Caesars Entertainment Announces Agreement with Carl C. IcahnReading Time: 3 minutes

 

Three New Directors Appointed to Board

 

Caesars Entertainment Corporation announced that it has entered into an agreement with Carl C. Icahn and affiliated entities regarding, among other things, the membership and composition of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Under the terms of the agreement, Keith Cozza, Courtney Mather and James Nelson are being appointed to Caesars’ Board of Directors, effective immediately.  These appointments are subject to customary regulatory approval. In connection with the director appointments, three existing directors will step down from the Board, effective immediately. The agreement also provides the Icahn Group the right to appoint a fourth representative to the Board if a new Chief Executive Officer who is acceptable to new directors is not named within 45 days of this agreement.

“Our new colleagues bring diverse and relevant experience, and we look forward to them joining our board in our ongoing efforts to further enhance value for all shareholders,” said James Hunt, Chairman of the Board. “Since the completion of Caesars’ restructuring, we have been undergoing a strategic process to create value, and we will continue that process working with our new directors.” Hunt added, “On behalf of the entire Board and Caesars’ nearly 68,000 employees, I want to thank our departing director colleagues for their distinguished and tireless service to the Company.”

Carl Icahn commented: “I believe the best path forward for Caesars requires a thorough strategic process to sell or merge the company to further develop its already strong regional presence, which will allow Caesars to continue to take advantage of the Caesars Rewards program bringing more and more players into Caesars’ Vegas market. I expect this to make Caesars the most powerful competitor in Vegas, the gaming capital of the world.  Caesars would be a great opportunity for certain investors who have already expressed interest, and I’m glad the Board will explore these opportunities.  Independent of strategic alternatives, I believe Caesars should also be focused on leadership succession, disciplined capital allocation, improving operating performance and optimizing real estate and other assets.”

Messrs. Mather and Cozza will each serve a term expiring at Caesars Entertainment’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2019 Annual Meeting”), and will be nominated by the Company on its slate of nominees for election as directors at the 2019 Annual Meeting. Mr. Nelson will serve in the class of directors who will be elected at the 2020 Annual Stockholders Meeting.

Pursuant to the agreement, the Icahn Group, which beneficially owns 9.78% of Caesars’ outstanding shares, has agreed to vote all of its shares in favor of each of Caesars’ Board nominees at the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting, which has not yet been scheduled and thereafter while its designees are board members. The Icahn Group will also be subject to certain customary standstill provisions.

Mr. Cozza will join the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee, Mr. Mather will be appointed to the Company’s Compensation and Management Development Committee, and Mr. Nelson will be appointed to the Company’s Audit Committee. Additionally, Messrs. Cozza and Mather will be appointed to the Strategy and Finance Committee and the Ad Hoc CEO Search Committee.

In connection with the 2019 Annual Meeting, the Board will propose further enhancements to its governance processes, asking that stockholders approve amendments to its Certificate of Incorporation to (i) permit stockholders owning at least 15% of the Company’s outstanding shares to call a special meeting of stockholders and (ii) prohibit the adoption of a stockholder rights plan with a triggering threshold below 20% of the then outstanding shares, except in limited circumstances.

Meridianbet, a member of the Golden Matrix Group (NASDAQ: GMGI), in partnership with Meridianbet Foundation, Expanse Studios, and BC Crvena zvezda Meridianbet announces the launch of a significant humanitarian initiative, ‘Scan. Help.’, aimed at supporting maternity hospitals across Southeast Europe.

The rollout of this action to other market territories is expected in the remainder of 2024.

How It Works

For every scanned QR code and subsequent registration on the Meridian Foundation’s website, funds will be allocated towards equipping five maternity hospitals in Serbia. This innovative approach not only raises awareness but also actively involves the community in our CSR activities.

The initiative is currently ongoing with high media presence and is broadcasted during Southeast Europe’s regional basketball Finals series (ABA League). BC Red Star players wear jerseys featuring the QR code, with additional promotion through basketball arena ads, TV ads, and more, encouraging fans and supporters to participate.

A Unified Effort for Community Impact

The ‘Scan. Help.’ campaign is a collaborative effort involving Meridianbet, Meridianbet foundation, Expanse Studios, and basketball club Crvena zvezda Meridianbet, Southeast Europe’s leading basketball club, of which Meridianbet is the name sponsor. The initiative is designed to leverage our collective resources and influence to make a meaningful impact on local communities.

Multi-Stakeholder Support and Growing Participation

The ‘Scan. Help.’ campaign has received institutional support ad backing from the Ministry of Health, reinforcing the importance and legitimacy of this cause. Additionally, several companies have already expressed their desire to contribute, with provisions made for donations through the Meridian Foundation’s account. This broadening support network amplifies the initiative’s reach and potential impact.

This campaign exemplifies Meridianbet’s dedication to sustainable development and community well-being. In 2023 alone, the company has launched 225 CSR campaigns, reflecting the commitment to making a lasting impact.
