SINGAPORE (May 24): Shares of Cityneon Holdings, which surged 16.1% to close at 68.5 cents on Monday, could have been triggered by a foreign news report, the company says in response to a query by the Singapore Exchange.

Yesterday, Malaysia-based news portal The Star Online reported that Cityneon is expected to "contribute significantly" to Malaysia-listed Star Media Group, which holds a 64% stake in Cityneon.

"It has come to our attention that there is an online news report issued by Star Media Group after its annual general meeting held yesterday," Cityneon says.

According to the report, Cityneon's acquisition of Victory Hill Exhibitions is expected to bring positive contribution to Star Media Group based on preliminary market evaluation.

"This investment has proven to be a promising one. We can see the response from the market which have been very good. We now have shows in Paris, and will be starting soon in Las Vegas for the Marvel characters and towards the end of the year we will be starting the Transformers show in Las Vegas," Star Media Group chairman Fu Ah Kiow was quoted as saying.

Cityneon is not aware of any other reasons that may explain the surge in its share price.
