The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only. The hypothetical financial position or results included in the Pro Forma Financial Statements may differ from the Acquired Companies' and MontBleu's actual financial position or results.

Historical Acquisitions
On July 1, 2020, the Company closed its acquisition of the outstanding equity securities of each of Casino KC and Casino Vicksburg from Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (“Caesars”), formerly Eldorado Resorts, Inc. for an aggregated purchase price of $230 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments pursuant to the terms of an Equity Purchase Agreement dated July 10, 2019 among Bally’s, Caesars, and various of their affiliates. This acquisition was funded with available cash on hand at July 1, 2020 the source of which was from borrowings under the Company's existing debt arrangements.
On December 23, 2020, the Company closed its acquisition of the outstanding equity securities of Shreveport from Caesars for a purchase price of $140 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments pursuant to the terms of an Equity Purchase Agreement dated April 24, 2020 by and among Bally's, Caesars, and certain of their affiliates (the “Shreveport/MontBleu Agreement”). This acquisition was funded with available cash on hand at December 23, 2020 the source of which was from borrowings under the Company's existing debt arrangements.
The acquisitions of Casino KC, Casino Vicksburg, and Shreveport (together the “Acquired Companies”) and MontBleu, are being accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method with Bally’s as the accounting acquirer in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under this method of accounting, the respective purchase prices for the Historical Acquisitions will be allocated to the Acquired Companies’ and MontBleu's assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the closing date.
MontBleu Acquisition
The Company expects to complete its acquisition of the outstanding equity securities of MontBleu from Caesars for a purchase price of $15 million in cash, payable one year from the closing date, subject to customary post-closing adjustments
pursuant to the terms of the Shreveport/MontBleu Agreement. The Company considers this acquisition probable given the current likelihood of obtaining the required regulatory license in Nevada. As such, the acquisition should be included in the pro forma financial information. The Company expects that this acquisition will be funded with available cash on hand or available borrowings under the Company’s existing debt agreements when due in 2022 and will be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with Bally’s as the accounting acquirer in accordance with ASC 805.
The Pro Forma Financial Statements include adjustments to record the assets and liabilities of MontBleu at their estimated respective fair values based on available information. The pro forma adjustments included herein are subject to change depending on changes in the components of assets and liabilities and as additional analyses are performed. The final allocation of the purchase prices for the MontBleu acquisition will be determined after completion of a thorough analysis to determine the fair value of each entity’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets as compared with the information shown in the Pro Forma Financial Statements may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill, bargain purchase gain and other assets and liabilities, and may impact the Company’s statement of operations in future periods.
The Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes of Bally’s, the audited financial statements and related notes of MontBleu as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, the unaudited combined financial statements and related notes of Casino KC and Casino Vicksburg as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the unaudited financial statements and related notes of Shreveport as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Note 3 — Pro forma adjustments
The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions that are subject to change. The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information:
(a) Represents the elimination of the Net parent investment at MontBleu and the initial allocation of purchase price to identified intangible assets, fair value adjustments and resulting bargain purchase gain as of December 31, 2020 as follows (in thousands):
Total consideration | $ | 15,000 | |||
Net parent investment | (38,248) | ||||
Write-down/(write-up) of assets: | |||||
Property and equipment, net | 49,344 | ||||
Right of use assets | (16,171) | ||||
Intangible assets | (4,533) | ||||
Historical goodwill | 5 | ||||
(Write-down)/write-up of liabilities: | |||||
Lease obligations | (12,174) | ||||
Deferred income taxes | 1,675 | ||||
Bargain purchase gain | $ | (5,102) |
(b) Represents the reclassification of balance sheet accounts of MontBleu to conform to the presentation used by Bally’s.
(c) Represents the total purchase price for MontBleu, which is due in cash on the one-year anniversary of the closing of the transaction.
(d) Represents the elimination of retained earnings of MontBleu of $38.2 million less a bargain purchase gain of $5.1 million recorded on the MontBleu acquisition as of December 31, 2020.
(e) Represents the reclassification of balances included in Gaming, racing, hotel, food and beverage, retail, entertainment and other and Marketing and promotions that Bally's includes in Advertising, general and administrative expenses.
(f) Represents the lease expense adjustment related to the change in right of use asset and lease liability for the Shreveport ground lease, the Casino KC Port City lease in place in Kansas City and the MontBleu lease.
(g) Represents the reclassification to Advertising general and administrative expenses of management fees paid to Caesars by the Acquired Companies and MontBleu of $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 which are not expected to recur. Also included within Advertising, general and administrative expenses for the Acquired Companies and MontBleu are corporate allocations of $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 which are not expected to recur.
(h) Included in Advertising, general and administrative expenses for the Acquired Companies and MontBleu were transaction costs of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Included in Acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses for Bally's were transaction costs of $5.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. These transaction costs are not expected to recur.
(i) Represents the amortization of intangible assets related to the Acquisitions over a three- to ten-year period as if the Acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2020. The estimated useful lives were determined based on a review of the time period over which economic benefit is estimated to be generated as well as additional factors. Factors considered include contractual life, the period over which a majority of cash flow is expected to be generated or management’s view based on historical experience with similar assets.
(j) Represents the depreciation adjustment of acquired “property and equipment” resulting from the fair value adjustment of these assets relating to the Acquisitions. Bally’s estimated that the fair value of property and equipment was less than MontBleu's book value by $49.3 million, greater than Shreveport's book value by $45.9 million and less than Casino KC and Casino's book value by $8.0 million. Therefore, depreciation expense decreased by $2.9 million on a combined basis for the year ended December 31, 2020 using the straight-line method of depreciation. The estimated remaining useful lives of acquired property and equipment range from 2 years to 40 years.
(k) Represents the reversal of interest expense on the intercompany loan on the books of Shreveport and Casino Vicksburg during the year ended December 31, 2020.
(l) Represents interest expense for borrowings that would have been needed to finance both the $230 million purchase price of Casino KC and Casino Vicksburg and the $137.2 million purchase price for Shreveport had the Historical Acquisitions closed on January 1, 2020. The adjustment to record interest expense assumes the additional debt was obtained on January 1, 2020 for both transactions and was outstanding the first three months of 2020 at which point the Company had financing in place to pay cash for Casino KC and Casino Vicksburg. The adjustment then assumes the additional debt of $137.2 million for Shreveport was outstanding through October 9, 2020, at which point the Company had financing in place to pay cash for Shreveport. The interest rate assumed for purposes of preparing this pro forma financial information is 4.43% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 3.5% for the period from April 2020 through October 9, 2020. This rate represents the Company's effective borrowing rate on its existing debt for each respective period. A 1/8 of a percentage point increase or decrease in the benchmark rate would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
(m) Represents the non-recurring gain on bargain purchase recorded in connection with the acquisition of MontBleu. Bally's gain on bargain purchases of $63.9 million includes a non-recurring gain of $31.3 million in connection with the acquisition of Shreveport.
(n) Reflects the income tax effect of pro forma adjustments based on the estimated blended federal and state statutory tax rates of 92.67% for the year ended December 31, 2020.
