(18 January 2016, Hong Kong) Landing International Development Limited (“Landing International” or the “Company”, HKEx Code: 00582) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned Landing Casino, located at the five-star Hyatt Regency Jeju Hotel in Korea, achieved top ranking among 17 casinos in Korea with ‘Excellent’ grade in 2015 in the Anti-Money Laundering Assessment conducted by the Financial Services Commission in Korea, representing a leap from ranking 10^th in 2014 since the Company’s acquisition of the casino in April 2014.

The Anti-Money Laundering Assessment was established in 2007 by the Financial Intelligence Unit, a complex administrative agency under the Financial Services Commission in Korea, with an aim of promoting appropriate settlement and implementation of anti-money laundering system and preventing international terrorists’ financing by objectively assessing the implementation of anti-money laundering system among financial institutions in Korea. In 2015, assessment targets included domestic and foreign securities companies, insurance companies, credit card companies and credit-specialized financial companies, etc., while casino businesses were included as assessment targets since 2014. In 2015, Korea assumed the position of President of Financial Action Task Force, an affiliated agency of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”), to reinforce anti-money laundering in Korea. In addition, the Jeju government has established the Casino Regulations Division and recently announced revision of relevant ordinances and rules, in an effort to bring the casino industry in Jeju to an advanced level.

Mr. Yang Zhihui, Chairman of Landing International, said, “I am honored to have our Landing Casino achieving top ranking in the Anti-Money Laundering Assessment. This achievement is a fruit of joint efforts of the Jeju government, the casino industry and the Group. Since our acquisition of the casino in 2014, we have adopted advanced knowhow and operated the business in a transparent way while complying with regulatory requirements to develop the project into a world-class casino. The top ranking is a recognition from the Korean government to the Group’s ongoing effort. Looking forward, we will continue to adhere to international operation and management to attract more foreign investors and contribute to a sustainable development of the tourism industry in Jeju.”
