Chuck E. Cheese’s parent plans to return to NYSE again
Chuck E. Cheese’s parent company is having another go at the NYSE, through a merger with a special purpose company, making it the first restaurant company to enter the public market in four years.
With the closing of the merger with Leo Holdings, Queso Holdings - which owns CEC Entertainment, the parent company of Chuck E. Cheese and Peter Piper Pizza, is likely to see itself trading again this summer at NYSE with the ticker CEC.
Special purpose companies are asset-less and could only use the proceeds of an IPO to buy and take privately held consumer companies public.
The deal is expected to close in Q2 of 2019 and at the end of which Leo Holdings is planning to rename itself as Chuck E. Cheese Brands, while CEC Entertainment is likely to emerge as a subsidiary of Chuck E. Cheese Brands.
The IPO’s proceeds is likely to go towards paying down CEC’s outstanding debt of $978.9 million as of 30 December 2018.
CEC is expected to have an enterprise value $1.4 billion. In fiscal 2018, the company reported a net sales of $896 million, with more than half of its revenue coming from entertainment and merchandise. In its first quarter of fiscal 2019, the company reported a preliminary same-store sales growth of 7.7%.
The company has plans to reimage 60 stores by end of 2019, bringing its total number of remodelled locations to 92 out of its 515 company-owned stores.
However, private equity firm Apollo Global Management who had bought Chuck E. Cheese’s parent company in 2014 for about $948 million to take it private, is likely to not to sell its shares as part of the deal and is expected to hold a 51% stake in the newly formed company.
