Exhibit 99.5

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (“Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information”) included herein presents the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet (“Pro Forma Balance Sheet”) and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations (“Pro Forma Statement of Operations”) based upon the audited historical financial statements of Bally’s Corporation (“Bally’s” or the “Company”), the Acquired Companies (as defined below) and Gamesys Group plc (“Gamesys”), after giving effect to the acquisitions of the Acquired Companies (the “Completed Acquisitions”) and the Company’s planned combination with Gamesys (the “Gamesys Combination”), the Financing Transaction (as defined below) and the Equity Offerings (as defined below) (collectively, the “Transactions”), and the adjustments described in the accompanying notes.

 

The Pro Forma Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 gives effect to the Transactions as if each of them had occurred on January 1, 2020. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 gives effect to the Company’s acquisition (the “MontBleu Acquisition”) of MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa (“MontBleu”), the Gamesys Combination, the Financing Transaction, and the Equity Offerings as if each of them had occurred on December 31, 2020.

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information set out below have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Final Rule Release No. 33 10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses using accounting policies in accordance with principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information reflects transaction related adjustments management believes are necessary to present fairly Bally’s Pro Forma Balance Sheet and Pro Forma Statement of Operations.

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only. The hypothetical financial position or results included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information may differ from the Company’s actual financial position or results following the Transactions. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared on the basis set out in the notes below and has been prepared in a manner consistent with the accounting policies applied by the Company in its historical financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. In preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, no adjustments have been made to reflect the potential operating synergies and administrative cost savings or the costs of integration activities that could result from the combination of Bally’s, the Acquired Companies and Gamesys.

 

Completed Acquisitions

 

On July 1, 2020, the Company closed its acquisition of each of IOC-Kansas City, Inc. (“Casino KC”) and Rainbow Casino-Vicksburg Partnership, L.P. (“Casino Vicksburg”) from Caesars Entertainment, Inc., formerly Eldorado Resorts, Inc. (“Caesars”), for an aggregate purchase price of $230,000,000 in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments pursuant to the terms of an Equity Purchase Agreement, dated July 10, 2019, among Bally’s, Caesars and various of their affiliates. This acquisition was funded with available cash on hand at July 1, 2020 and from borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

 

On December 23, 2020, the Company closed its acquisition of Eldorado Resort Casino Shreveport (“Shreveport”) from Caesars for a purchase price of $140,000,000 in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments pursuant to the terms of an Equity Purchase Agreement, dated April 24, 2020 (the “Shreveport/MontBleu Agreement”), among Bally’s, Caesars and certain of their affiliates. This acquisition was funded with available cash on hand at December 23, 2020 and from borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

 

On April 6, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of MontBleu from Caesars for a purchase price of $15,000,000 in cash, payable one year from the closing date, subject to customary post-closing adjustments pursuant to the terms of the Shreveport/MontBleu Agreement. The Company expects that this acquisition will be funded with available cash on hand or available borrowings under the Company’s existing debt agreements when due in April 2022.

 

 

The acquisitions of Casino KC, Casino Vicksburg, Shreveport and MontBleu (together the “Acquired Companies”) are being accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method with Bally’s as the accounting acquirer in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under this method of accounting the respective purchase prices for the Completed Acquisitions will be allocated to the Acquired Companies’ assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of consummation of the relevant acquisition.

 

Gamesys Combination

 

On April 13, 2021, the Company issued an announcement pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers disclosing the terms of the Gamesys Combination pursuant to which Bally’s would acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Gamesys. Under the terms of the Gamesys Combination, Gamesys shareholders would be entitled to receive 1,850 pence in cash for each share of Gamesys or, under a share alternative, Gamesys shareholders would be able to elect to receive newly issued common shares of the Company in lieu of part or all of the cash consideration to which they would be entitled to elect to receive under the Gamesys Combination at an exchange ratio of 0.343 new Bally’s common shares for each Gamesys share. The minimum number of shares to be issued, per agreement with certain shareholders, is 9,196 thousand which is the number of shares assumed to be issued for purposes of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information. An increase in the number of shares issued could materially impact the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information. The Gamesys Combination is expected to be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with Bally’s as the accounting acquirer in accordance with ASC 805. In arriving at the conclusion that Bally’s is the accounting acquirer, the Company considered the structure of the transaction, relative outstanding share ownership, the composition of the combined company’s board of directors, the relative size of Bally’s and Gamesys, and the designation of certain senior management positions of the combined company.

 

Financing Transaction

 

On April 13, 2021, Bally’s entered into a $2,378 million secured bridge loan agreement (the ‘‘Bridge Facility’’), subject to limited conditions, under which the lenders party thereto agreed to provide the financing necessary to pay the cash portion of the consideration payable to Gamesys’ shareholders ($2,143 million) upon consummation of the Gamesys Combination and related fees and expenses of $14.3 million. The remaining proceeds from the Bridge Facility, together with partial proceeds from the Equity Offerings and, if funded, the GLPI Commitment (defined below), will be utilized to repay the outstanding balance of Gamesys’ EUR and GBP Term Facilities ($693 million). The amount of the Bridge Commitment may be reduced by certain proceeds from the Equity Offering.

 

Bally’s has also entered into a commitment letter (the “GLPI Commitment Letter”) with Gaming & Leisure Properties, Inc. (“GLPI”) pursuant to which GLPI has irrevocably committed to purchase shares of our common stock, or, subject to U.S. regulatory requirements, warrants, with a value of up to $500 million (the “GLPI Commitment”) at a price per share based on the volume-weighted average price determined over a period of time prior to such issuance.  The proceeds may be used to fund a portion of the aggregate cash consideration for the Combination, acquisition costs and fees and expenses incurred by Bally’s and its affiliated entities related to the Combination, or to refinance the existing indebtedness of Gamesys.  The GLPI Commitment contemplates that Bally’s and GLPI will affect one or more takeout sale and leaseback transactions, thereby reducing the number of Bally’s shares (or warrants) to be issued to GLPI. The amount of the GLPI Commitment may be reduced by certain net proceeds from the Equity Offerings.

 

The incurrence of the Bridge Facility and issuance of shares pursuant to the GLPI Commitment are collectively referred to as the “Financing Transaction”.

 

Equity Offerings

 

Common Stock Offering. The Company expects to offer and issue (the “Common Stock Offering”) $600 million of its common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”). The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information assumes a public offering price in the Common Stock Offering of $62.01 per share, which is the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on April 7, 2021, and would result in the issuance of 9,674 thousand shares in the Common Stock Offering, subject to changes in stock price among other factors. The Company has estimated total net proceeds for the Common Stock Offering of $579 million, net of estimated issuance costs of $21 million. The amounts set forth above in this paragraph and elsewhere in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information assume no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Common Stock Offering.

 

 

TEU Offering. The Company expects to offer and issue (the “TEU Offering” and, together with the Common Stock Offering, the “Equity Offerings”) $250 million of tangible equity units (each, a “TEU”). Each TEU will be comprised of two parts: (1) a prepaid stock purchase contract (a “TEU purchase contract”) and (2) a senior amortizing note (a “TEU amortizing note”) that will pay equal quarterly installments. Unless earlier redeemed by the Company in connection with a Gamesys Combination termination redemption or settled earlier at the holder’s option or at the Company’s option, each TEU purchase contract will, subject to postponement in certain limited circumstances, automatically settle on April 15, 2024, and the Company will deliver a specified number of shares of Common Stock per TEU based upon applicable settlement rates and the market value of the Company’s Common Stock. The TEU amortizing notes are expected to have a specified initial principal amount and a specified interest rate and the Company will make specified payments of interest and partial repayments of principal on quarterly installment payment dates.

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information reflects the expected issuance of the TEU purchase contract portion of the TEUs as additional paid-in-capital, net of issuance costs, and the TEU amortizing notes portion of the TEU as long-term debt, net of issuance costs. The Company has estimated total net proceeds for the TEU Offering of $241.25 million, net of estimated issuance costs of $8.75 million, which has been allocated to the TEU purchase contracts and the TEU amortizing notes based on the relative fair values of the respective components, determined based on the most recent fair market estimates at the time of filing. The Company has estimated that the allocation of the net proceeds of the TEU is $201.0 million, net of issuance costs of $7.3 million for the TEU purchase contracts and $41.8 million, net of issuance costs of $1.5 million for the TEU purchase contracts.

 

Based on the expected structure of the TEU, the Company currently expects the TEU purchase contracts to meet equity classification. The classification of the TEU will be subject to detailed assessment once finalized and a different conclusion may result in a material impact on the information presented.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Equity Offerings to partially fund the cash portion of the consideration payable for the Gamesys Combination. Upon the consummation of the Equity Offerings, all or substantially all of the net proceeds will be placed in an escrow account with one of the banks that have committed to finance the Gamesys Combination to reduce such financing commitments. If the Gamesys Combination is terminated, lapses or is withdrawn for any reason prior to the consummation of the Gamesys Combination, the net proceeds of the Equity Offerings will be released to the Company from escrow and, after payment of any cash redemption amount and/or repurchase price, used for general corporate purposes. The Equity Offerings are not contingent on the consummation of the Gamesys Combination, and the consummation of the Gamesys Combination is not contingent on the consummation of the Equity Offerings, and, as a result, it is possible that the Equity Offerings occur and the Gamesys Combination does not occur and vice versa.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

Note 1 — Description of Transaction and Basis of Presentation

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared based on U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Regulation S-X and presents the Pro Forma Balance Sheet and Pro Forma Statement of Operations of the combined companies based upon the historical financial information of Bally’s, the Acquired Companies and Gamesys, after giving effect to the following transactions:

 

•

The Completed Acquisitions;

 

•

The Gamesys Combination;

 

•

The Financing Transaction; and

 

•

The Equity Offerings.

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information is not necessarily indicative of what Bally’s consolidated statements of operations or consolidated balance sheet would have been had the Acquisitions been completed as of the dates indicated or will be for any future periods. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information does not purport to project the future financial position or results of operations of Bally’s following the Transactions. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information reflects transaction related adjustments management believes are necessary to present fairly Bally’s Pro Forma Balance Sheet and Pro Forma Statement of Operations assuming the Transactions (other than, in the case of Bally’s Pro Forma Balance Sheet, the Casino KC, Casino Vicksburg and Shreveport acquisitions) had been consummated as of December 31, 2020 and January 1, 2020, respectively. The transaction related adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions management believes are, under the circumstances and given the information available at this time, reasonable, and reflective of adjustments necessary to report Bally’s financial condition and results of operations as a result of the closing of the Transactions. All dollar amounts are presented in thousands, unless otherwise noted.

 

Bally’s has concluded that the MontBleu Acquisition and the Gamesys Combination each represent business combinations pursuant to ASC 805. As of the date of this filing, the calculations necessary to estimate the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been performed based on a preliminary valuation for the MontBleu Acquisition, and based on publicly available benchmarking information as well as a variety of other assumptions, including market participant assumptions for the Gamesys Combination.. The Company will continue to refine its identification and valuation of assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as further information becomes available. Using the total consideration for the transactions, Bally’s has preliminarily allocated the purchase price to such assets and liabilities as of January 31, 2021. These preliminary purchase price allocations have been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information. The final purchase price allocations will be determined when Bally’s has completed the Gamesys Combination and the detailed valuations and other studies and necessary calculations. The final purchase price allocations could differ materially from the preliminary purchase price allocations. The final purchase price allocations may include changes in allocations to intangible assets, goodwill and bargain purchase based on the results of certain valuations and other studies that have yet to be completed and other changes to assets and liabilities.

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by Bally’s, and reflect certain adjustments to the Acquired Companies’ and Gamesys’ historical financial information to conform to the accounting policies of Bally’s based on a preliminary review of the Acquired Companies’ and Gamesys accounting policies.

 

The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates and currently available information and assumptions that Bally’s management believes are reasonable. The notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information describe how such adjustments were derived and presented in the Pro Forma Balance Sheet and Pro Forma Statement of Operations. Changes in facts and circumstances or discovery of new information may result in revised estimates. As a result, there may be material adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information. Certain historical financial statement caption amounts for Gamesys and the Acquired Companies have been reclassified or combined to conform to Bally’s presentation and disclosure requirements.

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes of Bally’s, the Acquired Companies and Gamesys as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Note 2 — Bally’s historical financial statements

 

The results and net assets of Bally’s as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 have been extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements of Bally’s, as set out in Bally’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

 

 

Note 3 — Completed Acquisitions pre-acquisition results and reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications were directly applied to the pre-acquisition historical financial statements of the Acquired Companies to conform to the financial statement presentation of Bally’s.

 

Reclassifications in the Pro Forma Statement of Operations are as follows:

(d) Represents the reclassification of balances in “Gaming, racing, hotel, food and beverage, retail, entertainment and other” ($2,375), “Marketing & promotions” ($3,392), and “Management Fee” ($2,576) to Advertising, general and administrative expenses.

 

 

Note 4 — Completed Acquisitions adjustments

 

The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions that are subject to change. The following adjustments have been reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information:

 

4(a) Represents a $2,920 increase in lease expense related to changes in the fair value of right of use asset and lease liabilities of the Acquired Companies.

 

4(b) Represents decrease in depreciation expense related to acquired property and equipment resulting from the fair value adjustment of assets acquired in the Completed Acquisitions. Bally’s estimated that the fair value of property and equipment was less than MontBleu’s book value by $49.3 million, greater than Shreveport’s book value by $45.9 million and less than Casino KC and Casino Vicksburg’s book value by $8.0 million. Therefore, depreciation expense decreased by a total of $2.9 million on a combined basis for the year ended December 31, 2020 using the straight-line method of depreciation, including a reduction in MontBleu depreciation expense of $2.5 million. The estimated remaining useful lives of acquired property and equipment from the Completed Acquisitions ranged from 2 years to 40 years:

 

(In thousands)		Fair Value				Weighted Average Useful Life (Years)				Depreciation Method		Year ended December 31, 2020
Land improvements		$	6,100				10			Straight Line		$	428

Casino KC, Casino Vicksburg, and Shreveport Pro forma adjustment													(369	)
Reduction in MontBleu depreciation expense													(2,536	)
Total Pro forma Adjustment												$	(2,905	)

 

4(c) Represents the amortization of intangible assets related to the Completed Acquisitions over a three- to ten-year period as if the Completed Acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2020. The estimated useful lives were determined based on a review of the time period over which economic benefit is expected to be generated as well as additional factors. Factors considered include contractual life, the period over which a majority of cash flow is expected to be generated, and management’s expectations based on historical experience with similar assets:

 

(In thousands)		Fair Value				Weighted Average Useful Life (Years)				Amortization Method		Year ended December 31, 2020
Rated player relationships			1,300				8			Straight Line		$	107
Total acquired finite lived intangible assets			1,300										107
Less: historical intangible asset amortization expense													(52	)
Casino KC, Casino Vicksburg, and Shreveport Pro forma adjustment													55
Increase in MontBleu amortization expense													70
Total Pro forma Adjustment												$	125

 

4(d) Represents the reversal of interest expense on intercompany loans recorded by Casino KC and Casino Vicksburg ($1,730) and Shreveport ($4,437). Additionally, represents the interest expense for borrowings that would have been needed to finance the $230 million purchase price of Casino KC and Casino Vicksburg and the $140 million purchase price of Shreveport had each of the acquisitions closed on January 1, 2020. The adjustment to record interest expense assumes the additional borrowings for Casino KC, Casino Vicksburg, and Shreveport were obtained on January 1, 2020 for both transactions and was outstanding until the point the Company had financing in place to fund each acquisition.

 

For the Casino KC and Casino Vicksburg transaction, interest expense of $2,540 was calculated using a weighted average rate of 4.43% for the first three months of 2020 at which point the Company had financing in place to fund the acquisition.

 

 

Interest expense of $4,125 for the Shreveport transaction was calculated assuming the additional debt of $140 million was outstanding at a weighted average rate of 3.8% until October 2020 at which point the Company had financing in place to fund the acquisition:

 

(In thousands)		Casino KC and Casino Vicksburg				Shreveport				Total Pro Forma Adjustment

Pro forma adjustment to interest expense		$	810			$	(312	)		$	498

 

4(e) Represents the non-recurring gain on bargain purchase recorded in connection with the MontBleu Acquisition.

 

4(f) Reflects the income tax effect of the Completed Acquisitions adjustments, calculated using Bally’s statutory tax rate of 28%. This rate may be subject to change and may not be reflective of Bally’s effective tax rate for future periods after consummation of the Transactions:

Note 6 — MontBleu combination adjustments

 

6(a) Preliminary purchase consideration and purchase price allocation

 

The acquisition of MontBleu, which closed on April 6, 2021, resulted in Bally’s acquiring all of the outstanding equity securities of MontBleu for a purchase price of $15 million in cash, payable one year from the closing date, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments.

 

Bally’s has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of MontBleu’s assets and liabilities. The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the acquisition date:

 

(In thousands)
Purchase price		$	15,000
Write-down/(write-up) of assets:
Property and equipment, net			49,345
Right of use assets			(16,171	)

Lease obligations			(14,051	)
Deferred income taxes			1,675
Elimination of equity:
Retained earnings			(38,248	)

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of MontBleu based on its estimated fair value as of the closing date.

 

6(b) Represents the total purchase price for MontBleu, which is due in cash on the one-year anniversary of the closing of the transaction.

 

6(c) Represents the $5,100 non-recurring gain on bargain purchase recorded in connection with the MontBleu Acquisition.

 

Note 7— Gamesys reclassifications and IFRS to U.S. GAAP adjustments

 

Gamesys’ historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘‘IFRS’’), which differ in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP as applied by Bally’s. Adjustments were made to Gamesys’ financial statements to convert them from IFRS to U.S. GAAP and to Bally’s existing accounting policies after evaluating potential areas of differences.

  

The historical financial information of Gamesys was prepared in accordance with IFRS and presented in Pounds Sterling. The historical financial information was translated from Pounds Sterling to U.S. dollars using the December 31, 2020 spot rate to translate the Balance Sheet and the average daily exchange rate for 2020 to translate the Statement of Operations:

 

GBP £ / USD $
December 31, 2020 spot rate			1.3631
Year ended December 31, 2020 average exchange rate			1.2840

 

These exchange rates may differ from future exchange rates which would have an impact on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information and would also impact purchase accounting upon consummation of the acquisition. As an example, utilizing the daily closing exchange rate at April 7, 2021 of £1/US$1.379 would increase the translated amounts of net income for the year ended December 31, 2020, as well as increase total assets as of December 31, 2020, presented below, by approximately $6,361 and $19,785, respectively.

(a) The results of Gamesys for the year ended December 31, 2020 have been extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements of Gamesys, as set out in Bally’s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated April 13, 2021, incorporated by reference herein.

 

The classification of certain items presented by Gamesys under IFRS has been modified in order to align with the presentation used by Bally’s under U.S. GAAP. The following modifications were made to the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operations presentation:

 

(b) Reclassification of Distribution costs to Gaming, racing, hotel, food and beverage, retail, entertainment and other.

 

 

(c) Includes the reclassification of £91.2 million and £8.8 million of amortization and depreciation, respectively to Depreciation and amortization.

 

(d) Reclassification of £5.0 million of Impairment of financial assets and £121.5 million of Administrative costs to Advertising, general and administrative.

 

(e) Reclassification of Severance costs and Transaction related costs to Acquisition, integration and restructuring expense

 

(f) Reclassification of Interest expense and Accretion on financial liabilities to Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized.

 

(g) Reflects reclassification of £5.3 million of depreciation and £1.2 million of interest expense related to leased assets to lease expense. Under IFRS, leases are not classified as operating or finance leases. A single recognition and measurement model is applied to all leases, which results in nearly all leases under IFRS being treated similarly to finance leases under U.S. GAAP. Under U.S. GAAP, leases are classified as either operating or finance leases on the basis of specific lease classification criteria. Management performed a preliminary assessment and concluded that Gamesys’ leases would be classified as operating leases under U.S. GAAP with lease expense recognized on a straight-line basis as part of Advertising, general and administrative expenses. Management concluded that there would not be a material difference between the expense already recognized and measuring lease expense on a straight-line basis under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, no further adjustment has been recorded.

 

Note 8 — Gamesys Combination adjustments

 

8(a) Preliminary purchase consideration and allocation

 

The Gamesys Combination, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021, will result in Bally’s acquiring all of the outstanding equity securities of Gamesys for an estimated purchase price of $3,429 million funded through debt financing and the issuance of equity, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments. The Company will acquire both the operations and real estate of Gamesys.

 

Bally’s has performed a preliminary analysis of the fair value of Gamesys’ assets and liabilities based on publicly available benchmarking information as well as a variety of other factors, including market participant assumptions. The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the acquisition date:

 

(In thousands, except share and share price amounts)

(i)

Upon closing of the Gamesys Combination, Bally’s will provide Gamesys shareholders who elect to exchange their shares, 0.343 shares of Bally’s common stock for each share of Gamesys common stock. The remaining shares of Gamesys common stock will be settled in cash for which shareholders will be entitled to receive £18.50 per share. The table above assumes an exchange rate of $1.379 per Pound Sterling, based on the April 7, 2021 spot rate, which was used to translate the Gamesys price from Pounds Sterling to U.S. Dollars. Certain of Gamesys’ current shareholders holding an aggregate amount of 25.6% of Gamesys’ shares have agreed to receive shares of Bally’s Common Stock in the Combination. As such, for purposes of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, Bally’s estimates an aggregate amount of 25.6% of Gamesys’ outstanding shares (109,503,120 shares on April 7, 2021) will be exchanged for 9,605 thousand shares of Bally’s Common Stock, and the balance of Gamesys’ outstanding shares will be exchanged for cash. For purposes of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, Bally’s estimates that 74.43% of Gamesys’ outstanding shares will be exchanged for cash, resulting in aggregate cash consideration of $2,143 million to be financed through borrowings under the Bridge Facility ($2,378 million). The remaining proceeds from the Bridge Facility along with a portion of proceeds from the Equity Offerings will be used for the repayment of Gamesys’ EUR and GBP Term Facilities. The GLPI Commitment will be leveraged to the extent the proceeds from the equity offering are not sufficient.

 

 

The actual amount of purchase consideration that will be settled in equity will be determined upon consummation of the Gamesys Combination. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in the number of outstanding Gamesys shares that are exchanged for Bally’s Common Stock, all other factors remaining constant, would result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the equity consideration of $57.1 million, or 920 thousand shares of Bally’s Common Stock.

 

(ii)

Cash consideration assumes 74.43% of outstanding Gamesys shares will be exchanged for cash equal to £18.50 per share. In addition to the current Gamesys shares outstanding, an additional 2,502 thousand Gamesys shares are expected to vest immediately prior to the transaction which are also included in the calculation of cash consideration.

 

(iii)

Under the terms of the Gamesys Combination, Bally’s will repay the outstanding balance of Gamesys debt. The value of the Gamesys debt at December 31, 2020 has been included in the calculation of preliminary purchase consideration, however actual purchase consideration will reflect the balance of Gamesys’ debt outstanding as of the acquisition date.

 

(iv)	Cash acquired excludes $42 million dividend (28 pence per share) declared by Gamesys on March 8, 2021, payment of which will be accelerated upon transaction closing.

 

(v)

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of Gamesys based on its estimated fair value as of the closing date. Except as discussed in the notes below, the carrying value of Gamesys’ assets and liabilities are considered to approximate their fair values.

 

(vi)

The preliminary fair value adjustments are based on benchmark data available to Bally’s and is subject to change upon completion of the final purchase price allocation. Any change in the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired will have a corresponding impact on the amount of the goodwill recorded. Goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce of Gamesys and planned growth in new markets through continued investment. Goodwill recorded is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

  

8(b) Represents the fair value of intangible assets acquired. This includes the total acquired finite-lived intangible assets less the historical intangible assets recorded by Gamesys.

The value of intangible assets is preliminary. A 10% change in the valuation of intangible assets would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the balance of goodwill of $160.3 million and annual amortization expense of approximately $28.1 million, assuming an overall weighted average useful life of 9.22 years.

 

8(e) Represents repayment of Gamesys’ EUR and GBP Term Facilities ($692,574) and reversal of related interest expense ($30,817).

 

8(f) Reflects the income tax effect of pro forma adjustments the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Bally’s has used a UK statutory tax rate of 19 percent to calculate the financing and acquisition related adjustments to the Pro Forma Balance Sheet. The total adjustment to deferred tax liabilities is related to the following estimated fair value adjustments: 

 

(In thousands)		Fair Value				Tax rate				Pro Forma Deferred Tax Adjustment

Less: deferred taxes on historical intangible assets											(60,520	)
Pro forma adjustment										$	244,043

 

The tax impact of the financing and acquisition business-related adjustments to the Pro Forma Statement of Operations was a $8,796 tax benefit. This adjustment includes amortization, elimination of interest expense, interest expense related to borrowing costs, and transaction costs. The total tax impact was calculated using a tax rate of 19 percent.

Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Income Statement related the Bridge Facility include the following:

 

9(d) Comprised of amortization of $14,227 of fees incurred in connection with the Bridge Facility and $38,934 of interest expense related to the Bridge Facility. The adjustment to record interest expense assumes the $2,378 Bridge Facility was obtained on January 1, 2020 and paid down to $1,559 million using proceeds from the Equity Offerings. The adjustment further assumes that this amount was outstanding for the full year 2020 at a weighted average rate of 2.66%. This rate is based on the 1 Month LIBOR rate at December 31, 2020 plus 2.50%. A change in the underlying interest rate of 1/8 of a percentage point would result in an increase or decrease in interest expense of $1,830.

 

9(e) Represents the tax benefit related to the Financing Transaction adjustments.

 

Note 10 — Equity Offerings adjustments

 

Adjustments to the Pro Forma Balance Sheet and Pro Forma Statement of Operations related to the Equity Offerings include the following:

 

10(a) Represents the net proceeds from the Equity Offerings which was used to pay down a portion of the Bridge Facility. A reconciliation of the gross proceeds from the Equity Offerings to the net cash proceeds after repayment of the Bridge Facility is set forth below:

 

(In thousands except per share amounts)
Class A common stock public offering price per share		$	62.01
Shares of Class A common stock issued			9,676
Gross proceeds			600,000

Total net cash proceeds from offering			820,250
Cash proceeds from offering used to repay Bridge Facility			815,000
Net cash proceeds after repayment of Bridge Facility		$	5,250

 

10(b) Represents an adjustment related to the TEUs, which includes (1) a $208.3 million adjustment to additional paid-in-capital for the TEU purchase contracts, which will, subject to postponement in certain limited circumstances, automatically settle on April 15, 2024, at which point the Company will deliver a specified number of shares of Common Stock per TEU based upon applicable settlement rates and the market value of the Company’s Common Stock at that time and (2) a $40.3 million increase in long-term debt related to the TEU amortizing note net of issuance costs.

 

10(c) Represents a $97 adjustment to common stock related to the issuance of 9.7 million shares, par value $0.01 per share, expected to be issued pursuant to the Common Stock Offering, and a $599.9 million adjustment to additional paid in capital related to the Common Stock Offering, as discussed above.

 

10(d) Represents a $28.3 million adjustment to the Pro Forma Statement of Operations and retained earnings related to the issuance fees and offering expenses for the Common Stock Offering and the TEU purchase contract, and a $1.5 million adjustment to the Pro Forma Balance Sheet to decrease long-term debt related to deferred financing costs associated with the TEU amortizing note.

A 1/8 of a percentage point change in the interest rate would affect interest expense by approximately $52.

 

10(f) Represents the tax benefit related to the Equity Offerings adjustments.

 

Note 11 — Pro forma earnings per share information

 

11(a) Represents the net earnings per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Gamesys Combination, the Financing Transactions and the Equity Offerings, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2020. As the Gamesys Combination, the Financing Transactions and the Equity Offerings are being reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Gamesys Combination, the Financing Transactions and the Equity Offerings have been outstanding for the entire period presented. For shares redeemed, this calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares. Basic and diluted earnings per share are equal as the combined company has a pro forma net loss and the effect of converting the TEUs to common stock would be anti-dilutive.
