Investment management fund HBK Investments (HBK) is set to challenge the proposed merger between Caesars and William Hill. Caesars announced earlier this month that it was set to close the £2.9bn William Hill deal by April 1, subject to regulatory approval.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

However, HBK contests that the details within the scheme document – which provides details of the deal including who Caesars can add as ‘restricted acquirers of William Hill’ – must be clarified.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

“Our opposition is based upon our strongly held belief that shareholders voting on the scheme did so without information which would have allowed them to weigh up its true merits,”<\/em> <\/span>HBK Europe Management LLP said.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

In particular, HBK’s concern centered on William Hill’s joint venture agreement with Eldorado Resorts, which later acquired and rebranded as Caesars.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

HBK contests that Caesars’ ability to restrict counterbidders under the terms of this agreement was more limited than the scheme documents suggested.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

The William Hill board has firmly refuted HBK’s suggestion and remains confident that the proposed deal can go ahead as scheduled. It noted that 86.64% of William Hill’s shareholders voted in favor of the deal after several rounds of negotiations with Caesars.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

Under the deal, Caesars will purchase William Hill’s 1.08bn shares for £2.72 each. The operator is expected to offload all but William Hill’s US business after it closes.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

The acquisition follows Caesars’ acquisition by regional operator Eldorado Resorts for $17.3bn in a reverse-merger deal.<\/font><\/p>\n
