PRESS RELEASE<br> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 20, 2021
BUTLER NATIONAL ACQUIRES ALL EQUITY INTEREST OF BOOT HLL CASINO MANAGER<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>Butler National subsidiary Butler National Service Corporation acquired all interest in Boot Hill Casino Manager, BHCMC, LLC

OLATHE, KANSAS, October 20, 2021, - Butler National Corporation (OTCQB: BUKS) a recognized provider of professional management services in the gaming industry, announces its subsidiary, Butler National Service Corporation (BNSC) closed on the purchase of the minority equity ownership interest in BHCMC, LLC, (BHCMC) that results in BNSC being the sole owner of BHCMC, manager of the Boot Hill Casino & Resort.

BNSC purchased the 2,000 Class A Preferred Membership Units from BHC Investment Company, LC for approximately $16.4 million including an allocation for taxes.  The Sale and Purchase of the Preferred Units in BHCMC, LLC makes BNSC the sole owner/member of BHCMC.

The purchase of the BHC Investment Company, LC interest was funded from company funds and $8.0 million of commercial bank debt.  The purchase transaction was approved by Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission on October 15, 2021, with an effective date for the ownership transfer of August 1, 2021 and a closing date of October 18, 2021.

The ownership of 100% of the equity combined with the December 2020 Building and Land purchase provide significant long-term benefits for BHCMC and BNSC.  These strategic transactions allow BHCMC to continue to grow with future development opportunities.  This equity purchase provides a clear path forward to achieve the mutual goals of BHCMC, BNSC, and the State of Kansas and ultimately benefit the shareholders of Butler National Corporation.

Clark Stewart, President and CEO of Butler National said, “We have worked diligently to reach our goal of owning all the equity of the Boot Hill Casino manager, BHCMC.  The sole Butler ownership of BHCMC achieves a significant milestone for all Butler National shareholders.  We appreciate the advice, assistance and participation of our business partner, BHC Investment Company, LC.  They were essential in the development of the Boot Hill Casino and casino gaming in Kansas.”

Exhibit 99.2

BUTLER NATIONAL CORPORATION

PRO FORMA UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to the acquisition of the noncontrolling interest in BHCMC, LLC (BHCMC) by Butler National Corporation ("Butler" and the "Company") and are based on estimates and assumptions set forth herein and in the notes to such pro forma statements.

On October 18, 2021, Butler National Service Corporation (“BNSC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Butler National Corporation (“Company”), acquired 2,000 Class A Preferred Membership Units of BHCMC, L.L.C. (“BHCMC”) from BHC Investment Company, L.C. (“Seller”) for approximately $16.4 million paid at closing (the “Transaction”).  BHCMC is the manager of the Boot Hill Casino & Resort located in Dodge City, Kansas.  As a result of this Transaction, BNSC has acquired the remaining BHCMC equity and the Company now indirectly owns 100% of BHCMC.

The closing was effected pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement for Preferred Member Interest Units between Seller and BNSC (“Purchase Agreement”).  BNSC and Seller agreed to utilize an effective date for the Transaction of August 1, 2021.  The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The Transaction purchase price was paid by a combination of available cash and an $8.0 million borrowing on a commercial loan with Academy Bank, N.A. (“Academy Bank”). BHCMC executed a Loan Modification Agreement with Academy, dated October 18, 2021 (“Manager Loan”) and BNSC executed a guaranty of the obligations thereunder. The Manager Loan amended and restated the original $7.0 million loan executed December 22, 2020 with Academy to acquire the casino land and buildings.  The other $35 million loan executed in connection with the casino land acquisition in 2020 was unchanged by the Transaction.  As a result, approximately $13.9 million is outstanding under the Manager Loan and it remains collateralized by real estate in Dodge City with an interest rate of 5.75% fully amortizing over five years. The Manager Loan will now mature on October 18, 2026. The foregoing description of the Manager Loan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Manager Loan, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

This transaction is being accounted for as an asset acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at July 31, 2021 assumes the effects of the above as if this transaction had occurred as of July 31, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended April 30, 2021 and the three months ended July 31, 2021 gives effect to the above as if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the period.
