		Why Kerzner wants to go private?: Well the most obvious reason why Sol Kerzner wants to take the company private would be to increase his family's stake and the amount of control they have in shaping the future of Kerzner International.
		Presently, Sol and Butch Kerzner's combined stake in the company stands at 11% and so by leading a consortium of private equity investors, they are seeking to increase their stake in the company to around 25%.
		Kerzner International is the invention and vision of Sol and Butch, without them it becomes that much more difficult for the company to continue its innovative and profitable strategies.
