Genting (GENT MK)'s Offer for Genting Malaysia (GENM MK) is further evidence of the gaming group's move for even greater U.S. exposure. 
Preceding my comments on GENT are the current setup/unwind tables for Asia-Pacific Holdcos.
These relationships trade with a minimum liquidity of US$1mn, and a % market capitalisation &gt;20%.
