William Hill PLC statement on proposed Eldorado Resorts acquisition of Caesars Entertainment

William Hill notes the announcement on June 24 by Eldorado Resorts regarding its proposed acquisition of Caesars Entertainment.

William Hill entered into a strategic partnership with its long term business partner Eldorado in September 2018. Under the agreement, William Hill gained the right to exclusively operate sports books at all properties owned or managed by Eldorado in the United States and to operate mobile sports betting in states where Eldorado obtains a license. These rights apply to casino properties owned or managed by Eldorado when the strategic partnership was signed and any subsequent acquisitions. Therefore, the rights apply to casinos currently owned or managed by Caesars if Eldorado’s acquisition of Caesars is completed.
