Notes to editors:
Speymill Macau Property Company plc ("Speymill Macau" or the "Company")
·; Speymill Macau was incorporated and registered in the Isle of Man on 31 October 2006 and is a closed-ended investment company registered in the Isle of Man and traded on AIM, a market of the London Stock Exchange.
·; The Company was established to invest primarily in the Macau property market. This includes pursuing selective commercial property investments to capture expected ancillary Macau service sector growth. The Company was admitted to AIM on 17 November 2006 raising US$ 80 million in a placing on admission. A second fundraising of US$ 70 million was completed in May 2007. The Company's objective is to provide shareholders with an attractive overall return to be achieved primarily through long-term capital growth.
·; Macau is one of only two Special Economic Regions, a semi-autonomous administrative area, in China, and has enjoyed explosive economic growth, in part due its establishment as an important gambling centre which has led to high historical and forecast GDP growth, driven by rising incomes and low unemployment levels. Coupled with the limited availability of land, developers are now struggling to meet a stronger than anticipated demand for higher quality housing. The Company intends to exploit these favourable market dynamics with the aim of generating attractive overall returns for shareholders.
·; Speymill Property Group Limited ("SPG") is the Manager of the Company and the Investment Adviser is Speymill Property Group (Far East) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of SPG.
