5. OVERVIEW OF CAPE VERDE, AND ITS TOURISM AND GAMING INDUSTRIES

Cape Verde is made up of a group of islands located in the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of Africa. According to the census conducted by the National Statistics Institute of Cape Verde in 2010, Cape Verde had a total population of approximately 500,000, with approximately 147,000 people residing in Praia as at June 2013.

Originally colonised by Portuguese explorers, Cape Verde gained its independence from Portugal in 1975 and is now a democratic nation. Due to the Portuguese colonisation before 1975, Cape Verde adopts a legal system which is similar to the Portuguese civil law system. Cape Verde is a lower-middle-income country, having graduated from the United Nations list of Least Developed Countries in 2008. It also enjoys a reputation of political stability due to its homogeneous makeup which is less susceptible of any conflicts arising from ethnicity or religious beliefs.

Cape Verde has a sound and healthy banking sector. There are local banks and branches of foreign banks operating in Cape Verde. Since the late 1990s, Cape Verdean escudos has been pegged to the Euro, which gives economic stability to the country.

Tourism has generally grown steadily in Cape Verde (other than in 2014 during the Ebola outbreak), and according to the World Tourism Organisation, the number of tourists arriving in Cape Verde was approximately 428,000, 482,000 and 503,000 in 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Tourism declined for the first time in 2014 as the Ebola outbreak on the West African mainland deterred tourists from visiting. However, the International Monetary Fund expects a rebound in tourism in 2015.

Cape Verde has been developing its gambling and casino industry, with three gambling zones officially created in 2012 and distributed on the islands of São Vicente, Santiago and Sal. In 2013, a further two gambling zones were announced on the islands of Boa Vista and Maio. In April 2013, a gaming concession has been granted by the Government of Cape Verde to a global hotel group, for casinos to be operated on the island of Sal, Cape Verde.

6. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROJECT

As discussed in the section headed ‘‘Overview of Cape Verde, and its Tourism and Gaming Industries’’, the Company has noted the increase in tourism in Cape Verde, and the business opportunities arising from operating the Integrated Resort Hotel and Casino Complex in the municipality of Praia, the largest and capital city of Cape Verde and the potential for a further increase in the number of tourists from the different parts of the world.

Through the Project, the Group will be able to construct and develop the Integrated Resort Hotel and Casino Complex and hold the Gaming Concession during the term of the Agreements on Santiago Island, and will tap into the promising tourism market in Cape Verde.

Taking into account of (a) the development potential of the Integrated Resort Hotel and Casino Complex at the Designated Site with a lease which is granted for a term of 75 years, (b) the fact that the Gaming Concession is granted to the Group for Santiago Island for 25 years, of which the first 15 years will be an exclusive concession, and (c) the expected continued growth of the tourism market in Cape Verde, the Board considers that the strategy of diversifying the Group’s business geographically and expanding into a new casino market will drive revenue growth in the long term.

The Group intends to fund the consideration for the development of the Project by internal resources, bank financing and/or external debt/equity financing, or a combination of any of these sources of funding.

The Board considers that the Project (including the terms of the Agreements and the transactions contemplated under them) are fair and reasonable, and that the entering into of the Agreements and the transactions contemplated under them are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

7. INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The Company is one of the leading owners of entertainment and casino gaming facilities in Macau. It is principally engaged in (i) the provision of gaming services to Sociedade de Jogos de Macau, S.A. through its subsidiary in two casinos in its properties, namely Pharaoh’s Palace Casino and Babylon Casino, and (ii) the operation of the hotels, entertainment and leisure facilities within the Group’s properties.
