Just checking up here to see what's going on. Nothing I see. If Apollo do make a bid on say the last day 23rd, does that mean the time line is extended so that Caesar can come back with a larger offer?. Anyone know?

[tomv33] 12/10/2020 10:06

Won't effect them, everyone is doing online gambling or the US gambling

Any thoughts on govt tier 3 shutting down bookies?

I just find that rns on 9th Oct, I can only assume that they have to submit this form before any bid. Anybody else know.

[fletcher270] 09/10/2020 10:02

Rns have advised of Apollo opening bid but not stated what the bid is what's the point they don't appear to own any shares in WMH

[oneillshaun] 08/10/2020 17:12

Reject the offer

[fletcher270] 08/10/2020 12:53

Including the £150,000,000 from the tax man

[oneillshaun] 08/10/2020 12:38

Monster results from Ladbrokes/GVC for the Q. Hills results jumped back by a month to ensure not included in the month bid period....how convenientWell done to all Caesar shareholders

[oneillshaun] 07/10/2020 18:41

They will put out monster results, huge dividend like 888 and Shareholders wont get it as it will get swallowed in the takeover.

[adeg] 07/10/2020 07:32

It now depends on how much money is in the Caesars Cayman Island bank account.

[tomv33] 07/10/2020 07:13

10p above the takeover sp, people are defo confident for a counter bid

[tomv33] 06/10/2020 17:41

Possible of another bid by then

[fletcher270] 06/10/2020 17:25

When the vote comes to say yes or no it will be down to the trust funds etc and depend when they bought 3 years ago WMH were £3.30

[tomv33] 06/10/2020 08:02

We don't know how much they already have in cash to make buys though

[oneillshaun] 06/10/2020 08:00

1 billion will not even scratch the surface on any of these companies.

[tomv33] 05/10/2020 19:02

Draftkings raises 1 billion dollars! For hill, gvc or 888?

[adeg] 05/10/2020 14:17

Apollo have already made two written proposals. They have until 5pm on the 23rd October to make a firm offer or withdraw.

I don't think there will be anything from Apollo until the morning of the 23rd, they have nothing to gain by declaring their hand early. By waiting they could force Caesars into upping their offer.

Response to speculation regarding William Hill plc

The Board of William Hill plc ("William Hill") notes the recent press speculation regarding a possible offer for William Hill. It confirms that it has received separate cash proposals from Apollo Management International LLP (together with Apollo Global Management, Inc. and its other subsidiaries, "Apollo") and Caesars Entertainment, Inc. ("Caesars").

Following an initial written proposal from Apollo on 27 August 2020, William Hill received a further proposal from Apollo and proposals from Caesars.

Discussions between William Hill and the respective parties are ongoing. There can be no certainty that any offer for William Hill will be made, nor as to the terms on which any offer might be made.

In accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, each of Apollo and Caesars are required, by not later than 5.00 p.m. (London time) on 23 October 2020 (being 28 days after today's date), to either announce a firm intention to make an offer for William Hill in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code or announce that they do not intend to make an offer, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies. This deadline may be extended with the consent of the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Panel") in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code.

This statement is being made by William Hill without the prior agreement or approval of Apollo or Caesars.

A further announcement will be made if and when appropriate

When is the deadline?

[tomv33] 05/10/2020 09:06

That's what I'm trying to work out... I think they have, but I'm not sure... I think apollo may come in or other may come in with a bid very close to the deadline to scare Caesars

[spartan attack] 05/10/2020 08:00

[oohrogerpalmer] 04/10/2020 21:45

And if so do we know what price??

[tomv33] 04/10/2020 21:16
