Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On August 1, 2016, Boyd Gaming Corporation (“Boyd”) completed its previously announced sale of its 50% equity interest in Marina District Development Holding Company, LLC (“MDDHC”), the parent company of the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, New Jersey (“Borgata”), to MGM Resorts International (“MGM”) pursuant to an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) entered into on May 31, 2016, as amended on July 19, 2016, by and among Boyd, Boyd Atlantic City, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boyd (“Seller”), and MGM.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, MGM acquired from Seller 49% of its 50% membership interest in MDDHC and, immediately thereafter, MDDHC redeemed Seller’s remaining 1% membership interest in MDDHC (collectively, the “Transaction”). Following the Transaction, MDDHC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MGM.
In consideration for the Transaction, MGM paid to Boyd approximately $900 million. Cash proceeds paid to Boyd were approximately $589 million, net of certain expenses and adjustments on the closing date in the form of outstanding indebtedness, cash, and working capital. These initial proceeds do not include Boyd’s 50% share of potential future property tax settlement benefits. Borgata estimates that it is entitled to property tax refunds totaling approximately $160 million, including amounts due under court decisions rendered in its favor, and estimates for open tax appeals.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, together with the amendment to the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.2 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On August 1, 2016, Boyd issued a press release to announce the closing of the Transaction. A copy of the press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.
An unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016, unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2016, and the notes thereto, reflecting the Transaction, are attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have occurred had the Transaction been effected on the assumed dates.
