CAESARS GROWTH PARTNERS, LLC
PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(UNAUDITED)
The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information ("Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information") has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the transactions described on Form 8-K filed herewith and are for informational purposes only. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information is based on the historical financial statements of Caesars Growth Partners, LLC ("CGP LLC"), Predecessor Growth Partners (the assets and entities that were acquired by or contributed to CGP LLC) and the Purchased Properties (as defined in Note 1 — Description of Transactions). The unaudited pro forma adjustments in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information are (1) directly attributable to the transactions described above, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the pro forma combined condensed statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined financial results. No effect has been given in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations for synergistic benefits and potential cost savings, if any, that may be realized through the combination of these companies or the costs that may be incurred in integrating their operations. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information does not purport to represent what the actual combined financial results would have been had the transactions occurred as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future and should not be taken as representative of future consolidated results of CGP LLC. All unaudited pro forma adjustments and their underlying assumptions are described more fully in the Notes to Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information.
The transactions described above are transactions between entities under common control. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are presented as if the transactions had occurred at the end of each period. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the period of October 22, 2013 through December 31, 2013, the period of January 1, 2013 through October 21, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012 are presented as if the transactions had occurred on January 1, 2012 and were carried forward through each of the aforementioned periods presented.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto of CGP LLC and Predecessor Growth Partners included in Caesars Acquisition Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014, and the historical financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto of the Purchased Properties included herein on this Current Report Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and as Exhibit 99.2 for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014.

CAESARS GROWTH PARTNERS, LLC
NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(UNAUDITED)

Note 1 — Description of Transactions
On March 1, 2014, Caesars Acquisition Company (the "Company," "CAC," "we," "our" and "us") entered into a Transaction Agreement (the "Agreement") by and among, Caesars Entertainment Corporation ("CEC"), Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. ("CEOC"), Caesars License Company, LLC ("CLC"), Harrah’s New Orleans Management Company ("HNOMC"), Corner Investment Company, LLC ("CIC"), 3535 LV Corp. ("3535 LV"), Parball Corporation ("Parball"), JCC Holding Company II, LLC ("JCC Holding"), CAC and Caesars Growth Partners, LLC ("CGP LLC"). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, CGP LLC (or one or more of its designated direct or indirect subsidiaries) agreed to acquire from CEOC or one or more of its affiliates, (i) Cromwell (f/k/a Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon), The Quad, Bally’s Las Vegas and Harrah’s New Orleans (each a "Property" and collectively, the "Purchased Properties"), (ii) 50% of the ongoing management fees and any termination fees payable under the Property Management Agreements to be entered between a property manager and the owners of each of the Purchased Properties (the "Property Management Agreements"), and (iii) certain intellectual property that is specific to each of the Purchased Properties (together with the transactions described in (i) and (ii) above, the "Asset Purchase Transaction") for an aggregate purchase price of $2.0 billion, less outstanding debt to be assumed in the Asset Purchase Transaction, subject to various pre-closing and post-closing adjustments in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
On May 5, 2014, CAC and CGP LLC entered into a First Amendment to Transaction Agreement (the "Amendment") by and among CEC, CEOC, CLC, HNOMC, CIC, 3535 LV, Parball and JCC Holding pursuant to which the parties to such agreement amended the Agreement (the Agreement, as so amended by the Amendment, the "Amended Agreement"). Pursuant to the Amended Agreement, Caesars Growth Properties Holdings, LLC (“CGPH”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of CGP LLC, acquired Cromwell, The Quad, and Bally's Las Vegas, 50% of the ongoing management fees and any termination fees payable under the Property Management Agreements for Cromwell, The Quad, and Bally's Las Vegas, and certain intellectual property that is specific to Cromwell, The Quad, and Bally's Las Vegas (collectively referred to as the "First Closing").
On May 20, 2014, CGPH acquired from CEOC (or one or more of its affiliates) (i) Harrah’s New Orleans (the "Louisiana Property"), (ii) 50% of the ongoing management fees and any termination fees payable under the Property Management Agreement attributable to Harrah's New Orleans; and (iii) certain intellectual property that is specific to the Louisiana Property (together with the transactions described in (i) and (ii) above, the "Second Closing").
In addition, in May 2014, CGP LLC contributed the equity interests of PHWLV, LLC, which holds Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, and the 50% interest in the management fee revenues of PHW Manager, LLC to CGPH. CGPH paid in full approximately $455.4 million outstanding under the senior secured term loan of PHWLV, LLC (the “PHW Credit Facility”).
The transactions described above are transactions between entities under common control.
The purchase price of the First Closing was funded by CGP LLC with cash on hand and the proceeds of $700.0 million of term loans (the "First Closing Term Loan"). CGPH closed on the First Closing Term Loan on May 5, 2014. This loan was repaid in full on May 20, 2014, in connection with the Second Closing.
CGPH and Caesars Growth Properties Finance, Inc. (together, the "Issuers"), issued $675.0 million aggregate principal amount of their 9.375% second-priority senior secured notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes") pursuant to an indenture dated as of April 17, 2014, among the Issuers and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Indenture"). The Issuers deposited the gross proceeds of the offering of the 2022 Notes, together with additional amounts necessary to redeem the 2022 Notes, if applicable, into a segregated escrow account until the date that certain escrow conditions were satisfied. On May 8, 2014, CGPH closed on $1.175 billion of term loans (the "Term Loan") pursuant to a credit agreement. The credit agreement also provided for a $150.0 million revolving credit agreement (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), which was undrawn at the closing of the Term Loan. Pursuant to an escrow agreement, dated as of May 8, 2014, CGPH deposited the gross proceeds of the Term Loan, together with additional amounts necessary to repay the Term Loan, if applicable, into a segregated escrow account until the date that certain escrow conditions were satisfied. In connection with the Second Closing, proceeds of the 2022 Notes and Term Loan were released from escrow.    
CGPH used the proceeds from the borrowing under the Term Loan Facility and the issuance of the 2022 Notes, together with the cash contributed to CGPH from CGP LLC, to fund the Asset Purchase Transaction, to pay in full the PHW Credit Facility and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the transactions.

____________________________________
(1) 
Borrowings under the First Closing Term Loan in the amount of $700.0 million were fully paid in connection with the Second Closing.  
(2) 
Fees related to the First Closing Term Loan are considered material, nonrecurring charges which result directly from the Asset Purchase Transaction and therefore, were not included as a pro forma adjustment in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Income Statements.
(3) 
Non-debt related fees resulting directly from the Asset Purchase Transaction are considered material, nonrecurring charges and were not included as a pro forma adjustment in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Income Statements.
(B)
CGP LLC does not record a tax provision for its Casino Properties and Developments segment as all entities within this segment are pass-through entities for income tax purposes; therefore, the deferred tax asset ("DTA") and the deferred tax liability ("DTL"), were reversed. See (F) below for further information.
(C)
The PHW Credit Facility required PHWLV, LLC to maintain certain reserve funds which were deemed restricted and were included in restricted cash. In connection with the Second Closing in May 2014, CGPH repaid the PHW Credit Facility and the related restrictions on cash at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino were released. The following table summarizes balances related to the PHW Credit Facility and a reconciliation to the payment in full, including the loss on extinguishment of debt.
