Macau, Wednesday, April 13, 2022 – Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited (Nasdaq: MLCO) (“Melco” or the “Company”), a developer, owner, and operator of integrated resort facilities in Asia and Europe, is aware that the Company has been identified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act of the United States (the "HFCAA") on April 12, 2022. Similar to other companies that have also been identified, Melco notes such identification resulted from the Company’s filing of its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Melco has previously disclosed that its auditor, the independent registered public accounting firm that issued the audit report included in its annual report filed with the SEC, is in a jurisdiction currently listed as not being able to be fully inspected by the PCAOB, and thus the identification was expected. Melco will continue to closely monitor developments and explore options in relation to the HFCAA.
