Crown Resorts chairman James Packer is believed to favour fully rather than partially privatising the listed casino operator. Packer’s Consolidated Press Holdings, which has a 53 per cent stake in Crown, has stressed that directors of Crown have not been presented with any proposals to privatise the group. Delisting Crown is likely to cost around $A5bn, and groups such as private equity firms or pension funds could potentially help Packer to finance any such deal.
