Bally’s Raise $671 Million in Shares to Fund Gamesys Deal

Bally’s Corporation announced that it completed its previously announced underwritten public offering of common stock at a price to the public of $55.00 per share. Bally’s issued a total of 12.65 million shares of common stock in the offering, which included 1.65 million shares issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

The net proceeds from the offering were approximately US $671.4 million (£482 million/€559 million), after deducting underwriting discounts, but before expenses. Bally’s intends to apply the net proceeds from the offering to fund a portion of the cash consideration payable to shareholders of Gamesys.

If the deal is not consummated, Bally’s expects to apply the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of debt, repurchases of its common stock, capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments.
