UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information presents the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 and unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and for the year ended December 31, 2017 based upon the consolidated historical financial statements of Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, which are collectively referred to as “Pinnacle.”

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet presents the financial position of Pinnacle as of June 30, 2018 after giving effect to the divestitures of Ameristar Casino Kansas City, LLC, d/b/a Ameristar Kansas City, Ameristar St. Charles, LLC, d/b/a Ameristar St. Charles, Belterra Resort Indiana, LLC, d/b/a Belterra Resort, and PNK (Ohio), LLC, d/b/a Belterra Park (the “Divested Properties”) (the “Divestitures”) as if the Divestitures occurred as of June 30, 2018.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared based upon currently available information and assumptions deemed appropriate by Pinnacle’s management and is provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the Divestitures had been completed as of the dates set forth above, nor is it indicative of the future results or current financial conditions that may result from the Divestitures.

PINNACLE ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the Divestitures, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income, expected to impact results. The pro forma adjustments have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the Divestitures and certain other adjustments.

This information should be read in conjunction with Pinnacle’s historical financial statements and accompanying notes in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, as filed with the SEC on August 7, 2018. All pro forma adjustments and their underlying assumptions are described more fully in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Note 2. Divestitures

The Divested Properties were purchased by Boyd as part of the Pinnacle merger with Penn National. The unaudited financial condensed consolidated information reflects the effect of the Divestitures on assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses directly attributable to the Divested Properties and removes acquisition expenses related to the Divestitures. The aggregate purchase price for the Divestitures is approximately $621.2 million, subject to certain final adjustments.
