Boyd Gaming (BYD) completed the divestiture of its 5% equity stake in FanDuel for $1.758 billion cash on 31 July 2025, as disclosed in this Form 8-K (Item 2.01).
Simultaneously, the parties terminated prior partnership agreements and executed new ones: (i) Boyd will grant FanDuel fixed-fee, long-term market-access rights for online sports wagering and i-gaming; (ii) the 19 FanDuel-branded retail sportsbooks at Boyd properties will be re-branded and operated solely by Boyd, while continuing to use FanDuel data feeds.
The deal delivers immediate, material liquidity, enhances strategic flexibility for debt pay-down, buybacks or expansion, and gives Boyd full control of in-property sportsbook margins. No pro-forma financials or updated guidance were included. A confirming press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 (Item 7.01, not filed).
