WhiteHawk tours The Star’s Australian casinos to assess refinancing possibility

The casino operator seeks to secure a debt refinancing agreement as WhiteHawk evaluates the company’s assets during on-site visits.


Australia.- The Star Entertainment Group has hosted executives from US-based investment firm WhiteHawk Capital Partners at its Australian integrated resorts as it attempts to secure a major refinancing deal aimed at stabilising its financial position. According to the Australian Financial Review, representatives toured the operator’s properties in Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast as part of ongoing due diligence tied to a potential refinancing package valued at around AU$400m (US$280m).

A non-binding term sheet signed in late February outlines plans to refinance the company’s existing debt and provide additional liquidity to support its turnaround strategy. The aim is to reached a definitive credit agreement by the end of March. The company expects to finalise the proposal, including long-form documentation and due diligence processes by mid-May. 

The Star has stressed that the outcome of the ongoing AUSTRAC regulatory case is not a condition for completing the refinancing. The operator is engaging with existing lenders to obtain covenant waivers related to the December reporting period, which would provide time to implement the refinancing. The company noted that there is no assurance these waivers will be granted.
