Exhibit 99.4
Unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations based upon the combined audited and unaudited historical financial statements of Eldorado Resorts, Inc. (“ERI” or the “Company”) and Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Isle”), after giving effect to the Isle Merger and the Isle Property Dispositions (each as defined below, and together, the “Combined Transactions”), and the adjustments described in the accompanying notes.
TheERI-Isle Merger
On May 1, 2017, ERI completed its acquisition of Isle pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of September 19, 2016, among, Eagle I Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of ERI, and Eagle II Acquisition Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of ERI (the “Isle Acquisition” or the “Isle Merger”). As a result of the Isle Merger, Isle became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ERI and, at the effective time of the Isle Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of Isle common stock converted into the right to receive $23.00 in cash or 1.638 shares of ERI common stock, at the election of the applicable Isle shareholder and subject to the proration and allocation procedures described in the Merger Agreement, such that the outstanding shares of Isle common stock were exchanged for aggregate consideration comprised of 58% cash, or $552.0 million, and 42% ERI common stock, or 28.5 million newly issued shares of ERI common stock. The transaction carried a purchase price of $1.98 billion. See Note 2 to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (the “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements”) for additional information on the purchase consideration.
In connection with the Isle Acquisition, ERI completed a debt financing transaction comprised of: (a) a senior secured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.75 billion with a (i) term loan facility of $1.45 billion and (ii) revolving credit facility of $300 million and (b) $375 million of senior unsecured notes. The proceeds of such borrowings were used (w) to pay the cash consideration in the Isle Merger, (x) refinance all of Isle’s then-outstanding credit facilities and senior and senior subordinated notes, (y) refinance ERI’s then-existing credit facility and (z) pay transaction fees and expenses related to the foregoing.
ERI and Isle have different fiscal year-ends, and Isle’s fiscal year end does not coincide with calendar quarters. ERI’s most recent fiscal year end is December 31, 2016, and its most recent fiscal period end is March 31, 2017. Isle’s most recent audited fiscal year end was April 24, 2016, and its most recent fiscal period end was January 22, 2017. As a result, pro forma financial information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 reflects results of operations of ERI as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 and results of operations of Isle as of and for the twelve months ended January 22, 2017. The historical financial and operating data for Isle for the twelve months ended January 22, 2017 is derived by adding the financial data from Isle’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended January 22, 2017 and Isle’s audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended April 24, 2016, and subtracting Isle’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine-month period ended January 24, 2016. Additionally, pro forma financial information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 reflects results of operations of ERI as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and results of operations of Isle as of and for the three months ended January 22, 2017.
The Isle property dispositions
On August 22, 2016, Isle entered into a definitive agreement to sell Isle of Capri Casino Hotel Lake Charles for approximately $134.5 million subject to a customary purchase price adjustment, to an affiliate of Laguna Development Corporation, a Pueblo of Laguna-owned business based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The transaction is expected to be completed in 2017, subject to Louisiana Gaming Board approval and other customary closing conditions.
On March 13, 2017, Isle completed the sale of Lady Luck Casino Marquette to CQ Holdings, Inc. (“CQ”), based in Swansea, Illinois. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, which was entered into on October 13, 2016, CQ purchased Lady Luck Casino Marquette for cash consideration of $40.0 million, including a customary working capital adjustment of $0.5 million.
The sale of Isle of Capri Hotel Lake Charles and Lady Luck Casino Marquette (together, the “Isle Property Dispositions”) both qualify for discontinued operations treatment under generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the results of Isle of Capri Casino Hotel Lake Charles and Lady Luck Casino Marquette have been excluded from income from continuing operations in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented herein.
Basis for historical information
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared by management for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the results of operations, balance sheet data or other financial information of ERI would have been if the Combined Transactions had occurred as of the dates indicated or what such results will be for any future periods. The pro forma adjustments are based on the preliminary assumptions and information available at the time of the preparation of this report. The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are: (1) directly attributable to the Combined Transactions, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the Unaudited Pro Forma Income Statements, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of ERI. As such, the Unaudited Pro Forma Income Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and for the year ended December 31, 2016, do not reflectnon-recurring charges that will be incurred in connection with the Combined Transactions. The Unaudited Pro Forma Income Statement also does not reflect any cost savings from potential operating efficiencies or associated costs to achieve such savings or synergies that are expected to result from the Combined Transactions nor does it include any costs associated with severance, exit or disposal of businesses or assets, restructuring or integration activities resulting from the Combined Transactions, as they are currently not known, and, to the extent they arise, they are expected to benon-recurring and will not have been incurred at the closing date of the Combined Transactions. However, such costs could affect the combined company following the Combined Transactions in the period the costs are incurred. Further, the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements do not reflect the effect of any regulatory actions that may impact the results of the combined company following the Combined Transactions.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic No. 805,Business Combinations, with ERI treated as the accounting acquirer of theERI-Isle Merger, and reflect the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, using the assumptions set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
Description ofERI-Isle Merger
On May 1, 2017, ERI completed the Isle Acquisition pursuant to the Merger Agreement. As a result, Isle became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ERI and, at the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Isle common stock converted into the right to receive $23.00 in cash or 1.638 shares of ERI common stock (the “Stock Consideration”), at the election of the applicable Isle shareholder and subject to the proration and allocation procedures described in the Merger Agreement, such that the outstanding shares of Isle common stock were exchanged for aggregate consideration comprised of 58% cash, or $552.0 million, and 42% ERI common stock, or 28.5 million newly issued shares of ERI common stock. The transaction carried a purchase price of $1.98 billion.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the outstanding equity awards of Isle were converted into comparable equity awards of ERI stock as follows:
Isle stock options. Each option or other right to acquire Isle common stock Time (each an “Isle Stock Option”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested), as of the Effective Time, (i) continued to vest or accelerate (if unvested), as the case may be, in accordance with the applicable Isle stock plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Isle Stock Option was granted and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement), (ii) ceased to represent an option or right to acquire shares of Isle common stock, and (iii) was converted into an option or right to purchase that number of shares ERI common stock equal to the number of shares of Isle common stock subject to the Isle Stock Option multiplied by the Stock Consideration at an exercise price equal to the exercise price of the Isle Stock Option divided by the Stock Consideration, subject to the same restrictions and other terms as are set forth in the Isle equity incentive plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Isle Stock Option was granted and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement).
Isle restricted stock awards. Each share of Isle common stock subject to vesting, repurchase or lapse restrictions (each an “Isle Restricted Share”) that was outstanding under any Isle equity plan or otherwise immediately prior to the Effective Time, as of the Effective Time, continued to vest or accelerate (if unvested), as the case may be, in accordance with the applicable Isle stock plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Isle Restricted Share was granted, and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement) and was exchanged for shares of ERI common stock (in an amount equal to the Stock Consideration, with aggregated fractional shares rounded to the nearest whole share) and remain subject to the same restrictions and other terms as are set forth in the Isle stock plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Isle Restricted Share was granted, and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement).
Isle performance stock units. Each performance stock unit (each, an “Isle PSU”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, as of the Effective Time, (i) continued to vest or accelerate (if unvested), as the case may be, in accordance with the applicable Isle stock plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Isle PSU was granted, and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement), (ii) was converted into a number of performance stock units in respect of shares of ERI common stock, in an amount equal to the Stock Consideration (with aggregated fractional shares rounded to the nearest whole share) at the target level of performance, and (iii) remain subject to the same restrictions and other terms as are set forth in the Isle stock plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Isle PSU was granted, and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement).
Isle restricted stock units. Each restricted stock unit, deferred stock unit or phantom unit in respect of a share of Isle common stock granted under the applicable Isle stock plan or otherwise, including any such units held in participant accounts under any employee benefit or compensation plan or arrangement of Isle, other than an Isle PSU (each an “Isle RSU”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, as of the Effective Time, (i) continued to vest or accelerate (if unvested), as the case may be, in accordance with the applicable Isle stock plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Isle RSU was granted, and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement or applicable employee benefit plan), (ii) was converted into a number of restricted stock units, deferred stock units or phantom units, as applicable, in respect of shares of ERI common stock, in an amount equal to the Stock Consideration (with aggregated fractional shares rounded to the nearest whole share), and (iii) remain subject to the same restrictions and other terms as are set forth in the Isle stock plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Isle RSU was granted, and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement or applicable employee benefit plan).
Financing agreement
In connection with the Isle Acquisition, ERI completed a debt financing transaction comprised of: (a) a senior secured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.75 billion with a (i) term loan facility of $1.45 billion and (ii) revolving credit facility of $300 million and (b) $375 million of senior unsecured notes. The proceeds of such borrowings were used (w) to pay the cash consideration in the Isle Merger, (x) refinance all of Isle’s then-outstanding credit facilities and senior and senior subordinated notes, (y) refinance ERI’s then-existing credit facility and (z) pay transaction fees and expenses related to the foregoing.
6% Senior Notes
On March 29, 2017, Eagle II Acquisition Company LLC (“Eagle II”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “6% Senior Notes”) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 29, 2017 (the “New Indenture”), between Eagle II and U.S. Bank, National Association, as Trustee. The 6% Senior Notes will mature on April 1, 2025, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1, commencing October 1, 2017. The proceeds of the offering were placed in escrow pending satisfaction of certain conditions, including consummation of the Isle Acquisition. In connection with the consummation of the Isle Acquisition on May 1, 2017, the escrowed funds were released and ERI assumed Eagle II’s obligations under the 6% Senior Notes and the New Indenture and certain of ERI’s subsidiaries (including Isle and certain of its subsidiaries) executed guarantees of ERI’s obligations under the 6% Senior Notes.
New Credit Facility
On April 17, 2017, Eagle II entered a new Credit Agreement by and among Eagle II, as initial borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto dated as of April 17, 2017 (the “New Credit Facility”), consisting of a $1.45 billion term loan facility (the “New Term Loan Facility”) and a $300.0 million revolving credit facility
(the “New Revolving Credit Facility”), which was undrawn at closing. The interest rate per annum applicable to loans under the New Revolving Credit Facility are, at the Company’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% or (ii) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.50%, which margin will be based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. The interest rate per annum applicable to the loans under the New Term Loan Facility will be, at the Company’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus 2.25%, or (ii) a base rate plus 1.25%; provided, however, that in no event will LIBOR be less than zero or the base rate be less than 1.00% over the term of the New Term Loan Facility or the New Revolving Credit Facility. Additionally, we will be subject to fees on the unused portion of the New Revolving Credit Facility. The proceeds of the New Term Loan Facility were placed in escrow pending satisfaction of certain conditions, including consummation of the Isle Acquisition. In connection with the consummation of the Isle Acquisition on May 1, 2017, the escrowed funds were released and ERI assumed Eagle II’s obligations under the New Credit Facility and certain of ERI’s subsidiaries (including Isle and certain of its subsidiaries) executed guarantees of ERI’s obligations under the New Credit Facility.
Note 2—Calculation of purchase consideration
The total purchase consideration for the purpose of this pro forma financial information is $1.98 billion. The purchase consideration in theERI-Isle Merger was determined with reference to the fair value on the date ERI, Isle, Merger Sub A and Escrow Issuer entered into the Merger Agreement.

For pro forma purposes, the fair value of consideration given and thus the purchase price was determined based upon the $19.12 per share closing price of ERI common stock on April 28, 2017.
(1) | The cash component of the consideration is computed based on 58% of outstanding shares of Isle’s common stock to be converted to $23.00 in cash per share. The Merger Agreement provides that 58% of the aggregate consideration that will be paid by ERI will be paid in cash. As a result, if the cash election is oversubscribed or undersubscribed, then certain adjustments will be made to the Merger Consideration to proportionately reduce the Cash Consideration or Stock Consideration amounts received by the Isle stockholders. See discussion of Stock Consideration component in note (2) below. |
(2) | The Stock Consideration component of the consideration is computed based on 42% of outstanding shares of Isle’s common stock to be converted to 1.638 shares of ERI’s common stock per share. The Merger Agreement provides that 58% of the aggregate consideration that will be paid by ERI will be paid in cash, as described in note (1) above. The remaining 42% of the aggregate consideration will be paid in shares of ERI common stock. The total Stock Consideration and per share consideration above were based on ERI stock price on April 28, 2017 ($19.12 per share). |
(3) | Consideration paid for replacement of Isle’s outstanding equity awards. As discussed in Note 1, Isle’s outstanding equity awards were replaced by ERI equity awards with similar terms. A portion of the fair value of ERI awards issued represents consideration transferred, while a portion represents compensation expense based on the vesting terms of the equity awards. |
Preliminary purchase price accounting
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Isle are recorded at the acquisition date fair values and added to those of ERI. The pro forma adjustments on the condensed combined balance sheet are preliminary and based on estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 31, 2017 and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of theERI-Isle Merger. The allocation is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have not yet been completed. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses and final valuations are completed. There can be no assurances that these additional analyses and final valuations will not result in significant changes to the estimates of fair value set forth below.
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Isle, with the excess recorded as goodwill (dollars in thousands):

(i) | Reflects actual borrowings as of May 1, 2017 to consummate the Combined Transactions. Working capital needs, including statutory cage requirements, to operate the business is expected to be approximately $100.0 million. Note that the pro forma cash balance as of March 31, 2017, includes the net cash proceeds from the Isle Property Dispositions. Further note that subsequent to the sale of Marquette, Isle redeemed $50.0 million in long-term notes in April 2017. |
(2) | Reflects the elimination of deferred financing costs of approximately $2.4 million associated with Isle’s long-term debt. |
(3) | Represents the estimated adjustment to step up Isle’s property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) to a fair value of approximately $859.5 million, an increase of approximately $49.4 million from the carrying value. The fair value estimate is preliminary and subject to change. In addition, there was a $3.8 million fair value adjustment to Other long-term liabilities associated with certain leased property accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic No. 840,Leases. |
The fair value of land 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 inarm’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 using the cost approach using a direct cost model built on estimates of replacement cost. With respect to personal property components of the assets, 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.
Adjustments to depreciation expense for property and equipment were based on comparing the historical depreciation recorded during the periods presented to the revised depreciation. The revised depreciation was calculated by dividing, on a straight-line basis, the fair value assigned to Isle’s property and equipment by the estimated remaining useful lives assigned to the assets. The following table illustrates the pro forma adjustments to depreciation expense (dollars in thousands):
Three months ended March 31, 2017 | Year ended December 31, 2016 | |||||||
To eliminate historical depreciation related to PP&E | $ | (17,071 | ) | $ | (68,412 | ) | ||

(4) | Represents the estimated adjustment to step up Isle’s intangible assets, the elimination of historical Isle goodwill and the recognition of the preliminary goodwill for the purchase consideration in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired in connection with theERI-Isle Merger. |
The fair value of Isle’s intangibles assets is approximately $453.3 million, an increase of approximately $421.7 million from the carrying value. The fair value estimate is preliminary and subject to change. Preliminary identifiable intangible assets in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements consist of the following (dollars in thousands):
Fair value | Useful life | |||||||
Trade Names | $ | 92,900 | Indefinite | |||||

The fair value of the gaming licenses was determined using the excess earnings or replacement cost methodology based on the respective states’ legislation. The excess earnings methodology, which is an income approach methodology that allocates the projected cash flows of the business to the gaming license intangible assets less charges for the use of other identifiable assets of Isle including working capital, fixed assets and other intangible assets. This methodology was considered appropriate as the gaming licenses are the primary asset of Isle and the licenses are linked to each respective facility. 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.
Trademarks are valued using the relief from royalty method, which presumes that without ownership of such trademarks, ERI 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, ERI avoids any such payments and record the related intangible value of ERI’s ownership of the brand name. The primary assumptions in the valuation included revenue,pre-tax royalty rate, and tax expense.
ERI has preliminarily assigned an indefinite useful life to the gaming licenses, in accordance with its review of the applicable guidance of ASC Topic No. 350,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The standard required ERI to consider, among other things, the expected use of the asset, the expected useful life of other related asset or asset group, any legal,
regulatory, or contractual provisions that may limit the useful life, ERI’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, ERI determined that no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors limit the useful lives of these intangible assets. Isle currently has licenses in Pennsylvania, Iowa, Missouri, Mississippi, Florida and Colorado. 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, ERI’s historical experience has not indicated, nor does ERI 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, ERI has preliminarily concluded that the useful lives of these licenses are indefinite.
Adjustments to amortization expense for definite-lived intangibles were based on comparing the historical amortization recorded during the periods presented to the revised amortization. The revised amortization was based on the estimated fair value amortized over the respective useful lives of the intangible assets. The following table illustrates the pro forma adjustments to amortization expense (dollars in thousands):

(5) | Reflects the elimination of Isle’s deferred rent liabilities of $4.1 million ($0.6 million in current liabilities—Accrued other liabilities and $3.5 million innon-current liabilities—Other long-term liabilities) as a purchase accounting adjustment. |
(6) | Represents the change in stock-based compensation expense due to the equity award modification and resulting remeasurement of the fair value of stock based compensation as a result of theERI-Isle Merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Isle Stock Options, Isle Restricted Shares, Isle PSUs, and Isle RSUs will be replaced and converted into equity awards in respect of shares of ERI’s common stock. As discussed in Note 2 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements, a portion of the fair value of ERI awards issued represent compensation expense. As a result of accelerated vesting, pro forma compensation expense decreased by approximately $0.2 million and $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively. |
(7) | Reflects adjustments to current and long-term debt for borrowings to fund theERI-Isle Merger net of aggregate reductions in long-term debt (including unamortized original issuance discounts and unamortized deferred financing cost).

(8) | Represents the deferred tax impact associated with the incremental differences in book and tax basis created from the preliminary purchase price allocation, primarily resulting from the acquisition date value of PP&E and intangibles. Deferred taxes were established based on a statutory tax rate of 40%, based on jurisdictions where income has historically been generated. This estimate of deferred tax is preliminary and is subject to change based on ERI’s final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by jurisdiction. |
(9) | ERI and Isle incurred approximately $103.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively, for a total of $108.2 million in transaction related costs. Of the $103.6 million ERI costs, $16.1 million was recorded on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2017. Approximately $42.2 million consists primarily of legal, financial advisor, gaming license transfer fees, accounting and consulting costs, and was shown as a pro forma adjustment reducing retained earnings. These costs are not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations because they are nonrecurring items that are directly related to theERI-Isle Merger. Approximately $45.3 million was related to financing and was capitalized and netted against the debt balance as described in Note (7) above. |

Note 4—Unaudited pro forma financial statement reclassification adjustments
Certain reclassifications have been recorded to the historical financial statements of Isle to provide comparability and consistency for the anticipated post-combined company presentation.
Reclassifications were made between certain current assets, between certain current liabilities, and between certainnon-current liabilities to provide consistency in presentation.
Reclassifications were made among revenue components to classify certain revenue streams consistently between the two companies. These included presenting pari-mutuel commissions revenues, food and beverage revenues, and other revenue as separate line items. Additionally, slot free-play was reclassified from promotional allowances to casino revenue.
Reclassifications were also made between expense line items, such as casino, gaming taxes and other costs, as well as marketing and promotions and general and administrative. Marine and facilities expenses were reclassified to general and administrative and other expenses, and gaming taxes were reclassified to casino expenses. Certain reclassifications were required to remain consistent with the changes made within revenue reclassifications.
The reclassifications reflect the anticipated presentation of the post- combination company’s financial statements and are subject to change.
