Introductory Note

On November 24, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), Eldorado Resorts, Inc. (“ERI”), completed its previously announced acquisition (the “Circus Reno/Silver Legacy Purchase”) of  (i) all of the assets and properties of Circus Circus Hotel and Casino-Reno (“Circus Reno”) and (ii) the 50% membership interest in Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture, LLC (the “Silver  Legacy”) owned by Galleon, Inc.  As a result of the Circus Reno/Silver Legacy Purchase and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Retained Interest Agreement (as defined herein), Silver Legacy became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ERI.

Item 2.01.             Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On the Closing Date, ERI completed the Circus Reno/Silver Legacy Purchase  pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of July 7, 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Eldorado Limited Liability Company (“ELLC”) and CC-Reno LLC, each a subsidiary of ERI, on the one hand, and Circus Circus Casinos, Inc. and Galleon, Inc., subsidiaries of MGM Resorts International, on the other hand.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the aggregate consideration payable in exchange for substantially all of the assets of Circus Reno and the 50% membership interest in the Silver Legacy was approximately $80.2 million of cash, comprised of the $72.5 million purchase price plus $7.7 million in working capital adjustments, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and the assumption of the amounts outstanding under Silver Legacy’s senior secured term loan facility (the “Silver Legacy Credit Facility”). ERI funded the purchase price for the Circus Reno/Silver Legacy Purchase and repaid the borrowings outstanding under the Silver Legacy Credit Facility using a portion of the proceeds of the sale of its 7% Senior Notes due 2023, borrowings under its revolving credit facility and cash on hand.

In connection with the consummation of the Circus Reno/Silver Legacy Purchase, on the Closing Date, ERI caused to be repaid all amounts outstanding under the Silver Legacy Credit Facility and terminated the commitments thereunder.  As of the Closing Date, $80.5 million of indebtedness was outstanding under the Silver Legacy Credit Facility.

Prior to the Circus Reno/Silver Legacy Purchase, ERI had an indirect interest in 48.1% of the interests of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture.

Item 3.02.             Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As previously disclosed on September 19, 2014, ERI and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Retained Interest Agreement, dated as of September 15, 2014 (the “Retained Interest Agreement”), with Hotel-Casino Management, Inc. (“HCM”), and Recreational Enterprises, Inc. (“REI” and, together with HCM, the “Minority Members”), which entitled Eldorado Resorts LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ERI (“Resorts”), to exercise an option (the “Option”) to acquire the Minority Members’ respective minority interests in ELLC (the “Retained Interests”) in exchange for an aggregate of 373,135 shares of ERI common stock, par value $0.00001 (“Common Stock”).

On the Closing Date, in connection with the consummation of the Circus Reno/Silver Legacy Purchase and pursuant to the Retained Interest Agreement, Resorts exercised the Call

Option thereby acquiring the Retained Interests for an aggregate of 373,135 shares of Common Stock.  As a result of these transactions, ELLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ERI, and after giving effect to the Circus Reno/Silver Legacy Purchase, Silver Legacy became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ERI.

The 373,135 shares of Common Stock were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for transactions not involving any public offering.  REI and HCM are sophisticated investors able to bear the risk of the investment. REI and HCM have confirmed the foregoing and acknowledged, in writing, that the shares will be acquired and held for investment.  All certificates evidencing the shares bear or will bear a restrictive legend.
