Caesars Shareholders to Vote on Fertitta Deal in September
Caesars Entertainment has scheduled a special shareholder meeting for September 22, 2026 to vote on its proposed acquisition by Fertitta Gaming Holdco.
Under the agreement signed on May 27, 2026, Fertitta Gaming Holdco will acquire Caesars for $31 per share in cash. After the merger, Caesars would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Fertitta Gaming Holdco and would no longer operate as a publicly traded company.
The meeting will take place at the Eldorado Resort & Casino in Reno, Nevada. Shareholders who owned Caesars stock at the close of business on August 21, 2026 will be eligible to vote.
Caesars’ board of directors stated:
The merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are fair to, and in the best interests of, the company and its stockholders.
The board has recommended that shareholders approve the transaction.
Investors will also vote on merger-related executive compensation and a proposal allowing the meeting to be adjourned if more time is needed to collect votes.
Approval of the merger requires support from holders of a majority of Caesars’ outstanding shares entitled to vote.
