Item 8.01: Other Events
In its Form 8-K filing on May 24, 2007, Monarch Casino and Resort, Inc. (“Monarch”), announced that the Compensation Committee of its Board of Directors (the “Board”) recommended, and the Board approved, that John Farahi, Monarch Co-Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, be awarded a cash bonus of $400,000 and that Bob Farahi, Monarch Co-Chairman of the Board, Secretary and President, be awarded a cash bonus of $150,000 for services rendered during 2006.
In determining these award amounts, the Compensation Committee and the Board considered the fact that neither John Farahi nor Bob Farahi were awarded a cash bonus for services they rendered in 2005.
