Caesars Shareholders Vote Sept. 22 on $17.6B Fertitta Buyout as Directors Resign

Summary
Caesars shareholders vote Sept. 22 on Tilman Fertitta's $17.6B all-cash buyout that would take the company private and delist it from Nasdaq. The deal includes $11.9B in debt. Directors Jesse Lynn and Ted Papapostolou resigned immediately, and Icahn Group waived its right to appoint replacements.
