London-listed Entain said the equivalent of 24.8 Polish zlotys ($5.97) per STS share. The sports betting giant will reportedly pay around £450m in net cash to acquire Poland's leading sports betting operator.
European expansion:
Founded in 1997, the famous Polish bookmaker is licensed to operate in the UK. It seems to have been there that the sports betting giant, which is currently seeking to acquire the operator, paid attention to the quality of its STS operations. After reportedly acquiring Ladbrooks, Coral and bwin, which became Entain's most popular brands, the company decided to add a Polish operator to the group to further support its European-wide expansion.
Funding for the product:
According to Reuters, Entain said the STS offering would be funded by the group's Central and Eastern European verticals, Entain CEE and partner EMA Capital. The funds will be split into 75%: 25% within the joint venture, the same proportion as each ownership of the Entertain CEE.
The company is known to use Morgan Stanley's financial advisory services to "accelerate bookkeeping" and raise around £600m through separate retail offers to investors using dedicated platforms to finance transactions. Meanwhile, Entain is also reported to have said that MSTS CEO Matheus Juroschek and his father would return some of Entain CEE's funds in exchange for a 10% stake in the company.
Entertain CEO Jette Nygaard-Anderson reportedly said. "We are excited to acquire a leading sports betting operator in Poland, a very interesting and fast-growing market. STS is an exceptional business with great brands, strong omnichannel offerings, outstanding CEOs and executives. The deal fits perfectly with the Entain CEE strategy and the broader M&A strategy of acquiring high-quality businesses that are leading the way in attractive, growing and highly regulated markets."
"Expanding through Central and Eastern Europe remains a key component of our growth plan and STS will be an integral part of our platform in the region," Anderson added
Critical growth opportunities:
Mateusz Juroszek, CEO of STS, was quoted as saying. "We are excited to join the board of directors of the Entertain CEE, and we see significant growth opportunities in the Polish market for the Entertain-owned STS. Entain is a global operator and has already invested significantly in the region through SuperSport in Croatia."
Jurosek also mentioned. "We couldn't have found a better partner to help take STS to the next level of growth, and it's clear that Entain shares our ambitions and visions for the future. I look forward to continuing to lead and grow the STS and working closely with the Entain CEE team."
