Item 7.01.  Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

Attached and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of the press release of Station Casinos, Inc. (“Station” or the “Company”), dated February 3, 2009, announcing the Company’s estimates of its financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008.

 

Item 8.01.  Other Events.

 

On February 3, 2009, the Company announced that affiliates of the Fertitta family and Colony Capital have committed, as part of an overall restructuring proposal, to contribute in the aggregate up to $244 million in cash if an acceptable agreement is reached with all of the Company’s lending constituents.  The Company announced that it is soliciting from eligible institutional holders of its existing senior and senior subordinated  notes ballots for a vote in favor of a plan of reorganization under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  Holders would receive under the proposed plan a combination of secured notes and cash in exchange for their outstanding notes.

 

The Company also announced that it elected not to make a scheduled $14.6 million interest payment that was due on February 1, 2009, as it is launching the proposed restructuring plan.  The Company noted that as of January 31, 2009, it had approximately $350 million of cash on hand to pay expenses, fund operations and maintain its business interests and properties.
