Exhibit 99.2
CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Background
On October 31, 2018, Churchill Downs Incorporated (the “Company”) announced that it had entered into a definitive purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire certain ownership interests of Midwest Gaming Holdings, LLC (“Midwest Gaming”), the parent company of Rivers Casino Des Plaines in Des Plaines, Illinois for cash (the “Sale Transaction”).
The Sale Transaction was comprised of (i) the Company’s purchase of 100% of the ownership stake in Midwest Gaming held by affiliates andco-investors of Clairvest Group Inc. (“Clairvest”) for approximately $291.0 million and (ii) the Company’s offer to purchase, on the same terms, additional units of Midwest Gaming held by High Plaines Gaming, LLC (“High Plaines”), an affiliate of Rush Street Gaming, LLC, and Casino Investors, LLC (“Casino Investors“). On March 5, 2019, the Company completed the Sale Transaction. Based on the results of the purchase of the Clairvest ownership stake and the purchase, on the same terms, of additional units held by High Plaines and Casino Investors, the Company acquired, at the closing of the Sale Transaction, approximately 42% of Midwest Gaming for aggregate cash consideration of $406.6 million.
Following the closing of the Sale Transaction, the parties entered into a recapitalization transaction pursuant to which Midwest Gaming used approximately $300.0 million in proceeds from new credit facilities to redeem, on a pro rata basis, additional Midwest Gaming units held by High Plaines and Casino Investors (the “Recapitalization” and together with the Sale Transaction, the “Transactions“). As a result of the Recapitalization on March 6, 2019, the Company’s ownership of Midwest Gaming increased to 61.3%.
The total aggregate cash consideration for the Sale Transaction was $410.1 million, which included $3.5 million of certain transaction costs and working capital adjustments. The Company recognized a $109.6 million deferred tax liability and a corresponding increase in the Company’s investment in unconsolidated affiliates related to an entity the Company acquired in conjunction with its acquisition of the Clairvest ownership.
A new LLC agreement for Midwest Gaming was entered into by all members as a result of the change in ownership structure of Midwest Gaming due to the Transactions. Under the new LLC agreement, both the Company and High Plaines have participating rights over Midwest Gaming, and both must consent to Midwest Gaming’s operating, investing and financing decisions. As a result, the Company accounts for Midwest Gaming using the equity method of accounting.
