澳娛綜合在8月修改章程， 將原本持有澳娛綜合的90%股份下降至85%，向常務董事發放 5%股份。 何超鳳委任亦獲得澳門行政長官的許可，何超鳳在公司的 管理權權力擴大，同時成為澳娛綜合的正式常設代表，負責與澳 門政府及所有機構，包括公司附屬機構的一切正式業務往來和聯 繫。 而何超鳳姐姐何超瓊最近被任命為美高梅中國的特許經營實 體美高梅金殿的常務董事。
