SYDNEY: Troubled Australian casino operator Crown Resorts rejected a takeover bid from US private equity giant Blackstone on Monday , saying the offer"undervalues" the gaming group.

Blackstone launched its bid in March, just weeks after regulators refused to grant Crown a licence to run its flagship casino in a gleaming 75-storey Sydney tower, owing to suspected links to organised crime. Blackstone, which owns a 9.99 per cent stake in Crown, had already revised its offer from an initial A$11.85 per share to A$12.35.But the Crown board told the Australian Securities Exchange the bid still"undervalues" the company, while regulatory requirements"present an unacceptable level of regulatory uncertainty for Crown shareholders".
