Entain PLC - London-based gaming and sports-betting firm - Prices and allocates $1.00 billion first lien term loan B, with a maturity date of October 2029. Ups the loans from $750 million, following "strong demand from global credit investors". Says the loan will be used to finance the acquisition of SuperSport Group, expected to complete during the fourth quarter, and to maximise its liquidity and provide further balance sheet flexibility. Notes that the acquisition of BetCity, which is also expected to be complete in the fourth quarter of this year, will no longer require drawings on the company's revolving credit facility.
In August, Entain announced that it will buy a 75% stake in SuperSport, the gaming and sportsbook operator in Croatia. It agreed to pay €600 million at completion and a further €90 million based on SuperSport's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation for 2022.
