Restructuring and Related Activities, Description         New Capital Structure The Restructuring also contemplates that (i) OpCo will issue up to $1.2 billion in principal amount of first lien debt with a six year term and interest at LIBOR plus 4.00% with a 1% LIBOR floor (“New First Lien OpCo Debt”) and up to $547 million in principal amount of second lien debt with a seven year term and interest at 8.5% (“New Second Lien OpCo Debt”) and (ii) PropCo will issue $2.4 billion in principal amount of first lien debt with a five year term and interest at LIBOR plus 3.5% with a 1% LIBOR floor (“New First Lien PropCo Debt”) and $1.4 billion in principal amount of second lien debt with a six year term and interest at 8.0% (“New Second Lien PropCo Debt”). CPLV will issue $2.6 billion in debt, of which no less than $2.0 billion will be sold to third party investors for cash proceeds (“CPLV Market Debt”) and any remaining debt up to $600 million will constitute “CPLV Mezzanine Debt,” with the weighted average yield on the CPLV Market Debt and CPLV Mezzanine Debt capped as set forth in the Term Sheet. PropCo must also offer and issue up to $300 million of preferred equity (the “PropCo Preferred Equity”), the proceeds of which will be used to: (1) reduce the amount of CPLV Debt issued to holders of First Lien Notes, if any; then (2) reduce the amount of CPLV Market Debt required to meet certain conditions, if required; and ultimately (3) reduce the amount of the New Second Lien PropCo Debt. The PropCo Preferred Equity will be entitled to paid-in-kind dividends at a rate equal to the dividend yield to holders of PropCo’s common stock, provided the rate shall not be less than 5% per annum. The offering of the PropCo Preferred Equity will be fully backstopped. Recoveries The Term Sheet from the RSA dated January 14, 2015, contemplates the following approximate recoveries: Each lender under CEOC’s senior secured credit facilities (each, a “First Lien Bank Lender”) will receive its pro rata share of (a) $705 million in cash, (b) $883 million in New First Lien OpCo Debt, (c) $406 million of New Second Lien OpCo Debt, (d) $2.0 billion in New First Lien PropCo Debt, and (e) up to $1.5 billion in additional cash or CPLV Mezzanine Debt. Each First Lien Noteholder will receive its pro rata share of (a) $207 million in cash, (b) $306 million in New First Lien OpCo Debt, (c) $141 million of New Second Lien OpCo Debt, (d) $431 million in New First Lien PropCo Debt, (e) $1.4 billion in New Second Lien PropCo Debt, (f) up to $1.2 billion in additional cash or CPLV Mezzanine Debt, (g) 69.9% directly or indirectly of PropCo equity (or cash as a result of certain put options and equity rights) and (h) 100% of the OpCo equity (or cash as a result of certain put options and equity rights). If they vote as a class to accept the Plan, each Non-First Lien Noteholder (as defined in the Term Sheet) will receive its pro rata share of 30.1% of the equity, directly or indirectly, in PropCo, and have the option to be a participant in certain equity rights. If the Non-First Lien Noteholders do not vote as a class to accept the Plan, each Non-First Lien Noteholder will receive its pro rata share of 17.5% of the equity, directly or indirectly, in PropCo, and the remaining 12.6% of PropCo equity shall be allocated to the equity holders of PropCo, excluding the Non-First Lien Noteholders, based on their pro rata ownership in PropCo. The Term Sheet contemplates the ability of certain of the creditors to elect to receive cash in lieu of the OpCo and PropCo equity and provides certain non-first lien creditors the right to purchase additional PropCo equity in certain circumstances. In order to effectuate the Restructuring, Caesars Entertainment has agreed to, among other things, (i) contribute $406 million for the restructuring and forbearance fees; (ii) contribute an additional $75 million to the Debtors (as defined below) if there is insufficient liquidity at closing of the Restructuring; (iii) purchase up to all of OpCo equity for $700 million and 14.8% of PropCo equity for $269 million; (iv) guarantee OpCo’s monetary obligations to PropCo under the Leases as discussed above; and (v) give PropCo a right of first refusal on all new domestic non-Las Vegas opportunities, with Caesars Entertainment or OpCo leasing such properties. CEOC has proposed a plan of reorganization that provides, among other things, mechanisms for settlement of claims against the debtors’ estates, treatment of CEOC’s existing equity and debt holders, and certain corporate governance and administrative matters pertaining to the reorganized company. The Restructuring contemplated by the RSA is subject to numerous conditions and third party approvals and there can be no assurances that the Restructuring will be completed on the terms contemplated by the RSA and the Term Sheet or at all.    
Deconsolidation, Related Party, Description         CEOC’s bankruptcy filing was a reconsideration event for Caesars Entertainment to reevaluate whether consolidation of CEOC continues to be appropriate. We reevaluated whether CEOC was a VIE, and we concluded that CEOC was a VIE. Generally, when an entity files for bankruptcy, the holders of equity at risk as a group lose the power to make decisions that have a significant impact on the economic performance of the entity because such power is typically transferred to the Bankruptcy Court. We have concluded that this is the case with CEOC and that the equity owners, including Caesars Entertainment, only possess non-substantive voting rights. We have also concluded that Caesars Entertainment is not the primary beneficiary of CEOC, since the Bankruptcy Court now controls its key activities, including determining operating budgets, payment of obligations, and management of assets. CEOC management cannot carry on activities necessary for the ordinary course of business without Bankruptcy Court approval. As a result, we have concluded that Caesars Entertainment should deconsolidate CEOC upon the bankruptcy filing. For similar reasons, we determined that we do not have significant influence over CEOC. As a result, Caesars Entertainment will account for the investment in CEOC as a cost method investment prospectively from the Petition Date.

Bankruptcy Proceedings, Description of Proceedings           To implement the restructuring plan for balance sheet deleveraging, on January 15, 2015 (the “Petition Date”), CEOC and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries (the “Debtors”) voluntarily filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors will continue to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Court. Caesars Entertainment, CERP, and CGP LLC are separate entities with independent capital structures and have not filed for bankruptcy relief. In addition, all Caesars Entertainment properties, including those owned by CEOC, are continuing to operate in the ordinary course.
