MARKET RELEASE

9 August 2019

Sale of long-term concession over Auckland car parks

SkyCity Entertainment Group Limited (SKC.NZX/SKC.AX) (“SkyCity”) confirms that the sale

of a long-term concession over its Auckland car parks is unconditional following the

satisfaction of all conditions in the concession agreement entered into with Macquarie

Principal Finance Group (“MPF”) on 3 April 2019.

Completion of the transaction is expected to occur on Monday, 19 August 2019.

The sale is consistent with SkyCity’s strategy to sell certain non-core assets and to allocate

capital to assets and businesses which are better aligned with its long-term strategic

objectives. SkyCity looks forward to a positive, long-term partnership on its Auckland

precinct with MPF and Care Park.

The key terms of the sale are as follows:

• Long-term concession (licence to operate) over SkyCity’s Auckland car parks sold to

MPF for $220 million;


• Concession term to June 2048 to align with renewal date for SkyCity Auckland casino

licence;


• Care Park appointed by MPF to operate the car park;


• MPF required to perform parking operations in accordance with agreed service

standards;


• Availability regime established to ensure ongoing access for SkyCity customers and

staff; and


• Car park remains available for public use, including casuals and licence holders.


Following completion of the transaction, SkyCity will provide certain transitional services to

MPF, primarily ICT-related services.
