South Island-based hotel magnate Earl Hagaman has rearranged the shareholding he controls in Dunedin Casinos as part of his estate planning.

Mr Hagaman has been placing some of his assets, including his 42% shareholding in Dunedin Casinos, into a family trust called the Casino Trust.

Consent was required from the Overseas Investment Commission because he has chosen one of his daughters to be a trustee.

She is a US resident and one of three Hagaman offspring living there, so she will represent their interests over 27% of the voting securities of Dunedin Casino's and a share in voting power to appoint directors of Dunedin Casinos. The casino leases space in Dunedin's Southern Cross Hotel, the flagship for the Scenic Circle Hotels chain.

Mr Hagaman co-founded the Scenic Circle chain in the mid-1980s.
