CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED AND BIG FISH GAMES, INC. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED COMBINED

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On December 16, 2014, Churchill Downs Incorporated, a Kentucky corporation (“CDI”) completed the Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Big Fish Games, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Big Fish”) and Ocean Acquisition Corp., a Washington corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of CDI (“Merger Corp”). The Merger Agreement provides, among other things that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Corp will merge with and into Big Fish, with Big Fish surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDI (the “Merger”).

In the Merger, each outstanding share of capital stock, no par value per share, of Big Fish (“Big Fish Capital Stock”) was converted into the right to receive a pro rata share of $485 million (“Purchase Price”), subject to working capital and other adjustments. Each outstanding option to acquire shares of Big Fish, along with outstanding warrants and restricted stock units was canceled in connection with the Merger, and holders of such interests received the same consideration as those holding Big Fish Capital Stock (with both holders collectively being “Equity Holders”), less applicable exercise prices of the warrants and options. Equity Holders may also receive a pro rata share of up to $350 million (“Earnout Consideration”)(with Purchase Price and Earnout Consideration, collectively referred to hereafter as “Merger Consideration”) to be paid subject to the achievement of a 2015 Adjusted EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, foreign exchange (gains) or losses, share-based compensation expense and acquisition-related adjustments resulting from business combination accounting rules that would not exist if the acquisition did not take place) threshold. The “Related Financing Transactions” refers to the borrowing by CDI of $200 million under the Term Loan Facility (as defined below) and other borrowings under CDI’s existing Senior Secured Credit Facility to pay the cash consideration in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 give effect to the Merger and the Related Financing Transactions as if they had occurred on the first day of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the Merger and the Related Financing Transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2014.

The historical consolidated financial information of CDI and Big Fish has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the Merger, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statements of comprehensive income, expect to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on various assumptions, including assumptions related to the consideration paid and the allocation thereof to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Big Fish based on preliminary estimates of fair value. The pro forma assumptions and adjustments are described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information were based on and should be read in conjunction with the following historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of CDI and Big Fish for the applicable periods:

 

    Consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of CDI as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in CDI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 that the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 26, 2014;

 

    Consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of Big Fish as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in Exhibit 99.1 of this Form 8-K/A;

 

    Consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of CDI as of September 30, 2014 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 included in CDI’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that the Company filed with the SEC on October 29, 2014; and

 

    Consolidated unaudited financial statements and related notes thereto of Big Fish as of September 30, 2014 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 included in Exhibit 99.2 of this Form 8-K/A.


The pro forma adjustments have been made solely for purposes of developing the pro forma financial information for illustrative purposes necessary to comply with the requirements of the SEC. The actual results reported by the combined company in periods following the Merger may differ significantly from that reflected in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for a number of reasons, including but not limited to cost savings from operating efficiencies, synergies and the impact of the incremental costs incurred in integrating the two companies. As a result, the pro forma condensed combined financial information is not intended to represent and does not purport to be what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Merger and the Related Financing Transactions been completed on the applicable dates of this pro forma condensed combined financial information. In addition, the pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. The final purchase price and the allocations thereof may differ from that reflected in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements after final valuation procedures are performed and amounts are finalized following completion of the Merger.

CDI funded the cash portion of the acquisition with borrowings under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) and the addition of a $200 million Term Loan Facility (“Term Loan”) to the existing Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Senior Secured Credit Facility was amended on December 1, 2014 and the Term Loan matures on December 1, 2019 provided however, in the event the Senior Secured Credit Facility has not, prior to May 17, 2018, been extended to a maturity date of December 1, 2019, the Term Loan matures on May 17, 2018. The interest rate under the Term Loan is equal to a LIBOR-based rate per annum plus the applicable margin ranging from 1.125% to 3.0% depending on CDI’s total leverage ratio.

Under the Senior Secured Credit Facility in place as of September 30, 2014, the maximum aggregate commitment was $500 million and amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2014 totaled $83.4 million. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also provides for an accordion feature which, if exercised, could increase the maximum aggregate commitment by up to an additional $225 million and reduce the pricing schedule for outstanding borrowings and commitment fees across all leverage pricing levels. Generally, borrowings made pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest at a LIBOR-based rate per annum plus the applicable margin ranging from 1.125% to 3.0% depending on CDI’s total leverage ratio. In addition, under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, CDI agrees to pay a commitment fee at rates that range from 0.175% to 0.45% of the available aggregate commitment, depending on CDI’s leverage ratio.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and was based on the historical audited financial statements of CDI and Big Fish for the year ended December 31, 2013 and unaudited financial statements of CDI and Big Fish as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes the results of operations from January 1, 2013 to July 16, 2013 related to CDI’s acquisition of Oxford Casino (“Oxford) on July 17, 2013. Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical financial statements of Big Fish and Oxford to conform to CDI’s presentation, including the condensing of Big Fish’s prepaid balances into one line item. Furthermore, royalties payable and stock appreciation rights liability have been reclassified to accounts payable and other liabilities, respectively. Finally, certain Big Fish accounts payable amounts were reclassified to accrued expenses. In addition, Oxford and Big Fish revenues and operating expenses have been reclassified to conform to CDI’s presentation. The following adjustments have been made to Big Fish’s cost of revenues, sales and marketing, research and development, game operations and general and administrative expense:

(2) Sales and marketing recorded by Big Fish has been reclassified to operating expenses for consistent presentation in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of comprehensive income.
(3) Game operations recorded by Big Fish has been reclassified to operating expenses for consistent presentation in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of comprehensive income.
(4) Depreciation expense, recorded in general and administrative in Big Fish’s historical financial statements, has been reclassified to operating expenses for consistent presentation in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of comprehensive income.
(5) Bonus expense recorded in sales and marketing, research and development and game operations in Big Fish’s historical financial statements has been reclassified to selling, general and administrative expenses for consistent presentation in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of comprehensive income.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 give effect to the Merger and the Related Financing Transactions as if they had occurred on the first day of the earliest period presented. The unaudited condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 gives effect to the Merger and the Related Financing Transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2014.

The acquisition method of accounting is based on authoritative guidance for business combinations and uses the fair value concepts defined in authoritative guidance. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under these existing U.S. GAAP standards.

The authoritative guidance for business combinations requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date if fair value can reasonably be estimated. If the fair value of an asset or liability that arises from a contingency cannot be determined, the asset or liability is recognized if it is probable that an asset existed or a liability has been incurred at the acquisition date and the amount of such asset or liability can be reasonably determined. In addition, the guidance establishes that the consideration transferred be measured at the closing date of the acquisition at the then-current market price


Fair value is defined in the authoritative guidance as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (or the most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.

The pro forma adjustments described below have been developed based on assumptions and estimates, including assumptions relating to the consideration to be paid and the allocation thereof to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Big Fish based on preliminary estimates of fair value. The final purchase price and the allocation thereof will differ from that reflected in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements after final valuation procedures are performed and amounts are finalized.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated financial position of CDI would have been had the Merger and the Related Financing Transactions occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations or financial position.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect any cost savings from operating efficiencies, synergies or other restructurings that could result from the Merger.

CDI has been determined to be the acquirer under the acquisition method of accounting based on various considerations. CDI paid cash and issued common stock as the merger consideration. Further, the Board of Directors and senior management of the combined company will be comprised primarily of current CDI board members and senior management, respectively.

CDI performed a review of Big Fish’s accounting policies to determine whether any adjustments were necessary to ensure comparability in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements. At this time, CDI is not aware of any differences that would have a material impact on the pro forma condensed combined financial statements. CDI will perform a more detailed review of Big Fish’s accounting policies and, as a result of that review, differences may be identified between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined financial statements.


Note 2 — Purchase Price

The total consideration for the transaction on the closing date of December 16, 2014 is $838.3 million, composed of $401.7 million in cash, a deferred payment to the Founder of Big Fish (“Founder”) of $85.3 million, payable over three years and recorded at fair value of $78.0 million as of the closing date, an estimated payable related to an income tax refund of $18.1 million, $15.8 million payable in 157,115 shares of the common stock of CDI and a contingent earn-out payment recorded at fair value of $324.7 million related to the fair value of the earn-out consideration. The purchase price for the business combination is as follows:

(3) See Note (C) in Note 4 – Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet.
(4) The value of the common stock issued to the Founder was determined by dividing 10% of the merger consideration paid to the Founder by $100.52 (as stated in the Merger Agreement) rounded to the nearest whole share.
(5) The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated at December 16. 2014 using a discounted cash flow analysis. See Note (L) in Note 4 – Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet.

Note 3 — Pro Forma Purchase Price Allocation

CDI allocated the purchase price paid to the fair value of the Big Fish assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The pro forma purchase price allocation below has been developed based on preliminary estimates of fair value using the historical financial statements of Big Fish as of September 30, 2014. In addition, the allocation of the purchase price to acquired intangible assets is based on preliminary fair value estimates utilizing management assumptions, and reasonable and supportable assumptions.

The fair values recorded were based upon a preliminary valuation. Estimates and assumptions used in such valuation are subject to change, which could be significant, within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of the preliminary valuation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair values of amounts for income taxes, adjustments to working capital, and the final amount of residual goodwill. CDI expects to continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair values of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period.


The estimated intangible assets are comprised of a trade name with an indefinite useful life. Definite lived intangible assets consist of customer relationships with a weighted average estimated useful life of three years, developed technology, with a weighted average estimated useful life of four years, in-process research and development, with a weighted average estimated useful life of five years and strategic developer relationships, with a weighted average useful life of six years. The residual amount of the purchase price after allocation to tangible net assets and identifiable intangibles has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill will not be deducted for income tax purposes. The pro forma purchase price allocation reconciled to the estimated purchase price is as follows:

(1) See Note (E) below
(2) The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet assumes that the estimated remaining acquisition costs of $23.1 million will be paid in conjunction with the closing of the merger.

In connection with the Merger, on December 1, 2014, CDI amended its Senior Secured Credit Facility and added a five-year $200 million Term Loan to the existing Senior Secured Credit Facility. The balance of the financing for the Merger will be funded by CDI’s existing Senior Secured Credit Facility.

(B) The adjustments reflect a reduction of $4.7 million to current deferred tax assets, a reduction of $9.1 million to non-current deferred tax assets, an increase of $3.3 million in current deferred income tax liabilities, and an increase of $92.9 million to non-current deferred tax liabilities associated with the recording of new identifiable intangible assets for the Merger. These amounts were calculated using a tax rate of 36.04%, which represents the federal and state tax rate of Big Fish. In addition, other tax liabilities decreased by $25 thousand related to reducing research and development state tax credits by the federal tax benefit. Finally, the increase in other receivable of $1.1 million is an indemnification asset related to Big Fish’s uncertain tax positions.


(C) Represents estimated income tax receivable to be received by CDI for the 2013 tax year and for the tax period of January 1, 2014 to December 16, 2014. This amount will be paid to the Equity Holders when it is received by CDI.

Long-term debt portion

$ 50,847   

 

(1) On December 16, 2014, CDI withheld an amount equal to 54% of the initial merger consideration payable to the Founder. Interest will accrue and will be paid annually, on the unpaid balance, at a rate of .34% per year which is equal to the short-term applicable Federal rate (“AFR”) determined under Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code. On each of the first three anniversary dates of the closing date of the Merger, CDI will pay an amount equal to 33 1/3% of the amount withheld including interest to the Founder. CDI estimated the fair value of the deferred payment using a discounted cash flows analysis over the period in which the obligation is expected to be settled, and applied a discount rate based on CDI’s cost of debt. The cost of debt as of the closing date was based on the observed market yields of CDI’s Senior Unsecured Notes issued in December of 2013 and was adjusted for the difference in seniority and term of the deferred payment obligation.

(1) The cash portion of the acquisition was funded with borrowings under CDI’s Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Senior Secured Credit Facility was amended on December 1, 2014 to add a $200 million Term Loan. The Term Loan matures on December 1, 2019 provided however, in the event the Senior Secured Credit Facility has not, prior to May 17, 2018, been extended to a maturity date of December 1, 2019, the Term Loan matures on May 17, 2018. The interest rate under the Term Loan is equal to a LIBOR-based rate per annum plus the applicable margin ranging from 1.125% to 3.0% depending on CDI’s total leverage ratio. For each 1/8th percent fluctuation in the interest rate under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and Term Loan, there could be an annual increase or decrease in interest expense of approximately $0.9 million. CDI incurred $0.9 million of loan origination fees associated with the amended Senior Secured Credit Facility and Term Loan.

(K) To record the historical carrying amount of Big Fish’s deferred revenue to its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value represents the estimated cost plus an assumed profit margin to fulfill all obligations associated with the deferred revenue assumed in the acquisition.

(L) To record the fair value of the earnout consideration that is contingent upon the achievements of certain performance milestones through December 31, 2015 and is limited to a maximum of $350 million based on Big Fish’s achievement of Adjusted EBITDA. The estimated fair value of the earnout consideration at the acquisition date was $324.7 million. CDI estimated the fair value of the earnout consideration using a discounted cash flows analysis over the period in which the obligation is expected to be settled, and applied a discount rate based on CDI’s cost of debt. The cost of debt as of the closing date was based on the observed market yields of CDI’s Senior Unsecured Notes issued in December of 2013 and was adjusted for the difference in seniority and term of the earn-out consideration.

(1) For details regarding borrowings used to finance the Merger, see note (J) in Note 4-Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet. Additional interest expense related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility and Term Loan consists of (1) interest expense related to new borrowings used to finance the Merger, (2) incremental interest expense resulting from incremental borrowing rates related to the applicable margin based on CDI’s leverage ratios and (3) reduction in interest expense resulting from a decrease in non-usage fees that would have been realized under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The pro forma adjustment for incremental amortization of loan origination fees relates to the amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility and Term Loan.

(F) The pro forma adjustment to the income tax provision represents the tax effect of adjustments to earnings (loss) from continuing operations before provision for income taxes related to the increased amortization and depreciation expense resulting from fair value adjustments for acquired intangible assets and property and equipment and additional interest expense related to borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and Term Loan to finance the merger. CDI has assumed a 36.50% blended income tax rate representing the estimated combined U.S. federal and state statutory rates in effect during the periods for which pro forma condensed combined statements of comprehensive income have been presented.

(G) The pro forma adjustment reflects the issuance of 157,115 shares on the closing date for 10% of the purchase price payable to the Founder.
