澳洲星娛融資觸礁!9.4億澳元救命錢告吹,恐陷破產危機




澳洲星娛樂面臨財務危機,無法獲得重組貸款

(路透社)- 澳洲的賭場運營商星娛樂(Star Entertainment)在周三宣布,未能從Salter Brothers Capital 獲得高達9.4億澳元(約合5.91億美元)的債務重組貸款。隨著多年來因洗錢指控而受到的監管審查和罰款、管理層的流失以及因COVID-19導致的邊境關閉,星娛樂這家澳洲第二大賭場運營商已面臨破產的邊緣。以下是該公司在過去四年中努力維持賭場運營的時間線。

2021年末

媒體報導指出,星娛樂的內部調查指控該公司未能有效遏制其兩個度假村的洗錢和詐騙行為。

新南威爾士州開始進行公共調查,而澳洲金融犯罪監管機構(AUSTRAC)也啟動了對星娛樂在悉尼最大賭場可能違反反洗錢(AML)法的調查。

2022年1月

AUSTRAC擴大了對星娛樂的調查,涉及該公司賭場可能違反AML和反恐法律的行為。

2022年3月

星娛樂的首席執行官馬特·貝基爾(Matt Bekier)因AUSTRAC的調查辭職。

2022年6月

昆士蘭州開始對星娛樂展開自己的調查。該公司在布里斯班和黃金海岸也有賭場。

2022年9月

新南威爾士州的調查發現星娛樂不適合在該州持有賭牌。

2022年12月

昆士蘭州政府對星娛樂處以1億澳元的罰款。

2024年初

星娛樂在新南威爾士州面臨第二次調查,賭場監管機構指控該公司未能在滿意的程度上改善其治理結構。星娛樂的新首席執行官和首席財務官辭職。

2024年6月

星娛樂任命前Crown Resorts和Lendlease的首席執行官史蒂夫·麥肯(Steve McCann)為新CEO,以帶領公司度過新南威爾士州的另一個監管調查。

2024年8月至9月

星娛樂再次被認為不適合在悉尼持有賭牌,並在規定的截止日期過後一個月提交年度業績報告。該公司表示其企業貸款方同意提供高達2億澳元的債務設施。

2024年10月

新南威爾士州的賭博監管機構對星娛樂處以1500萬澳元的罰款。

2025年1月

星娛樂表示,截至2024年12月底,其可用現金為7800萬澳元。

2025年2月

美國的Oaktree提出重組星娛樂的6.5億澳元債務,這可能成為該公司財務困境中的一條重要救命稻草。星娛樂未能在2月底前提交中期業績報告,並再次開始與金融機構洽談救助事宜。

2025年3月

星娛樂收到一個重組提議,該提議有潛力提供高達9.4億澳元的債務資金和2.5億澳元的過渡資金。公司還表示將把在布里斯班的女王碼頭項目50%的股份出售給遠東集團和周大福企業。

該公司還收到美國賭場運營商Bally’s Corp的提議,注入2.5億澳元的資金,以資本增資形式導致星娛樂向現有的高級貸款方發行可轉換票據。

星娛樂在悉尼和黃金海岸的賭牌暫停延長至至少9月30日。

2025年4月

星娛樂從Salter Brothers撤回高達9.4億澳元的重組提議,並表示目前正在探索Bally’s Corp的提議。

在這一系列事件中,星娛樂的處境顯示出澳洲賭博行業面臨的巨大挑戰。該公司不僅要應對來自政府的嚴格監管,還需克服內部管理問題和外部市場環境變化的影響。這反映了整個行業在透明度和合規性方面的壓力,未來的發展方向可能會更加依賴於企業治理的改善和與監管機構的合作。

同時,這一事件也凸顯了金融機構在面對高風險企業時的謹慎態度,未來對於有類似問題的企業來說,獲得資金支持將變得愈發困難。這不僅影響了星娛樂自身的經營,還可能對整個賭博行業的健康發展造成長遠影響。
