Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of prior year presentations have been made to conform to the current period presentation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, all of which are normal and recurring, considered necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for other quarters, for the full year or any future period.
The executive decision maker of our Company reviews operating results, assesses performance and makes decisions on a “significant market” basis. Management views each of our casinos as an operating segment. Operating segments are aggregated based on their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products provided, and their management and reporting structure. Prior to the Elgin and Tropicana acquisitions, theThe Company’s principal operating activities occurredoccur in four5 geographic regions and reportable segments. Following the Elgin and Tropicana acquisitions, a fifth segment, Central, was added. The reportable segments are based on the similar characteristics of the operating segments within the regions in which they operate: West, Midwest, South, East, and Central. (See Note 16See the table above for a listing of properties included in each segment).segment.
The presentation of financial information herein for periods prior to our acquisitionsafter the Company’s sales of ElginPresque and TropicanaNemacolin on January 11, 2019 and after our acquisitionsMarch 8, 2019, respectively, and the Company’s sales of ElginMountaineer, Cape Girardeau and TropicanaCaruthersville on December 6, 2019 are not fully comparable becauseto the results of operations for Elgin and Tropicana are not included for periods prior to August 7, 2018 and October 1, 2018, respectively. Additionally, the Company closed on its sales of Presque Isle Downs and Nemacolin in January 2019 and March 2019, respectively. (Seetheir respective sale dates. See Note 5).4.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.
Recent Developments Related to COVID-19
In January 2020, an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified and has since spread throughout much of the world, including the United States. All of the Company’s casino properties have been temporarily closed since March 18, 2020 due to orders issued by various state government agencies in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of these closures, the COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company continued to pay its full-time employees through April 10, 2020, including tips and tokes. Effective April 11, 2020, the Company furloughed approximately 90% of its employees, implemented salary reductions and committed to continue to provide benefits to its employees through June 30, 2020. As a result of these payroll changes combined with other cost saving measures, the Company’s daily operating expenses reduced significantly. In an effort to maintain liquidity and provide financial flexibility as the effects of COVID-19 continue to evolve and impact global financial markets, the Company borrowed $465 million under its revolving credit facility on March 16, 2020. The extent of the ongoing and future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business and the casino resort industry generally is uncertain, but the Company expects that it will continue to have a significant impact on its business, results of operations and financial condition. The extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 will ultimately depend on future developments, including but not limited to, the duration and severity of the outbreak, the length of time that the Company’s casinos remain closed, the Company’s ability to adapt to new operating procedures upon re-opening of its casinos, the impact on consumer demand and discretionary spending, the length of time it takes for demand to return and the Company’s ability to adjust its cost structures for the duration of the outbreak’s impact on its operations. Due to declines in recent performance and the expected impact on future cash flows as a result of COVID-19, the Company recognized impairment charges related to goodwill and trade names for the three months ended March 31, 2020. See Note 7 for details.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Pronouncements Implemented in 20192020
In February 2016 (as amended through December 2018), the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, (“ASC 842”) which addresses the recognition and measurement of leases. Under the new guidance, for all leases, at the commencement date, lessees were required to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease. The liability is measured on a discounted basis. Lessees also recognized a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to control the use of a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. The effective date is for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. ASC 842 requires a transition adoption election using either 1) a modified retrospective approach with periods prior to the adoption date being recast or 2) a prospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment recognized to the opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption date with prior periods continuing to be reported under prior lease accounting guidance.
The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using the prospective approach, and therefore, comparative periods will continue to be reported under prior lease accounting guidance consistent with previously issued financial statements. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within ASC 842, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease identification, lease classification and treatment of initial direct costs for leases entered into prior to January 1, 2019. We also made an accounting policy election to not record short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet for all classes of underlying assets. We have also elected to not adopt the hindsight practical expedient for determining lease terms.
Our operating leases, in which we are the lessee, are recorded on the balance sheet as a ROU asset with a corresponding lease liability. The lease liability will be remeasured each reporting period with a corresponding change to the ROU asset. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on net income; however, upon adoption we recorded a cumulative adjustment to our retained earnings of $4.7 million, net of tax, primarily related to the Company’s lease and management agreements at its Bettendorf location. (See Note 2). Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s other financing leases.
Pronouncements to Be Implemented in Future Periods
In June 2016 (modified in November 2018), the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses related to the timing onof recognizing impairment losses on financial assets. The new guidance lowers the threshold on when losses are incurred, from a determination that a loss is probable to a determination that a loss is expected. The change in guidance will beis applicable to our evaluation of the CRDA investments (see Note 8).Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (“CRDA”) investments. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is allowed for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.2019. Adoption of the guidance requiresrequired a modified-retrospective approach and a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings to the first reporting period that the update is effective. We expect to adoptThe Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2020 and currently we do2020. Adoption of this guidance did not expecthave a cumulative effectmaterial impact on ourthe Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement Thatthat is a Service Contract. This amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). This generally means that an intangible asset is recognized for the software license and, to the extent that the payments attributable to the software license are made over time, a liability also is recognized. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the entity should account for the arrangement as a service contract. This generally means that the fees associated with the hosting element (service) of the arrangement are expensed as incurred. The amendment iswas effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption allowed. We expect to adopt2019. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 20202020. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This amendment modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and are evaluating the qualitativewas effective for annual and quantitative effects ofinterim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the new guidance. We doguidance on January 1, 2020. Adoption of this guidance did not believe it will have a significantmaterial impact on ourthe Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Pronouncements To Be Implemented In Future Periods
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No 2018-14, Compensation –Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General. This amendment improves disclosures over defined benefit plans and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2020 with early adoption allowed. We anticipateThe Company anticipates adopting this amendment during the first quarter of 2021, and docurrently does not expect it to have a significant impact on ourits Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August 2018,December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework-Changes to2019-12, Simplifying the Disclosure RequirementsAccounting for Fair Value Measurement.Income Taxes. This amendment modifies the disclosure requirementsaccounting guidelines for fair value measurementsincome taxes and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019,2020 with early adoption allowed. The Company will adopt the new guidance on January 1, 2021. The Company is evaluating the qualitative and quantitative effect the new guidance will have on ourits Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 2. Leases
The Company’s management determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset.
Finance and operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. As the implicit rate is not determinable in most of the Company’s leases, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The expected lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such options. Lease expense for operating leases with minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.
The Company’s lease arrangements have lease and non-lease components. For leases in which the Company is the lessee, the Company accounts for the lease components and non-lease components as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets. Leases, in which the Company is the lessor, are substantially all accounted for as operating leases and the lease components and non-lease components are accounted for separately, which is consistent with the Company’s historical accounting. Leases with an expected or initial term of 12 months or less are not accounted for on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.
The Company has operating and finance leases for various real estate and equipment. Certain of ourthe Company’s lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of sales over specified contractual amounts, rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation and rental payments based on usage. The Company’s leases include options to extend the lease term one month to 60 years. Except for the GLPI Master Lease with GLP Capital, L.P., the operating partnership of Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (“GLPI”), (see Note 10)9), the Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Leases recorded on the balance sheet consist of the following (in thousands):

Note 3. Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes as casino revenue the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses, not the total amount wagered. Progressive jackpots are accrued and charged to revenue at the time the obligation to pay the jackpot is established. Gaming revenues are recognized net of certain cash and free play incentives. Pari-mutuel commissions consist of commissions earned from thoroughbred and harness racing and importing of simulcast signals from other race tracks and are recognized at the time wagers are made. Such commissions are a designated portion of the wagering handle as determined by state racing commissions and are shown net of the taxes assessed by state and local agencies, as well as purses and other contractual amounts paid to horsemen associations. The Company recognizes revenues from fees earned through the exporting of simulcast signals to other race tracks at the time wagers are made and recorded on a gross basis. Such fees are based upon a predetermined percentage of handle as contracted with the other race tracks.
Hotel, food and beverage services have been determined to be separate, stand-alone performance obligations and are recorded as revenue as the good or service is transferred to the customer over the customer’s stay at the hotel or when the delivery is made for the food and beverage. Advance deposits for future hotel occupancy, convention space or food and beverage services contracts are recorded as deferred income until the revenue recognition criteria has been met. The Company also provides goods and services that may include multiple performance obligations, such as for packages, for which revenues are allocated on a pro rata basis based on each service's stand-alone selling price.
The Company offers programs at its properties whereby participating customers can accumulate points for wagering that can be redeemed for credits for free play on slot machines, lodging, food and beverage, merchandise and, in limited situations, cash. The incentives earned by customers under these programs are based on previous revenue transactions and represent separate performance obligations. Points earned, less estimated breakage, are recorded as a reduction of casino revenues at the standalone selling price of the points when earned based upon the retail value of the benefits, historical redemption rates and estimated breakage and recognized as departmental revenue based on where such points are redeemed upon fulfillment of the performance obligation. The player loyalty program liability represents a deferral of revenue until redemption occurs, which is typically less than one year.
The Company offers discretionary coupons and other discretionary complimentaries to customers outside of the player loyalty program. The retail value of complimentary food, beverage, hotel rooms and other services provided to customers is recognized as a reduction to the revenues for the department which issued the complimentary and a credit to the revenue for the department redeemed. Complimentaries provided by third parties at the discretion and under the control of the Company is recorded as an expense when incurred.
The Company’s consolidated statement of operations presents net revenue disaggregated by type or nature of the good or service (i.e., casino, pari-mutuel, food and beverage, hotel and other).service. A summary of net revenues disaggregated by type of revenue and reportable segment is presented below (amounts in thousands). Refer to Note 16Notes 1 and 15 for a discussion ofadditional information on the Company’s reportable segments.

Contract and Contract Related Liabilities
The Company records contract or contract-related liabilities related to differences between the timing of cash receipts from the customer and the recognition of revenue. The Company generally has three types of liabilities related to contracts with customers: (1) outstanding chip liability, which represents the amounts owed in exchange for gaming chips held by a customer, (2) player loyalty program obligations, which represents the deferred allocation of revenue relating to player loyalty program incentives earned, as discussed above, and (3) customer deposits and other deferred revenue, which is primarily funds deposited by customers related to gaming play, advance payments on goods and services yet to be provided (such as advance ticket sales and deposits on rooms and convention space or for unpaid wagers), and deferred revenues associated with the Company’s interests in William Hill and TSG (see Note 76) and Note 8)The Stars Group (“TSG”). Except for deferred revenues related to William Hill and TSG, these liabilities are generally expected to be recognized as revenue within one year of being purchased, earned, or deposited and are recorded within “Accruedaccrued other liabilities”liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 balances exclude liabilities related to assets held for sale recorded in 2020 and 2019 (see Note 5)4). The significant change in customer deposits and other deferred revenue during the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 iswas primarily attributed to the initial recognition of the Company’s interests in William Hill, which is recorded in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (see Note 7)6).
Note 4. Purchase Price Accounting and Pro Forma Information
Tropicana
Acquisition Summary
On April 15, 2018, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Tropicana in a cash transaction valued at $1.9 billion. At the closing of the transaction on October 1, 2018, a subsidiary of the Company merged into Tropicana and Tropicana became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Immediately prior to the merger, Tropicana sold Tropicana Aruba Resort and Casino and Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (“GLPI”) acquired substantially all of Tropicana’s real estate, other than the real estate underlying MontBleu and Lumière, for approximately $964 million and the Company acquired Tropicana’s operations and certain real estate for $927.3 million. Substantially concurrently with the acquisition of the real estate portfolio by GLPI, the Company also entered into a triple net master lease (see Note 10). The Company funded the purchase of the real estate underlying Lumière with the proceeds of a $246 million loan (see Note 11) and funded the remaining consideration payable with cash on hand at the Company and Tropicana, borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility and proceeds from the Company’s offering of $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 6% senior notes due 2026.
Transaction expenses related to the Tropicana Acquisition totaled $1.1 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $2.5 million and $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Preliminary Purchase Price Accounting
The total purchase consideration for the Tropicana Acquisition was $927.3 million. The estimated purchase consideration in the acquisition was determined with reference to its acquisition date fair value.

The fair values are based on management’s analysis including preliminary work performed by third party valuation specialists, which are subject to finalization and review. The purchase price accounting for Tropicana is preliminary as it relates to determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities, including goodwill, and is subject to change. No changes have been recorded since the October 1, 2018 acquisition date. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Tropicana, with the excess recorded as goodwill as of June 30, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

Valuation methodologies under both a market and income approach used for the identifiable net assets acquired in the Tropicana Acquisition make use of Level 3 inputs including discounted cash flows.
Trade receivables and payables, inventories and other current and noncurrent assets and liabilities were valued at the existing carrying values as they represented the estimated fair value of those items at the Tropicana Acquisition date.
The fair value of land (excluding the real property acquired by GLPI) was determined using the market approach, which arrives at an indication of value by comparing the site being valued to sites that have been recently acquired in arm’s-length transactions. The market data is then adjusted for any significant differences, to the extent known, between the identified comparable sites and the site being valued. Building and site improvements were valued under the cost approach using a direct cost model built on estimates of replacement cost. Personal property assets with an active and identifiable secondary market such as riverboats, gaming equipment, computer equipment and vehicles were valued using the market approach. Other personal property assets such as furniture, fixtures, computer software, and restaurant equipment were valued using the cost approach which is based on replacement or reproduction costs of the asset. The cost approach is an estimation of fair value developed by computing the current cost of replacing a property and subtracting any depreciation resulting from one or more of the following factors: physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and/or economic obsolescence. The income approach incorporates all tangible and intangible property and served as a ceiling for the fair values of the acquired assets of the ongoing business enterprise, while still taking into account the premise of highest and best use. In the instance where the business enterprise value developed via the income approach was exceeded by the initial fair values of the underlying assets, an adjustment to reflect economic obsolescence was made to the tangible assets on a pro rata basis to reflect the contributory value of each individual asset to the enterprise as a whole.
The real estate assets that were sold to GLPI and leased back by the Company were adjusted to fair value concurrently with the acquisition of Tropicana. The fair value of the properties was determined utilizing the direct capitalization method of the income approach. In allocating the fair value to the underlying acquired assets, a fair value for the buildings and improvements was determined using the above mentioned cost approach method. To determine the underlying land value, the extraction method was applied wherein the fair value of the building and improvements was deducted from the fair value of the property as derived from the direct capitalization approach to determine the fair value of the land. The fair value of GLPI’s real estate assets was determined to be $957.3 million.
The fair value of the gaming licenses was determined using the multi period excess earnings or replacement cost methodology, based on whether the license resides in gaming jurisdictions where competition is limited to a specified number of licensed gaming operators. The excess earnings methodology is an income approach methodology that estimates the projected cash flows of the business attributable to the gaming license intangible asset, which is net of charges for the use of other identifiable assets of the business including working capital, fixed assets and other intangible assets. Under the respective state’s gaming legislation, the property specific licenses can only be acquired if a theoretical buyer were to acquire each existing facility. The existing licenses could not be acquired and used for a different facility. The properties’ estimated future cash flows were the primary assumption in the respective valuations. Cash flow estimates included net gaming revenue, gaming operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, and tax expense. The replacement cost methodology is a cost approach methodology based on replacement or reproduction cost of the gaming license as an indicator of fair value.
The Company has assigned an indefinite useful life to the gaming licenses, in accordance with its review of the applicable guidance of ASC 350. The Company considered, among other things, the expected use of the asset, the expected useful life of other related assets or asset groups, any legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions that may limit the useful life, the Company’s own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements, the effects of obsolescence, demand and other economic factors, and the maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected cash flows. The Company determined that no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors limit the useful lives of these intangible assets. Tropicana had licenses in New Jersey, Missouri, Mississippi, Nevada, Indiana, and Louisiana. The renewal of each state’s gaming license depends on a number of factors, including payment of certain fees and taxes, providing certain information to the state’s gaming regulator, and meeting certain inspection requirements. However, the Company’s historical experience has not indicated, nor does the Company expect, any limitations regarding its ability to continue to renew each license. No other competitive, contractual, or economic factor limits the useful lives of these assets. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that the useful lives of these licenses are indefinite.
Trade names are valued using the relief from royalty method, which presumes that without ownership of such trademarks, the Company would have to make a stream of payments to a brand or franchise owner in return for the right to use their name. By virtue of this asset, the Company avoids any such payments and records the related intangible value of the Company’s ownership of the brand name. The primary assumptions in the valuation included revenue, pre-tax royalty rate, and tax expense. The Company has assigned an indefinite useful life to the trade names after considering, among other things, the expected use of the asset, the expected useful life of other related assets or asset groups, any legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions that may limit the useful life, the Company’s own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements, the effects of obsolescence, demand and other economic factors, and the maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected cash flows. In that analysis, the Company determined that no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors limit the useful lives of these intangible assets.
Player loyalty programs were valued using the cost approach and the incremental cash flow method under the income approach. The incremental cash flow method is used to estimate the fair value of an intangible asset based on a residual cash flow notion. This method measures the benefits (e.g., cash flows) derived from ownership of an acquired intangible asset as if it were in place, as compared to the acquirer’s expected cash flows as if the intangible asset were not in place (i.e., with-and-without). The residual or net cash flows of the two models is ascribable to the intangible asset. The Company has estimated a 3-year useful life on the player loyalty programs.
Goodwill is the result of expected synergies from combining operations of the acquired and acquirer. The goodwill acquired is fully amortizable for tax purposes.
For the period from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, Tropicana generated net revenues of $418.2 million and net income of $5.3 million.
Elgin

The trade name was valued using the relief‑from‑royalty method. The primary assumptions in the valuation included revenue, pre-tax royalty rate, and tax expense. The Company has assigned the trade name an indefinite useful life after considering, among other things, the expected use of the asset, the expected useful life of other related assets or asset groups, any legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions that may limit the useful life, the Company’s own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements, the effects of obsolescence, demand and other economic factors, and the maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected cash flows.

Churchill Downs Incorporated
On February 28, 2018, the Company entered into definitive agreements to sell substantially all of the assetsPresque and liabilities of Presque Isle Downs and Vicksburg to Churchill Downs Incorporated (“CDI”). Under the terms of the agreements, CDI agreed to purchase Presque Isle Downs for cash consideration of approximately $178.9 million and Vicksburg for cash consideration of approximately $50.6 million, in each case subject to a customary working capital adjustment. In conjunction with the classification of Vicksburg’s operations as assets held for sale at June 30, 2018 as a result of the announced sale to CDI, an impairment charge totaling $9.8 million was recorded due to the carrying value exceeding the estimated net sales proceeds.
The definitive agreements provided that the divestitures were subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals, termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) and other customary closing conditions, including, in the case of Presque Isle Downs, the prior closing of the sale of Vicksburg or the entry into an agreement to acquire another asset of the Company. On May 7, 2018, the Company and CDI each received a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Materials, often referred to as a “Second Request,” from the Federal Trade Commission in connection with its review of the Vicksburg acquisition.
On July 6, 2018, in consideration of the time and expense needed to reply to the Second Request, the Company and CDI entered into a termination agreement and release pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate the asset purchase agreement with respect to Vicksburg and to enter into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which CDI would acquire and assume the rights and obligations to operate Nemacolin (the “Vicksburg Termination Agreement”). The Vicksburg Termination Agreement also provided that CDI would pay the Company a $5.0 million termination fee upon execution of a definitive agreement with respect to the Nemacolin transaction, which was recorded as proceeds from terminated sale on the Consolidated Statements of Income. On August 10, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Nemacolin to CDI. Under the terms of the agreement, CDI agreed to purchase Nemacolin for cash consideration of approximately $0.1 million, subject to a customary working capital adjustment. As a result of the agreement to sell Nemacolin, an impairment charge of $3.8 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2018 due to the carrying value of the net property and equipment being sold exceeding the estimated net sales proceeds.Divestitures

The CRDA bonds have various contractual maturities that range upConsolidated Statements of Operations. Such amortization expense is expected to 40 years. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because of prepayment rights. The Company treats CRDA bonds as held-to-maturity since the Company has the ability and the intent to hold these bonds to maturity and under the CRDA, the Company is not permitted to do otherwise. After the initial determination of fair value, the Company analyzes the CRDA bonds for recoverability on a quarterly basis based on management's historical collection experience and other information received from the CRDA. If indications exist that the CRDA bond is impaired, additional valuation allowances are recorded.

However, upon adoption of the new lease accounting guidance the prepaid rent is now included with the Company’s ROU assets.
In September 2018, we entered into a 25-year agreement, which became effective January 2019, with William Hill pursuant to which we received 13.4 million ordinary shares of William Hill PLC which carry certain time restrictions on when they can be sold.

Note 9.8. Income Taxes
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act includes, among other things, refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, and technical amendments regarding the income tax depreciation of qualified improvement property placed in service after December 31, 2017. These amendments allow for retroactive accelerated income tax depreciation on certain of our leasehold improvement assets. The Company is currently assessing the financial impact of these technical amendments on our business.
The Company estimates an annual effective income tax rate based on projected results for the year and applies this rate to income before taxes to calculate income tax expense. Any refinements made due to subsequent information that affects the estimated annual effective income tax rate are reflected as adjustments in the current period.
For the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2020, the Company’s tax benefit was $37.2 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company’s tax expense was $10.4 million.$10.4 million and $20.8 million, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company’s tax expense was $9.2 million and $11.3 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2020, the difference between the effective rate and the statutory rate is attributed primarily to goodwill impairments, true-up of certain state tax benefits, state and local income taxes and changes in the valuation allowance. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the difference between the effective rate and the statutory rate is attributed primarily to non-deductible expenses, excess tax benefits associated with stock compensation, and state and local income taxes and changes in the valuation allowance. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the difference between the effective rate and the statutory rate is attributed primarily to state and local income taxes less excess tax benefits associated with stock compensation.taxes.

Note 10.9. Long-Term Financing Obligation
As of December 31, 2018, underUnder the prior lease accounting standard, the Company’s Master Lease with GLPI was accounted for as a failed sale-leaseback financing obligation equal to the fair value of the leased real estate assets and liabilities acquired in purchase accounting.accounting in conjunction with the acquisition of Tropicana in 2018. Upon adoption of ASC 842, (see Note 2), the Company re-evaluated the Master Lease and determined this existing failed sale-leaseback transaction willwould continue to be accounted for as a financing obligation.
The fair value of the real estate assets and the related failed sale-leaseback financing obligations were estimated based on the present value of the estimated future lease payments over the lease term of 35 years, including renewal options, using an imputed discount rate of approximately 10.2%. The value of the failed sale-leaseback financing obligations is dependent upon assumptions regarding the amount of the lease payments and the estimated discount rate of the lease payments required by a market participant.
The Master Lease provides for the lease of land, buildings, structures and other improvements on the land (including barges and riverboats), easements and similar appurtenances to the land and improvements relating to the operation of the leased properties. The Master Lease provides for an initial term of fifteen years with no purchase option. At the Company’s option, the Master Lease may be extended for up to four five-year renewal terms beyond the initial 15-year term. If we elect to renew the term of the Master Lease, the renewal will be effective as to all, but not less than all, of the leased property then subject to the Master Lease. The Company does not have the ability to terminate its obligations under the Master Lease prior to its expiration without GLPI’s consent.
The rent payable under the Master Lease is comprised of “Base Rent” and “Percentage Rent.” Base rent is the sum of:
| • | Building Base Rent: a fixed component equal to $60.9 million during the first year of the Master Lease, and thereafter escalated annually by 2%, subject to a cap that would cause the preceding year’s adjusted revenue to rent ratio for the properties in the aggregate not to fall below 1.20:1.00 for the first five years of the Master Lease and 1.80:1.00 thereafter; plus |
| • | Land Base Rent: an additional fixed component equal to $13.4 million, subject to adjustment in the event of the termination of the Master Lease with respect to any of the leased properties. |
The percentage rent payable under the Master Lease is adjusted every two years based on the actual net revenues of the leased properties during the two-year period then ended. The initial variable rent, which is fixed for the first two years, is $13.4 million per year. The actual percentage increase is based on actual performance and is subject to change.
The initial annual rent under the terms of the lease iswas approximately $87.6 million.million and subject to annual escalations as referenced in the table below.
Under the Master Lease, the Company is required to pay the following, among other things: lease payments to the underlying ground lessor for properties that are subject to ground leases, facility maintenance costs, all insurance premiums for insurance with respect to the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties, taxes levied on or with respect to the leased properties (other than taxes on the income of the lessor and all utilities and other services necessary or appropriate for the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties).
The estimated future lease payments include the minimum lease payments and were adjusted to reflect estimated lease payments as described in the agreements, including an annual escalator of up to 2%.

The Lumière Loan bears interest at a rate equal to (i) 9.09% until October 1, 2019 and (ii) 9.27% until October 1, 2020, and matures on October 1, 2020. The Lumière Loan iswas secured by a first priority mortgage on the Lumière real property untilthat was released pursuant to its terms on October 1, 2019. In connection with the issuance of the Lumière Loan, we agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to transfer one or more of the Grand Victoria Casino, Isle Casino Bettendorf, Isle Casino Hotel Waterloo, Isle of Capri Lula, Lady Luck Casino Vicksburg and Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort or such other property or properties mutually acceptable to us and GLPI, provided that the aggregate value of such property, individually or collectively, is at least $246 million (the “Replacement Property”), to GLPI with a simultaneous leaseback to us of such Replacement Property. In connection with such Replacement Property sale, (i) we and GLPI will enter into an amendment to the Master Lease to revise the economic terms to include the Replacement Property, (ii) GLPI, or one of its affiliates, will assume the Lumière Loan and Tropicana St. Louis RE’s obligations under the Lumière Loan in consideration of the acquisition of the Replacement Property and our obligations under the Lumière Loan will be deemed to have been satisfied, (iii) the Lumière Real Property will be released from the lien placed on it in connection with the Lumière Loan (if such lien has not yet been released in accordance with the terms of the Lumière Loan) and (iv)(iii) in the event the value of the Replacement Property is greater than the our outstanding obligations under the Lumière Loan, GLPI will pay us the difference between the value of the Replacement Property and the amount of outstanding obligations under the Lumière Loan. If such Replacement Property transaction is not consummated prior to the maturity date of the Lumière Loan, other than as a result of certain failures to perform by GLPI, then the amounts outstanding will be paid in full and the rent under the Master Lease will automatically increase, subject to certain escalations.
Debt and Master Lease Covenant Compliance
As of June 30, 2019, we wereMarch 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the 7% Senior Notes due 2023, 6% Senior Notes due 2025, 6% Senior Notes due 2026, the Credit Facility, and the Lumière Loan.Loan and the Master Lease. However, the Company’s ability to remain in compliance with the quarterly maintenance covenants under its Credit Agreement and the Master Lease may be negatively impacted if the period of casino closures is prolonged or if the COVID-19 pandemic, measures implemented to curtail its spread or changes in the economy, discretionary spending and consumer confidence have a protracted negative effect on the Company’s business.
Failure to satisfy the quarterly maintenance covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and the Master Lease would require the Company to seek waivers or amendments of the maintenance covenants. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain required waivers or amendments, as such matters depend, in part, on factors outside of its control. If the Company fails to satisfy its quarterly maintenance covenants and is unable to obtain such waivers or amendments, its creditors could exercise remedies under the applicable documents governing such indebtedness, including acceleration of such indebtedness, and the lessor under the Master Lease could terminate the Master Lease. The acceleration of indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement or the termination of the Master Lease as a result of failure to satisfy the covenants applicable to such obligations would give rise to an event of default under its outstanding senior notes entitling the holders thereof to accelerate the obligations thereunder.
Note 12.11. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Accordingly, fair value is a market based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, there is a three‑tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values as follows:
| • | Level 1 Inputs: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| • | Level 2 Inputs: Observable market‑based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. |
| • | Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. |
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate fair value:
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents include cash held in money market funds and investments that can be redeemed immediately at the current net asset value per share. A money market fund is a mutual fund whose investments are primarily in short‑term debt securities designed to maximize current income with liquidity and capital preservation, usually maintaining per share net asset value at a constant amount, such as one dollar. Cash and cash equivalents also include cash maintained for gaming operations. The carrying amounts approximate the fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments (Level 1).
Restricted Cash and Investments and Other Liabilities related to Restricted Investments: The estimated fair values of our restricted cash and investments are based upon quoted prices available in active markets (Level 1), or quoted prices for similar assets in active and inactive markets (Level 2), or quoted prices available in active markets adjusted for time restrictions related to the sale of the investment (Level 3) and represent the amounts we would expect to receive if we sold our restricted cash and investments. Restricted investments include shares acquired in conjunction with the Company’s sports betting agreements that contain restrictions related to the ability to liquidate shares within a specified timeframe.
Marketable Securities: Marketable securities consist primarily of trading securities held by the Company’s captive insurance subsidiary.subsidiary and unrestricted shares acquired in conjunction with the Company’s sports betting agreements. The estimated fair values of the Company’s marketable securities are determined on an individual asset basis based upon quoted prices of identical assets available in active markets (Level 1), quoted prices of identical assets in inactive markets, or quoted prices for similar assets in active and inactive markets (Level 2), and represent the amounts we would expect to receive if we sold these marketable securities.
Long‑term Debt: The fair value of our long-term debt or other long-term obligations is estimated based on the quoted market price of the underlying debt issue (Level 1) or, when a quoted market price is not available, the discounted cash flow of future payments utilizing current rates available to us for the debt of similar remaining maturities (Level 2). Debt obligations with a short remaining maturity have a carrying amount that approximates fair value.
Acquisition‑Related Contingent Considerations: Contingent consideration related to the July 2003 acquisition of Scioto Downs represents the estimate of amounts to be paid to former stockholders of Scioto Downs under certain earn-out provisions. Acquisition related contingent considerations of $0.5 million is included in accrued other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis: The following table sets forth the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by input level, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 20182019 (amounts in thousands):

Note 14.13. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation.
Litigation
We are parties to various legal proceedings. Such proceedings can be costly, time consuming and unpredictable and, therefore, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of such proceedings will not materially impact our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. While we maintain insurance coverage that we believe is adequate to mitigate the risks of such proceedings, no assurance can be given that the amount or scope of existing insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover losses arising from such matters.
Merger Litigation
In September and October of 2019, 8 putative class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and/or Caesars in connection with the Merger. The Company was named as a party in three of such actions: Cazer v. Caesars Entertainment Corp., et al, Civil Action No. A-19-801900-C, Eighth Judicial District Court Clark County, Nevada (9/13/2019), Gershman v. Caesars Entertainment Corp., et al, Civil Action No 1:19-cv-01720-UNA, United States District Court for the District of Delaware (9/12/2019), and Palkon v. Caesars Entertainment Corp., et al, Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-01679-UNA, United States District Court for the District of Delaware (9/9/2019). In general, those complaints asserted claims under sections 14(a), 20(a) and Rule 14a-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 challenging the adequacy of certain disclosures in the joint proxy statement/prospectus filed in connection with the Merger. In addition, one of the complaints alleges state law breach of fiduciary duty claims against the Caesars directors. In March 2020, the Company and Caesars reached an agreement with the plaintiffs in those actions to settle those claims in exchange for payment of certain fees to attorneys for the plaintiffs. As a result of that settlement, in March 2020, all eight suits were dismissed. These matters are now concluded.
Securities Action
On September 23, 2019, the Company and certain of its officers were named as defendants in a putative class action complaint filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey and captioned as Elberts v. Eldorado Resorts, Inc., Case No. 2:19-cv-18230-SRC-CLW. The complaint asserted violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint alleged that the Company made material misstatements and/or omissions during the period from March 1, 2019 through September 2, 2019. The allegations related to disclosure concerning the subpoenas that certain of the Company’s directors and officers received from the SEC, which have been previously disclosed in the proxy statement/prospectus filed by the Company relating to the pending transaction with Caesars. The SEC Investigation is ongoing. In March of 2020, the lead plaintiff decided not to pursue the claims any longer. As a result, this action was voluntarily dismissed by the lead plaintiff on March 17, 2020. This matter is now concluded.
General
In addition, we are a party to various legal and administrative proceedings, which have arisen in the normal course of itsour business. Estimated losses are accrued for these proceedings when the loss is probable and can be estimated. The current liability for the estimated losses associated with these proceedings is not material to the Company’sour consolidated financial condition and those estimated losses are not expected to have a material impact on itsour results of operations. In addition, the Company maintains what it believes is adequate insurance coverage to further mitigate the risks of such proceedings. However, such proceedings can be costly, time consuming and unpredictable and, therefore, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of such proceedings may not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Further, no assurance can be given that the Company’s existing insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover losses, if any, arising from such proceedings.
Agreements with Horsemen and Pari-mutuel Clerks. The Federal Interstate Horse Racing Act and the state racing laws in West Virginia and Ohio require that, in order to simulcast races, we have written agreements with the horse owners and trainers at those racetracks. In addition, in order to operate slot machines in West Virginia, we are required to enter into written agreements regarding the proceeds of the slot machines (a “proceeds agreement”) with a representative of a majority of the horse owners and trainers and with a representative of a majority of the pari‑mutuel clerks. We are required to have a proceeds agreement in effect on July 1 of each year with the horsemen and the pari‑mutuel clerks as a condition to renewal of our video lottery license for such year. If the requisite proceeds agreement is not in place as of July 1 of a particular year, Mountaineer’s application for renewal of its video lottery license could be denied, in which case Mountaineer would not be permitted to operate either its slot machines or table games. In Ohio, we must have an agreement with the representative of the horse owners. We currently have all the requisite agreements in place referenced in this sub section at Mountaineer and Scioto Downs. Certain agreements referenced above may be terminated upon written notice by either party.

Based on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the aggregate consideration payable by the Company in respect of outstanding shares of common stock of Caesars will be (a) an amount of cash equal to (i) the sum of (A) $8.40 plus (B) if applicable closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement are not satisfied by March 25, 2020, an amount equal to $0.003333 for each day (subject to certain exceptions described in the Merger Agreement) from March 25, 2020 until the closing date of the Merger (such aggregate amount, the “Per Share Cash Merger Consideration”), multiplied by (ii) a number of shares of Caesars common stock equal to (A) 682,161,838 (which includes 8,271,660 shares being held in escrow trust to satisfy unsecured claims pursuant to the Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago on January 13, 2017, at Docket No. 6318, which shares are not entitled to vote) plus (B) the number of shares of Caesars common stock outstanding at(the “Aggregate Caesars Share Amount”) issued after June 24, 2019 and prior to the effective time of the Merger pursuant to the exercise of certain equity awards issued under Caesars stock plans or conversion of Caesars’ outstanding convertible notes and (b) a number of shares of common stock of Eldorado equal to 0.0899 multiplied by the number of shares ofAggregate Caesars common stock outstanding at the effective time of the MergerShare Amount (such amount per share of Caesars common stock, the “Merger Consideration”). FollowingBased on the number of shares of ERI and Caesars outstanding as of March 31, 2020, following the consummation of the Merger (assuming that all Caesars convertible notes are converted immediately following consummation of the Merger into the Per Share Cash Merger Consideration and 0.0899 shares of common stock of Eldorado for each share of Caesars common stock into which such Caesars convertible notes were convertible immediately prior to the Merger), Eldorado and former Caesars stockholders will hold approximately 51%50.2% and 49%49.8%, respectively, of the combined company's outstanding shares of common stock.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by each of Caesars and Eldorado, and each party has agreed to customary covenants.
The Merger Agreement also contains termination rights for each of Caesars and Eldorado under certain circumstances. If the Merger Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances relating to changes in the recommendation of the board of directors of Caesars in favor of the Merger, entry by Caesars into an alternative transaction or in certain circumstances following the failure of Caesars stockholders to approve the Merger, Caesars will be required to pay Eldorado a termination fee of approximately $418.4 million.

In addition,It also provides that each party will be obligated to reimburse the other party’s expenses for an amount not to exceed $50.0 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated because of the failure to obtain the required approval of such party’s stockholders (creditable against any termination fee that may subsequently be paid by such party). The Merger Agreement also provides that Eldorado will be obligated to pay a termination fee of approximately $836.8 million to Caesars if the Merger Agreement is terminated (i) due to a law or order relating to gaming or antitrust laws that prohibits or permanently enjoins the consummation of the transactions, (ii) because the required regulatory approvals were not obtained prior to June 24, 2020 (subject to extension to a date no later than December 24, 2020 pursuant to the Merger Agreement) or (iii) due to Eldorado willfully and materially breaching certain obligations with respect to the actions required to be taken by Eldorado to obtain required antitrust approvals.

The executive decision maker of our Company reviews operating results, assesses performance and makes decisions on a “significant market” basis. Management views each of our casinos as an operating segment. Operating segments are aggregated based on their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products provided, and their management and reporting structure. Our principal operating activities occur in five geographic regions and reportable segments. The reportable segments are based on the similar characteristics of the operating segments within the regions in which they operate: West, Midwest, South, East, and Central. See the table above for a listing of properties included in each segment.
Presentation of Financial Information
The presentation offinancial information hereinincluded in this Item 2 for periods prior to our acquisitions of Elgin and Tropicana and after our acquisitions of Elgin and Tropicana are not fully comparable because the results of operations for Elgin and Tropicana are not included for periods prior to August 7, 2018 and October 1, 2018, respectively. Additionally, the Company closed on its sales of Presque Isle Downs and Nemacolin on January 11, 2019 and March 8, 2019, respectively.
Summary financial resultsrespectively, and our sales of Tropicana forMountaineer, Cape Girardeau and Caruthersville on December 6, 2019 are not fully comparable to the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 is included in Tropicana’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC. In conjunction with our acquisition of Tropicana, Tropicana was no longer requiredperiods prior to file quarterly and annual reports with the SEC and terminated its registration on October 1, 2018.their respective sale dates. See Note 4.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide information to assist in better understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. Our historical operating results may not be indicative of our future results of operations because of these factors and the changing competitive landscape in each of our markets, as well as by factors discussed elsewhere herein. We recommend that you read this MD&A in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Key Performance Metrics
Our primary source of revenue is generated by our gaming operations, but we use our hotels, restaurants, bars, entertainment, retail shops, racing, sportsbook offerings and other services to attract customers to our properties. Our operating results are highly dependent on the volume and quality of customers visiting and staying at our properties. Key performance metrics include volume indicators such as table games drop and slot handle, which refer to amounts wagered by our customers. The amount of volume we retain, which is not fully controllable by us, is recognized as casino revenues and is referred to as our win or hold. In addition, hotel occupancy and price per room designated by average daily rate (“ADR”) are key indicators for our hotel business. Our calculation of ADR consists of the average price of occupied rooms per day including the impact of resort fees and complimentary rooms. Complimentary room rates are determined based on an analysis of retail or cash rates for each customer segment and each type of room product to estimate complimentary rates which are consistent with retail rates. Complimentary rates are reviewed at least annually and on an interim basis if there are significant changes in market conditions. Complimentary rooms are treated as occupied rooms in our calculation of hotel occupancy.

Supplemental Unaudited Presentation of Consolidated Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018
Adjusted EBITDA (defined below), a non-GAAP financial measure, has been presented as a supplemental disclosure because it is a widely used measure of performance and basis for valuation of companies in our industry and we believe that this non-GAAP supplemental information will be helpful in understanding the Company’s ongoing operating results. Management has historically used Adjusted EBITDA when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items is necessary to provide a full understanding of our core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period results. Adjusted EBITDA represents operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, impairment charges, transaction expenses, severance expense, selling costs associated with the dispositiondivestitures of properties, preopening expenses, costs associated with resolving the historical Tropicana bankruptcy, impairment charges, equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates, (gain) loss on the sale or disposal of property and equipment, and (gain) loss associated with the sales of Presque Isle Downs and Nemacolin and other non-cash regulatory gaming assessments.related to divestitures. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the expense associated with our Master Lease with GLPI as the transaction was accounted for as a financing obligation.obligation and the associated expense is included in interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”), is unaudited and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance. Uses of cash flows that are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA include capital expenditures, interest payments, income taxes, debt principal repayments, payments under our Master Lease and certain regulatory gaming assessments, which can be significant. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. Other companies that provide EBITDA information may calculate EBITDA differently than we do. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as the definitions used in any of our debt agreements.
The following table summarizes our Adjusted EBITDA for our operating segments for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, in addition to reconciling Adjusted EBITDA to operating income (loss) in accordance with US GAAP (unaudited, in thousands):

We applied approximatelyutilized $360.0 million and $150.0 million of net proceeds from the salesales of Mountaineer, Cape Girardeau and Caruthersville in December 2019 and Presque Isle Downsin January 2019, respectively, to repay a portion of amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the indentures governing the Company’s senior notes, the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase a portion of its outstanding senior notes with the excess proceeds from such sale unless it applies the net proceeds of such sale to either permanently repay outstanding indebtedness or make specified acquisitions or capital expenditures within 365 days of the sale of Presque Isle Downs.Term Loan.
Our cash requirements can fluctuate significantly depending on our decisions with respect to business acquisitions or divestitures and strategic capital investments to maintain the quality of our properties. Our cash requirements have also been impacted by the ongoing impacts of government required closures of our casinos. We expect that our primary capital requirements going forward will relate to the re-opening and operation and maintenance of our properties, taxes, servicing our outstanding indebtedness, rent payments under our Master Lease continued costs associated with the Elgin and Tropicana acquisitionsother leases and funding the recently announced Caesars acquisition. DuringPursuant to the A&R Commitment Letter, the Commitment Parties committed to arrange and provide the Company with: (w) a $1,000.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, (x) a $3,000.0 million senior secured term loan B facility, (y) a $3,250.0 million senior secured 364-day bridge facility and (z) a $1,800.0 million senior unsecured bridge loan facility and (ii) Caesars Resort Collection, LLC, a subsidiary of Caesars, with a $2,400.0 million senior secured incremental term loan B facility (collectively, the “Debt Financing”). We expect to fund the anticipated Caesars acquisition with a combination of proceeds from the Debt Financing, the sale-leaseback transactions with VICI with respect to Harrah’s New Orleans, Harrah’s Laughlin and Harrah’s Atlantic City, the consideration received from VICI received in connection with amendments to the CPLV Lease and Non-CPLV Lease contemplated by the MTA, asset divestitures, existing cash on hand and cash flow generated by the Company and Caesars prior to the acquisition.
As a result of state government orders made in March 2020 in an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19, our casino properties located across the United States were ordered to temporarily close and remained shut down through the remainder of 2019,the first quarter. In an effort to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on our business and maintain liquidityand provide financial flexibility as the effects of COVID-19 continue to evolve and impact global financial markets, we borrowed $465 million under our Revolving Credit Facility on March 16, 2020 and furloughed approximately 90% of our employees beginning on April 11, 2020. During the period that our casinos are closed, we expect that our main capital requirements, other than with respect to the Caesars acquisition, will be servicing our outstanding indebtedness, rent payments under our Master Lease and other leases, taxes and obligations with respect to fixed and variable costs that we continue to incur while our casinos are closed.
We expect that our primary capital requirements following the re-opening of our properties, other than with respect to the Caesars acquisition, will relate to the operation and maintenance of our properties, taxes, servicing our outstanding indebtedness and rent payments under our Master Lease. While our capital expenditure requirements for 2020 will depend on the timing of re-opening of our casinos and the timing of closing the Caesars acquisition, we plan to spend approximately $102.9$40.0 million on capital expenditures. Our capital requirements have increased significantly followingexpenditures during the consummationremainder of the acquisitions of Tropicana and Elgin, including as a result of the obligation2020. We expect to pay annual rent in an initial amount of approximately $87.6 million under the Master Lease with respect to certain of the Tropicana properties and the required payments under the Lumière Note.
We funded the $328.8 million of cash consideration for the Elgin Acquisition using cash from ongoing operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We funded the $246 million purchase of the real estate underlying Lumière with the proceeds of the Lumière Note. We funded the $640 million consideration in the Tropicana Acquisition and the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Tropicana credit facility with ouruse cash on hand and cash on hand at Tropicana,generated from operations to meet such obligations.
We expect that borrowings incurred under our Revolving Credit Facility, cash generated from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facilitythe Debt Financing and proceeds from our offeringthe transactions contemplated by the MTA and the announced asset sales, net of $600 million of 6.0% senior notes due 2026. In addition, our borrowing capacity on our revolving credit facility increased from $300 million to $500 million effective substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Tropicana Acquisition on October 1, 2018 and we extended the maturity of the revolving credit facility to October 1, 2023. We expect that cash generated from operationsassociated taxes, will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital requirements, consummate the Caesars acquisition and service our outstanding indebtedness for the next twelve months. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and has caused, and may continue to cause, disruption in the financial markets. While we have undertaken efforts to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on our business and maintain liquidity, the extent of the ongoing and future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial condition is uncertain and may adversely impact our liquidity in the future. Our ability to access additional capital may be adversely affected by the disruption in the financial markets caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness and the impact of the pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our operating cash flows generally follow trends in operating income, excluding non-cash charges. Changes in the balance sheet accounts and the timing of significant payments, including interest, rent and tax payments will impact our operating cash flows. The decrease in operating cash flows compared to the same prior year period was primarily due to cash taxused to continue to pay operating expenses, including rent and interest payments, related tofollowing the Tropicana transaction forclosure of our properties as a result of the six months ended June 30, 2019 combined with changes in the balance sheet accounts in the normal course of business.COVID-19 pandemic.

Failure to satisfy the quarterly maintenance covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and Master Lease would require us to seek waivers or amendments of taxes relatedthe maintenance covenants. There can be no assurance that we will be able to net share settlementsobtain required waivers or amendments, as such matters depend, in part, on factors outside of equity awards.our control. If we fail to satisfy the quarterly maintenance covenants and are unable to obtain such waivers or amendments, our creditors could exercise remedies under the applicable documents governing such indebtedness, including acceleration of such indebtedness, and the lessor under the Master Lease could terminate the Master Lease. The acceleration of indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement or the termination of the Master Lease as a result of failure to satisfy the covenants applicable to such obligations would give rise to an event of default under our outstanding senior notes entitling the holders thereof to accelerate the obligations thereunder.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from variable rate long‑term debt arrangements. At June 30, 2019,As of March 31, 2020, interest on borrowings under our Credit Facility was subject to fluctuation based on changes in short-term interest rates.
As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our long‑term variable‑rate borrowings totaled $956.8$488.8 million under the Term Loan and nothing$465.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Long‑term variable‑rate borrowings under the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility representingrepresented approximately 31% of our long‑term debt compared to 43% of our long‑term debt as of June 30, 2018.March 31, 2020. During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the weighted average interest rates on our variable and fixed rate debt were 4.69%3.04% and 6.54%6.56%, respectively.
LIBOR is expected to be discontinued after 2021. The Company evaluatesinterest rate per annum applicable to loans under our Credit Facility is, at our option, either LIBOR plus a margin or a base rate plus a margin. The Credit Facility permits the administrative agent to select, in its reasonable discretion, an alternative base rate in the event that LIBOR is discontinued, but there can be no assurances as to what alternative base rates may be and whether such base rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR and any other unforeseen impacts of the potential discontinuation of LIBOR. We intend to continue monitoring the developments with respect to the potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021 and work with our lenders to ensure any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on our financial condition, but can provide no assurances regarding the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR.
We evaluate our exposure to market risk by monitoring interest rates in the marketplace and has, on occasion, utilized derivative financial instruments to help manage this risk. The Company doesWe do not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. There were no material quantitative changes in our market risk exposure, or how such risks are managed, for the three months ended June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
(a) | Material pending litigation, other than lawsuits arising in the normal course of our business, to which we became party during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, are summarized below: |
Merger Litigation
In September and October of 2019, eight putative class action lawsuits were filed against Eldorado and/or Caesars in connection with the Merger. The Company was named as a party in three of such actions: Cazer v. Caesars Entertainment Corp., et al, Civil Action No. A-19-801900-C, Eighth Judicial District Court Clark County, Nevada (9/13/2019), Gershman v. Caesars Entertainment Corp., et al, Civil Action No 1:19-cv-01720-UNA, United States District Court for the District of Delaware (9/12/2019), and Palkon v. Caesars Entertainment Corp., et al, Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-01679-UNA, United States District Court for the District of Delaware (9/9/2019). In general, those complaints asserted claims under sections 14(a), 20(a) and Rule 14a-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 challenging the adequacy of certain disclosures in the joint proxy statement/prospectus filed in connection with the Merger. In addition, one of the complaints alleges state law breach of fiduciary duty claims against the Caesars directors. In March 2020, the Company and Caesars reached an agreement with the plaintiffs in those actions to settle those claims in exchange for payment of certain fees to attorneys for the plaintiffs. As a result of that settlement, in March 2020, all eight suits were dismissed. These matters are now concluded.
Securities Action
On September 23, 2019, the Company and certain of its officers were named as defendants in a putative class action complaint filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey and captioned as Elberts v. Eldorado Resorts, Inc., Case No. 2:19-cv-18230-SRC-CLW. The complaint asserted violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint alleged that the Company made material misstatements and/or omissions during the period from March 1, 2019 through September 2, 2019. The allegations related to disclosure concerning the subpoenas that certain of the Company’s directors and officers received from the SEC, which have been previously disclosed in the proxy statement/prospectus filed by the Company relating to the pending transaction with Caesars. The SEC Investigation is ongoing. In March 2020, the lead plaintiff decided not to pursue the claims any longer. As a result, this action was voluntarily dismissed by the lead plaintiff on March 17, 2020. This matter is now concluded.
(a) | We are also a party to various lawsuits, which have arisen in the normal course of our business. Estimated losses are accrued for these lawsuits and claims when the loss is probable and can be estimated. The current liability for the estimated losses associated with those lawsuits is not material to our consolidated financial condition and those estimated losses are not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations. |
Legal matters are discussed in greater detail in “Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings” and Note 1517 to our Consolidated Financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
The Merger Agreement subjectsA description of our risk factors can be found in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the Companyyear ended December 31, 2019. There have been no material changes to restrictions on its business activitiesthose risk factors during the pendencythree months ended March 31, 2020, except for the following additional risk factors related to the impact of COVID-19 and the Merger.
The Merger Agreement subjectsoutbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in the Companytemporary closure of our casino properties and has caused an economic downturn, widespread unemployment and an adverse impact on consumer sentiment. Such negative impacts could continue for an extended period of time and may worsen.
On March 13, 2020, in response to the coronavirus pandemic the U.S. government declared a national state of emergency. In an effort to help control the spread of COVID-19, public health officials imposed or recommended various measures, including social distancing, quarantine and stay-at- home or shelter-in-place directives, limitations on the size of gatherings, closures of work facilities, schools, public buildings and businesses, and cancellation of events, including sporting events, concerts, conferences and meetings. As a result of orders issued by governmental authorities in the states in which our properties, all of our properties have been temporarily closed since March 18, 2020 and we furloughed approximately 90% of our employees beginning on April 11, 2020.
While the closure of our properties is expected to be temporary, we cannot estimate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future financial results or cash flows, in part due to our inability to reasonably estimate the duration of the closure of our properties and the range of factors that will influence our operations once our properties are permitted to re-open. Our future operations, financial results and cash flows will be impacted by a number of factors that we cannot predict and are beyond our control, including the duration and extent of shelter-in-place and social distancing measures and the impact of such measures on our ability to re-open and operate our casinos profitably. Government and health authorities may implement new or extend existing restrictions, impose restrictions on itstravel and business activitiesoperations and obligatesadvise or require individuals to limit time spent outside of their homes, further delaying or interrupting our business. In addition, we anticipate that social distancing measures will result in new restrictions on our operations following the Companytime that our casinos re-open, which may result in reduced gaming operations arising from the reconfiguration of our gaming floor, limitations on the number of customers present in our facilities, implementation of additional health and safety measures, restrictions on hotel, food and beverage outlets and limits on concerts, conventions or special events that would otherwise attract customers to generally operate its businessesour properties. In addition, future outbreaks of COVID-19 or other public health emergencies may result in the ordinary courseimplementation of stay-at-home or additional social distancing and mitigation measures that could cause future closures of all or a portion of our properties and disruption to our business.
COVID-19 has materially adversely affected the economy and financial markets of the United States and the world and has resulted in widespread unemployment in the United States. Consumer demand for casino hotel and racetrack properties such as ours is particularly sensitive to downturns in the economy, unemployment and the associated impact on discretionary spending on leisure activities which bring demand for casino hotel properties such as ours. We anticipate that there may be a reduced consumer demand following the re-opening of our casinos due to reduced consumer confidence and consumer fear, which is expected to lead to lower occupancy rates, reduced visitation and additional disruptions in our casino business. The extent of changes in customer demand resulting from the economic downturn, widespread unemployment, reduced consumer confidence and consumer fears on our properties cannot reasonably be determined, but the impact of such factors may be significant and protracted.
As a result of the foregoing, we cannot predict the ultimate scope, duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but we expect that it will continue to have a material impact on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations (including revenues and profitability) and stock price for an extended period of time. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of exacerbating many of the other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
We have undertaken aggressive actions to reduce costs and improve efficiencies to mitigate losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which could negatively impact guest loyalty and our ability to attract and retain employees.
As a result of the closure of all material respectsof our properties and the continued uncertainty regarding the duration and severity of this pandemic, we have taken steps to reduce operating costs and improve efficiencies, including furloughing approximately 90% our employees. Such steps, and further changes we may make in the future to reduce costs, may negatively impact guest loyalty or our ability to attract and retain employees, and our reputation may suffer as a result. For example, if our furloughed employees do not return to work with us when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, including because they find new employment during the pendencyfurlough, we may experience operational challenges that may impact our ability to resume operations in full. We may also face demands or requests from labor unions that represent our employees, whether in the course of our periodic renegotiation of our collective bargaining agreements, through effects bargaining relating to the shut down and/or re-opening of our operations, or otherwise, for additional compensation, healthcare benefits or other terms as a result of COVID-19 that could increase costs, and we could experience labor disputes or disruptions as we continue to implement our COVID-19 mitigation plans.
Our ability to remain in compliance with our covenants contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness and Master Lease, and our liquidity, may be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, measures implemented to curtail its spread, and changes in the economy, discretionary spending and consumer confidence.
Our casino operations are a primary source of income and operating cash flows which we rely upon to remain in compliance with covenants contained in the agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness and the Master Lease. In an effort to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on our business and provide sufficient liquidity and capital resources during the period that our casinos are closed and thereafter, on March 16, 2020 we borrowed $465 million under our revolving credit facility, constituting substantially all of our remaining borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. As a result, as of March 31, 2020, we had an aggregate of $953.8 million of borrowings outstanding under our credit facility and $1,850.0 million in outstanding principal amount of senior notes. While we were in compliance with the covenants under our Master Lease and the agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness as of March 31, 2020, our ability to remain in compliance with the quarterly maintenance covenants contained in such agreements would be negatively impacted by a prolonged period of closure of our properties or if the COVID-19 pandemic, measures implemented to curtail its spread or changes in the economy, discretionary spending and consumer confidence have a protracted negative effect on our business. Failure to satisfy such quarterly maintenance covenants would require us to seek waivers or amendments of such covenants. If we are unable to obtain such waivers or amendments, our creditors and the lessor under the Master Lease would be entitled to exercise remedies under the documents governing such obligations, including acceleration of the Merger absent Caesars’ prior written consent. These restrictions could prevent the Company from pursuing attractive business opportunities or responding effectively to competitive pressures and industry developments that arise prior to the consummationoutstanding principal amount of the Mergersuch indebtedness or termination of the Merger AgreementMaster Lease. In addition, while we believe that our cash on hand will be sufficient to provide liquidity to meet our obligations during the period that our properties remain closed, a protracted period of closure of our casinos could impact our ability to make required payments under our outstanding indebtedness, Master Lease or other obligations. Our ability to raise additional financing may be restricted by the covenants and are outsiderestrictions contained in the ordinary course of business. In particular,agreements governing our indebtedness and could be adversely affected by disruptions in the Merger Agreement restrictsfinancing markets and changes to the Company from making certain acquisitions and dispositions. Ifeconomy caused by the Company is unable to take actions it believes are beneficial, such restrictions could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.COVID-19 pandemic.
Delay or failure to consummate the Merger would prevent the Company from realizing the anticipated benefits of the Merger and the Company would also remain liable for significant transaction costs.
Any delay in consummating the Merger has resulted in an increase in the Merger Consideration. The disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may increasecause further delay that increases costs associated with the cash portionMerger.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Consideration and adversely impact the Company’s ability to realize synergies and other benefits that are anticipated if the Merger is consummated within the expected timeframe. In particular, if applicable closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, are not satisfiedby March 25, 2020, the amount of cash payable by the Company as consideration in the Merger Consideration per share of Caesars common stock began to increase on by $0.003333 daily beginning on March 25, 2020 and will increase by $0.003333 for each day (subject to certain exceptions described in the Merger Agreement) from March 25, 2020such amount until the closing date of the Merger. In addition, the market price of the Company’s common stock may reflect various market assumptions as to whether and whenAs a result, delay in consummating the Merger, will be consummated. Consequently, the failure to consummate, or anyincluding a delay in receipt of regulatory approvals resulting from disruption caused by the consummationCOVID-19 pandemic, will increase the cash portion of the Merger could result in significant changes inConsideration. In addition, such delay may increase the market pricecosts of the Company’s common stock. transaction.In addition,particular, the Company has incurred and will continue to incur significant costs relating to the Merger, such as debt commitment, legal, accounting and financial advisor fees, and, printing feesto the extent that the Debt Financing is incurred prior to consummation of the Merger, interest expense, in each case, that may increase in the event that the consummation of the Merger is delayed and will be payable in the event that the Merger is not consummated. Moreover, if

As a termination fee to Caesars of approximately $154.9 million, or in certain other circumstances, approximately $836.8 million. In addition, the Company will be obligated to reimburse Caesars’ expenses for an amount not to exceed $50.0 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated becauseresult of the failure to obtain the required approvalCOVID-19 pandemic, all Caesars’ properties have been temporarily closed and a significant majority of the Company’s stockholders. In the event the MTA is terminated because the Merger Agreement is terminated, the Company is required to pay VICI a fee of $75.0 million pursuant to the terms of the MTA.
Whether or not the Merger is consummated, the pendency of the Merger could cause disruptions in the Company’s business, which couldCaesars’ employees have been furloughed. COVID-19 has had an adverse effectimpact on itsCaesars’ business financial condition and results of operations.
The pendency of the Merger could cause disruptions in the business of the Company, including the following:

Obtaining required approvals and satisfying closing conditions may delay or prevent consummation of the Merger.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to various closing conditions, including, among others, (i) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act and receipt of required gaming approvals, (ii) the absence of any governmental order or law prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, (iii) adoption of the Merger Agreement by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Caesars’ common stock, (iv) the approval by the Company’s stockholders of the issuance of shares of Company’s common stock in the Merger (the “Share Issuance”), (v) the effectiveness of the registration statement for the Company’s common stock to be issued in the Merger and the authorization for listing of those shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market, (vi) absence of a material adverse effect on the other party, (vii) the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties, subject to customary materiality standards, (viii) compliance of the other party with its respective covenants under the Merger Agreement in all material respects and (ix) conversion or certain amendments of, or another mutually agreed arrangement with respect to, Caesars’ 5.00% convertible senior notes due 2024.
If such conditions are not satisfied, the Merger will not be consummated unless such conditions are validly waived. Such conditions may jeopardize or delay consummation of the Merger or may reduce the anticipated benefits of the Merger. Further, no assurance can be given that the required approvals will be obtained or that the conditions to closing will be satisfied. Even if all such approvals are obtained, no assurance can be given as to the terms, conditions and timing of such approvals or that they will satisfy the terms of the Merger Agreement. If the Merger is not consummated by June 24, 2020 (as may be extended to a date no later than December 24, 2020 upon satisfaction of certain conditions to extension set forth in the Merger Agreement), either the Company or Caesars may terminate the Merger Agreement.
The Merger is subject to the receipt of governmental approvals that may impose conditions that could have an adverse effect on the Company or, if not obtained, could prevent consummation of the Merger or, in some circumstances, require the Company to pay Caesars a termination fee of approximately $836.8 million.
Consummation of the Merger is conditioned upon the receipt of certain governmental approvals, including, without limitation, antitrust and gaming regulatory approvals. Although each of the Company and Caesars has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the requisite governmental approvals, there can be no assurance that these approvals will be obtained and that the other conditions to consummating the Merger will be satisfied. In addition, the governmental authorities from which the regulatory approvals are required may impose conditions on the consummation of the Merger or require changes to the terms of the Merger Agreement or other agreements to be entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement. Such conditions or changes and the process of obtaining regulatory approvals could have the effect of delaying or impeding consummation of the Merger or of imposing additional costs or limitations on the Company following consummation of the Merger, any of which might have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, ifWe cannot predict the Merger Agreement is terminated (i) duescope, duration and impact of COVID-19 on Caesars’ business or on the ability of the Company to a law or order relating to gaming or antitrust laws that prohibits or permanently enjoinsrecognize the consummationbenefits of the Merger (ii) because the required regulatory approvals were not obtained prior to June 24, 2020 (as may be extended to a date no later than December 24, 2020 upon satisfaction of certain conditions to extension set forth in the Merger Agreement) or (iii) due to the Company willfully and materially breaching certain obligations with respect to the actions required to be taken by the Company to obtain required antitrust approvals, the Company will be required to pay Caesars a termination fee of approximately $836.8 million.
Moreover, the special meetings at which Caesars stockholders will vote on a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and the Company’s stockholders will vote on a proposal to approve the Share Issuance may take place before all governmental approvals have been obtained and, in cases where such approvals have not been obtained, before the terms of any conditions to obtain such approvalsbut we expect that may be imposed are known. As a result, if the requisite stockholder approvals are obtained at such meetings, the Company and Caesars may make decisions after the special meetings to waive a condition or approve certain actions required to obtain necessary approvals without seeking further stockholder approval. Such actions could have an adverse effect on the combined company’s business, financial condition and results of operations following the Merger.
Antitrust approvals that are required to consummate the Merger may not be received, may take longer than expected or may impose conditions, including the requirement to divest assets, that could have an adverse effect on the combined company following the Merger.
Under the provisionsimpact of the HSR Act, the Merger may not be consummated until filings are made with the Antitrust Division of the DOJ and the FTC and the expiration of a 30-calendar day waiting period, or the early termination of that waiting period, following the parties’ filings. ERI and Caesars filed their respective notification and report forms under the HSR Act on July 16, 2019. If the DOJ or the FTC issues a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Material (a “Second Request”) prior to the expiration of the initial waiting period, the parties must observe a second 30-day waiting period, which would begin to run only after both parties have substantially complied with the Second Request, unless the DOJ or the FTC terminates the second waiting period earlier or the parties otherwise agree to extend the waiting period.
In addition, private parties who may be adversely affected by the Merger and individual states may bring legal actions under the antitrust laws in certain circumstances. Although the Company and Caesars believe the consummation of the Merger will not likely be prevented by antitrust laws, there can be no assurance that a challenge to the Merger on antitrust grounds will not be made or, if a challenge is made, what the result will be. Under the Merger Agreement, the Company and Caesars have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all regulatory clearances necessary to consummate the Merger at the earliest practicable date.
In addition, in order to consummate the Merger, the Company and Caesars may be required to comply with conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions imposed by regulatory entities, including divestitures, and such conditions, terms, obligations or restrictionsCOVID-19 pandemic may have the effect of delaying consummationexacerbating many of the Merger, imposing additional material costs on or materially limiting the revenue of the Company after the consummation of the Merger, or otherwise reducing the anticipated benefits to the Company of the Merger. Such conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions may result in the delay or abandonment of the Merger.
Gaming regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected or may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or cannot be met.
Consummation of the Merger is conditioned on the receipt of approvals from a number of gaming regulatory authorities, including, among others, the Ak Chin Community Tribal Gaming Commission, the Arizona Department of Gaming, the Cherokee Tribal Gaming Commission, the Colorado Division of Gaming, the Illinois Gaming Board, the Indiana Gaming Commission, the Indiana Horse Racing Commission, the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission, the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, the Louisiana State Racing Commission, the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency, the Mississippi Gaming Commission, the Missouri Gaming Commission, the National Indian Gaming Commission, the Nevada Gaming Commission, the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, the Pennsylvania State Horse Racing Commission, the Ohio Lottery Commission, the Gauteng Gambling Board (South Africa), the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Korea) and the Gambling Commission (United Kingdom). In some instances, these approvals include findings of suitability for the Company’s officers and continuing members of the Company’s Board of Directors. These approvals and findings may not be received at all, may not be received in a timely fashion and/or may contain conditions on the granting of such approvals and consummation of the Merger. Such conditions and the process of obtaining regulatory approvals could have the effect of delaying consummation of the Merger or of imposing additional costs or limitations on the combined company following the Merger. In addition, to the extent any officer of the Company is found unsuitable, the Company would need to find a replacement, which may take time and could adversely impact the Company’s financial and operational performance, including the Company’s ability to successfully consummate the Merger and integrate Caesars into the Company. Any such finding of unsuitability by regulatory authorities and resulting resignation or removal of an officer of the Company could also impact the governance structure of the combined company following the Merger.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure the required financing in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement on acceptable terms, in a timely manner, or at all.
The Company intends to finance a portion of the cash required in connection with the Merger, including expenses in connection with the Merger, with the Debt Financing. The Commitment Letter provides for funding to (i) the Company of (a) a $1,000.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, (b) a $3,000.0 million senior secured term loan B facility, (c) a $3,600.0 million senior secured 364-day bridge facility and (d) a $1,800.0 million senior unsecured bridge loan facility and (ii) a subsidiary of Caesars a $2,400.0 million senior secured incremental term loan B facility. The senior secured 364-day bridge facility will only be funded in accordance with the Commitment Letter to the extent that the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales and certain transactions contemplated with VICI as described in the next succeeding paragraph are not
available on the closing date of the Merger to be applied to finance the Merger and expenses in connection therewith. In addition to the Debt Financing, the Company also recently entered into letter agreements with certain financial institutions which additional letter agreements provide (i) for commitments from such financial institutions to provide additional revolving credit facility commitments for the Company and (ii) the engagement of such financial institutions to act as arrangers for additional debt financing, in each case, in the event the Company elects to refinance the existing indebtedness of Caesars Resort Collection, LLC upon the consummation of the Merger. Additionally, the Company may continue to evaluate alternative financing structures and amounts based on its needs and capital markets conditions. The proceeds of the Debt Financing will be used (A) to pay all or a portion of the cash portion of the Merger Consideration, (B) to refinance all of the Company’s existing syndicated bank credit facilities and outstanding senior notes, (C) to refinance certain of Caesars’ and its subsidiaries’ existing debt, (D) to pay transaction fees and expensesrisks related to the foregoing and (E) for working capital and general corporate purposes. The availability of the borrowings under the Debt Financing is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions, including the substantially concurrent closing of the Merger. In the event some or all of the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter is not available, the Company is obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative financing from alternative institutionsMerger described in an amount at least equal to the amount of such unavailable portion of the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter and in an amount sufficient to enable the Company to consummate the Merger.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Commitment Letter, the Company entered into a MTA with VICI. The Company intends to finance a portion of the cash required in connection with the Merger with the proceeds of transactions that are subject to the MTA, including approximately $1.8 billion of proceeds from the expected sale leaseback of certain properties expected to be acquired upon consummation of the Merger, including Harrah’s New Orleans, Harrah’s Laughlin and Harrah’s Atlantic City (or, under certain circumstances, if necessary, certain replacement properties specified in the MTA), and approximately $1.4 billion of proceeds expected to be received in consideration of the amendment of certain existing leases between subsidiaries of Caesars and VICI. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the MTA is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including execution of agreements, receipt of required regulatory approvals, the accuracy of the representations and warranties, compliance with covenants, delivery of certain closing deliverables and the absence of any governmental order or action seeking to prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the MTA. The Company is currently negotiating the sale leaseback documents, lease amendments and other agreements contemplated by the MTA and cannot assure you as to the timing or outcome of those negotiations with VICI. Although the Company expects the transactions contemplated by the MTA to be consummated substantially concurrently with the Merger, there can be no assurance as to the timing of the closing of such transactions or that the closings will occurour Annual Report on the terms set forth in the MTA or at all. In the event that the closings of some or all of the transactions contemplated by the MTA are delayed or do not occur, the Company may be required to incur the 364-day secured bridge facility under the Debt Financing or other additional indebtedness to pay the cash portion of the Merger Consideration, repay the Company’s and certain of Caesars’ and its subsidiaries’ outstanding debt and/or pay transaction fees and expenses related thereto, which could have an adverse impact on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the combined company following the Merger.
The consummation of the Merger is not conditioned on the Company’s ability to obtain financing or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the MTA. If the Company is unable to obtain funding contemplated by the Commitment Letter from its financing sourcesForm 10-K for the cash required in connection with the Merger, the Company may be compelled to specifically perform its obligations to consummate the Merger or could otherwise be subject to claims under the Merger Agreement, each of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Litigation challenging the Merger could delay or prevent the consummation of the Merger.
One of the conditions to the Merger is that no law, statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, code, ruling, subpoena, order, writ, injunction, decree, judgment, ruling, determination, directive, award or settlement issued by a governmental entity (including any gaming authority) shall have been adopted, promulgated or issued that would prohibit, restrain, enjoin or render unlawful the consummation of the Merger or the Share Issuance. Although neither the Company nor Caesars has been notified of any litigation filed challenging the Merger, there can be no assurance that claims will not be filed by stockholders of the Company or Caesars seeking damages related to, or otherwise challenging, the Merger. If any such litigation is filed and the plaintiffs in any such action secure injunctive or other relief prohibiting, delaying or otherwise adversely affecting the Company’s and Caesars’ ability to consummate the Merger, then such injunctive or other relief may prevent the Merger from becoming effective within the expected time frame or at all. If consummation of the Merger is prevented or delayed, it could result in substantial costs to the Company. In addition, whether or not any plaintiff’s claim is successful, the Company could incur significant costs in connection with any such litigation, including costs associated with the indemnification of the Company’s and Caesars’ directors and officers, and management’s attention and resources could be diverted from the consummation of the Merger and ongoing business activities, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Merger Agreement contains provisions that limit the Company’s ability to pursue alternatives to the Merger, could discourage a potential competing acquiror of the Company from making a favorable alternative transaction proposal and, in specified circumstances, could require the Company to pay Caesars a termination fee.
The Merger Agreement contains certain provisions that restrict the Company’s ability to solicit, initiate, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a competing proposal, engage, continue or otherwise participate in any substantive discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish any non-public information to any person in connection with or for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating, a competing proposal, subject to customary exceptions and limitations. In addition, Caesars generally has an opportunity to offer to modify the terms of the Merger Agreement in response to any third-party alternative transaction proposal before the Company’s board of directors may change, qualify, withhold, withdraw or modify its recommendation that the Company’s stockholders approve the Share Issuance. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances relating to changes in the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors in favor of the Share Issuance, entry by the Company into an alternative transaction or following the failure of the Company’s stockholders to approve the Share Issuance, the Company will be required to pay a termination fee of approximately $154.9 million to Caesars, as well as reimburse Caesars’ expenses in an amount not to exceed $50.0 million (creditable against any termination fee that may subsequently be paid by the Company). In such a scenario, the Company may also be required to pay VICI a fee of $75.0 million pursuant to the terms of the MTA.
These provisions could discourage a potential third-party acquiror or merger partner that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant portion of the Company or pursuing an alternative transaction with the Company from considering or proposing such a transaction or might result in a potential third-party acquiror or merger partner proposing to pay a lower price to the stockholders of the Company than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee and expense reimbursement that may become payable in certain circumstances.
If the Merger is not consummated, the price of the Company’s common stock and the Company’s future businesses and operations could be harmed.
If the Merger is not consummated, the Company will not have realized any of the potential benefits of the Merger having been consummated and may be subject to material risks, including:
|
|
|
|
|
|
The integration of the Company and Caesars following the Merger may present significant challenges. We cannot be sure that we will be able to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger in the anticipated time frame or at all.
The Company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger will depend, to a large extent, on the Company’s ability to integrate Caesars’ businesses into the Company in the anticipated time frame or at all. The Company may face significant challenges in combining Caesars’ operations into its operations in a timely and efficient manner.year ended December 31, 2019. The combination of two independent businesses is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. As a result,process and we expect that the Companyimpacts of COVID-19 will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the business practices and operations of Caesars into those of the Company. The integration process may disrupt the businesses and, if implemented ineffectively or inefficiently, would preclude realization of the full benefits expected bymake such combination more challenging. Further, the Company and Caesars. The failure to successfully integrate Caesars into the Company and to manage the challenges presented by the integration process successfully may result in an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the business of the Company, which may have the effect of depressing the market price of the Company’s common stock following the Merger.
The Company may be unable to realize anticipated cost synergies or may incur additional costs.
The Company expects to realize cost synergies from combining administrative and other overlapping functions of Caesars and the Company. However, the Company will be required to incur costs, including severance and related expenses, to realize the anticipated cost savings. While the Company’s management believes the combined entity will benefit from cost synergies, the Company may be unable to realize all of these cost synergies within the time frame expected or at all. In addition, the Company may incur additional or unexpected costs in order to realize these cost synergies.
Unanticipated costs relating to the Merger could reduce the Company’s future earnings per share.
We believe that we have reasonably estimated the likely incremental costs of the combined operations of the Company and Caesars following the Merger. However, it is possible that unexpected transaction costs such as taxes, fees or professional expenses or unexpected future operating expenses such as unanticipated costs to integrate the two businesses or increased personnel costs, as well as other types of unanticipated adverse developments, could have an adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the combined company following the Merger. In addition, if actual costs are materially different than expected costs, the Merger could have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s earnings.
The Company will have a substantial amount of debt outstanding following the Merger and may incur additional indebtedness in the future, which could restrict the Company’s ability to pay dividends and fund working capital and planned capital expenditures.
The Company expects to enter into the Debt Financing in order to consummate the Merger and refinance the Company’s existing syndicated bank credit facilities and senior notes and that a portion of Caesars’ outstanding indebtedness will remain outstanding following the consummation of the Merger. As a result, the Companyits subsidiaries will have a significant amount of additional indebtedness outstanding following the consummation of the Merger. In addition, the CompanyMerger and will have the ability to incur additional debt under its anticipated $1.0 billion revolving credit facility and Caesars Resorts Collection, LLC’s existing $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. The Company also continually evaluates alternative financing structures and amounts based on its needs and capital markets conditions. The Company may be required to incur the 364-day secured bridge facility under the Debt Financing or other additional indebtedness to finance the Merger Consideration if the transactions contemplated by the MTA or the previously announced sales of certain of the Company’s properties are not consummated prior to or in connection with the closing of the Merger. This amount of leverage could have important consequences, including:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Future interest expense will be significantly higher than historic interest expense as a result of higher levels of indebtedness incurred to consummate the Merger. The Company’s ability to make payments on its debt and potential to pay dividends on its common stock, which the Company has not historically done, will depend on its ability to generate cash in the future, which will depend on many factors beyond its control. The Company cannot assure you that:
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the Company cannot generate sufficient cash from its operations to meet its debt servicesignificant obligations it may need to reduce or delay capital expenditures, the development of its business generally and any acquisitions. If the Company becomes unable to meet its debt service and repayment obligations (or those of its subsidiaries following the Merger), it (or its applicable subsidiaries) would be in default under the terms of the applicable credit agreement or indenture, which would allow its lenders or noteholders to declare all outstanding indebtedness thereunder to be due and payable and terminate any commitments to lend thereunder. If the amounts outstanding under its (or its subsidiaries’) credit facilities or indentures were to be accelerated, the Company cannot assure you that its (or its subsidiaries’) assets would be sufficient to repay in full the money owed.
Following consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the MTA, the Company and its subsidiaries will be required to pay a significant portion of their cash flow from operations to third parties pursuant to leasing and related arrangements.
The Company and Caesars currently lease certain parcels of land on which several of their respective properties are located and, pursuant to the terms of MTA, are expected to enter into leases with VICI with respect to parcels of land on which Harrah’s New Orleans, Harrah’s Laughlin and Harrah’s Atlantic City are located and will increase the lease rate on an existing lease agreement between a subsidiary of Caesars and VICI, which will require the Company’s subsidiaries that are parties to such leases to apply a significant amount of their cash flow to required rental payments. These leases also are expected to require certain levels of capital expenditures to be made on the properties leased under these leases on an ongoing basis. As a result of the obligation to pay rent and make capital expenditures under the newits leases with GPLI and existing leases, the ability of the combined company to fund its operations or development projects, raise capital, make acquisitions and otherwise respond to competitive and economic changes may be adversely affected. For example, the obligations under these lease agreements may:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, the annual rent escalations under these lease agreements will continue to apply regardless of the amount of cash flows generated by the properties that are subject to these lease agreements. Accordingly, if the cash flows generated by such properties decrease, or do not increase at the same rate as the rent escalations, the rents payable under these lease agreements could comprise a higher percentage of the cash flows generated by the applicable entity, which could exacerbate, perhaps materially, the issues described above. Any of the above listed factors could have an adverse effect on the combined company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Moreover, if the combined company were to default on any one or more of these lease agreements, the applicable lessors could terminate the affected leases and we could lose possession of the land leased under the affected leases and any improvements on that land, including the hotels and casinos. A termination of these lease agreements could result in a default under the Company’s (or its subsidiaries’) applicable credit agreements, which would allow its lenders to declare all outstanding borrowings to be due and payable and terminate any commitments thereunder, and could have a material adverse effect on the combined company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.VICI. The
The guaranties to be entered into by the Company in connection with the existing and new leases with VICI will include covenants that may restrict the ability of the Company to pay dividends, repurchase its shares and sell assets.
The Company will guaranty the obligations of its subsidiaries under the existing and new leases with VICI pursuant to which the Company’s subsidiaries will lease certain parcels of land on which several of their respective properties are located. These guaranties will include covenants, which, among other things, may restrict the ability of the Company to pay dividends or repurchase its shares if its market capitalization is less than $5.5 billion, and may restrict the ability of the Company to sell assets directly owned by it.
Delay or failure to consummate the sale of properties previously announced by the Company may require the Company to incur additional debt to pay the cash portion of the Merger Consideration or to repay outstanding indebtedness of the Company or otherwise adversely impact the business, financial condition and results of operations of the combined company following the Merger.
On June 17, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to sell Lady Luck Caruthersville, Isle Casino Cape Girardeau and Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort for aggregate consideration of $385.0 million, and on July 10, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to sell Isle of Capri Casino Kansas City and Lady Luck Casino Vicksburg for aggregate consideration of $230.0 million, in each case subject to certain adjustments. The consummation of each transaction is subject to satisfaction of customary conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals, the accuracy of the parties’ representations and warranties, compliance with covenants, delivery of certain closing deliverables and the absence of any governmental order or action seeking to prohibit the consummation of the transaction. Although the Company expects such sale transactions to be consummated prior to consummation of the Merger, there can be no assurance as to the timing of the closing of such sales or that the closings will occur on the terms set forth in the purchase agreements relating to the sales, or at all. In the event that the closing of either sale is delayed or does not occur, the Company may be required to incur the 364-day secured bridge facility under the Debt Financing or other additional indebtedness to pay the cash portion of the Merger Consideration, to repay the Company’s and certain of Caesars’ and its subsidiaries outstanding debt and/orexpect to pay transaction fees and expenses related thereto,satisfy such obligations with cash flows from operations, which could adversely impact the business, financial condition and results of operations of the combined company following the Merger.
In connection with the Merger, the Company is expected to enter into purchase agreements to cause Caesars to sell Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City, Harrah’s Laughlin and Harrah’s New Orleans (or, under certain circumstances, if necessary, certain replacement properties, specified in the MTA) to VICI for aggregate consideration of approximately $1.8 billion, subject to satisfaction of customary conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals. In the event that the closing of any of the sales is delayed or does not occur within a certain timeframe, the Company may be required to incur the 364-day secured bridge facilityimpacted by COVID-19, cash on hand, borrowings under the Debt Financing or othercommitted credit facilities, additional indebtedness to pay the cash portion of the Merger Consideration, to repay the Company’sfinancing and certain of Caesars’ and its subsidiaries outstanding debt and/or to pay transaction fees and expenses related thereto, which could adversely impact the business, financial condition and results of operations of the combined company following the Merger.proceeds from asset sales.
