On October 25, 2006, Boyd Gaming Corporation (the "Company"), through its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary Coast Hotels and Casinos, Inc. ("Coast"), completed the previously announced disposition of the assets constituting the South Coast Hotel and Casino (the "South Coast") in Las Vegas, Nevada to Michael J. Gaughan (the "Buyer"). The material terms of the transaction, as set forth in the Unit Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated July 25, 2006, as amended, between the Company, Coast, Silverado South Strip, LLC and the Buyer, were previously disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 31, 2006 (the "July 31^st 8-K"). The July 31^st 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

The Buyer was previously a member of the Company's board of directors, as well as a member of the boards of directors of Coast and the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Coast Casinos, Inc. ("Coast Parent"), the parent of Coast. The Buyer was also previously the Chief Executive Officer of Coast Parent and an executive officer of Coast. The Buyer resigned from each of the aforementioned positions on September 6, 2006, but remained the chief executive officer of the South Coast through the completion of the disposition.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, at the closing the Buyer paid the Company approximately $401 million in cash and surrendered a promissory note with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $112 million for cancellation and application to the purchase price. As previously disclosed, the promissory note was issued by the Company to the Buyer in exchange for 3,447,501 shares of the Company's common stock owned by the Buyer. The terms of the promissory note were previously disclosed in the July 31^st 8-K. The aggregate consideration paid is subject to adjustment pursuant to cash and working capital provisions in the Agreement. The consideration paid in the transaction was determined by arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Buyer.
