MARKET RELEASE
SkyCity Entertainment Group Limited
(SKC.NZX/SKC.AX)
12 August 2020
Further COVID-19 Restrictions at SkyCity’s New Zealand Properties
SkyCity Entertainment Group Limited (“SkyCity”) advises that, from this morning, it will be
closing its Auckland casino and entertainment facilities and implementing physical
distancing and hygiene requirements at its Hamilton and Queenstown properties.
SkyCity’s Auckland hotels will remain open to accommodate existing guests currently
staying in-house, pending further advice from the New Zealand Government. Appropriate
physical distancing and hygiene requirements will also be implemented at the Auckland
hotels.
These measures have been implemented in response to the announcement by the New
Zealand Government last night that, following four new cases of COVID-19 in Auckland
likely involving community transmission, the COVID-19 Alert Level will increase to Alert
Level 3 in Auckland and to Alert Level 2 for the rest of the country from 12.00pm today until
midnight on 14 August 2020.
SkyCity Chief Executive Officer Graeme Stephens said “SkyCity is fully complying with this
latest update from the New Zealand Government. SkyCity is well prepared to respond
quickly to these changes and is in a strong financial position to withstand the financial
impacts of these temporary restrictions.”
SkyCity’s Adelaide Casino is unaffected by these latest restrictions in New Zealand and
remains open with physical distancing and hygiene requirements already in place.
SkyCity will provide further updates as new material information becomes available.
