Article Summary

HOLD
  • MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) rose more than 11% in premarket trading after billionaire Barry Diller's People Inc. submitted a $48.30-per-share all-cash bid to take the casino operator private, representing a premium of roughly 10% as of the stock's last closing price on Friday.
  • The total deal value also includes the assumption of $6 billion in debt, with Diller's unique position at MGM Resorts making it difficult for external parties to make counteroffers as he holds 26% of voting shares in the casino and resort company along with two board seats, one of which he occupies.
  • Diller announced in April that his holding company, IAC, would rebrand as People Inc., with the corporate identity makeover taking effect from August this year, now concentrating holdings just on media publishing brands such as Investopedia, Care.com, and Angi, with MGM Resorts International maintaining an excellent balance sheet with plenty of cash to pursue opportunities.
