Australia.- The Star Entertainment Group has issued a statement saying it has not yet reached an agreement with joint venture partners,Chow Tai Fook Enterprises Limited (CTFE) and Far East Consortium International (FEC) for its 50 per cent stake in Destination Brisbane, owner of The Star Brisbane integrated resort.

The company reiterated that it received offers from its joint venture partners on February 10. However, its board concluded that the proposals did not provide sufficient value for the company. On Thursday (March 4), media reported that Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and the Far East Consortium would provide the company with a loan of AU$50m (US$31.6m) to help the Star avoid administration.

A week ago, the casino operator announced a trading halt due to speculation about its finances. The company said it was exploring potential solutions to improve its liquidity position.
