Item 5.01.

Change in Control of Registrant

2The information set forth in the Introduction, Item 5.02 and Item 5.03 is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.

The exchange ratio for the transaction is 0.089872. Accordingly, at 1:01 p.m., New York City time, on March 28, 2019 (the “Merger Effective Time”), each share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”) and Class A common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Class A Common Stock” and, together with the Common Stock, the “Company Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (other than shares held in the treasury of the Company or owned by Twin River or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company or Twin River) were cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.089872 shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable common stock of Twin River, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares. As an example, for each 1,000 shares of Company Stock, a Dover Downs shareholder will receive 89 shares of Twin River common stock, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares. As a result, Twin River will issue 2,977,100 shares of common stock in connection with the Merger, and have 41,070,920 shares of common stock outstanding following the Merger.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 and 2.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
