BEIJING, China, June 9 /CNW/ - Melco China Resorts (Holding) Limited (TSXV: MCG) ("MCR" or the "Company"), today announced its change of name to Mountain China Resorts (Holding) Limited following its endorsement and approval by shareholders at its Annual General Meeting held on 1 June, 2010. The change of name recognizes and emphasizes the Company's primary focus on the mountain resort industry in China and its premier and peak position. Also during the course of the Meeting, all proposed resolutions were approved including: the re-appointment of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as auditors for the Company; the election of directors; and confirmation of the Company's Stock Option Plan and Restricted Share Unit Plan.

Following the AGM, Mr. Graham Kwan tendered his resignation as CEO and director of the Company and Mr. Danny Liu tendered his resignation as CFO of the Company. Mr. Zhenhua Mao was appointed as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Gang Han as Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Wang Lian as Director of Corporate Finance & Investor Relations.

"Despite very challenging economic and market conditions over the last several years the Company has put in place a very strong foundation for future growth," stated Mr. Graham Kwan, outgoing CEO of MCR. "At our Sun Mountain Yabuli resort we have: completed our development master planning and the initial $150 million in improvements of new 5 star hotels and mountain facilities; the acquisition of a land bank of over 200 hectares at Yabuli that can support the development of over 3,500 residential units representing up to an estimated $2 billion in potential future sales; the management agreements with Club Med for their first resort in China; and our recognition as the Best Resort Makeover in Asia by TIME Magazine. With Wisecord Holdings Limited's active involvement MCR benefits from their depth of experience in real estate development, marketing, credit and financial management and their favored position within the China Entrepreneur's Forum and commercial and political network. The Company is in an excellent position going forward to unlock the value within its properties through real estate sales."

"Since 2006 Mr. Kwan has provided the leadership and vision for MCR and established the standard for the China ski resort industry to follow," stated Mr. Zhenhua Mao, Chairman and incoming CEO of MCR. "With Yabuli clearly recognized and acclaimed as the premier ski resort over any other location in China this is an enduring testament to Mr. Kwan's depth of experience in international resort development and operations and recognition of his commitment, achievement and tenacity to work through the duress of the economic downturn and with very limited resources. We are very grateful for his contribution to the Company."

Mr. Graham Kwan will continue as an employee of MCR until August 31, 2010. Thereafter, Mr. Kwan will continue serving the Company as a senior consulting advisor primarily focused on international resort industry practices, capital markets and communications activities, as well as pursuing other independent business interests.
