The sale price is equal to approximately 8.5X EBITDA for Club Fortune for the trailing twelve months ended April 30, 2018.
The transaction, which received lender consent, is subject to customary closing conditions, including approvals of the Nevada Gaming Control Board and Commission, and is expected to close in late 2018.
Following the consummation of the Club Fortune sale, Nevada Gold intends to close its Las Vegas corporate office and move its corporate headquarters to its Washington Gold office in the Seattle, Washington area. The Company expects to reduce its corporate overhead by approximately $1.2 million as a result.
William Sherlock, Chairman of Nevada Gold, stated: "This transaction is a part of our continuing program to maximize value for shareholders. We continue to review strategic options, including the review of alternatives for the use of the cash proceeds from the sale of Club Fortune, which could involve, among other things, repayment of debt, the return of some or all of the cash to shareholders through a special dividend and/or self-tender offer."
