Item 1.Security and Issuer.
This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) is being filed to update the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2011, as amended (the “Original Schedule 13D”), and is being filed on behalf of the Reporting Persons with respect to the shares of the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Tropicana Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” or the “Company”). The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 3801 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a group for the purposes of Section 13 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with each of such Reporting Persons being deemed to have beneficial ownership of all of the shares owned by the group.
Except as otherwise described herein, the information contained in the Original Schedule 13D remains in effect. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the respective meanings set forth with respect thereto in the Original Schedule 13D.
Item 2.Identity and Background.
No change.
Item 3.Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
No change.
Item 4.Purpose of the Transaction.
No change except as described below.
On August 25, 2015, Tropicana Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, Inc., Penn National Gaming, Inc., LV Merger Sub, Inc. and Trilliant Gaming Nevada Inc. consummated the transactions (the “Merger”) contemplated under that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 28, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which each share of Class A common stock and each share of preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into the right of each holder to receive an amount in cash equal, without interest, to the per share merger consideration calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement (calculated as if such share of preferred stock had been converted to shares of Class A common stock in accordance with its terms immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger). Upon the closing of the Merger, each share of Class A common stock was converted into the right to receive approximately $11.25, which amount is subject to post-closing adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and each share of preferred stock was converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the product of the Common Stock Pricemultiplied by the number of shares of Class A common stock into which such share of preferred stock was convertible at such time. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Preferred Stock was calculated in accordance with the certificate of designations for each series of Preferred Stock, as applicable, by dividing (A) the sum of (i) the original purchase price of the applicable share of Preferred Stock and (ii) the amount of cumulated dividends with respect to such share of Preferred Stock from the original issue date to the date of conversion, by (B) the applicable conversion price of such share of Preferred Stock.
Each of Mr. Alex Yemenidjian, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Issuer, Mr. Timothy Duncanson, one of the Issuer’s directors, and Mr. Gerald Schwartz, the chairman and controlling stockholder of Onex Corporation, owned one-third of the outstanding voting securities of Trilliant Gaming, and together Messrs. Yemenidjian, Duncanson and Schwartz owned 100% of the outstanding voting securities of Trilliant Gaming. A stockholders agreement among Messrs. Yemenidjian, Duncanson and Schwartz set forth the rights of each of them with respect to control of Trilliant Gaming and, in turn, the securities of the Issuer owned by the Onex Armenco Gaming Entities (as defined below).
The shares beneficially owned by Trilliant Gaming consisted of an indirect pecuniary interest in shares held by Onex Armenco Gaming I LP, Onex Armenco Gaming II LP, Onex Armenco Gaming III LP, Onex Armenco Gaming IV LP, Onex Armenco Gaming V LP, Onex Armenco Gaming VI LP, Onex Armenco Gaming VII LP, Onex Armenco Gaming IX LP, Onex Armenco Gaming X LP and Onex Armenco Gaming XI LP (collectively, the “Onex Armenco Gaming Entities”). Trilliant Gaming was the general partner of, and controlled all voting and investment decisions of, each of the Onex Armenco Gaming Entities. Trilliant Gaming disclaimed beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
No change except as described in Item 4 and further described below.
As of the date hereof, none of the Reporting Persons owns any shares of the Issuer. The Cover Pages of this Amendment are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 6.Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
No change except as described in Item 4.
Item 7.Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
No change.
