Eldorado Resorts, Inc. Announces Receipt of Requisite Consents

Eldorado Resorts, Inc. (NASDAQ: ERI) (“Eldorado,” “ERI,” or “the Company”) announced today that it has obtained the required consents from holders of the Company’s 7% Senior Notes due 2023 (CUSIP Nos. 28470R AC6, 28470R AA0 and U2829L AA3) (the “Notes”) necessary to approve an amendment (the “Proposed Amendment”) to the indenture relating to the Notes (the “Indenture”), as set forth in the consent solicitation statement dated March 6, 2017 (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”).

Having received the requisite consents, holders will no longer be able to revoke their consents. In addition, the Company intends to execute a supplemental indenture with respect to the Notes containing the Proposed Amendment. The supplemental indenture will increase the ability of the Company to incur credit facility debt to permit the Company to fully utilize the borrowing capacity under a new $1.75 billion credit facility that the Company anticipates entering into in connection with its previously announced acquisition of Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. (“Isle”) and will bind all holders of the Notes, including those that did not give their consent, though non-consenting holders will not receive the Consent Payment (defined below). The consent solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 14, 2017. The Proposed Amendment will be effective for the Notes upon execution of the supplemental indenture, but will be operative only upon the payment of the Consent Payment and the consummation of the merger of Eagle I Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with and into Isle (the “Merger Condition”).

The Company will make a cash payment of $1.50 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the “Consent Payment”) to each holder of record as of the close of business on March 3, 2017 who validly delivered a duly executed consent at or prior to the Expiration Time (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Statement) and who did not revoke that consent in accordance with the procedures described in the Consent Solicitation Statement, if the conditions to the Consent Payment described in the Consent Solicitation Statement, including the Merger Condition, are satisfied or, where possible, waived. The Consent Payment will be made concurrently with satisfaction of the Merger Condition.

This announcement is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. The Solicitation was made solely pursuant to the Consent Solicitation Statement, which set forth the complete terms of the Solicitation. Questions regarding the Solicitation may be directed to J.P.
