Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

 

This Schedule 13D (the “Statement”) relating to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Empire Resorts, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Empire” or the “Issuer”), is filed (i) as Amendment No. 32 to amend and supplement the Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D”) filed by Kien Huat Realty III Limited (“Kien Huat”) and Lim Kok Thay with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 27, 2009, as previously amended, (ii) as Amendment No. 1 to amend and supplement the Schedule 13D filed by Genting Berhad (“Genting Berhad”), Genting Malaysia Berhad (“GenM”) and Genting (USA) Limited (“Gen USA”), on November 4, 2019 with the SEC and (iii) by Hercules Topco LLC (“Parent,” together with Kien Huat, Lim Kok Thay, Genting Berhad, GenM and Gen USA, the “Reporting Persons”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at c/o Monticello Raceway, Route 17B, Monticello, NY 12701. All capitalized terms used in this Statement and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

 

This statement is being filed jointly on behalf of the Reporting Persons. The agreement among the Reporting Persons to file this Statement jointly in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is attached hereto as Exhibit 33.

 

Set forth in Schedule 1 to this Statement are the name, business address and present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each member of the board of directors and corporate executive officer of Parent.

 

Hercules Topco LLC

 

Hercules Topco LLC (“Parent”) is a Delaware limited liability company, in which Gen USA currently holds a 49% membership interest and Kien Huat currently holds a 51% membership interest. Parent has not carried on any activities to date, except for activities incidental to its formation, in connection with the financing of the Merger (as defined below) and as otherwise contemplated by the Merger Agreement (as defined below). Upon completion of the Merger (as defined below), Parent will hold all Common Stock.

 

The address of Parent is:

 

c/o Genting Malaysia Berhad

24th Floor, Wisma Genting

Jalan Sultan Ismail

50250 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

 

 

During the last five years, neither Parent nor, to the knowledge of Parent, any of the persons listed on Schedule 1 hereto (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

As more fully described in Item 4 hereof, on November 15, 2019, the merger of Hercules Merger Subsidiary Inc. (“Merger Sub”) with and into the Issuer was consummated, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, (i) Gen USA contributed 13,200,000 shares of Common Stock to Parent and Kien Huat contributed 15,714,606 shares of Common Stock to Parent and (ii) Gen USA contributed an amount of cash equal to 49% of the aggregate amount payable by Parent pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 18, 2019, by and among the Issuer, Merger Sub and Parent (the “Merger Agreement”) plus $9,429,839.44 and Kien Huat contributed an amount of cash equal to 51% of the aggregate amount payable by Parent pursuant to the Merger Agreement less $9,429,839.44. The aggregate merger consideration to be paid to the holders of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (including the holders of restricted stock units and shares of restricted Common Stock) in connection with the Merger is approximately $58 million, not including any fees and expenses paid pursuant thereto. Funds contributed by GenM came from the working capital of GenM and funds contributed by Kien Huat came from the working capital of Kien Huat. The $9,429,839.44 was contributed to Parent by Gen USA, and deducted from Kien Huat’s contribution, in order for Gen USA to maintain a membership interest of 49%, assuming that all shares of Common Stock contributed to Parent had a value of $9.74 per share. No borrowed funds were used to purchase the Common Stock, other than any borrowed funds used for working capital purposes in the ordinary course of business.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

On November 13, 2019, Issuer held a special meeting of its stockholders (“Special Meeting”) to approve a proposal to adopt the previously disclosed Merger Agreement. At the Special Meeting, the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement was approved by the affirmative vote of both (i) holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), and Series F Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series F Preferred Stock”), voting as a single class, entitled to vote thereon as of the record date of the Special Meeting, voting as one class, and (ii) holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, that were not owned by Kien Huat, GenM, their respective affiliates or any officer or director of the Issuer, entitled to vote thereon as of the record date of the Special Meeting, voting as one class.

 

 

On November 15, 2019, the Issuer completed the merger contemplated by the terms of the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub was merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving entity after the merger (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of the Issuer’s Common Stock (other than any Rollover Shares, Canceled Shares or Dissenting Shares, as defined below) was converted into the right to receive $9.74 in cash, without interest (the “Common Merger Consideration”), and each issued and outstanding share of the Issuer’s Series B Preferred Stock (other than Rollover Shares, Canceled Shares or Dissenting Shares) was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of the Common Merger Consideration, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series B Preferred Stock was convertible (the “Series B Merger Consideration”). In addition, as part of the Merger, (i) shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock or Series F Preferred Stock, owned by Kien Huat, GenM or their respective affiliates (the “Rollover Shares”) remain outstanding, (ii) shares of Common Stock or any series of the Issuer’s Preferred Stock owned by the Issuer or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries were canceled (the “Canceled Shares”) and (iii) shares owned by any stockholder who properly exercised appraisal rights under Delaware law (the “Dissenting Shares”) now entitle the holder thereof only to such appraisal rights.

 

Immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, (i) Gen USA contributed 13,200,000 shares of Common Stock to Parent and Kien Huat contributed 15,714,606 shares of Common Stock to Parent and (ii) Gen USA contributed an amount of cash equal to 49% of the aggregate amount payable by Parent pursuant to the Merger Agreement plus $9,429,839.44 and Kien Huat contributed an amount of cash equal to 51% of the aggregate amount payable by Parent pursuant to the Merger Agreement less $9,429,839.44. The $9,429,839.44 was contributed to Parent by Gen USA, and deducted from Kien Huat’s contribution, in order for Gen USA to maintain a membership interest of 49%, assuming that all shares of Common Stock contributed to Parent had a value of $9.74 per share.

 

As a result of the Merger, each share of the Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Rollover Shares) was automatically converted into the right to receive the Common Merger Consideration or Series B Merger Consideration, as applicable, and ceased to exist or be outstanding. In addition, as a result of the Merger, all shares of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time were converted into 5,523,691 shares of Common Stock, representing the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Rollover Shares and Canceled Shares) assuming conversion of all Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock. Following the consummation of the Merger, Parent holds 34,438,297 shares of Common Stock, representing 100% of the outstanding Common Stock. Kien Huat currently owns 100% of the issued and outstanding Series F Preferred Stock.

 

Additionally, as a result of the Merger, the Common Stock ceased trading on the NASDAQ Global Market upon the close of trading on November 15, 2019, and became eligible for termination of registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The Company requested that NASDAQ file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a notification on Form 25 to report the delisting of the Company Common Stock from NASDAQ and to deregister the Company Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. The Company also intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 requesting that the Company’s reporting obligations under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be terminated or suspended.

The disclosure set forth under Item 4 of this Statement is incorporated herein by reference.

 

(a-b) As of the date hereof, the Genting Berhad, GenM, Gen USA and Parent may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of 34,438,297 shares of Common Stock, representing 100.0% of the Issuer’s Common Stock.
