William Hill to Seek More Cash – November 13th, 2009
With an issue date of 12 November 2009, the income from the bonds will serve to extend the bookmakers’ existing banking facilities due to expire in 2011 by five years, and raise its coverage to GBP 838 million.
The bond issue follows a GBP 350 million share issue in April this year (see previous EasyPlay.Vegas reports) which was used to restructure GBP 1.2 billion of debt due to mature in March 2010.
