Riviera Stockholders Object to Buyout Offer
Riviera agreed last week to be bought by Riv Acquisition Holdings Inc., a private investment group, for about $211.5 million in cash. Riv Acquisition also agreed to assume or repay $215 million in the casino company's debt.
The D.E. Shaw Group, which holds about 1.2 million shares in Riviera and says it is the company's largest shareholder, said in a letter to Riviera Holdings Chief Executive William Westerman that the offer "substantially undervalues the company's assets -- especially its land on the Las Vegas Strip."
The group said the offer values the 26 acres of land Riviera owns in Las Vegas at $10.3 million per acre, which is less than the value implied in other deals.
