Barry Diller’s $18 Billion MGM Bid Could Change Who Runs the Strip
Barry Diller’s People Incorporated offered $48.30 per share in cash to buy the MGM Resorts International shares it doesn’t own, valuing MGM at over $18 billion including debt. MGM stock jumped 13% to $49.35, above the offer price. The non-binding bid is 10.6% above MGM’s last close. People already owns 26.1% of MGM. The deal would take MGM private, but still needs a binding agreement, financing, and regulatory approval.
