Company Shares Drop
The online casino gambling group and software provider Parlay Entertainment has
announced that company the company no longer has any companies seeking to
acquire the company. Over the past several months several investment companies
and other companies related to the internet gambling industry were in talks with
the online casinos gambling group about acquisition deals. Parlay
Entertainment’s stocks have significantly dropped and the company is in a prime
position sell out – something that would mean that shareholders would get at
least a moderately good price for their shares. But although the negotiations
looked promising, Parlay announced last week that the company turned down all
three of the offers – and that announcement coupled with the lengthy delays and
stalled negotiations over the past several months contributed to the company’s
shares dropping 20 percent in value.
Parlay is a Canadian based online casinos and bingo software developer that has
hit hard times over the past year. This is not uncommon considering the strain
that the U.S. withdrawal from market put on the internet gambling industry. The
company though has a solid product and the experience that would nicely
compliment some of the smaller online casino gambling companies looking to
expand their product and services. That is a primary reason why investment and
online gambling companies have shown so much interest in the company – it has
the potential to bounce back from the current financial situation.
Parlay’s delay in negotiations in early January with PEIC Acquisitions is
largely to blame for PEIC’s withdrawal of a bid for the online casino software
developer. Two other bidders expressed interest in the company and Parlay
statement last week ended any speculation that an acquisition deal was on the
horizon. A Parlay statement last week noted that a “binding agreement has not
been concluded with any of the parties who expressed an interest in conducting
due diligence in the company within the timeframes established by the special
committee of the board of directors.” There is no indication yet about where
Parlay plans to head from here on out. |
