Apollo Global Management Inc. is exploring a potential acquisition of U.K. gambling group William Hill Plc, people familiar with the matter tell Bloomberg News.
The buyout firm has approached William Hill to discuss a potential deal, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Shares of the bookmaker have risen 19% in London trading this year, giving the company a market value of about 2.4 billion pounds ($3 billion).
After me saying last night a TO wasn't on the cards.

Response to speculation regarding William Hill plc
The Board of William Hill plc ("William Hill") notes the recent press speculation regarding a possible offer for William Hill. It confirms that it has received separate cash proposals from Apollo Management International LLP (together with Apollo Global Management, Inc. and its other subsidiaries, "Apollo") and Caesars Entertainment, Inc. ("Caesars").
Following an initial written proposal from Apollo on 27 August 2020, William Hill received a further proposal from Apollo and proposals from Caesars.
Discussions between William Hill and the respective parties are ongoing. There can be no certainty that any offer for William Hill will be made, nor as to the terms on which any offer might be made.
In accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, each of Apollo and Caesars are required, by not later than 5.00 p.m. (London time) on 23 October 2020 (being 28 days after today's date), to either announce a firm intention to make an offer for William Hill in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code or announce that they do not intend to make an offer, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies. This deadline may be extended with the consent of the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Panel") in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code.
This statement is being made by William Hill without the prior agreement or approval of Apollo or Caesars.
A further announcement will be made if and when appropriate.
Must be a good second offer as its being considered...
