TERMINATION OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT. |
On November 19, 2007, Gaylord Entertainment Company (“GEC”) entered into an Agreement of
Purchase and Sale (the “Purchase Agreement”), with LCWW Partners, a Texas joint venture, and La
Cantera Development Company, a Delaware corporation (collectively, “Sellers”), as amended on
January 21, 2008 (the “Amendment”). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, GEC agreed to
acquire the assets related to the Westin La Cantera Resort, located in San Antonio, Texas, as well
as approximately 90 acres of undeveloped land adjacent thereto. The terms of the Purchase Agreement
were previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on November 26, 2007. The terms of the Amendment were previously disclosed in a Current
Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 22, 2008.
On April 15, 2008, as permitted by the Amendment, GEC terminated the Purchase Agreement on the
basis that GEC did not obtain financing satisfactory to it. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase
Agreement and the Amendment, the $10,000,000 deposit previously paid by GEC to Sellers has been
retained by the Sellers.
