Acquisitions | Note 3 – Acquisition Overview On October 20, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of American for aggregate consideration of $787.6 million in cash (after giving effect to post-closing adjustments) and the issuance by the Company of approximately 4.0 million shares of its common stock to W2007/ACEP Holdings, LLC (“ACEP Holdings”), a former American equity holder. The fair value of the Company’s common stock issued to ACEP Holdings was $101.5 million, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on October 20, 2017 of $25.08 per share. Acquisition Method of Accounting The American Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under ASC 805, the purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The Company has allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimates of their fair values as determined by the Company based on its judgment with assistance from preliminary third party appraisals. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with a corresponding offset to goodwill and will allocate goodwill to each of the business segments at the conclusion of the measurement period. The determination of the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities (and the related determination of estimated lives of depreciable tangible and identifiable intangible assets) requires significant judgment. The Company has not yet completed its valuation analysis and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to finalize the determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, along with the related allocations of goodwill and intangible assets. The final fair value determinations are expected to be completed no later than the fourth quarter of 2018. The final fair value determinations may be significantly different than those reflected in the consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Pro Forma Combined Financial Information The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared by management for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the results of operations, financial condition or other financial information of the Company would have been if the American Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2016, or what such results or financial condition will be for any future periods. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based on preliminary estimates and assumptions and on the information available at the time of the preparation thereof. These preliminary estimates and assumptions may change, be revised or prove to be materially different, and the estimates and assumptions may not be representative of facts existing at the time of the American Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not reflect non-recurring charges that will be incurred in connection with the American Acquisition, nor any cost savings and synergies expected to result from the American Acquisition (and associated costs to achieve such savings or synergies), nor any costs associated with severance, restructuring or integration activities resulting from the American Acquisition. The following table summarizes certain unaudited pro forma combined financial information derived from a combination of the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and of American for the three months ended March 31 2017, adjusted to give effect to the American Acquisition, related transactions (including the refinancing), and the adoption of ASC 606.
