ACQUISITIONS

Chasers Poker Room

On September 2, 2022, the Company completed the Chasers Transaction which was treated as an asset acquisition. The Company made an initial payment at closing and recorded a liability for the remaining due at a future date. In conjunction with the acquisition the Company recorded an $82.2 million gaming rights intangible asset which represented its fair value at the date of acquisition.

The fair value of the gaming rights acquired in the Chasers Transaction was determined using the Greenfield Method, which is an income approach methodology that calculates the present value of the gaming rights intangible asset based on a projected cash flow stream. This method assumes that the gaming rights intangible asset provides the opportunity to develop a gaming facility in a specified region, and that the present value of the projected cash flows is a result of the realization of advantages contained in these rights. Under this methodology, the acquirer is expected to absorb all start-up costs, as well as incur all expenses pertaining to the acquisition and/or the creation of all tangible and intangible assets. The estimated future revenue, future operating expenses, start-up costs, and discount rate were the primary inputs in the valuation. The gaming rights intangible asset was assigned an indefinite useful life based on the Company's expected use of the asset and determination that no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors limit the useful life of the gaming rights.

Ellis Park

On September 26, 2022, the Company completed the Ellis Park Transaction for total consideration of $79.0 million in cash, plus $3.5 million in working capital and other preliminary purchase price adjustments. The fair values of the Ellis Park Transaction were based upon preliminary valuations. Estimates and assumptions used in such valuations are subject to change, which could be significant, within the measurement period up to one year from the acquisition date. The areas of the preliminary valuations that are not yet finalized relate to the amounts for income taxes, intangible assets, working capital adjustments, and the final amount of residual goodwill. The Company expects to continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair values of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period. The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net of cash acquired of $0.8 million, at the date of acquisition were as follows: property and equipment of $19.3 million, indefinite-lived gaming rights of $47.4 million, indefinite-lived trademark of $3.6 million, goodwill of $8.9 million, right-of-use assets and liabilities of $6.0 million and net working capital of $2.5 million.

The Company has not included other disclosures regarding the Chasers Transaction or Ellis Park Transaction because the acquisitions are immaterial to our business.
