PROPOSAL 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS At our Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to elect seven (7) directors to hold office until our 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The nominees were recommended and approved for nomination by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Elected directors will serve until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier resignation or removal. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named. If you sign and return the accompanying proxy, your shares will be voted for the election of each nominee in accordance with your instructions or, if no instructions are provided, then your shares will be voted as recommended by our Board of Directors. If any of the nominees for any reason are unable or unwilling to serve, the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominees as the proxy holder may determine. We are not aware of any reason that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director. Peter M. Carlino, Debra Martin Chase, Carol “Lili” Lynton, Joseph W. Marshall, III, James B. Perry, Earl C. Shanks and E. Scott Urdang have been nominated for election to our Board of Directors to serve for a term through the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. REQUIRED VOTE The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide for a majority voting standard with a resignation policy. Under a majority voting standard, once a quorum has been established, in an uncontested director election, a candidate must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to the election of that candidate. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be considered votes cast on any candidate’s election. The resignation policy set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines requires any director nominee who fails to receive the requisite majority vote to promptly, following certification of the shareholder vote, tender his or her resignation from the Board and all committees upon which he or she serves. Our Board will then assess the appropriateness of such nominee continuing to serve as a director and decide whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The policy further provides that any director who tenders his or her resignation shall not participate in the Board action regarding whether to accept
