Item 8.01.  Other Events.

 

On July 24, 2012, Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it had commenced and priced an offering (the “Offering”) of $350 million of 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”).  The 2020 Notes will be issued at par. The Offering is scheduled to close on August 7, 2012, subject to customary closing conditions.  The 2020 Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s senior secured credit facility. The 2020 Notes are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States in compliance with Regulation S of the Securities Act.

 

Concurrently with the Offering, the Company announced that it had commenced a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of its outstanding 7% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”) and a solicitation of consents to certain proposed amendments to the related indenture for a total consideration of $1,003.00 (which includes a consent payment of $20.00) for each $1,000 principal amount of 2014 Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn before the consent expiration time, which is expected to be 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 6, 2012.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with cash on hand, to fund (i) the Tender Offer, (ii) the redemption of any and all 2014 Notes that remain outstanding following consummation of the Tender Offer and (iii) the payment of related fees and expenses.  Any remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

 

The 2020 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, any other federal securities laws or the securities laws of any jurisdiction, and until so registered, the 2020 Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States to, or for the account or benefit of, any United States person except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.

 

These announcements were contained in press releases, copies of which are filed under Item 9.01 hereto as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
