Nevada Regulators Recommend Licensing for PENN Entertainment Shareholder

Nevada regulators have suggested a three-year approval for Parag Vora, a hedge-fund manager from HG Vora Capital Management. This happened after a long meeting about the company’s role as a shareholder of PENN Entertainment.

During the meeting, Board member George Assad expressed his concerns. He argued that Vora was not truthful and compared him to a corporate raider, someone who takes control of companies for profit. Vora disagreed strongly with this claim. Board Chair Mike Dreitzer often had to intervene during the discussions.

The hearing lasted for three hours, which is longer than usual. HG Vora said it had received similar approvals in other states and had not done anything wrong. The company wants to help PENN improve its business and make more money for its shareholders.

In February, PENN appointed three new directors to its board after a public dispute with HG Vora. The Gaming Control Board now wants Vora to report monthly on contacts with Nevada gaming companies. Vora accepted this request. The board will review his behaviour during the next three years.
