Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (NASDAQ:GLPI) ("GLPI") and Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:PNK) ("Pinnacle") today announced that the companies have successfully completed the previously announced transactions pursuant to which GLPI has acquired substantially all of Pinnacle's real estate assets.

The acquisition was effected through a series of transactions, including the spin-off (the "Spin-Off") of Pinnacle's operating business, real property of Belterra Park Gaming and Entertainment Center and certain undeveloped land from the former Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc.

Shares of Pinnacle common stock will begin "regular-way" trading tomorrow, April 29, 2016, and will assume Former Pinnacle's symbol "PNK" on NASDAQ.
