The directors of REI are the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board, Gary L. Carano, its Chief Executive Officer and Board member, Thomas R. Reeg, and its former Senior Vice President of Regional Operations, Gene Carano. In addition, Gary L. Carano also serves as the Vice President of REI and Gene Carano also serves as the Secretary and Treasurer of REI. Members of the Carano family, including Gary L. Carano and Gene Carano, own the equity interests in REI. As such, the Carano family has the ability to significantly influence the affairs of the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no related party transactions between the Company and the Carano family other than compensation, including salary and equity incentives, and the CSY Lease listed below.

C. S. & Y. Associates

The Company owns the entire parcel on which Eldorado Reno is located, except for approximately 30,000 square feet which is leased from C. S. & Y. Associates (“CSY”) which is an entity partially owned by REI (the “CSY Lease”). The CSY Lease expires on June 30, 2057. Rent pursuant to the CSY Lease is $0.6 million annually and paid quarterly during the year. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no amounts due to or from CSY. As a result of the impact of COVID-19 on Eldorado Reno’s revenues due to the closure of the casino in March 2020, an amendment was executed to defer rental payments for a portion of 2020, not to exceed three months, until 2021 and 2022.
