Item 8.01. Other Events.
On March 22, 2016, Boyd Gaming Corporation (the “Company”) announced the offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 10-year senior notes (the “Notes”) in a private placement transaction, subject to market, regulatory and other conditions (the “Notes Offering”). The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s current and future domestic restricted subsidiaries. The Company’s press release announcing the commencement of the Notes Offering is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company expects approximately $492 million in net proceeds from the Notes Offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds in the future for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include, without limitation, reducing or refinancing indebtedness, consolidating Peninsula Gaming, LLC into the Company’s restricted group, expansion efforts, including acquisitions of assets or businesses, and general capital expenditures. Upon the closing of this offering, the Company will use the net proceeds to pay down the outstanding amounts under its senior secured revolving credit facility and will retain the balance of the net proceeds as additional cash on hand or invest the balance of the net proceeds in cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities.
The Notes being offered have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or applicable state securities laws or blue sky laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or available exemptions from such registration requirements. This disclosure shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes.
