"One possible factor in the negotiations: an $800 million loan that Park County took in 2023 from private equity firm the Carlyle Group. Parker and Stone could be squeezed for cash to repay roughly $80 million in interest per year, according to one person knowledgeable of the arrangement, who noted that Paramount may be open to paying more than $150 million annually in a new deal but not for 10 years."

That's quite the loan.

Apparently they needed to refinance a 600 million loan from 2021.

"The loan would be made through Carlyle’s credit arm and would refinance an existing $600 million debt facility provided by HPS Investment Partners in 2021, according to the report."

What the hell have they been spending it on?

Maybe some of that went towards Casa Bonita?

They said ~40 million. And that seems crazy high for a theme restaurant. I think they just don't know how to manage money.
