Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On June 10, 2013, Century Casinos, Inc. announced that the Company applied for a casino license at Hotel InterContinental in Vienna, Austria. In addition, on June 6, 2013 Century Casinos, Inc. subsidiary Century Casinos Europe GmbH purchased a contingent 26% share in the newly established “Century Betriebs AG”, which would own and operate the casino. The purchase price for the shares sale is 5.7 million EUR (approximately  $7.5 million USD based on the exchange rate in effect on June 5, 2013), and the purchase is contingent on the Company being granted the casino license.

 

A copy of the agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.7.

 

The Company is one of at least four companies applying for the 15-year license. The Company expects the Austrian Minister of Finance to reach a decision during the fourth quarter of 2013.  There is no assurance that the Austrian Minister of Finance will grant the license to the Company.

 

The Company expects Century Betriebs AG to invest approximately $18 million if the casino license is granted.  Century Betriebs AG would develop the casino in the InterContinental, Vienna.  After an anticipated nine-month construction period, the casino would offer approximately 300 slot machines and 25 gaming tables on a 16,000 square feet gaming floor. Hotel InterContinental is located in the city center of Vienna.
