Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On April 19, 2010, Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) reporting that the Company had concluded that it would cancel the Company’s Sugarcane Bay project in Lake Charles, Louisiana. At the time the Form 8-K was filed, management anticipated that there may be cash expenditures associated with terminating certain contracts related to Sugarcane Bay, which amounts management could not estimate at that time.
The Company is filing this Form 8-K/A to amend the Original Form 8-K to update the disclosure therein under Item 2.05. On January 11, 2011, management made a determination of the estimated amount of the cash expenditures associated with terminating certain contracts related to the Company’s Sugarcane Bay project. Management estimates that the amount of the cash expenditures will be between approximately $100,000 to $10 million. The ranges for the cash expenditures represent estimates and remain subject to additional review.
