Billionaire Fertitta’s Golden Nugget Taps Loan Market to Refinance Debt

Billionaire Tilman Fertitta’s casino business Golden Nugget Inc. is tapping the leveraged loan market to refinance debt, after the firm’s parent company nixed plans to be taken public via a blank-check entity.

Golden Nugget is offering a $1.85 billion seven-year loan to investors, according to Bloomberg. The company also plans to issue a $1.85 billion secured bond and an additional unsecured bond of the same size. Along with a new revolving credit facility, proceeds from the offerings will be used to refinance existing debt.

Ex-Citi Exec, SPAC Directors Must Face Trial Over MultiPlan Deal

Former Citigroup executive Michael Klein and his blank check firm’s former directors must face a shareholder lawsuit challenging its $11 billion merger with health care-focused data analytics company MultiPlan (NYSE:MPLN), a Delaware judge said.

On Monday, Vice Chancellor Lori Will of the Delaware Chancery Court declined to drop claims accusing Klein and the SPAC’s other board members of illegally preventing shareholders from selling their shares back to the SPAC before the October 2020 merger.

Churchill Capital III shareholders approved its business combination with MultiPlan on October 7, 2020.
