Studio City International Holdings said the appointment of Mr Benning would take effect “once the travel restrictions in Macau and the Philippines currently in place as a result of Covid-19 have been lifted,” so that the two executives are able to travel.
“Until the appointment of Mr Benning becomes effective, Mr Andres will continue in his current role as property president at Studio City,” the statement added.
