Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On February 22, 2013, The Aragon Group (“Aragon”), Summersport Enterprises, LLC (“Summersport” and together with Aragon, the “Sellers”) and Dania Entertainment Center, LLC (the “Buyer” and together with the Sellers, the “Parties”) entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which the Buyer dismissed with prejudice its lawsuit (the “Lawsuit”) filed in November 2011 against the Sellers, following the Sellers' termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into among the Buyer and Sellers on April 29, 2011 (the “Prior Agreement”). The Settlement Agreement also provides for a mutual waiver, release and covenant among the Parties, their affiliates and subsidiaries and the Sellers' parent entities not to sue for all matters related to the Lawsuit and the entering into of a new Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Parties for the sale to the Buyers of certain assets and the transfer of certain liabilities related to Boyd Gaming Corporation's (the “Company”) Dania Jai Alai pari-mutuel facility (“Dania”) located in Dania Beach, Broward County, Florida. In connection with entering into the Settlement Agreement, the Buyers paid the Sellers a $4,000,000 non-refundable deposit (the “Deposit”). Aragon and Summersport are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
The Purchase Agreement requires the Buyers to pay the Sellers $65,500,000 (the “Purchase Price”), subject to certain adjustments based on the amount of cash held by Dania as of the Closing (as defined below). At the Closing, both the Deposit paid pursuant to the Settlement Agreement and the $7 million deposit previously paid by the Buyer in connection with the Prior Agreement, will be credited towards the Purchase Price. The Parties also agreed to indemnify each other against losses incurred or sustained due to actions arising out of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, subject to a capped amount.
The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”) is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including that the representations and warranties given by the Parties are materially true and correct as of the Closing. The Purchase Agreement contains customary termination rights and events, including upon a material breach of the Purchase Agreement. Termination of the Purchase Agreement, however, does not result in the termination or release of the Settlement Agreement.
Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions, the Company currently anticipates that the Closing will occur on or before May 24, 2013.
On February 28, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of the Purchase Agreement and Settlement Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
The representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for the purposes of the agreement as of specific dates and may have been qualified by certain disclosures between the parties and a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders, among other limitations. The representations and warranties were made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement and should not be relied upon as a disclosure of factual information relating to the Company, the Sellers or the Buyer.
