INTRODUCTION

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (as amended, 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 (the “Exchange Act”) by (a) Bally’s Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Bally’s”), (b) Epsilon Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub I”), (c) Standard General L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Standard General”), (d) The Queen Casino & Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation and affiliate of Parent (“Queen”), (e) SG CQ Gaming LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, an affiliate of Standard General and stockholder of Queen (“SG Gaming”), (f) SG Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Standard General (“Parent”), (g) Standard RI Ltd., an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and an affiliate of Standard General and Queen (“SRL”), (h) Soohyung Kim, an individual, and (i) Noel Hayden, an individual. Collectively, the persons filing this Transaction Statement are referred to as the “filing persons”.

 

This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 25, 2024 (as it has been or may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Merger Sub I, Epsilon Sub II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and affiliate of the Company (“Merger Sub II,” and together with the Company and Merger Sub I, the “Company Parties”), Parent, Queen, and solely for purposes of specified provisions of the Merger Agreement, SG Gaming (together with Parent and Queen, the “Buyer Parties”). Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the transactions:

 

SG Gaming will contribute all of the 10,967,117.016 shares of common stock, par value $0.00000198 per share, of Queen (the “Queen Common Stock”) held by SG Gaming (the “Queen Share Contribution”) to the Company, and in exchange therefor the Company will issue to SG Gaming 26,909,895 validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), based on an exchange ratio of 2.45368905950 (the “Queen Exchange Ratio”),

 

following the Queen Share Contribution, Merger Sub I will merge with and into the Company (the “Company Merger”) with the Company surviving the Company Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), in connection with which, at the effective time of the Company Merger (the “Company Effective Time”), each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Effective Time (other than shares of Company Common Stock owned by: (i) the Company or any of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries; (ii) holders exercising appraisal rights; (iii) SG Gaming following the Queen Share Contribution; or (iv) holders who have validly elected to have such shares remain issued and outstanding following the Company Merger (a “Rolling Share Election”), subject to certain exceptions) will be converted into the right to receive cash consideration equal to $18.25 per share of Company Common Stock, and

 

following the Company Merger, Merger Sub II will merge with and into Queen (the “Queen Merger” and together with the “Company Merger”, the “Mergers”) with Queen surviving the Queen Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Queen Surviving Corporation”), in connection with which each issued and outstanding share of Queen Common Stock (other than those held by the Company as a result of the Queen Share Contribution) will convert into shares of Company Common Stock based on the Queen Exchange Ratio.

Each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Bally’s and its subsidiaries) as of [●], 2024 (the “Record Date”), or who becomes a record holder of shares of Company Common Stock during the period between Record Date and 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of the special meeting to approve the Merger Agreement (or such later date mutually agreed by Parent and the Company) (the “Election Deadline”) and has received an election form for making a Rolling Share Election (an “Election Form”), may submit an Election Form specifying the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by such record holder that such record holder elects to have remain issued and outstanding in the Company Merger. In making any Rolling Share Election, each record holder making such election that is accepted will be deemed to have elected to have each such Rolling Company Share assigned a new CUSIP number (the “Rolling Company Share CUSIP”) that will identify the Rolling Company Shares. Bally’s will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Rolling Company Shares: (i) to be assigned the new Rolling Company Share CUSIP; and (ii) to be eligible for trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol BALY.T, from the Election Deadline until the Company Effective Time. Any Company Stockholder who fails to properly make a Rolling Share Election on or before the Election Deadline with respect to all or any portion of such record holder’s shares of Company Common Stock will be deemed to have not made a Rolling Share Election with respect to such shares. However, Parent and the Company (subject to the prior approval by the Special Committee (defined below)) reserve the right to cause one or more periods for Rolling Share Elections to be made prior to the Company Effective Time subject to such deadlines and procedures as they may determine to be necessary or appropriate. The Company will notify Company Stockholders of each such period and the related deadlines and procedures by the filing with the SEC of a Form 8-K or such other report or schedule as may be appropriate. In the event any such additional period for Rolling Share Elections is elected, Rolling Share Elections made in any prior period for Rolling Share Elections, including those made prior to the original Election Deadline, may not be revoked by the applicable Company Stockholder who made such prior Rolling Share Election. In order to validly make Rolling Share Elections, stockholders desiring to make a Rolling Share Election will be required to waive appraisal rights in respect of any shares of Company Common Stock that they hold or may hereafter acquire that are subject to a Rolling Share Election.

 

The Election Form may provide that the Company Stockholders making a Rolling Share Election agree (i) not to effect any sales or other transfers of the shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Rolling Share Election from the time of submission of the Election Form until the earlier of the Election Deadline or the proper revocation of a Rolling Share Election and (ii) after the Election Deadline, not to effect any sales or other transfer of the shares of any Company Common Stock subject to the Rolling Share Election unless and until the Rolling Company Share CUSIP is assigned in respect of such Rolling Company Shares.

 

Any Election Form may be revoked by the applicable record holder of Company Common Stock by submitting written notice of such revocation to the Payment Agent prior to the Election Deadline. If an Election Form is properly revoked by the record holder of Company Common Stock, any certificate(s) (or guarantees of delivery, as appropriate) for the shares of Company Common Stock to which such Election Form relates will be returned promptly to the stockholder that submitted the same to Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (the “Payment Agent”) and shares represented by such certificates and book-entry shares in respect of which an Election Form was previously submitted will thereupon become transferable on the stock transfer books and ledger of the Company with the CUSIP number borne by such shares of Company Common Stock at the time of submission of the Election Form in connection therewith. All Rolling Share Elections will be revoked automatically if the Payment Agent is notified in writing by Parent and the Company prior to or after the Election Deadline that the Company Merger has been abandoned and the Merger Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms. In addition, each of Parent and Bally’s will have the authority to revoke all or any part of a Rolling Share Election at any time prior to the Company Effective Time (both before or after the Election Deadline) if it determines in good faith that such election is reasonably likely to delay or prevent receipt of any of the requisite gaming approvals or the holding of shares of Company Common Stock after closing by the holder thereof is reasonably likely to adversely affect the conduct of gaming activities by the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries after the closing. If Rolling Share Elections are revoked in accordance with the foregoing provisions, (i) Bally’s will notify promptly the applicable stockholder(s) thereof, (ii) the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which such Rolling Share Elections were revoked will be promptly reassigned the CUSIP number borne by such shares of Company Common Stock at the time of submission of the Election Form in connection therewith and will thereupon become transferable on the stock transfer books and ledger of the Company with such reassigned CUSIP number, and (iii) to the extent any shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which such Rolling Share Elections were revoked were represented by certificate(s), the Company will provide the applicable stockholders with certificate(s) (or replacement certificate(s)) representing such shares without any Rolling Company Share CUSIP, all in accordance with such procedures as the Company and Parent will determine to be necessary or appropriate.

 

Following the completion of the Mergers, the shares of Company Common Stock may be delisted from trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

 

The board of directors of Bally’s (the “Bally’s Board”) formed a special committee of the Bally’s Board comprised solely of independent directors (the “Special Committee”) to, among other things, evaluate and make recommendations to the Bally’s Board regarding Merger Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby.

The Special Committee, as more fully described in the Company’s amended proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act with the SEC, evaluated the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, with the assistance of its own independent financial and legal advisors. After careful consideration, the Special Committee unanimously (1) determined that the terms of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Company Merger, are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Unaffiliated Company Stockholders (as defined below), (2) recommended that the Bally’s Board approve and declare advisable the Merger Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereby, including the Company Merger, and determine that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Company Merger, are fair to, and in the best interests of, Bally’s and the Unaffiliated Company Stockholders and (3) recommended that, subject to approval of the Bally’s Board, the Bally’s Board submit the Merger Agreement to the Company Stockholders for their adoption, and recommend that the Company Stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement.

 

The Bally’s Board, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, by a unanimous vote of the Company’s directors (excluding directors Soohyung Kim and Terrence Downey, who recused themselves due to their affiliation with Parent and/or Queen), (1) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Company Merger, are fair to, and in the best interests of, Bally’s and the Company Stockholders, including the Unaffiliated Company Stockholders; (2) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Company Merger, (3) approved and declared advisable the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by the Company, the performance by the Company of its covenants and other obligations thereunder the Merger Agreement, and the consummation of, the Company Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (4) directed that the adoption of the Merger Agreement be submitted to a vote of the Company Stockholders, and (5) recommended that the Company Stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement.

 

The Mergers cannot be completed without the affirmative vote of both: (a) the holders of a majority of all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote thereon and (b) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock held by the Unaffiliated Company Stockholders and entitled to vote thereon, which excludes all of the shares of Company Common Stock held, directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of: (i) Parent, SRL, SBG Gaming and Noel Hayden or their respective Affiliates and those members of the Bally’s Board who are employees of Parent, SBG Gaming or any of their respective Affiliates; (ii) any person that the Company has determined to be an “officer” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act; and (iii) any Company Stockholder who, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, enters into any contract, agreement or other arrangement with any Buyer Party or any of its respective Affiliates pursuant to which such Company Stockholder agrees to vote to adopt the Merger Agreement or to make a Rolling Share Election (collectively, the “Unaffiliated Company Stockholders”).
