Item 7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure.
Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI) (NASDAQ: CHDN), announced today that it intends to commence a tack-on offering, subject to market and customary conditions, of an additional $250 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.375% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Additional Notes”) beginning on December 2, 2015. The Additional Notes will be issued under the indenture pursuant to which CDI previously issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2021, all of which remain outstanding. The Additional Notes will be offered in a private offering that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Additional Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of CDI and will be guaranteed by each of CDI’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its senior secured credit facility.

CDI expects to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay a portion of its outstanding borrowings, and accrued and unpaid interest outstanding under its senior secured credit facility and for general corporate purposes, which may include paying the anticipated earn out obligation in March 2016 related to our Big Fish Games acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses.

The foregoing description of the press release does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the press release, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 9.01 and is incorporated herein by reference.

This information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibit relating hereto, is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed “filed” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
