THE STAR SYDNEY - UPDATE ON COVID-19 RELATED OPERATING RESTRICTIONS

The Star Entertainment Group Limited (ASX code: SGR) (The Star) references the NSW Government's announcement of Wednesday 27 January 2021 in relation to an easing in the COVID-19 related operating restrictions that apply to the Greater Sydney region.

From 12.01am on Friday 29 January 2021, hospitality venues (including The Star Sydney) will no longer be subject to the 300 patron cap per area, however, they will still be subject to the 1 person per 4m2 rule. Based on the scale of The Star's various casino areas, The Star Sydney will be able to host up to around 5,000 patrons at any one time across the total casino area. These restrictions are similar to those that applied to the property from 1 July 2020 to 23 July 2020. One difference is the current mandatory wearing of masks in gaming rooms.

The NSW Government also announced that it anticipates that the 1 person per 4m2 rule will revert to the 1 person per 2m2 rule in 2 weeks' time if current trends in the number of cases of community transmission continue, subject to expert health advice. This would, in effect, create similar operating conditions to those that were applicable at the property from 7 December 2020 to 20 December 2020.

The Star remains committed to the health, safety and wellbeing of its team members and guests.
