SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australian casino operator Star Entertainment Group on Monday proposed an all-stock buyout of larger rival Crown Resorts Ltd that it valued at A$9 billion ($7 billion), taking on two private equity giants for control of the troubled company.
Three months after Crown was declared unfit for a gambling licence at its new Sydney resort tower, Star said the share-swap takeover approach would create one of the largest and most attractive integrated resort operators in the Asia Pacific region .
The move presents Crown shareholders with a third option after buyout giant Blackstone Group earlier upped its all-cash indicative bid to A$8.4 billion, while Oaktree Capital Group has proposed to bankroll a A$3 billion buyback of Crown s founder s stake, removing a regulatory concern.
