SCHEDULE 13D

 

Item 1.                                                         Security and Issuer

 

The Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 9, 2010 by Beckton Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Beckton”), Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P., a Delaware partnership (“Icahn Enterprises Holdings”), Icahn Enterprises G.P. Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Icahn Enterprises GP”), and Carl C. Icahn, a citizen of the United States of America (“Mr. Icahn”), as previously amended by Amendments No. 1 through No. 15 thereto (collectively, as amended, the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), issued by Tropicana Entertainment Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), is hereby amended to furnish the additional information set forth herein.  Beckton, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP and Mr. Icahn are referred to herein collectively as the “Reporting Persons.”  All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.                                                         Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby further amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

 

Consummation of the Transactions Contemplated by Real Estate Purchase Agreement and Merger Agreement

 

As previously disclosed, on April 15, 2018, the Issuer entered into (i) the Real Estate Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Real Estate Purchase Agreement”) with GLP Capital, L.P., a Pennsylvania limited partnership (“GLP”), and (ii) the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Eldorado Resorts, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parent”), Delta Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and GLP, pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to sell its real estate assets to GLP and its gaming and hotel operations to Parent.

 

On October 1, 2018, the transactions contemplated by the Real Estate Purchase Agreement and the Merger Agreement were consummated, including the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation following the merger (the “Merger”).

 

As a result of the Merger, the Issuer has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.  Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding Share held by the Reporting Persons was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive $75.14 (without interest).  As a result of the foregoing and as of the effective time of the Merger, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any Shares.

 

Item 5.                                                         Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(a)                                 As of the date hereof and as a result of the Merger, the Reporting Persons do not beneficially own any Shares.

 

(b)                                 As of the date hereof and as a result of the Merger, the Reporting Persons do not beneficially own any Shares.

 

(c)                                  Except as described in Item 4 above, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions with respect to the Shares within the past 60 days.

 

(d)                                 Not applicable.

 

(e)                                  As of the date hereof and as a result of the Merger, the Reporting Persons do not beneficially own any Shares.

 

Item 6.                                                         Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

 

The information set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.
