PartyGaming Approaches Empire Online About a Takeover

By Paul Jarvis

 

 

Nov. 3 (Bloomberg) -- PartyGaming Plc, the world's largest

online poker operator, said it may buy Empire Online Ltd. to

gain a greater share of the growing Internet gambling market.

The takeover approach is subject to ``a number of material

pre-conditions,'' including an examination of Empire's accounts

and the outlook for its business, Gibraltar-based PartyGaming

said today in a Regulatory News Service statement.

PartyGaming is moving to expand with an acquisition after

saying in September it expected growth in the online-gaming market

to slow. That announcement triggered a 33 percent plunge by the

company's stock on Sept. 6 and sparked concern about the industry's

outlook after investors snapped up shares of PartyGaming and rivals

in initial public offerings earlier this year.

Shares of Empire Online rose 8.5 pence, or 7.4 percent, to

124 pence, the day's peak, at 8:06 a.m. in London. The gain

boosted the company's market value to 364.5 million pounds ($647 million). Investors paid 175 pence each for the shares in June's

IPO. The company in September ended talks on a possible takeover

by Sportingbet Plc.

PartyGaming stock advanced 2.25 pence, or 2.4 percent, to

95.25 pence. The shares were sold for 116 pence each when the

company became publicly traded.

Potential Party offer for Empire much lower than rumoured

 

Industry commentators were quick to play down speculation regarding how much PartyGaming might be willing to put on the table should it go ahead with a takeover bid for Empire Online.

By acquiring Empire, PartyGaming would be buying players, affiliates and marketing expertise. “How much PartyGaming is willing to pay for those depends on how it views Empire’s prospects in the near future and beyond”, said the commentator. He added that PartyGaming “doesn’t need to buy Empire Poker at the moment”, saying it can afford to wait until the price has come down to a level it is happy with.
