ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Lattner Entertainment Group Illinois

On June 1, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Lattner Entertainment Group Illinois, LLC ("Lattner"), a distributed gaming operator headquartered in Ottawa, Illinois, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Lattner Merger Agreement") dated as of May 1, 2018, by and among Boyd, Boyd TCVI Acquisition, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Boyd ("Boyd TCVI"), Lattner, and Lattner Capital, LLC, solely in its capacity as the representative of the equity holders of Lattner.

Pursuant to the Lattner Merger Agreement, Boyd TCVI merged with and into Lattner (the "Lattner Merger"), with Lattner surviving the Lattner Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Boyd. Lattner currently operates nearly 1,000 gaming units in approximately 220 locations across the state of Illinois and is aggregated into our Midwest & South segment (See Note 11, Segment Information). The net purchase price was $100.7 million.

Consideration Transferred

The fair value of the consideration transferred on the acquisition date included the purchase price of the net assets transferred. The total gross consideration was $110.5 million.

Status of Purchase Price Allocation

The Company is following the acquisition method of accounting per ASC 805 guidance. For purposes of these condensed consolidated financial statements, we have allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimates of fair value as determined by management based on its judgment. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. The Company will recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition based on fair value estimates as of the date of the Lattner Merger. The determination of the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities (and the related determination of estimated lives of depreciable tangible and identifiable intangible assets) is currently in process. This determination requires significant judgment. As such, management has not completed its valuation analysis and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to finalize the determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, along with the related allocations of goodwill and intangible assets. The final fair value determinations are expected to be completed by the end of the year. The final fair value determinations may be significantly different than those reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2018.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price:



(In thousands)	As Recorded
Current assets	$	9,889
Property and equipment	9,063
Intangible and other assets	4,033
Total acquired assets	22,985

Current liabilities	1,062
Total liabilities assumed	1,062
Net identifiable assets acquired	21,923
Goodwill	88,615
Net assets acquired	$	110,538

The following table summarizes the preliminary values assigned to acquired property and equipment and estimated useful lives:



(In thousands)	Useful Lives	As Recorded
Buildings and improvements	10 - 45 years	$	14
Furniture and equipment	3 - 7 years	9,049
Property and equipment acquired		$	9,063

The goodwill recognized is the excess of the purchase price over the preliminary values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Midwest & South reportable segment. All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company recognized $0.5 million of acquisition related costs that were expensed for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. These costs are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the line item entitled "Project development, preopening and writedowns".

Pending Acquisitions

On December 18, 2017, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement with Penn National Gaming, Inc. ("Penn National," and such agreement, the "Penn National Purchase Agreement"), to acquire the operations of four properties, which include Ameristar St. Charles and Ameristar Kansas City, both in Missouri, along with Belterra Casino Resort in Florence, Indiana, and Belterra Park in Cincinnati, Ohio, for total net cash consideration of $575.0 million, subject to adjustments based on (a) the adjusted 2017 EBITDA of each property (as determined per the agreement), and (b) working capital, cash and indebtedness of the combined properties at closing and transaction expenses (the "Penn National Purchase").

On December 20, 2017, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement with Valley Forge Convention Center Partners, L.P. (the "Valley Forge Merger Agreement"), to acquire Valley Forge Casino Resort ("Valley Forge") in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, for total cash consideration of $280.5 million, subject to adjustment based on working capital, cash and indebtedness of Valley Forge at closing and transaction expenses (the "Valley Forge Merger").

The completion of the Penn National Purchase and the Valley Forge Merger are each subject to customary conditions and the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including, among others, approval by the required state gaming commissions and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. In addition, the Penn National Purchase is also contingent upon the successful completion of Penn National’s proposed acquisition of Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the respective conditions in each of the Penn National Purchase Agreement and the Valley Forge Merger Agreement, we currently expect each of the transactions to close during the second half of 2018.

Investment in and Divestiture of Borgata

On August 1, 2016, Boyd Gaming completed the sale of its 50% equity interest in MDDHC, the parent company of Borgata in Atlantic City, New Jersey, to MGM pursuant to the Purchase Agreement entered into on May 31, 2016, as amended on July 19, 2016, by and among the Company, Boyd Atlantic City, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and MGM (the "Transaction").

Prior to the sale of our equity interest, the Company and MGM each held a 50% interest in MDDHC, which owned all the equity interests in Borgata. Until the closing of the sale, we were the managing member of MDDHC, and we were responsible for the day-to-day operations of Borgata. Following the Transaction, MDDHC became a wholly owned subsidiary of MGM.

In consideration for the Transaction, MGM paid Boyd Gaming $900 million. The initial net cash proceeds were approximately $589 million, net of certain expenses and adjustments on the closing date, including outstanding indebtedness, cash and working capital. These initial proceeds did not include our 50% share of any future property tax settlement benefits related to the time period during which we held a 50% ownership in MDDHC to which Boyd Gaming retained the right to receive upon payment. On February 15, 2017, Borgata entered into a settlement agreement with Atlantic City, the terms of which provided for $72 million to be paid to Borgata to resolve the remaining property tax issues. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $35.6 million and $36.2 million, respectively, in income for the cash we received for our share of property tax benefits realized by Borgata subsequent to the closing of the sale. These payments, net of tax of $14.6 million and $14.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, are included in discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $0.3 million in income, net of tax, for the cash we received for our share of miscellaneous recoveries realized by Borgata during that period. This payment is included in discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
