Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 11, 2015, Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. (the Company), IOC-Natchez, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (IOC-Natchez), and Natchez Sub, LLC, a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of IOC-Natchez (NewCo), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the Agreement) with Casino Holding Investment Partners, LLC (Buyer), and its affiliate, Natchez Casino OpCo, LLC, pursuant to which Buyer agreed to purchase all of the equity interests of NewCo. Under the terms of the Agreement, IOC-Natchez will, prior to closing, transfer and convey to NewCo the owned real property, a customer list and certain other non-gaming assets related to the Isle of Capri Hotel located in Natchez, Mississippi, and NewCo will assume certain non-gaming liabilities of IOC-Natchez related to the hotel.
Upon the signing of the Agreement, Buyer paid to the Company a deposit of $1 million. Upon consummation of the transaction, Buyer will pay to IOC-Natchez an aggregate purchase price of approximately $11. 5 million (inclusive of the deposit), subject to a customary purchase price adjustment.
The Company intends to continue its casino and hotel operations in Natchez until the completion of the proposed transaction, at which time it will cease operations and, shortly thereafter, surrender for termination its gaming license to the Mississippi Gaming Commission. IOC-Natchez is providing all of its employees a notification under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the so called WARN Act) regarding the anticipated discontinuance of its operations in Natchez.
The proposed transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in October 2015. The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and indemnities for a transaction of this nature.
The descriptions and provisions of the Agreement set forth above are summaries only and are not necessarily complete. A copy of the Agreement will be filed with the Companys next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 2.06 Material Impairments
As a result of the Companys decision to separately sell the gaming vessel and certain other assets, management determined these assets were materially impaired and will record a non-cash pretax charge of approximately $4.4 million in discontinued operations related to this transaction during our first fiscal quarter ending July 26, 2015. The Companys future financial statements will present the results of operations and assets related to the Natchez property as discontinued operations and as assets held for sale.
At closing, the Company expects an approximate gain of $6.0 million from the sale of assets under the Agreement before consideration of severance and other losses from operations during the period from announcement to closure.
