Caesars Entertainment Corporation Buy for Carl Icahn

Significant trade:

Based on a Friday report by the Las Vegas Review-Journal paper, 83-year-old Icahn currently controls 15.53% of the New York-listed operator supporting several 25 American casinos including the iconic Caesars Palace Las Vegas Hotel and Casino after he purchased an additional 38.9 million shares each priced at between $8.50 and $8.55.

Vegas -headquartered Caesars is the world ’s fourth-largest casino operator in terms of annual revenues while the paper reported that Icahn obtained the additional shareholding on Thursday via his Icahn Partners LP, High River Limited Partnership and Icahn Partners Master Fund LP vehicles.

Regulatory review:

This move means that Icahn is currently due to be predicted before Nevada regulators for the purposes of determining his suitability for a casino license.

Regeneration regime:

The past season has seen the worth of shares in Caesars Entertainment decrease by approximately 30 percent and Icahn has reportedly been a leading proponent of attempts that could observe the casino giant revitalize its potential fortunes by selling any or all its assets into rivals like Eldorado Resorts Incorporated or even MGM Resorts International. He also inked a deal a little over a week ago that involved the operator naming a trio of new change-friendly supervisors to its own board and gave him the ability to appoint a fourth should the company not be able to discover a suitable replacement for its outgoing Chief Executive Officer, Mark Frissora, by April 15.
