Blackstone Reportedly Considers to Buy Star Entertainment New York-based private equity firm Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:BX) is believed to considering acquiring The Star Entertainment Group Limited (ASX:SGR). There's talk that Blackstone is once again having some serious conversations about taking over Star Entertainment, which would provide synergies with its existing Australian casino operator, Crown Resorts, which operates in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth. Earlier, the understanding was that the NSW government was opposed to both Sydney casinos being owned by one operator, but with the possibility of a Star collapse, it may be changing its -position. It's likely that Blackstone would make a move on Star once it has entered voluntary administration. Sources say the chance to gain Star's gaming machines, should the NSW government allow Crown operate pokies, is a key attraction. Ankündigung • Jan 08

Bain Capital Reportedly Keen to Add Accolade Wines Another suitor has emerged for the embattled Australian wine company Accolade Wines Australia Limited - Bain Capital, LP, which is understood to have added Accolade to its shopping list of distressed targets. It's already eyeing a debt deal with Star Entertainment after refinancing Sanjeev Gupta's steel business InfraBuild and buying Virgin Australia out of administration in 2020 for $700 million. The talk in the market is that Bain - like another Australian mystery suitor - is looking to gain control of the company through the back door by acquiring its debt at a price between 25c and 35c in the dollar. It comes after DataRoom reported that an Australian fund was making efforts to buy Accolade's debt at 40c in the dollar from its lenders, which are advised by Moelis. The play has been to acquire the business and break it up. Accolade last week sold its House of Arras brand to Handpicked Wines, with sources suggesting the business may be worth about $60 million or $70 million. The company is advised by Rothschild & Co SCA (ENXTPA:ROTH). Ankündigung • Jul 06
