Calder Land Sale CALDER LAND SALE
On June 17, 2022, the Company closed on the previously announced sale of 115.7 acres of excess land near Calder Casino for $291.0 million (or approximately $2.5 million per acre) to Link Logistics, a Blackstone portfolio company. The Company received cash proceeds of $279.0 which was net of $12.0 million of transaction costs. We recognized a gain of $274.6 million on the sale of the land, which is included in other income (expense) in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The gain consisted of cash proceeds of $279.0 million offset by the carrying value of the assets sold of $4.4 million.
The Company is planning on using certain proceeds of the sale to purchase property as part of the previously announced Peninsula Pacific Entertainment LLC ("P2E") acquisition and to invest in other replacement properties that qualify as Internal Revenue Code §1031 transactions to defer the federal income tax on the gain on the Calder land sale. The Company has identified two reverse like-kind transactions for property acquired prior to the sale of the Calder land and a forward like-kind exchange transaction to acquire additional property for the Internal Revenue Code §1031 transactions.
The Company is utilizing a qualified intermediary to facilitate these transactions. The proceeds from the sale have been transferred to the qualified intermediary and are classified as restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The funds will remain with the qualified intermediary and will be released: (i) if the funds are utilized as part of a like-kind exchange agreement, (ii) if the Company does not identify a suitable replacement property within 45 days after the agreement date, or (iii) when a like-kind exchange agreement is not completed within the allowable time period.
The Company has completed one reverse like-kind exchange in June 2022 involving our $9.9 million investment in real property for the Derby City Gaming Downtown facility in Louisville, Kentucky.
The second reverse like-kind exchange will involve our investment in real property for the Queen of Terre Haute Casino Resort ("Queen of Terre Haute") property in Terre Haute, Indiana. An exchange accommodation titleholder (“EAT”), a type of variable interest entity, was used to facilitate this reverse like-kind exchange. As of June 30, 2022, $10.0 million had been invested in real property for the Queen of Terre Haute which will be held by the EAT until the exchange transaction is complete. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the EAT, thus the property held by the EAT has been consolidated and recorded in property and equipment, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company plans to make additional investments in real property for the Queen of Terre Haute and expects to complete this reverse like-kind exchange in fourth quarter 2022.
The Company is planning on utilizing the remainder of the proceeds from the Calder sale to execute a forward like-kind exchange transaction by purchasing property as part of the previously announced acquisition of P2E. The Company anticipates closing the P2E acquisition prior to the end of 2022. If the acquisition of replacement property is not completed within 180 days of the Calder land sale, the proceeds will be distributed to the Company by the qualified intermediary and reclassified as available cash, and all applicable income taxes will be assessed on the remaining gain that was not deferred by acquiring replacement property.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $77.9 million in current income taxes payable related to the Calder land sale. Upon completion of the P2E acquisition, the current tax liability will be reclassified as a deferred tax liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
As of December 31, 2021, the assets sold as part of the Calder sale were classified as held for sale on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Calder's operations and assets are included in the Gaming segment in our consolidated results.
