On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted H.R. 1, a new federal tax and spending bill. Many of the tax provisions included in the bill are retroactive and will have a significant favorable impact on the Company’s current year cash tax expense, primarily due to the permanent reinstatements of 100% bonus depreciation rules and a 30% of EBITDA-based interest expense deduction limitation. As a result of this change, the Company will begin utilizing the $91.2 million deferred tax asset related to interest expense previously subject to limitation. The expected reduction in cash paid taxes as a result of these new tax provisions will increase cash flow from operating activities.
On July 14, 2025, the Company announced that it had entered into definitive agreements to acquire 90% of the outstanding equity interests of PPE Casino Resorts NH Holdings, LLC in Salem, New Hampshire ("Casino Salem"), for total consideration of $180.0 million in cash (the "Salem Transaction"), subject to certain working capital and other purchase price adjustments. Casino Salem is located at The Mall at Rockingham Park, which is approximately 30 minutes from downtown Boston. Pursuant to the Salem Transaction, the Company will assume responsibility for the development of a charitable gaming, entertainment and dining destination. The Company will continue to operate Chasers Poker Room in Salem and is still evaluating the impact, if any, to the existing operations.
On July 22, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a common stock repurchase program of up to $500.0 million ("July 2025 Stock Repurchase Program"). The July 2025 Stock Repurchase Program includes and is not in addition to any repurchase authority remaining under the prior 2025 Stock Repurchase Program.
