Caesars Entertainment announced that it is conducting a private placement to sell $1.5 billion in corporate debt to accredited institutional buyers.
Caesars benefits from the transactions in that it continues to reduce leverage, lowers interest expenses, and improves its maturity profile. However, the significance of the bond sale extends beyond this.
First off, it demonstrates that gaming companies can obtain funding, even those like Caesars that are heavily indebted. At a time when interest rates are at their highest points in two decades, that point shouldn't be minimized.
