“Sandals Resorts International is exploring options to accelerate the company’s long-term growth and development plans,” the company said in a statement.
“This is not new” the statement said adding “meanwhile, it’s business as usual.”
Reuters reports today that Sandals Resorts International, is exploring strategic alternatives including a potential sale of the company.
The report said a sale would mark the first change in ownership for the company since it was founded 36 years ago by Gordon “Butch” Stewart, who built it into the largest non-government employer in Jamaica and created resorts across the Caribbean.
According to the report, Sandals has hired investment bank Deutsche Bank AG (DBKGn.DE) to explore several options, including a sale of a majority stake in the company.
Reuters sources said it could be worth well over $1 billion, including debt. There is no certainty the move will result in any deal, the sources added.
