On December 20, 2012, Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (“Pinnacle”), PNK Holdings, Inc., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Pinnacle (“HoldCo”), PNK Development 32, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Pinnacle (“Merger Sub”), and Ameristar, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended by that certain First Amendment, entered into on February 1, 2013 (the “First Amendment”) and that certain Second Amendment, entered into on March 14, 2013 (the “Second Amendment”, and as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, the “Merger Agreement”)), pursuant to which (i) Merger Sub would be merged with and into Ameristar, with Ameristar surviving as a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Pinnacle, or (ii) alternately, at Pinnacle’s election, under certain circumstances and under an alternative merger structure, (x) HoldCo would be merged with and into Ameristar with Ameristar as the surviving corporation (the “Alternative Merger”), and (y) immediately thereafter, Ameristar would merge with and into Pinnacle with Pinnacle as the surviving corporation (the “Post-Effective Merger” and together with the Alternative Merger, the “Merger”).
