Item 8.01.  Other Events

 

On March 30, 2012, the Federated Indians of Granton Rancheria (“FIGR”) and the State of California entered into a tribal-state gaming compact.  The compact must be ratified by the California legislature and approved by the United States Secretary of the Interior prior to becoming effective.  Once effective, it will regulate gaming at the FIGR’s proposed gaming project in Sonoma County, California.  The compact provides for the FIGR to operate up to 3,000 slot machines at the proposed project in return for sharing 15 percent of net proceeds with the State of California, Sonoma County, the City of Rohnert Park and other Native American tribes.  No assurances can be provided as to whether the California legislature will ratify or the Secretary of the Interior will approve the compact.  The timing and feasibility of the project are dependent upon the receipt of the necessary governmental and regulatory approvals and there can be no assurances as to when or if the necessary approvals will be obtained.
