| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On April 16, 2026, PENN Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 3, 2022 (as amended prior to the effectiveness of the Amendment, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and as further amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A, as administrative agent and collateral agent.
The Amendment amended the Existing Credit Agreement to, among other things, refinance and extend the term of the Company’s $1.0 billion revolving credit facility and $446.9 million term loan A facility (together, as so amended, the “2026 Facilities”). The 2026 Facilities will mature in April 2031, subject to an earlier springing maturity 91 days inside certain of the Company’s existing debt obligations in the event that such debt remains outstanding and has not been refinanced, unless certain liquidity conditions are met. The interest rate margins applicable to the revolving credit facility and term loan A facility were unchanged by the Amendment, except that the Amendment removed the 0.10% credit spread adjustment applicable to SOFR borrowings under the revolving credit facility and term loan A facility.
The Company’s existing term loan B facility remains outstanding and was not refinanced as part of this transaction. The maturity of the Company’s term loan B facility remains unchanged.
Proceeds of the 2026 Facilities were used to refinance the Company’s existing revolving credit facility and term loan A facility and will be available for future working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report, and is incorporated herein by reference.
