(United Kingdom).- Private equity group Apollo Global Management has today backed out of a race to buy William Hill, paving the way for US casino operator Caesars Entertainment to acquire the British bookmaker.
Caesars in September had agreed to buy the gambling group for £2.9 billion to expand in the fast-growing US sports-betting market, after beating out Apollo.
The possibility of Apollo firming up its bid faded after Caesars made it clear it could terminate the deal, if William Hill decided to proceed with another offer from rival parties mentioned in a list set by Caesars.
However, Apollo has said the decision to not make an offer for the entire company does not affect its other plans, referring to its intention to buy William Hill's UK assets.
Sources had told Reuters in September that Caesars could sell William Hill's UK assets to Apollo as part of its deal, under which it seeks to sell the bookmaker's non-US operations.
