Sale of Substantially All Assets and Termination of Business

On February 20, 2015, the Company entered into, and simultaneously closed, the Purchase Agreement with Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, a local governmental entity of the State of Nevada. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Buyer purchased certain assets of the Company, including the real property located at 2901 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109 and all structures and improvements located on the property, and certain other assets for a total purchase price of up to $182.5 million.

The Purchase Agreement generally provides that the Company will terminate its business operations within 180 days of the close of the Transaction. The Company will be responsible for the Business Closure, and the Buyer will take possession of the Property once there are only minimal assets remaining on the premises. A portion of the Purchase Price has been deposited with a third-party escrow agent under an Escrow Agreement. Part of the escrowed amounts will be released to the Company upon completion of the Business Closure, while a larger portion will be available to pay the costs of the Business Closure, as discussed more fully in the Purchase Agreement.

In order to provide the Company with access to the Property and time to complete the Business Closure, at the close of the Transaction, ROC and the Buyer entered into a Lease Agreement, pursuant to which ROC leases the Property from the Buyer for the sole purpose of winding down operations. The Lease will be in effect for the duration of the Business Closure and will expire automatically when the Business Closure is complete. In addition, the Company has guaranteed the payment and performance of ROC’s obligations under the Lease by executing a Lease Guaranty concurrently with ROC’s execution of the Lease and the closing of the Transaction.

The Company entered into a Business Closure Agreement with Paragon Riviera LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, on February 20, 2015. Paragon previously managed the operations of the Company pursuant to the Management Agreement (defined below). Pursuant to the Closure Agreement, Paragon will conduct operations for and on behalf of ROC and will effect the Business Closure. Paragon will receive a monthly fee in connection with the Closure Agreement. The Company and Paragon were previously parties to the Resort Management Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2013, pursuant to which Paragon provided oversight of the executive level management at the Company and provided financial, marketing, business and organizational strategy services. The term of the Management Agreement was two years from the date of execution, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms and conditions. The Management Agreement was terminated prior to its expiration date upon the closing of the Transaction and the execution of the Closure Agreement. Paragon will receive certain fees in connection with the termination of the Management Agreement.

Promptly after the closing of the Transaction, the Company repaid all outstanding indebtedness owed under (i) the Series A Credit Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2011, by and among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, and (ii) the Series B Credit Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2011, by and among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The terms of the Series A Credit Agreement and the Series B Credit Agreement are described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.

On March 11, 2015, the Company announced the expected closure date of the Riviera Hotel & Casino as May 4, 2015 at noon.

Assets Held For Sale
    
ASC 360-10-45-9 requires that a long-lived asset (disposal group) to be sold shall be classified as held for sale in the period in which a set of criteria have been met, including criteria that the sale of the asset (disposal group) is probable and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. As there were substantive outstanding issues under negotiation among the parties to the Purchase Agreement near the closing date, all criteria were determined to be in place on February 12, 2015. Under ASC 360-10-45-13, as the criteria under ASC 360-10-45-9 were met after December 31, 2014, but before the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued, a long-lived asset shall continue to be classified as held and used in those financial statements when issued or when available to be issued.

On February 13, 2015, one holder of our Class B Warrants exercised its Class B Warrant at the individual warrant exercise price of $0.01 (total stated aggregate exercise price of $0.01) and we issued to the holder 43,150 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock as a result.
