Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

In connection with the transactions described below, Boyd Gaming Corporation (the “Company”) is making available to certain investors the information regarding the Company’s results of operations and financial condition set forth in Exhibit 99.1, which is incorporated by reference herein. This information is being “furnished” to the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Notes Offering

On October 26, 2010, the Company announced the offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 8-year senior notes (the “Notes”) in a private placement transaction, subject to market, regulatory and certain other conditions (the “Notes Offering”). The senior notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s current and future domestic restricted subsidiaries. The Company’s press release announcing the commencement of the Notes Offering is attached as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Notes Offering to finance the tender offer and related consent solicitation further discussed below. The Company intends to apply the balance of the net proceeds from the Notes Offering to repay a portion of the outstanding revolving balance on its bank credit facility and to potentially refinance other existing indebtedness. The Company could also use a portion of the net proceeds from the Notes Offering for general corporate purposes.

The Notes being offered have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or applicable state securities laws or blue sky laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or available exemptions from the registration requirements. This disclosure shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes.

Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation

On October 26, 2010, the Company also announced that it has commenced a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of its outstanding $158.832 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% senior subordinated notes due 2012 (CUSIP No. 10 3304 BB6) (the “7.75% Notes”). The Company also announced a concurrent consent solicitation for proposed amendments to the indenture, dated as of December 30, 2002, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, under which the Notes were issued (the “Indenture”). The proposed amendments would eliminate certain restrictive covenants from the Indenture.

The consummation of the tender offer for the 7.75% Notes and the consent solicitation are subject to the consummation of the Notes Offering, among the satisfaction of other conditions. The Company’s press release announcing the commencement of the tender offer and consent solicitation is attached as Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated herein by reference.


 

This disclosure is for information purposes only and is not an offer to purchase, a solicitation of acceptance of the offer to purchase or a solicitation of a consent with respect to any of the 7.75% Notes. The tender offer and the consent solicitation are being made pursuant to the tender offer and consent solicitation documents, which the Company is distributing to holders of 7.75% Notes. The tender offer and the consent solicitation are not being made to holders of 7.75% Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.

Additional Disclosures

In connection with the transactions discussed above, the Company is making available to certain investors the information set forth in Exhibit 99.4, which is incorporated by reference herein.
