In the view that the Group’s Jeju Integrated Resort Project may not be able to contribute any immediate cash inflow to the Group in the near future as the relevant developments take time, the acquisition provides an opportunity for the Group to participate in the casino business in Jeju, Korea immediately without having any substantial cash outflow as consideration. The acquisition marks a milestone for the Group to begin the casino business in Jeju, Korea.”
