Item 2.04. Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

On May 7, 2015 Boyd Gaming Corporation (the “Company”) sent a notice of redemption to the trustee for the 9.125% Notes to conditionally call for redemption on June 8, 2015 (the “Redemption Date”) all of the 9.125% senior notes due 2018 (CUSIP No. 103304 BG5) (the “9.125% Notes”) then outstanding. The 9.125% Notes were issued and the redemption will be effected pursuant to the provisions of an indenture dated as of November 10, 2010 by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “9.125% Notes Indenture”). The 9.125% Notes Indenture is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 4.2 of the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 12, 2010 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The redemption is conditioned upon the trustee’s receipt of funds in an amount sufficient to fund the repayment of all 9.125% Notes outstanding on the Redemption Date. In the event that such condition has not been satisfied as of the Redemption Date, the Company may extend the date of redemption one or more times to a date not later than July 6, 2015.

To the extent the condition to the redemption is satisfied, the 9.125% Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price of 104.563% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest (as defined in the 9.125% Notes Indenture), if any, to the Redemption Date. As of May 7, 2015, there was $500 million in aggregate principal amount of the 9.125% Notes outstanding. On the Redemption Date, assuming that the condition is satisfied or waived by the Company, the redemption price will become due and payable upon each 9.125% Note to be redeemed that was not accepted for purchase pursuant to the terms of the tender offer and solicitation (described below in Item 8.01). Pursuant to the terms of the 9.125% Notes Indenture, interest on the 9.125% Notes will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date and the only remaining right of the holders of the 9.125% Notes will be to receive payment of the redemption price, including accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, upon surrender of the 9.125% Notes to the trustee.

A press release issued by the Company announcing that it has called the redemption of the 9.125% Notes, as well as the tender offer described below, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Notes Offering

On May 7, 2015, the Company announced in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference that it commenced and has priced a public offering (the “New Notes Offering”) of $750 million aggregate principal amount of its senior notes due 2023 (the “New Notes”). The New Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s current and future domestic restricted subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). In connection with the offering of the New Notes, the Company and the Guarantors entered into an Underwriting Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1, with a group of underwriters for which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as representative. In addition, the Company and the Guarantors will enter into a base Indenture with respect to Senior Debt Securities, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, with Wilmington Trust, N.A. as trustee under the Indenture and a supplemental Indenture in a form to be determined to establish certain terms of the New Notes and guarantees thereof.


Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation

On May 7, 2015, the Company also announced that it has commenced a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of its outstanding 9.125% Notes (as defined above in Item 2.04). The Company also announced a concurrent consent solicitation for proposed amendments to the 9.125% Notes Indenture. The proposed amendments would eliminate certain restrictive covenants from the 9.125% Notes Indenture.

The consummation of the tender offer for the 9.125% Notes and the consent solicitation are subject to the receipt by the Company of at least $500 million of gross proceeds from the offering of the New Notes, as described above, on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company, among the satisfaction of other conditions. The Company’s press release announcing the commencement of the tender offer and consent solicitation, as well as the conditional call for redemption described above, is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to our notice of redemption (described above in Item 2.04), upon the satisfaction of the applicable condition to the redemption, we will redeem the 9.125% senior notes that remain outstanding after completion or termination of the tender offer.

This disclosure is for information purposes only and is not an offer to purchase, a solicitation of acceptance of the offer to purchase or a solicitation of a consent with respect to any of the 9.125% Notes. The tender offer and the consent solicitation are being made pursuant to the tender offer and consent solicitation documents, which the Company is distributing to holders of 9.125% Notes. The tender offer and the consent solicitation are not being made to holders of the 9.125% Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.
