The Issuers intend to use $2.0 billion of the net proceeds from this offering of the Notes to consummate the series of previously announced transactions (the “Eldorado Transaction”) between the Company and Eldorado Resorts, Inc., with such $2.0 billion of net proceeds placed in escrow pending the consummation of the Eldorado Transaction.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.

This release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
