New Jersey regulatory review could become a focus following the CZR/Fertitta transaction.

Upon closing, the combined entity would control four of the state's nine casino licenses and

approximately 25% of New Jersey's land-based GGR. We believe there is a possibility that state

regulators could require the divestiture of one property as part of the approval process. In our

view, growing gaming supply in neighboring states has reduced the strategic appeal of Atlantic City

assets, which could complicate a potential sale.
