Bally’s Corporation has completed the previously announced transactions with Standard General and its affiliates including The Queen Casino & Entertainment, a regional casino operator majority-owned by funds managed by Standard General.

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Bally’s and Queen combined, with Queen shareholders receiving consideration of 30.5 million shares. Thereafter, the Company paid cash consideration of $18.25 per share to holders of 22.8 million of the Company’s outstanding shares. The cash merger consideration was financed by the issuance of $500 million in senior secured notes due in 2028 provided exclusively by funds managed by Apollo, along with Bally’s available funds on hand and its available funding sources.

Bally’s stockholders owning 17.9 million outstanding shares elected to retain their Bally’s stock by means of a rollover election and continue as stockholders of Bally’s.
