Dwayne Alan Moyers's questions to Full House Resorts Inc (FLL) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Asked about alternative financing options for the permanent casino if the bond market remains challenging and the likelihood of getting a legislative extension for the temporary facility.
Answer
Executives are confident they could get a legislative extension to operate the temporary facility longer if needed, as the state would not want to lose the tax revenue and jobs. While they expect the bond market to open up, alternative financing options include a pre-arranged backup facility with a private equity firm, a sale-leaseback (REIT) transaction, or a joint venture, though these are less desirable. They stated they will not issue equity at current price levels. Importantly, there is no deadline to open the permanent casino, only a deadline to close the temporary one, so the license is not at risk.
