11 (Laughter.)

12 MR. ADAMS: Nice. Nice.

13 VICE CHAIR HARRINGTON: Okay.

14 MS. FAUNTLEROY: Item No. 15 has been

15 adjourned.

16 FROM THE FLOOR: Thanks, Lloyd.


18 amended petition of Caesars Entertainment

19 Operating Company, Inc., Caesars Resorts

20 Properties, LLC, and Caesars Growth Partners,

21 LLC, for the qualification of Caesars

22 Enterprise Services, LLC.

23 Again, Assistant General Counsel Mary

24 Wozniak will review that with you.




1 ITEM NO. 16

2 MS. WOZNIAK: Chairman, Commissioners, I

3 have distributed a draft resolution.

4 Mr. O'Gara is here on behalf of the

5 Petitioners. And, again, Mr. Adams for the

6 Division.


8 Counsel, please enter your appearance?

9 MR. O'GARA: Yeah. Paul O'Gara from

10 Brownstein, Hyatt, Farber, Schreck for the

11 Petitioners.


13 MR. ADAMS: Jack Adams, Deputy Attorney

14 General, for the Division of Gaming

15 Enforcement.


17 Mr. O'Gara?

18 MR. O'GARA: Yes, sir. Good morning.


20 MR. O'GARA: The petition seeks the

21 qualification of Caesars Enterprise Services,

22 which is CES. Everything has initials.

23 Everything has names here so -- and they're

24 long. So if you don't mind, I'll use the

25 initials.



1 ITEM NO. 16

2 CES is an LLC which is owned by three

3 other Caesars companies, Caesars Entertainment

4 Corporation, CEC, which is the big Caesars at

5 the top, through its vehicle called CERP,

6 Caesars Entertainment Resorts Properties.

7 Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, which

8 is C-E-O-C or CEOC and Caesars Growth Partners.

9 All of these companies are all qualified

10 here in New Jersey. Every one of them operates

11 in New Jersey. It's one of two jurisdictions

12 in which every one operates.

13 CEOC is the owner and operator of

14 Bally's and Caesars. CERP is the operator of

15 Harrah's Atlantic City. And Caesars Growth

16 Partners is the owner of all but whatever Mr.

17 Gilbert is about to own, Caesars Interactive

18 Entertainment, which is CEI NJ, which operates

19 here as the internet affiliate of the casino

20 licensee.

21 This company will provide services to

22 all of these constituents of Caesars across

23 that platform. The services are, in many

24 cases, virtually identical to the services that

25 are provided presently by CEOC, the compliance



1 ITEM NO. 16

2 functions, the marketing functions, the

3 functions of the legal department, personal

4 services department. All of those will

5 transfer to CES rather than CEOC. They

6 transfer so that you have ownership of all of

7 the platforms that use those services. So you

8 have CEC, which directly owns through CERP, and

9 you have CEOC and you have CGP. Each of them

10 has an ownership interest. And CES, in

11 providing the services, then has the input of

12 all as it provides them.

13 How is it controlled? It's controlled

14 by each of them putting a representative on the

15 board of managers. There's three, and they are

16 the three decision makers. Each of them are

17 qualified individually. One for CERP is Gary

18 Loveman. For CEOC it's John Payne, who's the

19 CEO of CEOC. And for CGB it's Michael Cohen,

20 who is the person who I think most of you know,

21 who is the General Counsel and Executive Vice

22 President of CEP. They, in the event that

23 there's any type of decision, are the decision

24 makers. They vote. And as it is noted in the

25 Division report, most of it is a majority vote.



1 ITEM NO. 16

2 On certain things, it requires a unanimous

3 vote, to sell things, to dissolve the thing.

4 To do -- that requires unanimity.

5 As to the economics, one of the

6 questions anyone would ask is, well, there's

7 these management agreements that go on. And

8 there are management agreements in other

9 jurisdictions which pay money which goes to

10 CEOC. Under the agreement, all the money that

11 goes to CES passes through to CEOC. So there's

12 no economic impact in that management fees

13 which ordinarily would have been earned by CEOC

14 don't go to CEOC. So CEOC has no cash impact.

15 Each of them has, as do each of the

16 constituent companies, nonexclusive perpetual

17 rights to the Total Rewards system and the

18 intellectual property. The intellectual

19 property in Caesars is owned across a number of

20 platforms. Caesars IP, various companies.

21 Everybody through CES has the same rights to

22 and the use of all of those assets and all of

23 the systems.

24 So essentially what it does is provide a

25 delivery platform for all of these services



1 ITEM NO. 16

2 across one vehicle rather than CEOC doing it

3 across three vehicles. It doesn't involve any

4 different people. Doesn't involve any

5 different nonlicensed people. It simply is an

6 entity which is by all the qualified entities

7 now the vehicle through which they'll provide

8 the services.

9 So, be glad to answer any questions you

10 have.


12 Mr. Adams?


14 report dated September the 2nd where we have

15 outlined of what -- a lot of what O'Gara has

16 just recited to you about the nature of

17 these -- this situation.

18 Our investigation reveals that the

19 individuals and the companies are, in fact,

20 qualified, and we have said that in our report.

21 I have reviewed the draft resolution,


23 And I would be happy to answer any other

24 questions that you might have about this

25 matter.



1 ITEM NO. 16


3 Commissioners, do you have any questions

4 for counsel?


6 CHAIR LEVINSON: So Caesars

7 Entertainment Corp. is before us today seeking

8 a ruling that a new subsidiary, Caesars

9 Enterprise Services, LLC, is qualified as an

10 entity qualifier for the Caesars licensees and

11 that its parent and holding company, Caesars

12 Growth Parent, LLC, and Caesars Growth

13 Properties Holding, LLC, respectively, are also

14 qualified.

15 The question we are faced with is a very

16 simple one and has nothing to do with how

17 Caesars will utilize these new subsidiaries.

18 At present Caesars Enterprise Services, its

19 parent and holding companies, are corporations

20 owned by three other Caesars companies, all of

21 which previously had been found qualified.

22 In addition, Caesars has told us that

23 Caesars Enterprise Services will be managed and

24 operated by a steering committee, the members

25 of which are all individuals who have been



1 ITEM NO. 16

2 found qualified previously by this commission.

3 Through the amended petition and the

4 presentation here today, Caesars has presented

5 sufficient evidence, in my opinion, for us to

6 conclude that the three entities are qualified.

7 Having said that, this Commission does

8 not operate in a vacuum. We are aware of what

9 Caesars intend to do with the new subsidiary,

10 and it is spelled out in the filings of the SEC

11 and in the Division's report. We are also

12 aware of the pending litigation between Caesars

13 and some of the debt holders and the

14 allegations raised by the parties in that

15 litigation. But the propriety of what Caesars

16 plan to do with the new company is not an issue

17 before us today.

18 The New Jersey regulatory system has

19 very powerful investigative function within the

20 Division of Gaming Enforcement. I am confident

21 that the Division will monitor how Caesars uses

22 this new subsidiary and will determine whether

23 the company's actions in any way undermine the

24 suitability of the company and the financial

25 stability of the casinos here. If this occurs,



1 ITEM NO. 16

2 the Division will bring such issues back to

3 this commission for our review and any

4 appropriate future action.

5 Therefore, I will move to adopt the

6 draft resolution and find that Caesars

7 Enterprise Services, LLC, Caesars Growth

8 Properties Holding, LLC, and Caesars Growth

9 Properties Parent, LLC, qualify pursuant to

10 NJSA 5:12-85.1.

11 Do I have a second?

12 COMMISSIONER COOPER: Mr. Chairman, I'll

13 make that second.


15 (No response.)


17 vote.
