Transaction Financing
The Company plans to fund the transactions with a combination of cash on hand and the expected upsizing of the Company’s existing credit facility.
The Shreveport and Mont Bleu transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2021 and the Bally’s transaction is expected to close in late 2020 or early 2021, subject to receipt of FTC and gaming regulatory approvals, financing and other customary closing conditions.
