Laughlin Acquisition

On January 14, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Edgewater Gaming, LLC and Colorado Belle Gaming, LLC (the “Laughlin Entities”) from Marnell Gaming, LLC (“Marnell”) for $156.2 million in cash (after giving effect to the post-closing adjustment provisions in the purchase agreement) and the issuance of 911,002 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain assignees of Marnell (the “ Laughlin Acquisition”). The results of operations of the Laughlin Entities are included in the Company’s results subsequent to the acquisition date.

The Laughlin Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), which, among other things, establishes that equity issued to effect the acquisition be measured at the closing date of the transaction at the then-current market price.

 

Under ASC 805, the purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to the identified tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date which are determined in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for business combinations and with the services of third-party valuation consultants. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values was recorded as goodwill and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities (and the related determination of estimated lives of depreciable tangible and identifiable intangible assets) was completed in the fourth quarter of 2019.
