Sartini, II) for which Mr. Sartini serves as trustee, and 3% beneficially owned by Stephen A. Arcana, and leased three tavern locations, one of which the Company accounts for as a capital lease, from companies controlled by Mr. Sartini through a trust for the benefit of Mr. Sartini’s immediate family members (including Blake L.

The rent expense for the office headquarters building during each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $0.3 million and there was no amount owed by the Company with respect to such lease as of March 31, 2017. The leases for the tavern locations have remaining terms of up to 15 years. The rent expense for the tavern locations during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and no amounts were owed by the Company with respect to such leases as of March 31, 2017. Additionally, a portion of the office headquarters building was sublet to a company owned or controlled by Mr. Sartini through February 28, 2017. Rental income for the sublet portion of the office headquarters building during each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was less than $0.1 million. Mr. Sartini serves as the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and is co-trustee of the Sartini Trust, which is a significant shareholder of the Company. Mr. Arcana serves as the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. As of March 31, 2017, all of these related party lease agreements were in place prior to the consummation of the Merger, other than two lease agreements entered into in 2016. In April 2016, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors approved the Company’s entering into an aircraft timesharing agreement between the Company and Sartini Enterprises, Inc., a company controlled by Mr. Sartini. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will reimburse Sartini Enterprises, Inc. for direct costs and expenses incurred by Company employees traveling on Company business on the private aircraft owned by Sartini Enterprises Inc. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company paid less than $0.1 million, and as of March 31, 2017 the Company owed less than $0.1 million, under the aircraft timesharing agreement. Mr. Sartini’s son, Blake L. Sartini, II (“Mr. Sartini II”), serves as Senior Vice President of Distributed Gaming of the Company. Mr. Sartini II has an employment agreement that was approved by both the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which was amended and restated in March 2017. The amended and restated employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $375,000, of which approximately $79,000 was earned during the three months ended March 31, 2017. Additionally, Mr. Sartini II is eligible for a target annual bonus equal to 50% of his base salary. Mr. Sartini II also participates in the Company's equity award and benefit programs. In 2017, Mr. Sartini II received a grant of 75,000 options to purchase the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $13.50 per share, which stock options will vest over a four-year period (but pursuant to the 2015 Plan such stock options may not be exercised prior to August 1, 2018 except in limited circumstances). One of the distributed gaming locations at which the Company’s gaming devices are located is owned in part by Sean T. Higgins, who serves as the Company’s Chief Legal Officer and Executive Vice President of Development, Compliance and Government Affairs. This arrangement was in place prior to Mr. Higgins joining the Company on March 28, 2016. Net revenues and gaming expenses recorded by the Company from the use of the Company’s gaming devices at this location were each $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017, and an immaterial amount during the three months ended March 31, 2016, as such period predominantly related to the period prior to the commencement of Mr. Higgins’ employment with the Company. No amounts were owed to the Company and no amounts were due and payable by the Company related to this arrangement as of March 31, 2017. Three of the distributed gaming locations at which the Company’s gaming devices are located are owned in part by the spouse of Matthew W.

Net revenues and gaming expenses recorded by the Company from the use of the Company’s gaming devices at these three locations were $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Mr. Flandermeyer ceased to be an employee of the Company and a related party in November 2016. The gaming expenses recorded by the Company represent amounts retained by the counterparty (with respect to the two locations that are subject to participation agreements) or paid to the counterparty (with respect to the location that is subject to a revenue share agreement) from the operation of the gaming devices. All of the agreements were in place prior to the consummation of the Merger. One distributed gaming location at which the Company’s gaming devices are located was owned in part by Terrence L. Wright, who serves on the Board of Directors of the Company, who divested his interest in such distributed gaming location in March 2016. Net revenues and gaming expenses recorded by the Company from the use of the Company’s gaming devices at this location during the period in which the agreement was with a related party were $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. This agreement was in place prior to the consummation of the Merger. In connection with the Merger, Lyle A. Berman, who serves on the Board of the Directors of the Company, entered into a three-year consulting agreement with the Company that pays his wholly owned consulting firm $200,000 annually, plus reimbursements for certain health insurance, administrative assistant and office costs. Expenses recorded by the Company for the agreement with Mr. Berman were $0.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, and no amounts were due and payable by the Company at March 31, 2017.
