RE: SKYCITY ENTERTAINMENT GROUP LIMITED (SKC)

RESIGNATION OF DIRECTOR – RICHARD DIDSBURY


SkyCity Entertainment Group Limited advises that Richard Didsbury will retire from the

SkyCity Board effective from 11 November 2019.


Mr Didsbury joined the SkyCity Board in July 2012 and, in recent years, has overseen the

company’s New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC) and Horizon Hotel

development project as Chair of the Board’s NZICC Committee.


Following the recent fire at the NZICC, Mr Didsbury has tendered his resignation to avoid

any conflict with his role as Chair of the Northern Express Group (NX2), a private

consortium, who, through a public private partnership with the New Zealand

Government, is responsible for delivering the Pūhoi to Warkworth project. The project

will extend the four-lane Northern Motorway (SH1) 18.5km from the Johnstone’s Hill

Tunnels to just north of Warkworth – the first stage of the Ara Tūhono – Pūhoi to Wellsford

project. NX2’s equity investors are the Accident Compensation Corporation and Public

Infrastructure Partners II LP (managed by Morrison & Co PIP Limited), ACCIONA

Concesiones and Fletcher Building Limited.


The SkyCity Board and management team thank Mr Didsbury for his contribution to

SkyCity.


The SkyCity Board has commenced a search for a new non-executive director.


Yours faithfully


Jo Wong

Company Secretary
