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 1, 2013, the Company completed its plan to separate its gaming operating assets from its real property assets by creating a newly formed, publicly traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”), known as Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (“GLPI”), through a tax free spin-off (the “Spin-Off”). 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, and through a series of internal corporate restructurings Penn contributed to GLPI substantially all of the assets and liabilities associated with Penn’s real property interests and real estate development business, as well as all of the assets and liabilities of Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge and Hollywood Casino Perryville, which are referred to as the “TRS Properties.” As a result of the Spin-Off, GLPI owns substantially all of Penn’s former real property assets and leases back those assets (other than the TRS Properties) to Penn for use by its subsidiaries, under a “triple net” master lease agreement (the “Master Lease”) (which has a 15 year initial term that can be extended at Penn’s option for up to four five-year renewal terms), as well as owns and operates the TRS Properties. Penn continues to operate the leased gaming facilities and hold the associated gaming licenses with these facilities.
