P a g e | 1 Licenses in Other Jurisdictions Gaming Licenses Issued Neither the Applicant nor the Manager has ever had a gaming-related license denied, suspended, withdrawn or revoked and there is no pending proceeding against either the Applicant or the Manager that could lead to any of those conditions. The parent company of the Applicant is Caesars Acquisition Company (“CAC”), and the parent company of the Manager is Caesars Entertainment Corporation (“CEC”). CAC, CEC and their respective affiliates are licensed in numerous locations in the United States and internationally and hold licenses / permits / registrations in those jurisdictions requiring such approvals. None of (i) CAC, (ii) CEC, or (iii) any of their respective subsidiaries has ever had a gaming-related license suspended, denied, revoked or withdrawn by a regulatory body. In addition, investment funds affiliated with Apollo Global Management, LLC and TPG Capital own minority equity interests in each of CEC and CAC, and individuals associated with Apollo and TPG control a majority of the voting stock of each of CEC and CAC through an entity called Hamlet Holdings LLC. None of (i) Apollo, (ii) TPG, or Hamlet Holdings LLC has ever had a gaming-related license denied, suspended, withdrawn or revoked, and there is no pending proceeding against any of those entities that could lead to any of those conditions. Attached please find a Gaming-Related License List showing all licenses or other approvals held by CAC and CEC (and/or their respective subsidiaries), Apollo, TPG and Hamlet Holdings LLC (Attachment VIII.A.14.a_A1). Voluntarily Withdrawn Application: In January 2013, CEC, Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc., (“CEOC”), certain special purpose Caesars entities, and several individuals and entities affiliated with the Caesars companies or with their sponsors (all collectively, the “Caesars affiliates”) submitted information as qualifiers to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission in connection with a gaming license application submitted by Sterling Suffolk Racecourse, LLC (“Sterling Suffolk”). The Caesars affiliates subsequently withdrew as qualifiers following a recommendation by the Commission’s investigative bureau that Caesars Entertainment Corporation not be found suitable. The recommendation purported to be based on several factors, particularly the alleged conduct of an investor in a hotel chain with which Caesars at one point had a licensing agreement. The Caesars affiliates withdrew because the MA Gaming Commission refused to allow sufficient time to prepare for a suitability hearing, and at the request of its partners in the Suffolk Downs proposal, whose public referendum was only 16 days away. Caesars holds more gaming licenses in more jurisdictions than any other gaming operator, and strongly disagreed with the recommendation of the investigative bureau, whose standards appeared to differ materially among various applicants.
