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

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.

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

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.
11 CHAIR LEVINSON: Thank you.
12 Mr. Adams?
13 MR. ADAMS: Mr. Chairman, you have our

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.

3 Commissioners, do you have any questions
4 for counsel?
5 VICE CHAIR HARRINGTON: No.
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

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,
