Item 5. Other.
Harveys Casino Resorts announced today that it has postponed the previously
announced private financing effort for the acquisition of Pinnacle
Entertainment, Inc. (f/k/a Hollywood Park, Inc.) The merger agreement relating
to such acquisition has not been terminated, and remains in full force and
effect. Harveys intends to continue to evaluate the prospects for the
transaction, but cannot assure that a transaction will be consummated.
As a result, Harveys is terminating the cash tender offers and consent
solicitations by its subsidiaries, with respect to approximately $150 million of
Harvey's 10-5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006, approximately $350 million
of Pinnacle's 9-1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 and approximately $125
million of Pinnacle's 9-1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007.
