Caesars Settle to Restructure Debt

Caesars has a debt pile of almost $18 billion, the largest in gaming history.

US casino giant Caesars Entertainment has come to a settlement with private equity backers Apollo Global and TPG to emerge from an $18 billion bankruptcy.

A report in the Financial Times newspaper indicated that the framework includes plans for second-lien bondholder Junior to set aside its lawsuits in exchange for receiving 66 cents in the dollar for its claims, up from a previous offer of 39 cents.

Junior had been pursuing claims of asset-stripping by both Apollo and TPG, but has agreed to the new deal, which will require a contribution from a number of other stakeholders in Caesars.

Apollo and TPG will relinquish their stake in Caesars Entertainment Corporation, the listed parent company, which is worth $950 million, but retain a small stake in Caesars through another listed affiliate company.

The framework is awaiting approval from creditor groups, while confirmation of the bankruptcy must be made in court next year.
