Spin-Off of Real Estate Assets through a Real Estate Investment Trust |
Spin-Off of Real Estate Assets through a Real Estate Investment Trust | 2. Spin-Off of Real Estate Assets through a Real Estate Investment Trust On November 15, 2012, the Company announced that it intended to pursue a plan to separate the majority of its operating assets and real property assets into two publicly traded companies including an operating entity, Penn and, through a tax-free spin-off of the Company's real estate assets to holders of its common and preferred stock, a newly formed publicly traded entity that intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") named GLPI (the "Spin-Off"). On November 1, 2013, Penn effected the Spin-Off by distributing one share of common stock of GLPI to the holders of Penn common stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Stock") for every share of Penn common stock and every 1/1000th of a share of Series C Preferred Stock that they held at the close of business on October 16, 2013, the record date for the Spin-Off. See Note 14 for further information on the Series C Preferred Stock. Peter M. Carlino and the PMC Delaware Dynasty Trust dated September 25, 2013, a trust for the benefit of Mr. Carlino's children, also received additional shares of GLPI common stock, in exchange for shares of Penn common stock that they transferred to Penn immediately prior to the Spin-Off, and Mr. Carlino exchanged certain options to acquire Penn common stock for options to acquire GLPI common stock having the same aggregate intrinsic value. Penn engaged in these exchanges with Mr. Carlino and his related trust to ensure that each member of the Carlino family beneficially owns 9.9% or less of the outstanding shares of Penn common stock following the Spin-Off, so that GLPI can qualify to be taxed as a REIT for United States ("U.S.") federal income tax purposes. In addition, the Company contributed to GLPI through a series of internal corporate restructurings substantially all of the assets and liabilities associated with Penn's real property interests and real estate development business, as well as the assets and liabilities of Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge and Hollywood Casino Perryville, which are referred to as the "TRS Properties." The assets and liabilities were contributed to GLPI based on their historical carrying values, which were as follows (in thousands):
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 240,202 |
Current deferred income tax assets |  |  | 6,157 |
Other current assets |  |  | 3,116 |
Property and equipment, net |  |  | 2,114,838 |
Goodwill |  |  | 75,521 |
Other intangible assets |  |  | 9,577 |
Debt issuance costs |  |  | 39,862 |
Other assets |  |  | 36,378 |
Accounts payable and accrued expenses |  |  | (16,055 | )
Income taxes |  |  | (5,296 | )
Other current liabilities |  |  | (12,312 | )
Long-term debt |  |  | (2,350,000 | )
Deferred income tax liabilities |  |  | (10,840 | )
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Net contribution |  | $ | 131,148 |

As a result of the Spin-Off, GLPI owns substantially all of Penn's former real property assets and leases back most of those assets to Penn for use by its subsidiaries, under a "triple net" 15 year Master Lease agreement (the "Master Lease") (that includes four 5 year renewals, which are at Penn's option) as well as owns and operates the TRS Properties through its Taxable REIT Subsidiaries ("TRS"). Penn continues to operate the leased gaming facilities, hold the associated gaming licenses and own and operate other assets, including the Casino Rama casino management contract, the 50% joint venture interest in Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway, seven non-casino racetracks and gaming equipment. The Company incurred transaction costs of $28.8 million, $7.1 million and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, associated with the Spin-Off, which are included in general and administrative expenses within the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service relating to the tax treatment of the separation and the qualification of GLPI as a REIT. The private letter ruling is subject to certain qualifications and based on certain representations and statements made by the Company and certain of its shareholders. If such representations and statements are untrue or incomplete in any material respect (including as a result of a material change in the transaction or other relevant facts), the Company may not be able to rely on the private letter ruling. The Company has received opinions from outside counsel regarding certain aspects of the transaction that are not covered by the private letter ruling.
