FTC issues second request on Caesars-Fertitta deal

Disclosed 17 September 2026 - Caesars says the FTC issued a Second Request to Caesars and Fertitta Entertainment on 14 September, extending the Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period until 30 days after both sides substantially comply and pushing any close further out. The ~$17.6bn all-cash take-private at $31 a share still faces a shareholder vote on 22 September, which does not resolve the antitrust review.
