PROVIDENCE, R.I., April 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Bally's Corporation (NYSE: BALY) ("Bally's") today 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 $671.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, but before expenses.
