INTRODUCTION

This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this “Transaction Statement”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”), by: (i) Empire Resorts, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the issuer of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) and Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”); (ii) Hercules Topco LLC (“Parent”), a Delaware limited liability company; (iii) Hercules Merger Subsidiary Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent; (iv) Genting Berhad, a Malaysian public company limited by shares; (v) Genting Malaysia Berhad, a Malaysian public company limited by shares; (vi) Genting (USA) Limited, an Isle of Man limited company (“Gen USA”); (vii) Kien Huat Realty III Limited, an Isle of Man limited company (“Kien Huat”) and (viii) Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, a Malaysian citizen. Collectively, the persons filing this Transaction Statement are referred to as the “Filing Persons.” Filing Persons (ii) through (viii) are collectively referred to herein as “Parent Filing Group Persons”.

The Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 18, 2019 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Hercules Topco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), Hercules Merger Subsidiary Inc., a Delaware corporation (Merger Sub”) and Empire Resorts, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Kien Huat Realty III Limited (“Kien Huat”) and Genting Malaysia Berhard (“GenM”). Kien Huat, GenM and their respective affiliates are currently the holders of approximately 86% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding capital stock. Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, the company is filing with the SEC an Amendment No. 1 to the definitive Proxy Statement (as amended, the “Proxy Statement”) filed under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, relating to a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company (the “Special Meeting”) at which the stockholders of the Company will hold (i) a vote on a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving as a subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger Proposal”), (ii) an advisory (non-binding) vote to approve certain items of compensation that are based on or otherwise related to the Merger (as defined herein) that may become payable to the Company’s named executive officers under existing agreements with the Company and (iii) vote on a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal. The Proxy Statement incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit (a)(1). A copy of the Merger Agreement is annexed to the Proxy Statement as Appendix A and is incorporated herein by reference.

If the Merger is completed, each share of Common Stock owned immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), other than as provided below, will be converted into the right to receive $9.74 in cash (the “Common Stock Per Share Merger Consideration”), without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, and each share of the Series B Preferred Stock owned immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, other than as provided below, will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of the Common Stock Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible (the “Series B Per Share Merger Consideration”), without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. In addition, in connection with completion of the Merger: (i) shares of Common Stock or Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series F Preferred Stock” and, together with the Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, the “Voting Stock”), owned by Kien Huat, GenM or their respective affiliates will remain outstanding, (ii) shares of Voting Stock owned by the Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries will be canceled and (iii) shares of Voting Stock owned by any stockholder who properly exercises appraisal rights under Delaware law with respect to such shares will be canceled and entitle the holder thereof only to such appraisal rights, unless and until such holder fails to perfect, and therefore loses, such appraisal rights. Following the completion of the Merger, the Company will no longer have Common Stock listed on the NASDAQ Global Market and will no longer be required to file periodic and other reports with the SEC with respect to Common Stock.

The completion of the Merger requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of outstanding shares of Voting Stock, entitled to vote thereon as of the record date for the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. In addition, the Merger Agreement makes it a condition to the parties’ obligations to consummate the Merger that the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock not held by Kien Huat, GenM, and their respective affiliates, or any director or executive officer of the Company, entitled to vote

thereon as of the record date for the Special Meeting, voting as a single class, vote in favor of the Merger Proposal. In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Kien Huat entered into a voting agreement with the Company, pursuant to which Kien Huat has agreed to vote its shares of Voting Stock in favor of the Merger Proposal, subject to the limitations set forth in the voting agreement.

Pursuant to the binding term sheet by and between GenM, Kien Huat and Gen USA, dated as of August 5, 2019, on November 4, 2019, Kien Huat sold to Gen USA 13,200,000 shares of Common Stock at $9.74 per share, the same price as the Common Stock Per Share Merger Consideration. Following such purchase, and prior to the completion of the Merger, it is expected that Kien Huat and Gen USA will contribute their shares of Common Stock to Parent. As a result, Parent will own all of the Company’s Common Stock and Kien Huat will own all of the Company’s Series F Preferred Stock following the completion of the Merger, no other parties will own any capital stock of the Company, and neither Kien Huat, Gen USA, nor Parent will receive the Common Stock Per Share Merger Consideration or the Series B Per Share Merger Consideration.

Pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3, the information in the Proxy Statement, including all appendices thereto, is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, and responses to each item herein are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the Proxy Statement. The cross-references below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and show the location in the Proxy Statement of the information required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3.

All information concerning the Company contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this Transaction Statement and the Proxy Statement was supplied by the Company. Similarly, all information concerning each other Filing Person contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this Transaction Statement and the Proxy Statement was supplied by such Filing Person.

While each of the Filing Persons acknowledge that the Merger is a “going private” transaction for purposes of Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, the filing of this Transaction Statement shall not be construed as an admission by any Filing Person, or by any affiliate of a Filing Person, that the Company is “controlled” by any Filing Person or that any Filing Person is “controlled” by any other Filing Person.
