MGE NIAGARA RESORTS
MGE NIAGARA RESORTS:
In September 2018, MGE Niagara was selected by the OLG to be the service provider for the MGE Niagara Resorts. Following its selection, MGE Niagara entered into a Transition and Asset Purchase Agreement with the OLG and the Ontario Gaming Assets Corporation. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, MGE Niagara agreed to acquire certain assets associated with the MGE Niagara Resorts and to perform certain transition activities in order to facilitate the transition of the operational responsibilities from the previous operator to MGE Niagara.
On the Closing Date, MGE Niagara completed the Acquisition, assumed the day-to-day operations of the properties under the terms of the COSA and engaged in a series of transactions related thereto, including the following:
Entered into a lease agreement with the OLG to lease the Fallsview Casino Resort and related administrative office space. This lease agreement requires MGE Niagara to make monthly payments of 2.2 million Canadian dollars ($1.7 million as of September 30, 2019) until the end of the lease term on March 31, 2040. This lease is classified as an operating lease in accordance with guidance provided by ASC 840.
Entered into a lease agreement with a third-party investor to lease Casino Niagara and related license agreements to operate an adjacent parking lot and the right for patrons to use an adjacent parking garage. The lease agreement requires MGE Niagara to make monthly payments of approximately 500,000 Canadian dollars (approximately $378,000 as of September 30, 2019) until the end of the lease term on March 31, 2040 in exchange for the rights under the lease and licenses. The present value of the future payments was allocated to the respective rights based upon their relative fair value and, in accordance with guidance provided by ASC 840 and ASC Topic 360, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other”, accounted for as follows: (i) 36.9 million Canadian dollars ($27.9 million as of September 30, 2019) represents the Casino Niagara lease, which is classified as a capital lease, (ii) 6.9 million Canadian dollars ($5.2 million as of September 30, 2019) represents an intangible asset, which is being amortized over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis and (iii) the residual allocation of the lease payments is classified as an operating land lease.
Committed to enter into a lease agreement with a third-party to lease the Niagara Falls Entertainment Centre following the completion of its construction, both of which are expected to occur in 2020. Rental payments are still to be determined. The Company is deemed, for accounting purposes only, to be the owner of this construction project, despite not being the legal owner. Accordingly, the Company capitalized 119.6 million Canadian dollars ($90.3 million as of September 30, 2019) for amounts paid as a build-to-suit asset within property and equipment, net and recorded a corresponding build-to-suit liability.
The purchase price of the Acquisition was approximately 96 million Canadian dollars (approximately $72 million), net of cash acquired of approximately 57 million Canadian dollars (approximately $43 million). MGE Niagara funded the Acquisition with proceeds from borrowings under a 100.0 million Canadian dollar term loan facility, the issuance of a 40.0 million Canadian dollar convertible debenture to a third-party investor and a 60.0 million Canadian dollar investment by the Company (refer to Note 9). The Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of a business under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with guidance provided by ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”.
While no material adjustments are expected, the purchase price allocation is not final. This allocation will be finalized during the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2020. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on June 11, 2019 (in thousands):
