facility

BEIJING, Feb. 16 /CNW/ - Melco China Resorts (Holding) Limited (TSXV: MCG) ("Melco China Resorts" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has repaid the RMB120 million (C$18.6 million) principal loan amount due to Harbin Bank on or before February 15th, 2010 and has arranged a new loan facility of RMB150 million (C$23.2 million). The new loan facility consists of three new bank loans with Harbin Bank each of RMB 120 million (C$18.6 million), RMB 16 million (C$2.5 million), and RMB 14 million (C$2.1 million), with each loan secured by certain assets and land use rights at the Sun Mountain Yabuli Resort in Heilongjiang Province, China. Each loan carries a two-year term with a maturity date of February 9th, 2012 and a fixed annual interest rate of 5.94 percent to be paid quarterly on March 20th, June 20th, September 20th and December 20th of each year.

The new Harbin Bank loans were facilitated by a short term bridge loan of RMB 74 million (C$11.5 million) provided by Wisecord Holdings Limited ("WHL") the proceeds of which are in addition to the RMB 96 million (C$14.9 million) on deposit with Melco China Resorts as part of the previously announced Private Placement. The bridge loan has a term of 60 days with a loan fee of 4.6% for each 30 day period on the principal amount drawn down and will be immediately repaid upon receipt of funds by the Company from the new Harbin Bank loans.

Proceeds from the Harbin Bank loans will be used for construction payments and general corporate purposes.

"We are very pleased to have this continuing relationship with Harbin Bank," stated Graham Kwan, CEO of Melco China Resorts. "Combined with the recently announced capital injection from WHL, our financial position has greatly improved with this renewal now in place."

Conversion from Renminbi (RMB) to Canadian dollars is approximate only based on RMB 6.5 to C$1.00.
