The casino operator MGM is aiming to list its Macau operations on the Hong Kong stock exchange, hoping to raise up to US$1 billion as early as Q2 this year, although the company has not released an estimated value. It has currently begin the process of vetting investment banks to work on a Hong Kong initial public offering.

MGM Grand Macau - the joint venture between MGM Mirage and its Macao partner Pansy Ho, would be the third U.S. casino marquee name to float its Macau operations on the Hong Kong exchange after Las Vegas Sands' and Wynn Resorts'. Wynn Resorts raised US$1.63 billion in the Hong Kong listing of its Macau unit, while Sands China raised US$2.5 billion in their initial public offering.

MGM Grand Macau would be the last of Macau's six main casino operators to list shares in Hong Kong.


由信德集團董事總經理何超瓊, 以及美國MGM Mirage集團各持股一半的澳門美高梅金殿(MGM Grand Macau)傳出計劃香港上市。 初步擬集資約10億美元 (美高梅金殿尚未決定此次IPO的募資金額)。 這將成為2009年以來第3宗美國博彩企業澳門業務香港上市。 此前拉斯維加斯兩大博彩企業的澳門分支均已在香港分拆上市 - 金沙中國11月募集資金25億美元, 而永利澳門則在10月募資18.7億美元。

分析師和投資銀行人士表示上市計劃更可能最早在二季度實現。 一旦計劃落實, 澳門美高梅金殿便會成為第6間於香港上市的澳門賭牌營運商, 即澳門6大博彩業牌主均在港挂牌。
