Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 13, 2007, the registrant and its subsidiary, Casino America of Colorado, Inc. (collectively, “Isle of Capri”), executed a definitive Unit Purchase Agreement with Nevada Gold & Casinos, Inc. and its subsidiary Blackhawk Gold, Ltd. (collectively, “Nevada Gold”), pursuant to which Isle of Capri will acquire the 43% interest in Isle of Capri Black Hawk, L.L.C., which is currently owned by Nevada Gold. Under the terms of the agreement, the registrant has agreed to pay $64.6 million for the remaining 43% interest, payable upon closure of the sale. Upon closing, Isle of Capri Black Hawk, L.L.C. would become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Isle of Capri. The closing of the transaction is subject to the approval of Nevada Gold’s stockholders (some of whom have executed and agreed to execute a Stockholder Support Agreement pursuant to which they agree to vote for, and otherwise support, the transaction) and certain other customary closing conditions.
A copy of the Unit Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
