Oak Hill LBO Dave & Buster's refiles for a $100 million IPO

September 8, 2014

Dave & Buster's Entertainment, an Oak Hill-backed operator of 69 casual dining restaurants with large arcades, refiled on Monday with the SEC to raise up to $100 million in an initial public offering. The company originally set terms to raise $100 million in October 2012. Oak Hill acquired Dave & Buster's for $570 million in May 2010.

The Dallas, TX-based company, which was founded in 1982 and booked $690 million in sales for the 12 months ended July 31, 2014, plans to list on the NASDAQ under the symbol PLAY. Dave & Buster's initially filed confidentially on June 6, 2014. Jefferies and Piper Jaffray are the joint bookrunners on the deal. No pricing terms were disclosed.
