888 Holdings anticipates completing its purchase of William Hill’s assets outside the United States in the second quarter of 2022. This represents a minor postponement from the original Q1 completion goal declared in November.
The firm indicated it will release a joint prospectus for the acquisition and funding in Q2, succeeded by shareholder ballots to authorize the transaction. The funding strategy, which entails raising a total of £5 billion (roughly $6.755 billion) via fresh share offerings, was detailed in November.
Having secured all essential antitrust and gaming regulatory clearances, the acquisition is projected to conclude upon fulfillment of the remaining stipulations.
To recap, 888 consented to acquire William Hill’s non-US operations from its parent entity, Caesars Entertainment, for £2.2 billion ($2.9 billion) back in September following a competitive bidding procedure.
This acquisition marks a significant turning point for 888, establishing a worldwide online wagering and gaming leader with augmented reach, a varied brand collection, and a robust foundation for future expansion.
A prominent gaming and leisure corporation, 888, is divesting two of its lotto segments. Both the business-to-business and business-to-consumer lotto units will be acquired by Saphalata Holdings, an internet gaming firm, for a combined sum of $50 million. The transaction is anticipated to finalize in the second quarter of 2022, which is already looking to be an active period for 888.
