Amended Credit Facilities
On May 3, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with its various lenders to amend and restate its previous credit agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided for a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Amended Revolving Credit Facility”), a five-year $550.0 million term loan A facility (the “Amended Term Loan A Facility”) and a seven-year $1.0 billion term loan B facility (the “Amended Term Loan B Facility”) (together, the “Amended Credit Facilities”). The proceeds from the Amended Credit Facilities were used to repay the balances of the previous credit facilities.
The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the Amended Credit Facilities are, at the Company’s option, equal to either an adjusted secured overnight financing rate (“Term SOFR”) or a base rate, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for each of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and the Amended Term Loan A Facility ranges from 2.25% to 1.50% per annum for Term SOFR loans and 1.25% to 0.50% per annum for base rate loans, in each case depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio (as defined within the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The applicable margin for the Amended Term Loan B Facility was 2.75% per annum for Term SOFR loans and 1.75% per annum for base rate loans until the margins were both reduced by a total of 75 basis points pursuant to the Second Amendment Agreement and the Fourth Amendment Agreement, both discussed and defined below, effective December 4, 2024 and May 28, 2026, respectively. The Amended Term Loan B Facility is subject to a Term SOFR “floor” of 0.50% per annum and a base rate “floor” of 1.50% per annum. In addition, the Company pays a commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitments under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility at a rate that ranges from 0.35% to 0.20% per annum, depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio (as defined within the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).
The Amended Credit Facilities contain customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to grant liens on their assets, incur indebtedness, sell assets, make investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, pay dividends and make other restricted payments and prepay certain indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the obligations under the Amended Credit Facilities. The Amended Credit Facilities contain two financial covenants: a maximum total net leverage ratio (as defined within the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of 4.50 to 1.00, which is subject to a step up to 5.00 to 1.00 in the case of certain significant acquisitions, and a minimum interest coverage ratio (as defined within the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of 2.00 to 1.00. The Amended Credit Facilities also contain certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the documents governing the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), termination, and certain defaults under the Master Leases, which are discussed in Note 6, “Leases.”
On December 4, 2024, PENN entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment Agreement”) to its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with its various lenders to reduce the interest rate margins applicable to the Company’s approximately $978.0 million in existing Amended Term Loan B Facility loans from 2.75% to 2.50% for Term SOFR loans and from 1.75% to 1.50% for base rate loans.
On April 16, 2026, PENN entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment Agreement”) to its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Third Amendment Agreement, among other things, refinanced and extended the term of the Company’s $1.0 billion Amended Revolving Credit Facility and $446.9 million Amended Term Loan A Facility. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility and Amended Term Loan A Facility, as amended, will mature in April 2031, subject to an earlier springing maturity 91 days prior to the maturity of certain of the Company’s existing debt obligations if such debt remains outstanding and has not been refinanced, unless certain liquidity conditions are satisfied. The interest rate margins applicable to the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and Amended Term Loan A Facility were unchanged by the Third Amendment Agreement, except that the Third Amendment Agreement eliminated the credit spread adjustment applicable to SOFR borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and Amended Term Loan A Facility. After the refinancing, the borrowing capacity under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is available for future working capital and other general corporate purposes.
On May 28, 2026, PENN entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment Agreement”) to its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with its various lenders, which reduced the interest rate margins applicable to the Company’s $962.5 million in existing Amended Term Loan B Facility loans from 2.50% to 2.00% for Term SOFR loans and from 1.50% to 1.00% for base rate loans, and extended the maturity date of such loans to May 2033.
In connection with the Third Amendment Agreement and Fourth Amendment Agreement, the Company recorded $16.3 million of debt issuance costs, which will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining terms of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, Amended Term Loan A Facility and Amended Term Loan B Facility, as applicable. In addition, the Company recorded $2.4 million of original issue discount associated with the Amended Term Loan B Facility, which will be amortized to interest expense over its remaining term.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had conditional obligations under letters of credit issued pursuant to the Amended Credit Facilities with face amounts aggregating to $23.9 million, resulting in $976.1 million of available borrowing capacity under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility.
6.75% Senior Unsecured Notes
On March 16, 2026, the Company completed an offering of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior unsecured notes that mature on April 1, 2031 (the “6.75% Notes”). The 6.75% Notes were issued at par and interest is payable semi-annually on April 1st and October 1st of each year. The 6.75% Notes are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries except in the event that the Company, in the future, issues certain subsidiary-guaranteed debt securities. The Company may redeem the 6.75% Notes at any time on or after April 1, 2028, at the declining redemption premiums set forth in the indenture governing the 6.75% Notes, and, prior to April 1, 2028, at a “make-whole” redemption premium set forth in the indenture governing the 6.75% Notes. Net proceeds of the 6.75% Notes were used to repay borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility.
In connection with the issuance of the 6.75% Notes, the Company recorded $10.3 million in debt issuance costs, which will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the 6.75% Notes.
5.625% Senior Unsecured Notes
On January 19, 2017, the Company completed an offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior unsecured notes that mature on January 15, 2027 (the “5.625% Notes”). The 5.625% Notes were issued at par and interest is payable semi-annually on January 15th and July 15th of each year. The 5.625% Notes are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries except in the event that the Company, in the future, issues certain subsidiary-guaranteed debt securities. The Company may redeem the 5.625% Notes at any time on or after January 15, 2022, at the declining redemption premiums set forth in the indenture governing the 5.625% Notes. As of June 30, 2026, the 5.625% Notes are scheduled to mature within the next twelve months. However, the Company has classified this obligation as long-term based on its intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis.
2.75% Unsecured Convertible Notes
In May 2020, the Company completed a public offering of $330.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% unsecured convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) that matured, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased, on May 15, 2026 at a price of par.
On June 13, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with certain holders of the Convertible Notes to repurchase $223.8 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes.
In May 2026, the Company repaid the remaining $106.7 million principal balance of the Convertible Notes. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had no outstanding balance on the Convertible Notes. None of the Convertible Notes were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock while they were outstanding.

Covenants
Our Amended Credit Facilities, 5.625% Notes, 4.125% Notes due 2029 (the “4.125% Notes”), and 6.75% Notes, require us, among other obligations, to maintain specified financial ratios and to satisfy certain financial tests. In addition, our Amended Credit Facilities, 5.625% Notes, 4.125% Notes, and 6.75% Notes, restrict, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, amend debt instruments, pay dividends, create liens on assets, make investments, engage in mergers or consolidations, and otherwise restrict corporate activities. Our debt agreements also contain customary events of default, including cross-default provisions that require us to meet certain requirements under the Master Leases (which are described in Note 6, “Leases”), each with GLPI. If we are unable to meet our financial covenants or in the event of a cross-default, it could trigger an acceleration of payment terms.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants. The Company believes that it will remain in compliance with all of its required financial covenants for at least the next twelve months following the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC.
Other Long-Term Obligation
In February 2021, the Company entered into a financing arrangement with a third-party, which provided the Company with upfront and non-refundable cash proceeds while permitting us to participate in future proceeds on certain insurance coverage claims for economic losses PENN sustained due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company determined that obligations under these claims were no longer probable and therefore recognized a $215.1 million non-cash gain, which was recorded as “Gain on financing arrangement” within the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
