Full House Resorts Announces New Leadership for Rising Star Casino Resort

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Full House Resorts, Inc. (Nasdaq: FLL) (the “Company”) today announced that it has named Jeff Michie as vice president and general manager of its Rising Star Casino Resort in Rising Sun, Indiana, subject to customary gaming approvals. Mr. Michie will replace Angi Truebner-Webb who, as previously reported, will become the general manager of the Company’s Silver Slipper Casino Hotel in Hancock County, Mississippi.

Mr. Michie joins Rising Star from Casino del Sol, a large casino resort in Tucson, Arizona. As the chief financial officer of Casino del Sol, Mr. Michie oversaw the property’s finance, surveillance and golf course departments. Mr. Michie has also served in senior management positions at several casinos that directly compete with Rising Star, including as the senior vice president of operations and finance of Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati, and as assistant general manager and CFO for Belterra Casino Resort & Spa. During his extensive career, Mr. Michie has also served as general manager for several properties, including the Belle of Baton Rouge Casino & Hotel in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the Horizon Casino & Hotel in Vicksburg, Mississippi. He earned his bachelor’s degree in finance and public administration from San Diego State University. He has also been a long-time resident of nearby Lawrenceburg, Indiana.

In connection with his hiring, the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved a grant of an inducement equity award of 19,921 restricted shares to Mr. Michie. Subject to his continuing service through the vesting dates, one-third of the total number of shares granted will vest on each of November 11, 2025, 2026, and 2027, the anniversary dates of Mr. Michie’s commencement of employment and the grant of restricted shares.

Additionally, in connection with their hirings, the Compensation Committee approved grants of inducement equity awards to two additional employees: Kimberly Bender and Katelynn May were each granted 4,107 restricted shares. For both Ms. Bender and Ms. May, one-third of the total number of shares granted will vest on each of November 12, 2025, 2026, and 2027, subject to their continuing service through the vesting dates, which are the anniversary dates of the grants of restricted shares.

The awards were granted outside of the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and were approved by the Compensation Committee in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) as a material inducement to the above individuals’ entry into employment with the Company.
