In Brief: Harrah's, shareholders agree to settle lawsuit
3 Apr 2007
LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- Harrah's Entertainment and some stockholders agreed in principal Monday to settle a class action lawsuit involving the proposed buyout of the gaming company by private equity investors.
A number of stockholders filed a class action lawsuit in November challenging the proposed per share price of $83.50. The offer has since been raised to $90 per share.
Harrah's is seeking regulatory approval for a $17.1 billion buyout by Apollo Management and Texas Pacific Group.
The court hearing came ahead of Thursday's slated stockholders meeting to approve the merger.
