On November 18, 2020, Minnesota’s Governor Walz adopted an executive order requiring temporary closure of places of public accommodation as a measure to slow the spread of COVID-19 for a four week period from 11:59 pm on Friday, November 20, 2020 to 11:59 pm on Friday, December 18, 2020.

On November 19, 2020, Canterbury Park Holding Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that, in compliance with the November 18, 2020 executive order, the Company will temporarily suspend all Card Casino, simulcast, and special events operations at Canterbury Park at 11:59 pm on November 20, 2020. A copy of that press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference.

Although the Company will temporarily suspend all Card Casino, simulcast, and special event operations at Canterbury Park for a four week period, the Company is continuing to conduct its real estate development operations, which were not affected by the November 18, 2020 executive order.
