Market Chatter: Jefferies Seeks $5 Billion Debt Financing for Icahn's Potential Rival Bid for Caesars

MT Newswires Live07-08

Jefferies (JEF) is seeking investor interest for about $5 billion in debt financing to support Icahn Enterprises' (IEP) potential rival bid for Caesars Entertainment (CZR), Bloomberg reported late Tuesday.

Icahn is considering an offer that would challenge Tilman Fertitta's $5.7 billion all-cash deal for the casino operator, the report said.

Caesars is currently in a "go-shop" period that allows it to consider competing bids through July 11, it added. Icahn, who has two representatives on Caesars' board, has reportedly offered $33 per share, topping Fertitta's $31-per-share proposal.

Jefferies, Caesars Entertainment, and Icahn Enterprises did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
