The loan was approved by the company’s Board of Directors on Friday, Suntrust revealed, and will be provided by Major Success Group – the parent company of Suntrust’s controlling shareholder LET Group Ltd (formerly known as Suncity Group). Major Success Group is wholly-owned by LET Group Chairman, Andrew Lo Kai Bang.Source: https://www.asgam.com/index.php/2023/05/28/suntrust-agrees-to-new-us6-million-loan-from-let-group-chairman-andrew-lo-for-manila-casino-project/Suntrust did not reveal whether the loan is linked in any way to its failure to pay Php336 million (US$6.2 million) in interest owing to another LET Group subsidiary, Summit Ascent Holdings, on convertible bonds subscribed to in late 2020. Summit Ascent, operator of Russian casino-resort Tigre de Cristal, said in January that it was “in discussions with Suntrust on the payment arrangement of the overdue interest but no concrete plan has been reached as at the date of this announcement.”
