Eldorado Shreveport, MontBleu and Evansville
In connection with its review of the Merger, the Indiana Gaming Commission determined on July 16, 2020 that the Company is required to divest three properties within the state of Indiana in order to avoid undue economic concentrations as conditions to the Indiana Gaming Commission’s approval of the Merger. On October 27, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to sell Evansville to GLPI and Twin River for $480 million in cash, subject to a customary working capital adjustment. The sale is subject to satisfaction of customary conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals and is expected to close in mid-2021. In addition, the Company plans to enter into agreements to divest of Caesars Southern Indiana and Horseshoe Hammond prior to December 31, 2020. Evansville met the requirements for presentation as assets held for sale as of September 30, 2020, while Caesars Southern Indiana and Horseshoe Hammond met the requirements for presentation as held for sale and discontinued operations.
On April 24, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement with Twin River and certain of its affiliates for the sale of the equity interests of Eldorado Resort Casino Shreveport Joint Venture and Columbia Properties Tahoe, LLC, the entities that hold Eldorado Shreveport and MontBleu, respectively, for aggregate consideration of $155 million, subject to a working capital adjustment. The definitive agreement provides that the consummation of the sale is subject to satisfaction of customary conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals. Eldorado Shreveport and MontBleu are expected to close in the first quarter of 2021.
Eldorado Shreveport and MontBleu met the requirements for presentation as assets held for sale as of September 30, 2020. However, the pending divestitures of Eldorado Shreveport and MontBleu did not meet the requirements for presentation as discontinued operations and are included in income from continuing operations in the periods presented.
As a result of the agreement to sell MontBleu, an impairment charge totaling $45 million was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to the carrying value exceeding the estimated net sales proceeds. The impairment charges resulted in a reduction to the carrying amounts of the right-of-use assets, property and equipment, goodwill and other intangibles totaling $18 million, $23 million and $4 million, respectively. See Note 7.
The assets and liabilities held for sale, accounted for at carrying value as it was lower than fair value, were as follows as of September 30, 2020:

(a)We have included $25 million of deferred finance obligation as held for sale liabilities for Bally’s Atlantic City and Louisiana Downs, which represent our preliminary purchase price allocation of the liability which will be derecognized upon completion of those divestitures. We have not included any portion of the deferred finance obligation associated with Horseshoe Hammond or Caesars Southern Indiana as held for sale as we do not yet have any sale agreements in place or know the effect of any possible master lease modification on our deferred finance lease liability.
