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.
