Unsecured Notes

In 2021, certain unrestricted subsidiaries (together, the “Escrow Issuers”) of the Company issued, pursuant to an indenture (the “Senior Notes Indenture”), $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior notes due in 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due in 2031 (the “2031 Notes” and, together with the 2029 Notes, the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s obligations under its Credit Agreement (as defined below).

The Company may redeem some or all of the 2031 Notes at any time prior to September 1, 2026, at prices equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Notes to be redeemed plus certain “make-whole” premiums, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and may redeem the 2029 Notes at any time, and the 2031 Notes at any time on or after September 1, 2026, at certain redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Credit Facility

In 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) providing for senior secured financing of up to $2.565 billion, consisting of a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.945 billion (the “Term Loan Facility”), which was to mature in 2028, and a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $620.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

In February 2026, in connection with the issuance of the 2026 Term Loan Credit Facility described below, the Company repaid in full the remaining outstanding balance under its Term Loan Facility, paying $1.48 billion in cash for a $1.47 billion pay off of principal and $5.9 million settlement of accrued interest, and recognized a $63.4 million loss on extinguishment of debt which represents the unamortized fair value adjustment as of the repayment date.

The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company’s restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, and secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and each of the guarantors’ assets, subject to certain exceptions.

In January 2026, the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 3”) and the Incremental Joinder Agreement, which were executed in the third quarter of 2025, became effective. Upon effectiveness of these amendments, certain covenants and pricing provisions of the Revolving Credit Facility were revised, certain step downs in commitments were agreed, and its maturity was disaggregated into two tranches with portions maturing in October 2026 and October 2028, respectively. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company further amended the Credit Agreement, which increased the interest rate margins applicable to revolving loans and swingline loans.

In February 2026, total commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility were reduced to approximately $519.3 million following certain commitment reductions, including reductions in connection with the Bally’s Twin River sale-leaseback transaction, which were partially offset by incremental commitments. Effective October 2026, following the partial maturity of the revolver and other contractual step downs, total availability under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility will be further reduced to approximately $319 million. As of June 30, 2026 (Successor), there was $195.8 million available under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility.

The Credit Agreement allows the Company to request one or more incremental term loan facilities or increase commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility or add one or more incremental revolving facilities in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of $325.0 million and 50% of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA for the most recent four-quarter period plus or minus certain amounts as specified in the Credit Agreement, including an unlimited amount subject to compliance with a consolidated total secured net leverage ratio.

The Company’s Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (1) the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), adjusted for certain additional costs and subject to a floor of 0.00% or (2) a base rate determined by reference to the greatest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate, (c) the one-month SOFR rate plus 1.00%, and (d) 1.00%, in each case of clauses (1) and (2), plus an applicable margin. In addition, on a quarterly basis, the Company is required to pay each lender under the Revolving Credit Facility a quarterly commitment fee of either 0.50% or 0.375%, with the applicable commitment fee determined based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio.
2026 Term Loans

On February 11, 2026, the Company, as borrower, and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a new term loan credit facility (the “2026 Term Loan Credit Facility”), providing for $1.1 billion of senior secured term loans (the “2026 Term Loans”). Borrowings under the 2026 Term Loan Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (i) an alternate base rate, subject to a 3.0% floor, plus a margin of 6.5% per annum, or (ii) Term SOFR, subject to a 3.0% floor, plus a margin of 7.5% per annum. The Company may elect to pay a portion of the accrued interest on the 2026 Term Loans in kind, up to 3.5% per annum.

The 2026 Term Loans are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all assets of the Company and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The 2026 Term Loans are secured on a pari passu basis with the obligations under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility.

Intralot Greek Retail Bond

In 2024, Bally’s Intralot established a common bond loan program (the “Intralot Greek Retail Bond”) for the issuance of up to €130.0 million aggregate principal amount of bonds, with a minimum issuance of €120.0 million. The bonds admitted to trading on the Fixed Income Securities category of the Regulated Market of Euronext Athens.

The bonds bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.00% per annum, payable semi-annually, which will remain fixed throughout the duration of the bonds. Upon its maturity, Bally’s Intralot will be required to repay the principal in full, together with outstanding accrued interest and any other amounts payable. Bally’s Intralot may redeem all or a portion of the bonds, subject to a minimum redemption amount of €15.0 million and a requirement that at least €50.0 million in aggregate principal amount remain outstanding after any partial redemption.

The Intralot Greek Retail Bond is an unsecured obligation of Bally’s Intralot, with the benefit of a first-priority pledge over a designated bond loan collateral account. The bonds rank pari passu with the claims of all other unsecured creditors of Bally’s Intralot, with the exception of claims that have a statutory privilege. The Intralot Greek Retail Bond is not guaranteed by any of Bally’s Intralot’s subsidiaries.

In the event of a change of control, each bondholder has the right to require Bally’s Intralot to repurchase part or all of such bondholder’s bonds at a price equal to 101% of the nominal value, plus accrued and unpaid interest and any additional amounts.

Debt Covenants

The Senior Notes Indenture, Revolving Credit Facility and 2026 Term Loan Credit Facility contain covenants, which are subject to exceptions and qualifications, that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments, sell assets, make certain investments and grant liens. Additionally, the Revolving Credit Facility contains a financial covenant regarding a maximum first lien net leverage ratio that applies when utilization under the Revolving Credit Facility exceeds 25% of the total revolving commitment.

The Intralot Indenture and the Intralot Credit Facilities contain customary restrictive covenants, including limitations on incurring additional indebtedness and the issuance of disqualified stock and preferred stock, restricted payments, liens, asset sales, and transactions with affiliates; and reporting requirements. The financial covenants include the maintenance of a senior secured net leverage ratio, tested quarterly, as well as a total net leverage ratio not exceeding 4.75:1.00.

If the Intralot Notes or Intralot Credit Facilities obtain investment grade ratings from two rating agencies and no default has occurred and is continuing, certain of these covenants will be suspended. Upon a reversion date (when the instruments no longer maintain investment grade ratings from two rating agencies), the suspended covenants will be reinstated with respect to future events. Bally’s Intralot’s debt agreements contain customary cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions.

In May 2026, the Required Revolving Lenders and Administrative Agent under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility conditionally waived compliance with the consolidated net leverage ratio covenant for each fiscal quarter ending during the period commencing March 31, 2026 through the earlier of (i) the Company’s election to terminate the waiver upon certifying compliance with the covenant as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter, or (ii) the date immediately preceding the delivery of the compliance certificate for the quarter ending March 31, 2027 (the “Covenant Waiver Period”). The waiver remains subject to the Company’s ongoing satisfaction of certain liquidity maintenance requirements, restrictions on additional secured indebtedness, compliance with the covenants under the Company’s Term Loan Facility and agreement to enter into an amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility within a specified period in order to incorporate certain covenants from the Company’s Term Loan Facility. Failure to satisfy any such condition will result in automatic termination of the waiver and reinstatement of the covenant in full force and effect.
As of June 30, 2026 (Successor), the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its debt agreements and there were no defaults in principal, interest, sinking fund, or redemption provisions with respect to any of its outstanding indebtedness. Except as noted above with respect to the waiver of the consolidated first lien net leverage ratio covenant under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility, no waivers of acceleration or covenant violations were in effect as of June 30, 2026 (Successor). Except as described in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, the Company expects to be in compliance with all applicable covenants for the next twelve months.
