Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 27, 2015, FHR-Colorado LLC, a Nevada limited-liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Full House Resorts, Inc. (“Full House” or the “Company”), entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Pioneer Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Pioneer Group”), pursuant to which Full House will acquire the operating assets and assume certain liabilities of Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel (“Bronco Billy’s”) in Cripple Creek, Colorado for a purchase price of $30.0 million. The purchase price is subject to reduction to $28.5 million if Bronco Billy’s Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for the applicable period is less than $4.7 million. The purchase price is also subject to working capital and other customary adjustments.

Full House intends to finance the acquisition concurrent with the refinancing of its outstanding first and second lien debt. The Company expects to complete its refinancing and close on the Bronco Billy’s acquisition in late 2015 or early 2016, subject to obtaining regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, including, without limitation, approvals from the Colorado gaming authorities. The transaction is not subject to a financing or due diligence condition, though the Company has performed substantial due diligence over the past several months.

Full House and Pioneer Group have made customary representations and warranties, which will generally survive for a period of twelve months following the closing of the transaction. Subject to certain limitations, the parties have rights to indemnification for breaches of representations and warranties, non-performance of their respective covenants, and third party claims. Ten percent of the adjusted purchase price will be deposited into escrow to secure Pioneer Group’s indemnification obligations to Full House. Pioneer Group has also agreed to various covenants contained in the Agreement, including, among other things, to continue to operate its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice, not to take certain actions prior to the closing of the transaction without the consent of Full House, and certain non-solicit and non-negotiation covenants.

In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, Full House made a non-refundable (except under certain conditions) deposit of $2.5 million (the “Deposit”) which will be credited against the purchase price upon closing. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by either party in certain circumstances, including by Pioneer Group if the closing has not taken place by January 15, 2016 (the “Outside Date”). Full House may extend the Outside Date for up to four periods of 30 days each if the sole reason the closing fails occur by the Outside Date is the failure of Full House to obtain gaming approval despite its good faith efforts and, for the fourth extension period, Full House increases the Deposit by $100,000. In addition, Full House has the option to terminate the Purchase Agreement without penalty if Bronco Billy’s Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent twelve-month period prior to closing is less than $4.5 million.

Regulation FD Disclosure

On September 28, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing the Purchase Agreement with Pioneer Group. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1
