NOTE 4—MGE NIAGARA RESORTS:

In September 2018, MGE Niagara was selected by the OLG to be the service provider for the MGE Niagara Resorts. Following its selection, MGE Niagara entered into a Transition and Asset Purchase Agreement with the OLG and the Ontario Gaming Assets Corporation. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, MGE Niagara agreed to acquire certain assets associated with the MGE Niagara Resorts and to perform certain transition activities in order to facilitate the transition of the operational responsibilities from the previous operator to MGE Niagara.

On the Closing Date, MGE Niagara completed the Acquisition, assumed the day-to-day operations of the properties under the terms of the COSA and engaged in a series of transactions related thereto, including: (i) a lease agreement with the OLG to lease the Fallsview Casino Resort and related administrative office space, (ii) a lease agreement with a third-party investor to lease Casino Niagara and related license agreements to operate an adjacent parking lot and the right for patrons to use an adjacent parking garage and (iii) a commitment to enter into a lease agreement with a third-party to lease the Niagara Falls Entertainment Centre on a date after the completion of its construction, which occurred on June 5, 2020.

As of the Closing Date, the purchase price of the Acquisition was approximately 96 million Canadian dollars (approximately $72 million), net of cash acquired of approximately 57 million Canadian dollars (approximately $43 million). During the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded adjustments to the purchase price of the Acquisition totaling 2.2 million Canadian dollars ($1.7 million), net of cash acquired of approximately 518,000 Canadian dollars (approximately $390,000).

The below unaudited pro forma financial information was prepared as if the Acquisition, the financing to fund the Acquisition and the lease transactions had occurred on October 1, 2018. Unaudited pro forma financial information does not necessarily represent results that may occur in the future. The following unaudited pro forma financial information includes historical financial results of the MGE Niagara Resorts prior to the Acquisition, adjusted to include the Company's share of revenues earned under the COSA which are recorded on a net basis, along with other adjustments directly attributable to the Acquisition, including interest expense and depreciation (in thousands, unaudited):

As a result of the temporary suspension of operations that stemmed from Regulation 82/20, the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act mandated the closure of all places of non-essential business in Ontario. In collaboration with the OLG, the following has been temporarily agreed to for a defined period, subject to further extension(s) on mutual agreement: (i) the continuation of the service provider base fixed fee payments as required by the COSA and (ii) the temporary suspension of the payment of the portion of gaming revenues that represents the threshold, such that threshold payments do not apply during the casino closure period while there are no gaming revenues. MGE Niagara has also agreed with the OLG to work on a graduated and commercially reasonable phase-in of threshold payments to accommodate the extended business ramp up periods once health concerns are curtailed and approvals are obtained to reopen the MGE Niagara Resorts. In addition, in collaboration and cooperation with the OLG, MGE Niagara will work on a casino restart plan to effect the safe, orderly, efficient and commercially reasonable restart of the MGE Niagara Resorts’ operations at the end of the extended casino closure periods. Additionally, MGE Niagara was granted a deferral of rental payments due under certain of its lease agreements.
