Margaritaville Resort Casino

On January 1, 2019, the Company acquired the operations of Margaritaville Resort Casino for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $115 million pursuant to (i) an agreement and plan of merger (the “Margaritaville Merger Agreement”) among VICI, Riverview Merger Sub Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of VICI (“Merger Sub”), Penn Tenant II, LLC (“Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company, Bossier Casino Venture (HoldCo), Inc. (“Holdco”) and Silver Slipper Gaming, LLC and (ii) a membership interest purchase agreement (the “MIPA”) among VICI, Merger Sub, Buyer and the Company.

Pursuant to the Margaritaville Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Holdco with Holdco surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of VICI (the “Merger”) and owner of the land and real estate assets relating to Margaritaville Resort Casino. Pursuant to the MIPA, immediately following the consummation of the Merger, HoldCo sold the limited liability company interests in Holdco’s sole direct subsidiary, BCV (Intermediate) LLC, owner of the Margaritaville Resort Casino operating assets, to the Buyer. On the closing date, Buyer and VICI entered into a triple net lease agreement for the Margaritaville Resort Casino facility having an initial annual rent of $23.2 million and an initial term of 15 years, with four 5-year renewal options. The acquisition was financed through incremental borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility.

Due to the recent acquisition date of Margaritaville Resort Casino, the Company has not yet finalized its valuation analysis and is in the process of evaluating key assumptions that derive the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the income tax balances. Therefore, we are unable to provide the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
