Item 3.02     Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
As previously disclosed, on July 31, 2015, Golden Entertainment, Inc. (the "Company") issued an aggregate of 8,229,908 shares of its common stock in connection with the merger (the "Merger") of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with and into Sartini Gaming, Inc. ("Sartini Gaming"), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 25, 2015, by and among the Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Sartini Gaming and The Blake L. Sartini and Delise F. Sartini Family Trust, as sole shareholder of Sartini Gaming (the "Sartini Trust"), as amended (the "Merger Agreement"). 7,772,736 of such shares of the Company's common stock were issued to the Sartini Trust as consideration in the Merger, and the remaining 457,172 shares were issued to certain former holders of warrants of a subsidiary of Sartini Gaming as consideration for the repurchase of such warrants by the Company in connection with the closing of the Merger.
On October 29, 2015, the post-closing "true-up" adjustment was completed under the Merger Agreement, resulting in an additional 223,657 shares of the Company's common stock being issuable to the Sartini Trust as consideration in the Merger.
The shares of Company common stock issuable in connection with the post-closing "true-up" adjustment described above will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration available under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, because the transaction did not involve a public offering. Appropriate investment representations were obtained and restrictive legends will be affixed to the share certificates evidencing such shares.
