Endeavour Group has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Silver Lake. Silver Lake, a technology investment company, will acquire 100% of its outstanding shares that it does not already hold.

Shareholders will receive $27.50 per share with a 55% premium at a price of $17.72 from October 25, 2023, the day before Endeavor announces its strategic review.

Silver Lake said it could grow to $25 billion when considering the total consolidated enterprise value, but that values the acquisition at $13 billion.

If so, Silver Lake claims this would be “the largest investment transaction between private equity sponsor companies in more than a decade and the largest ever in media and entertainment.”

Of course, the deal comes two months after Endeavor announced it was merging two of its own brands, OpenBet and IMG Arena.

Silver Lake currently has more than $102 billion in assets across North America, Europe and Asia, with its portfolio generating more than $250 billion in annual revenue.

Endeavor CEO Ariel Emanuel said, “Since 2012, Endeavor’s strategic partnership with Silver Lake and Egon Durban has been central to our evolution to today’s global sports and entertainment leaders.

“We believe the transaction will maximize the value of all of Endeavour’s public shareholders, and we are excited to continue to open up and invest in future growth opportunities as a private company.”

The $25 billion valuation takes into account the value of Endeavour media giant TKO, which was created through a merger between UFC and WWE.

TKO is considered separate from Silver Lake’s acquisition and will still work with Endeavour but will remain a publicly traded company.

“The Silver Lake team is proud of our long-standing partnership with Endeavor, which has generated more than $3.5 billion in direct investment across six different transactions over 12 years,” said Steven Evans, managing director and director of Endeavor

Endeavour’s independent director special committee unanimously recommended the acquisition at its latest meeting.

Egan Durban, co-CEO of Silver Lake, managing partner, and chairman of Endeavor’s board, said: “Our unwavering faith in Ari and Patrick, along with Mark and Endeavor’s other talented leaders, has never been stronger.

“We generated $350 million in annual revenue when we first invested in 2012, generating nearly $6 billion in consolidated revenue today.  무료 슬롯

“In line with our mission and underscoring that it is one of the biggest commitments in Silver Lake history, we are working with our Endeavour team and trusted anchor investors to accelerate large-scale growth to create value.”

The huge loss for Macau’s casino industry during the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be due to travel restrictions that have made it impossible for foreign tourists and mainland China and Hong Kong to visit the city. With revenue growing again and tournament poker back, there’s a lot for players to look forward to.

New tournaments in six years:

Sands China will host the tournament, and potential players will be able to compete in Venice Macao.

This is the first time in six years that Macau is hosting a poker tournament. One event called Macau Masters will last for four days. The purchase costs HK$3,000 ($384). The purchase includes three flights on Day 1, with unlimited repurchases that can be refunded for the entire registration period.

After the flight, the top 30 chip stacks will have the opportunity to compete during the final day, which will be held on Thursday, March 14, as officials announced.

Currently, Sands China is offering cash game poker in Macau. The company is one of three total locations that offer this service in Macau, along with Wynn Macao and MGM China. However, despite its popularity, the poker tournament was almost forgotten because the last tournament of this gaming paradise was held in 2018.

At the time, the PokerStars Live room was held at the City of Dreams. The venue also held a large-scale event called the 2018 Macao Millions in the same year, with 2,499 players participating in the main event at the time.

As reported by Inside Asian Gaming, Andy Kobel, senior vice president of casino operations at Sands China, thinks positively that the tournament will help improve the gambling experience for his loyal customers and grow this major Asian market at the same time. He said the local market has “reacted well to the offering of poker.”

WPT in Macau:

Sands China is running the main event alone, and Kobel hopes it will be a harbinger of other events to be held in Sands China in the future. When asked about this, he replied, “We’re always looking for new opportunities, and competitions of different sizes and frequencies are definitely some of those opportunities.”

What does it mean for the city’s poker industry? According to industry news, a lot will happen in Macau. The World Poker Tour (WPT), one of the biggest poker tournaments in the world, recently announced that it would like to host a tournament in Macau, and CEO Adam Pliska confirmed this claim.

Last December, he said, “Macao has some structural issues that make it particularly difficult for dealers, but we are committed. We will arrive in Macau. We will cooperate with the government and with anyone else so that we can have a good event.” However, Kovel did not want to comment on any allegations of negotiations between Sands China and the WPT.  카지노사이트 순위

Some hotel owners believe in superstitions and are ready to take actions that many would find laughable when they start a business. Such actions sometimes include excluding certain room numbers to make customers wander through the halls in search of room 13 without knowing that they have included room number 12A to avoid bad luck and a shortage of customers in the early days of business.

$307 million selling price:

Such an owner would, therefore, consider it natural for Macau Hotel THE 13 to demand the best bid to sell the property, which has gone bankrupt and is in question at a suggested price of $307 million. The bid will reportedly be overseen by property firm Jones Lang LaSalle and will be available by April 5, 2024, by more than 20 parties who have expressed interest in the property.

The source reported that when hotel owners declared bankruptcy last year, many of the 196 rooms were not completed, so the bidding price would definitely be part of the investment needed for resort accommodation. As reported, THE 13″s insolvency was a direct liquidation result of its sole beneficial owner, New Concordia Hotels Limited. Concordia, under pressure from creditors, was forced by its parent South Shore Holdings to make a voluntary liquidation request in a Macau court, according to the IAG.

Delayed Resort Launch:

The flow of such events reportedly came from the development of a resort that made the launch of THE 13 ill-timed. According to a report by IAG, Stephen Hung, the president of THE 13, envisioned a luxury resort in the early 2010s that would include 66 VIP gaming tables, which were then expected to provide top-notch services for Macau’s booming VIP sector. However, times were changing, as the property was reportedly facing investment and construction delays, and would only open in 2018. According to reports, the hotel spent $1.6 billion witnessing rapid developments in the competitor-handled VIP gaming tables and public gaming sectors.

Failing such a high price, it was reported that the owner, Souther, was forced to suspend all operations and declare bankruptcy in October 2021. The creditor, who made a statutory payment request for the $423 million outstanding debt amid the threat of a court petition, stamped his stamp on the fate of Concorde and THE13. According to sources, Chairman Peter Corker Jr. resigned from his position at the company in October 2022 to close the story of the failure.

Waiting for the highest bid:

From the beginning of the article, the imaginary hotel owner criticized the resort’s name and stuck to a room number pattern. But the U.S. Department of Justice seems to have been less superstitious. Sources said they accused the resigned chairman, Peter Corker Jr., of manipulating stock prices and arrested him in Thailand in January 2023. Thirteen are currently waiting for the best bid to start all over, with good luck.  바카라사이트

After 58 minutes, replacement is out without an attack point
Tottenham were beaten 0-4 by Newcastle

Son Heung-min had his worst day ever. Tottenham’s “captain” Son Heung-min started the game but failed to prevent his team’s complete defeat and pushed back the milestone to the next stage.
In an away match against Newcastle in the 33rd round of the 2023-2024 EPL held at St. James’ Park in Newcastle, England on Sunday, Son started as Tottenham’s front-line striker, and played until he was replaced by Dejan Kulusevski at 13 minutes in the second half. This is the shortest substitution that Son has played as a starting player in this season’s league.

Son Heung-min, who played in 29 league matches this season, played as a starter in all but a second-half substitute in the 24th round against Brighton in February, right after the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup.

In most of the games he played as a starter, he played full-time or close to that, and the earliest replacement was in the 24th minute of the second half (against Liverpool in the 7th round in September last year), but he left the ground earlier on the day.

He also failed to add offensive points from 15 goals and 9 assists, and postponed his first 10-goal-10 assist breakthrough in three years to the next.

Newcastle scored goals in the 30th and 32nd minutes of the first half, taking the lead and pushing them. In the 6th minute of the second half, Son Heung-min was involved in additional runs.

In Newcastle’s midfield, Son Heung-min lost the ball to Bruno Guimarães, and Isak received a long pass from Guimarães aiming for the back space and scored a right-footed shot from the left side of the goal area to tilt the score early.

Tottenham, who were on the defensive, tried to change the atmosphere by changing Son Heung-min to Kulusevski in the 13th minute of the second half and sending out Pape Sarr and Pierre-Emile Hoivier instead of Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur, but it didn’t have much effect.

Rather, Newcastle Fabian Shea’s header wedge goal in the 42nd minute of the second half completely broke Tottenham’s willingness to pursue.

Huskydoc, which specializes in soccer statistics, gave Son 5.9 points, the fourth lowest rating among Tottenham players. Newcastle’s Gordon, who had one goal and two assists, received a perfect score of 10.  토토사이트 순위

Tottenham, which recently lost three league games (2 wins and 1 draw), recorded 60 points and a goal difference of +16, losing its fourth place to Aston Villa (60 points and a goal difference of +17), and ranked fifth.
