**BALLY'S CORPORATION**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

*Agreement and Plan of Merger*

On February 7, 2025, the Company completed the previously announced transactions under the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the "Merger Agreement") with SG Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Parent"), The Queen Casino & Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation and affiliate of Parent ("Queen"), Epsilon Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub I"), Epsilon Sub II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub II", and together with the Company and Merger Sub I, the "Company Parties"), and, solely for purposes of specified provisions thereof, SG CQ Gaming LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("SG Gaming" and together with Parent and Queen, the "Buyer Parties"). As a result of the transactions, Parent and its affiliates beneficially own 73.8% of the issued and outstanding Company common stock.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) SG Gaming contributed to the Company all shares of common stock of Queen that it owns (the "Queen Share Contribution") in exchange for 26,909,895 shares of common stock of the Company ("Company Common Stock") based on a 2.4536890595 share exchange ratio, (ii) the Company issued approximately 3,542,201 shares of Company Common Stock to the other stockholders of Queen, (iii) immediately thereafter, Merger Sub I merged into the Company (the "Company Merger"), with the Company surviving the Company Merger and (iv) immediately thereafter, Merger Sub II merged into Queen (the "Queen Merger," and together with the Company Merger, the "Merger"), with Queen surviving the Queen Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

At the effective time of the Merger, each share of the Company's Common Stock issued and outstanding (other than shares of common stock owned by (i) the Company or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, (ii) Parent or any of Parent's affiliates, (iii) by holders exercising statutory appraisal rights; (iv) by SG Gaming following the Queen Share Contribution; or (v) by holders who have elected to have such shares remain issued and outstanding following the Company Merger (a "Rolling Share Election")) were converted into the right to receive cash consideration equal to $18.25 per share of common stock (the "Per Share Price"). Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock (other than the Company or its subsidiaries) had the option to make a Rolling Share Election.

Concurrently with the Merger Agreement, the Company and Parent entered into support agreements with Standard RI Ltd. ("SRL") (the "SG Support Agreement"), SBG Gaming, LLC, a designated subsidiary of Sinclair ("SBG") (the "SBG Support Agreement"), and Noel Hayden (the "Hayden Support Agreement"), collectively known as the "Support Agreements". The Support Agreements obligated the parties to vote their respective shares in favor of the Merger Agreement and related transactions, and to make a Rolling Share Election for their shares, including those acquired through options or warrants. Additionally, under the SBG Support Agreement, SBG agreed to waive its right to the options it previously acquired under a Framework Agreement originally entered into in 2020 (the "Framework Agreement"), upon completion of the Merger, and in exchange, the Company issued SBG warrants to purchase 384,536 shares of the Company's common stock under substantially similar terms to the Penny Warrants issued to SBG under the Framework Agreement. In connection with the Merger, as of February 7, 2025, all outstanding Performance Warrants became immediately exercisable at a price of $0.01 per share.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

*Basis of Presentation*

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and include the accounts of the Company, its majority-owned subsidiaries and entities the Company identifies as variable interest entities ("VIEs"), of which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into US Dollars ("USD") using exchange rates in effect at period-end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net income (loss).

**BALLY'S CORPORATION**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim financial information, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of the SEC's Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally required in complete financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. In the Company's opinion, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

We have made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates.

As described in Note 1, "General Information", the Company completed the Merger with Queen on February 7, 2025 (the "Closing"), with Queen surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Parent and its affiliates maintained a controlling financial interest, as defined by ASC 810, in Queen before and after the Merger, and in the Company upon consummation of the Merger. The Merger with Queen was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control because the Parent and its affiliates contributed a wholly owned subsidiary into the Company, which became a controlled subsidiary of the Parent and its affiliates upon consummation of the merger. The Company has elected to push down its Parent's basis in its net assets into its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and as a result, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company," for periods prior to the Closing refers to Bally's ("Predecessor"), and for the periods after the Closing refers to the combined Company of Bally's and Queen ("Successor" or the "Company"). As a result of the Merger, the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Predecessor and the Successor are not directly comparable. As Bally's was deemed to be the predecessor entity, the historical financial statements of Bally's became the historical financial statements of the combined Company, upon the consummation of the Merger. As a result, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Bally's prior to the Merger and (ii) the combined results of the Company following the Closing. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include a Predecessor period, which includes the period through February 7, 2025 concurrent with the Merger, and a Successor period from February 8, 2025 through June 30, 2025. A black line between the Successor and Predecessor periods has been placed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and in the tables to the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements to highlight the lack of comparability between these two periods.

Queen is a regional gaming, hospitality and entertainment company that owns and operates four casinos across three states. The Merger expands the Company's Casinos & Resorts geographic footprint and enhances the Company's development pipeline, which aligns with the Company's broader strategic initiatives.

Certain adjustments have been made to Queen's historical carrying values to conform accounting policies with the Company, with any such adjustments being recorded to equity. The preliminary purchase price of Queen is estimated based on the fair value of all existing and outstanding shares of Queen that were exchanged for shares of Company common stock, with the net effect of the transaction being charged to equity.

The preliminary purchase price of Queen and adjustment to equity resulting from the merger consists of the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *(in thousands, except share and per share data)* | **Amount** |
| Queen common stock outstanding on February 7, 2025 | 10967117 |
| Per share ratio | 2.45 |
| Equivalent Bally's common stock to be issued | 26909895 |
| Bally's common stock issued to settle Queen's outstanding warrant and restricted stock awards | 3542201 |
| Total Bally's shares issued for Queen shares outstanding | 30452096 |
| Share price per Merger Agreement | $18.25 |
| Total purchase price | $555751 |
| Less: Queen net assets assumed | 217027 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Equity adjustment associated with the Queen merger | $338724 |

**BALLY'S CORPORATION**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 (Successor) and period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 (Successor), revenue for Queen was $61.3 million and $96.0 million, respectively and net income was $41.8 million and $54.8 million, respectively.

*Equity Method Investments*

In 2025, following the Queen merger, the Company has an investment in Intralot S.A. Integrated Lottery Systems and Services ("Intralot"), a Greek publicly listed company on the Athens Stock Exchange, that supplies integrated gaming and transaction processing systems, game content, sports betting management and interactive gaming services to the state-licensed gaming and lottery organizations worldwide. The total initial investment represented approximately 26.86% of the outstanding shares of Intralot. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 (Successor), an existing loan receivable was settled by payment to the Company in 34.3 million shares of Intralot. On June 30, 2025, the Company also purchased 4.8 million additional shares of Intralot for €1.06 per share. Both of these transactions brought the Company's total investment in Intralot up to 33.34% of the outstanding shares of Intralot. The investment is accounted for as an equity method investment under the fair value option as the Company believes this best depicts the economics of the investment.

In 2024, the Company completed the sale of portions of its international interactive business in Asia and certain other international markets in its International Interactive reportable segment (the "Carved-Out Business") to a company (the "Buyer") formed by members of management of the Carved-Out Business. In connection with the disposition, the Company acquired penny warrants that represent a 19.99% fully diluted interest in the Buyer, for approximately $1.9 million. The Company accounts for this interest as an equity method investment.

The Company also has other investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, which are accounted for using equity method accounting. The Company records its share of net income or loss and changes in fair value for equity method investments accounted for under the fair value option within Other non-operating income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 4 "Consolidated Financial Information" for further information.

*Variable Interest Entities*

The Company evaluates entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. An entity is a VIE if it has any of the following characteristics (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support (ii) equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or (iii) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The primary beneficiary of the VIE is generally the entity that has (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates its investment in a VIE when it determines that it is its primary beneficiary.

In determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and which party controls such activities and significance of the Company's investment and other means of participation in the VIE's expected profits/losses. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of assets held by these VIEs and general market conditions.

Management has analyzed and concluded that a trust that was established in connection with the disposal of the Asia Interactive Business, is a VIE that will be consolidated based on the applicable criteria.

As of June 30, 2025 (Successor) and December 31, 2024 (Predecessor), consolidated VIEs had total assets of $286.9 million and $263.9 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $33.4 million and $27.9 million, respectively. Consolidated VIEs had total revenue of $7.0 million and $46.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 (Successor) and June 30, 2024 (Predecessor), respectively, and total revenue of $11.9 million, $3.7 million and $108.4 million for the period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 (Successor), the period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 (Predecessor) and the six months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor), respectively.

The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity's equity investments at risk and the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis.

*Non-controlling interest* 

In the first quarter of 2025, Bally's Chicago, Inc., a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, successfully completed a private placement (the "Private Placement"), whereby shares of Class A-1, A-2, A-3 and A-4 were issued to third parties for total consideration of $12.4 million, net of $0.8 million of issuance costs. Based on the shares issued in the private placement the Company has a de minimus non-controlling interest in Bally's Chicago, Inc. as of June 30, 2025 (Successor). Net income attributable to non-controlling interest was de minimus for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 (Successor).

*The Star Entertainment Group Investment* 

On April 7, 2025, the Company entered into a Binding Term Sheet with The Star Entertainment Group Limited ("The Star"), an ASX-listed company, to invest up to A$300.0 million in a multi-tranche issuance of convertible notes and subordinated debt (the "Investment"). On April 8, 2025, The Star announced a commitment from its largest shareholder, Investment Holdings Pty, to subscribe for A$100.0 million of the Investment, reducing the Company's commitment to A$200.0 million. On April 9, 2025, the Company funded A$66.7 million, consisting of Tranche 1A convertible notes of A$22.2 million (the "Convertible Notes") and subordinated debt with a principal amount of A$44.4 million. Additionally, on May 23, 2025, the Company and The Star entered into a Subscription Agreement and a Subordination Deed Poll in favor of certain The Star's senior lenders.

Following shareholder approval obtained on June 25, 2025, the Company funded an additional principal amount of A$66.7 million in subordinated debt on June 27, 2025 (together with the A$44.4 million, the "Subordinated Notes"). As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding principal balance on the Subordinated Notes and Convertible Notes were A$111.1 million and A$22.2 million, respectively.

The remainder of the Company's A$66.7 million commitment is expected to be funded upon regulatory approval of the Investment (the "Forward Obligation"). Separately, upon such approval, the Subordinated Notes will settle into the Convertible Notes on a cashless basis. Both the Convertible Notes and Subordinated Notes mature on July 2, 2029, and bear interest at an annual rate of 9%, paid in-kind and compounded quarterly.

*Deferred Payables*

In order to execute on its strategy of improving working capital efficiency, the Company will, from time to time, participate in trade finance or deferred payable initiatives, including programs that may securitize or accelerate liquidity realized from receivables, or alternatively extend trade terms with certain suppliers or vendors. In certain cases, where the Company is not able to extend payment terms directly with suppliers or vendors, the Company will consider deferred payable solutions that simulate such trade term extensions. These solutions generally involve entering into exchange agreements with intermediary institutions who will make payments to the supplier or vendor within the original terms on behalf of the Company, in exchange for a new bill with terms that conform to the Company's payment policy of net 90 days. The Company will then pay the new bill to the intermediary institutions, inclusive of any embedded premium, which the Company records as Interest expense, net, within three months or less. Amounts outstanding under these deferred payable arrangements were $94.7 million and $72.8 million as of June 30, 2025 (Successor) and December 31, 2024 (Predecessor), respectively, and are included in Accrued and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 **6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;REVENUE RECOGNITION**

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*, which requires the revenue to be recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the control of promised goods or services and is measured at the transaction price or the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive through satisfaction of the identified performance obligations.

The Company generates revenue from four principal sources: (1) gaming (which includes retail gaming, online gaming, sports betting and racing), (2) hotel, (3) food and beverage and (4) retail, entertainment and other.

Sales tax and other taxes collected on behalf of governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and are not included in revenue or operating expenses.

*Gaming Revenue*

<u>Performance Obligations</u>

Retail gaming service contracts involving our land-based casinos, each have an obligation to honor the outcome of a wager and to pay out an amount equal to the stated odds, including the return of the initial wager, if the customer receives a winning hand. These elements of honoring the outcome of the hand of play and generating a payout are considered one performance obligation, with an additional performance obligation for those customers earning incentives under the Company's player loyalty program.

Online gaming and sports betting represent a single performance obligation for the Company to operate contests or games and award prizes or payouts to users based on results of the arrangement. Additionally, the use of incentives across the online gaming products create future customer rights and are a separate performance obligation.

Racing revenue is earned through advance deposit wagering, which consists of patrons wagering through an advance deposit account. Each wagering contract contains a single performance obligation.

<u>Transaction Price</u>

The Company applies a practical expedient to account for its gaming contracts on a portfolio basis as such wagers have similar characteristics and the Company reasonably expects the impact on the consolidated financial statements of applying the revenue recognition guidance to the portfolio would not differ materially from the application of an individual wagering contract. The transaction price for a retail gaming, online gaming or sports betting wagering contract is the difference between wins and losses, not the total amount wagered. In addition, in the event of a multi-stage contest, the Company will allocate transaction price ratably from contest start to the contest's final stage.

------

**BALLY'S CORPORATION**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

The transaction price for racing operations, inclusive of live racing events conducted at the Company's racing facilities, is the commission received from the pari-mutuel pool less contractual fees and obligations, primarily consisting of purse funding requirements, simulcasting fees, tote fees and certain pari-mutuel taxes that are directly related to the racing operations.

For purposes of allocating the transaction price in a wagering contract between the wagering performance obligation and the obligation associated with incentives earned under loyalty programs, the Company allocates an amount to the loyalty program contract liability based on the stand-alone selling price of the incentive earned. The performance obligation related to loyalty program incentives are deferred and recognized as revenue upon redemption by the customer.

<u>Revenue Recognition</u>

The allocated revenue for retail gaming wagers is recognized when the wagering occurs as all such wagers settle immediately. Online gaming revenue is recognized at the point in time when the player completes a gaming session and payout occurs. Sports betting involves a player wagering money on an outcome or series of outcomes. If a player wins the wager, the Company pays the player a pre-determined amount known as fixed odds, and its revenue is recognized as total wagers net of payouts made and incentives awarded to players. Racing revenue includes several of our casinos and resorts' share of wagering from live racing and the import of simulcast signals, and is recognized upon completion of the wager based upon an established take-out percentage.

The estimated retail value related to goods and services provided to customers without charge or upon redemption under the Company's player loyalty programs included in departmental revenues, and therefore reducing gaming revenues, are as follows:

*Non-gaming Revenue*

<u>Performance Obligations</u>

Hotel, food and beverage, and retail, entertainment and other services have been determined to be separate, stand-alone performance obligations and revenue is recognized as the good or service is transferred at the point in time of the transaction.

<u>Transaction Price</u>

The transaction price for hotel, food and beverage, and retail, entertainment and other, is the net amount collected from the customer for such goods and services. The estimated standalone selling price of hotel rooms is determined based on observable prices. The standalone selling price of these goods and services are determined based upon the actual retail prices charged to customers for those items.

------

**BALLY'S CORPORATION**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

<u>Revenue Recognition</u>

Hotel revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control through occupancy of the room over their stay at the hotel. Advance deposits for hotel rooms are recorded as liabilities until revenue recognition criteria are met. Food, beverage and retail revenues are recognized at the time the goods are sold from Company-operated outlets. Other revenue includes cancellation fees for hotel and meeting space services, which are recognized upon cancellation by the customer, and golf revenues from the Company's operations of Bally's Golf Links, which are recognized at the time of sale. Additionally, other revenue includes market access and business-to-business service revenue generated by the International Interactive and North America Interactive reportable segments, which is recognized at the time the goods are sold or the service is provided, and are included in Non-gaming revenue within our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

*Contract Assets and Contract Related Liabilities*

The Company's receivables related to contracts with customers are primarily comprised of marker balances, interactive platform business-to-business service receivables, other amounts due from gaming activities, amounts due for hotel stays and amounts due from tracks and OTB locations. The Company's receivables related to contracts with customers were $41.2 million and $41.3 million as of June 30, 2025 (Successor) and December 31, 2024 (Predecessor), respectively.

The Company has the following liabilities related to contracts with customers: liabilities for loyalty programs, advance deposits made for goods and services yet to be provided and unpaid wagers. All of the contract liabilities are short-term in nature and are included in "Accrued and other current liabilities" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Loyalty program incentives earned by customers are typically redeemed within one year from when they are earned and expire if a customer's account is inactive for more than 12 months; therefore, the majority of these incentives outstanding at the end of a period will either be redeemed or expire within the next 12 months.

Advance deposits are typically interactive player deposits and customer deposits for future banquet events, hotel room reservations, and gift cards. The Company holds restricted cash for interactive player deposits and records a corresponding withdrawal liability. The banquet and hotel reservation deposits are usually received weeks or months in advance of the event or hotel stay.

Unpaid wagers include the Company's outstanding chip liability and unpaid slot, pari-mutuel and sports betting tickets.

**7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;BUSINESS COMBINATIONS**

*Merger with Queen Casino & Entertainment, Inc.*

The Merger between the Company and Queen was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"), in which the accounting acquirer (Parent and its affiliates) obtained control of the Company. As described in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", the Company has elected to push down its Parent's basis in its net assets into its financial statements, and as a result, the net assets of the Predecessor were measured and recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date and were combined with those of Queen at Queen's historical carrying amounts and are presented on a combined basis. The following disclosures relate to the Company's election to apply push down and show the effect of the change in control.

The fair value of the Merger consideration was $955.6 million, which represents 52,364,192 total shares outstanding prior to the Merger multiplied by the Merger value of $18.25 per share. Immediately following the transaction, the Company repurchased 22,804,384 shares at a price of $18.25 for total a total repurchase price of $416.2 million.

The purchase consideration has been allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with the excess of the purchase consideration over the aggregate net fair values recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. Accounts receivable, other assets, current liabilities and inventories were stated at their historical carrying value, which approximates fair value given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. The estimate of fair value for property and equipment and owned real property was based on an assessment of the assets' condition as well as an evaluation of the current market value of such assets. The fair value of leasehold interests were estimated based on evaluating contractual rent payments relative to market rent giving consideration to the Company's capitalization rates and rent coverage ratios, under the income method or by estimating the fee simple value and estimated rate of return, depending on the nature of the underlying leasehold interest. In connection with with remeasuring the Company's lease liabilities, unfavorable off-market components of $130.8 million were recognized as a decrease to the Company's right of use assets, and will be amortized as a reduction of lease expense on a straight line basis over the remaining lease term.

The Company recorded intangible assets based on estimates of fair value which consisted of the following:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Valuation Approach** | **Estimated Useful Life <br>(in years)** | **Estimated Fair Value** |
| Gaming licenses | Greenfield Method | 16 | $759041 |
| Customer relationships | Multi-period Excess earnings method | 4 | 349980 |
| Developed technology | Relief from royalty method | 5 | 253200 |
| Trade names | Relief from royalty method | 12 | 74700 |
| Intellectual property license | Relief from royalty method | 7 | 141000 |
| Indefinite lived trade names | Relief from royalty method | Indefinite | 281500 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total fair value of intangible assets |  |  | $1859421 |

---

The valuation of intangible assets was determined using income approach methodologies including the greenfield method, multi-period excess earnings method and the relief from royalty method. Level 3 inputs used in estimating future cash flows included terminal growth rates of 3%, royalty rates between 2% and 19%, discount rates between 11% and 15%, operating cash flows, estimated construction costs, and pre-opening expenses, among others. The projected future cash flows are discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate.

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

The estimated fair values were based on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. As of June 30, 2025 (Successor), the Company is in the process of completing its valuation of tangible and intangible assets and the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the allocation of goodwill to reporting units, which will be completed once the valuation process has been finalized.

**11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS**

The Company utilizes derivative instruments in order to mitigate interest rate and currency exchange rate risk in accordance with its financial risk and liability management policy.

The Company has entered into a series of interest rate contracts and cross currency swap derivative transactions with multiple bank counterparties in order to synthetically convert a notional aggregate amount of $500.0 million of the Company's USD denominated variable rate Term Loan Facility, as disclosed in Note 15 "[Long-Term Debt](#ieaa8654b88bf4432b75271561e4bd04d_79)," into fixed rate debt over five years and $200 million of the Term Loan Facility, to an equivalent GBP denominated floating rate instrument over three years. These contracts mature in October, 2028 and 2026, respectively.

**BALLY'S CORPORATION**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

Additionally, the Company has entered into a series of interest rate contracts in a notional aggregate amount of $1.00 billion, to further manage the Company's exposure to interest rate movements associated with the Company's variable rate Term Loan Facility through its synthetic conversion to fixed rate debt. The tenor of these contracts were matched with the maturity of the Term Loan Facility tranche maturing on October 1, 2028.

<u>Cross Currency Swaps</u>

*Net Investment Hedges* - The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments it holds in its European foreign entities. The Company uses fixed and fixed-cross-currency swaps to hedge its exposure to changes in the foreign exchange rate on its foreign investment in Europe and their exposure to changes in the EUR-GBP exchange rate. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the USD-EUR exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward agreements are typically cash settled in USD for their fair value at or close to their settlement date. Cross-currency swaps involve the receipt of functional-currency-fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making foreign-currency-fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement. These derivative arrangements qualify as net investment hedges under ASC 815, *Derivatives and Hedging*, with the gain or loss resulting from changes in the spot value of the derivative reported in other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts are reclassified out of other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. Additionally, the accrual of foreign currency and USD denominated coupons will be recognized in Interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 12 "Fair Value Measurements" and Note 17 "Stockholders' Equity" for further information.

*Economic Hedges* - During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company dedesignated its EUR-GBP cross currency swaps as net investment hedges and began recording changes in fair value of the derivative and the accrual of foreign currency and USD denominated coupons through earnings reported in Other non-operating income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.

The following tables summarize the Company's cross currency swap arrangements as of June 30, 2025 (Successor) and December 31, 2024 (Predecessor) (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Hedge Designation** | **Notional Sold** | **Notional Purchased** |
| Cross currency swaps | Economic Hedges | 461595 | £387531 |
| Cross currency swaps | Net Investment Hedge | £546759 | $700000 |

---

<u>Cash Flow Hedges</u>

*Interest Rate Contracts* - The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to hedge its exposure to variability in cash flows on a portion of its floating-rate debt, to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and collars as part of its financial risk and liability management policy. The Company's interest rate swaps and collars are designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815. The changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into "Interest expense, net" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same period in which the hedged interest payments associated with the Company's borrowings are recorded. Refer to Note 12 "Fair Value Measurements" and Note 17 "Stockholders' Equity" for further information.

---

*Interest Rate Contracts and Cross Currency Swaps*

The fair values of interest rate contracts and cross currency swap assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the valuation inputs are based on estimates using currency spot and forward rates and standard pricing models that consider the value of future cash flows as of the balance sheet date, discounted to a present value using discount factors that match both the time to maturity and currency of the underlying instruments. These standard pricing models utilize inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data such as interest rate yield curves as well as currency spot and forward rates. When designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair value of these contracts are reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). When not designated as hedging instruments, changes in fair value of these contracts are reported within Other non-operating income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.

*Sinclair Performance Warrants*

Sinclair Performance Warrants were accounted for as a derivative instrument classified as a liability within Level 3 of the hierarchy through February 7, 2024 (predecessor) as the warrants are not traded in active markets and are subject to certain assumptions and estimates made by management related to the probability of meeting performance milestones. These assumptions and the probability of meeting performance targets may have a significant impact on the value of the warrant. The Performance Warrants were valued using an option pricing model, considering the Company's estimated probabilities of achieving the performance milestones for each tranche. Inputs to this valuation approach include volatility between 40% and 67%, risk free rates between 3.84% and 4.79%, the Company's common stock price for each period and expected terms between 1.5 and 6.3 years. In connection with the Queen merger, as of February 7, 2025, all outstanding Performance Warrants became immediately exercisable at a price of $0.01 per share and were reclassified out of liabilities and into equity and are no longer measured at fair value. The fair value is recorded within Other long-term liabilities of the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 (predecessor).

**BALLY'S CORPORATION**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

*Contingent Consideration*

Contingent consideration related to acquisitions is recorded at fair value as a liability on the acquisition date and subsequently remeasured at each reporting date, based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The remeasurements are based primarily on the expected probability of achievement of the contingency targets which are subject to management's estimates. These changes in fair value are recognized within "Other non-operating income (expense), net" of the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In connection with the acquisition of Bally's Golf Links on September 12, 2023, the Company recorded contingent consideration, which had a total fair value of $62.4 million as of June 30, 2025 (Successor). The amount included in purchase consideration is the fair value, under GAAP, of expected cash payments totaling up to $125 million to the seller, based upon future events, which are uncertain. The contingent consideration was recorded at fair value, using discounted cash flow analyses with level 3 inputs, and is remeasured quarterly, with fair value adjustments recognized in earnings, until the contingencies are resolved. Inputs to this valuation approach include the Company's estimated probabilities of achieving the conditions for payment, expected terms between 0.8 and 1.3 Years, and discount rates of 6.6%. The settlement of the contingent consideration liabilities will be due to the seller in the event the license agreement is extended or if the Company is successful in its bid for a casino license.

*Fair Value Option Equity Method Investment*

The Company has a long-term investment in an unconsolidated entity which it accounts for under the equity method of accounting. The Company has elected the fair value option allowed by ASC 825, with respect to this investment. Under the fair value option, the investment is remeasured at fair value at each reporting period through earnings. The Company measures fair value using quoted prices in active markets that are classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy, with changes to fair value included within Other non-operating income (expense), net of the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

*Investment in GLPI Partnership*

The Company holds a limited partnership interest in GLP Capital, L.P., the operating partnership of GLPI. The investment is reported at fair value based on Level 2 inputs, with changes to fair value included within Other non-operating income (expense), net of the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

*The Star Investment - Fair Value Option*

As described in Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", during the three months ended June 30, 2025 (Successor), the Company invested A$22.2 million of Convertible Notes and A$111.1 million of Subordinated Notes in The Star. These investments are accounted for as debt securities under ASC 320, *Investments - Debt Securities*, for which the Company has elected the fair value option allowed by ASC 825. Under the fair value option, the investment is remeasured at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value included within Other non-operating income (expense), net. For the period ended June 30, 2025 (Successor), the Company recognized $0.9 million of interest income from the Star Investment, which it has elected to present as part of the total change in fair value. The company measures fair value using binomial lattice model as well as discounted cash flow model, classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. Inputs to the valuation approach include the stock price and credit rating of The Star, volatility of 40%, recovery rate of 10%, risk free rate of 3.3%, and the Company's estimate of the probability of default.

*Long-Term Debt*

The fair value of the Company's Term Loan Facility and senior notes are estimated based on quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1 measurements. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility approximates its carrying amount as it is revolving, variable rate debt, and is also classified as a Level 1 measurement. In the table below, the carrying amounts of the Company's long-term debt are net of debt issuance costs and debt discounts. Refer to Note 15 "Long-Term Debt" for further information.

In connection with the closing of the Merger on February 7, 2025, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement and issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of first lien senior secured notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes") at an annual interest rate of 11%, payable in cash quarterly in arrears, beginning on April 1, 2025. The 2028 Notes were issued by the Company and certain of its restricted subsidiaries that guarantee the Company's obligations under its Credit Agreement as guarantors, Alter Domus (US) LLC as the note agent and collateral agent, and the purchasers party thereto.

The indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, (1) incur additional indebtedness, (2) pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments, (3) enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (4) sell or otherwise dispose of assets, (5) create or incur liens and (6) merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of the Company's assets. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications set forth in the indenture.

*Credit Facility*

On October 1, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders party thereto, 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 will mature in 2028, and a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $620.0 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), which will mature in 2026.

The credit facilities allow the Company to increase the size of the Term Loan Facility or 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 $650.0 million and 100% 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 as set out in the Credit Agreement.

The credit facilities are 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.

As of June 30, 2023, with the discontinuation of the LIBOR reference rate, borrowings under the credit facilities bear 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 0.50% in the case of term loans and 0.00% in the case of revolving loans 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%, (d) solely in the case of term loans, 1.50% and (e) solely in the case of revolving loans, 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 0.50% or 0.375% commitment fee in respect of commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, with the applicable commitment fee determined based on the Company's total net leverage ratio.

The credit facilities contain covenants 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. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Facility contains a financial covenant regarding a maximum first lien net leverage ratio that applies when borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility exceed 30% of the total revolving commitment. As of June 30, 2025 (Successor), the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

In an effort to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with the Company's variable rate credit facilities, the Company utilizes interest rate and cross currency swap derivative instruments. Refer to Note 11 "Derivative Instruments" for further information.

**16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LEASES**

*<u>Operating Leases</u>*

The Company is committed under various operating lease agreements for real estate and property used in operations. Certain leases include various renewal options which are included in the lease term when the Company has determined it is reasonably certain of exercising the options. Certain of these leases include percentage rent payments based on property revenues and/or rent escalation provisions determined by increases in the consumer price index ("CPI"). These percentage rent and escalation provisions are treated as variable lease payments and recognized as lease expense in the period in which the obligation for those payments are incurred. Discount rates used to determine the present value of the lease payments are based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate commensurate with the term of the lease.

The Company had total operating lease liabilities of $2.12 billion and $1.62 billion as of June 30, 2025 (Successor) and December 31, 2024 (Predecessor), respectively, and right of use assets of $1.93 billion and $1.54 billion as of June 30, 2025 (Successor) and December 31, 2024 (Predecessor), respectively, which were included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company's Bally's Kansas City and Bally's Shreveport properties are leased under the terms of the "Master Lease No. 2" which requires combined initial minimum annual payments of $32.2 million. All components of the Master Lease and Master Lease No. 2 are accounted for as operating leases within the provisions of ASC 842, *Leases* ("ASC 842"), over the lease term or until a re-assessment event occurs. Both leases have an initial term of 15 years and include four, five-year options to renew and are subject to a minimum 1% annual escalation or greater escalation dependent on CPI. The renewal options are not reasonably certain of exercise as of June 30, 2025 (Successor).

**18.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

*Litigation*

The Company is a party to other various legal and administrative proceedings which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. Estimated losses are accrued for these proceedings when the loss is probable and can be estimated. The current liability for the estimated losses associated with these proceedings is not material to the Company's consolidated financial condition and those estimated losses are not expected to have a material impact on results of operations. Although the Company maintains what it believes is adequate insurance coverage to mitigate the risk of loss pertaining to covered matters, legal and administrative proceedings can be costly, time-consuming and unpredictable.

Although no assurance can be given, the Company does not believe that the final outcome of these matters, including costs to defend itself in such matters, will have a material adverse effect on the company's condensed consolidated financial statements. Further, no assurance can be given that the amount or scope of existing insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover losses arising from such matters.

*Capital Expenditure Commitments*

<u>Bally's Twin River</u> - Pursuant to the terms of the Regulatory Agreement in Rhode Island, the Company is committed to invest $100 million in its Rhode Island properties over the term of the master contract through June 30, 2043, including an expansion and the addition of new amenities at Bally's Twin River. As of June 30, 2025 (Successor), approximately $42.0 million of the commitment remains.

<u>Bally's Chicago</u> - Pursuant to the Host Community Agreement with the City of Chicago, the Company's indirect subsidiary is required to spend at least $1.34 billion on the design, construction and outfitting of the temporary casino and the permanent resort and casino. The actual cost of the development may exceed this minimum capital investment requirement. In addition, land acquisition costs and financing costs, among other types of costs, are not counted toward meeting this requirement. As of

June 30, 2025 (Successor), approximately $965.7 million of this commitment remains.

*City of Chicago Guaranty*

In connection with the Host Community Agreement, entered into by Bally's Chicago Operating Company, LLC (the "Developer"), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, the Company provided the City of Chicago with a performance guaranty whereby the Company agreed to have and maintain available financial resources in an amount reasonably sufficient to allow the Developer to complete its obligations under the host community agreement. In addition, upon notice from the City of Chicago that the Developer has failed to perform various obligations under the Host Community Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the City of Chicago against any and all liability, claim or reasonable and documented expense the City of Chicago may suffer or incur by reason of any nonperformance of any of the Developer's obligations.

As of June 30, 2025 (Successor), the cumulative minimum obligation committed in these agreements is approximately $37.6 million through 2029.

**19.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SEGMENT REPORTING**

The Company has three operating and reportable segments: Casinos & Resorts, International Interactive and North America Interactive. The "Corporate & Other" category includes interest expense, select immaterial operating segments, unallocated corporate operating expenses, and other adjustments, such as eliminations of inter-segment transactions, to reconcile with the Company's consolidated results. This category further accounts for other expenses such as share-based compensation, acquisition and transaction costs, and other non-recurring charges.

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company moved a component of the North America Interactive operating segment to a separate operating segment, which is reported in the Corporate & Other category, to better align with the Company's strategic growth initiatives and how its chief operating decision maker evaluates performance and allocates resources. Comparable prior period segment results have been re-cast to reflect this change. The prior year results presented below were reclassified to conform to the new segment presentation.

The Company's three reportable segments as of June 30, 2025 (Successor) are:

<u>Casinos & Resorts</u> - Includes the Company's 19 casino and resort properties, one horse racetrack and one golf course.

<u>International Interactive</u> - Includes the Company's interactive European gaming operations, the Company's global licensing revenue generating operations, as well as one casino property, Bally's Newcastle, in the UK.

<u>North America Interactive</u> - A portfolio of sports betting, iGaming, and free-to-play gaming brands.

The Company's chief operating decision maker is its Executive Committee, consisting of the Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer. The Company uses consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR to analyze the performance of its business and they are used as determining factors for performance-based compensation for members of the Company's management team. The Company uses consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR when evaluating the operating performance of the business because management believes that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items is necessary to provide a more fulsome understanding of the core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period performance.

Management believes segment Adjusted EBITDAR is representative of its ongoing business operations including its ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and operations, in addition to it being a commonly used measure of performance in the gaming industry and used by industry analysts to evaluate operations and operating performance.

The Company has Penny Warrants which participate in dividends with the Company's common stock subject to certain contingencies. In the period in which the contingencies are met, those instruments are participating securities to which income will be allocated using the two-class method. The Penny Warrants were considered exercisable for little to no consideration and are therefore included in basic shares outstanding at their issuance date.

**21.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SUBSEQUENT EVENTS** 

*Transaction Agreement - International Interactive Business*

On July 1, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors, authorized the Company to enter into a definitive transaction agreement (the "Transaction Agreement") with Intralot S.A., a Greek publicly listed company ("Intralot"). Following the expiration of a 10-day statutory waiting period under Greek law, the Company and Intralot entered into the Transaction Agreement on July 18, 2025, pursuant to which, at the closing (the "Closing") of the transactions contemplated therein (the "Transactions"), Intralot will directly and/or indirectly acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Bally's Holdings Limited, a Jersey limited company and subsidiary of the Company holding the Company's "International Interactive" business, in exchange for total consideration valued at approximately €2.7 billion, consisting of (i) €1.5 billion in cash, subject to adjustment, and (ii) 873,707,073 newly issued ordinary shares of Intralot ("Intralot Shares") at an implied value of €1.30 per Intralot Share. As a result of the Transactions, the Company is expected to become the majority shareholder of Intralot.

The Closing, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025, is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain mutual closing conditions, including (i) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the receipt of clearance under applicable non-U.S. antitrust law, (ii) the receipt of certain gaming regulatory clearances, (iii) the receipt of Intralot shareholder approval, (iv) the closing of an intended offering by Intralot of newly-issued Intralot Shares for cash, (v) the listing on the Athens Exchange of the Intralot Shares to be received by the Company in the Transactions, and (vi) Intralot's receipt of debt financing. In that respect, a subsidiary of Intralot has obtained commitments from Citizens Bank, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, and Jefferies for debt financing up to €1.6 billion, which is expected to be refinanced through the debt capital markets and is subject to certain conditions.

As discussed in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", effective June 30, 2025, an existing loan receivable to the Company was settled through payment of shares of Intralot, and the Company also purchased additional shares in Intralot, which increased the Company's ownership interest in Intralot from 26.86% to 33.34%, following which a mandatory tender offer obligation for the remaining outstanding shares of Intralot has been triggered subsequent to period-end.

*One Big Beautiful Bill*

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill ("OBBB"), which resulted in many tax extensions and other rule changes, including the following which will have an effect on the Company's tax provision in 2025 or 2026:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Full expensing of U.S. research and development costs under Section 174A

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Retroactive expensing of unamortized U.S. research and development costs capitalized between 2022 and 2024; either all in 2025, or over two years in 2025 and 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Return of the Section 163(j) taxable income base excluding the deductions for depreciation and amortization in 2025 (change from "Tax EBIT" to "Tax EBITDA").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Decrease in the Section 250 deduction for Net CFC Tested Income (formerly GILTI) to 40% (from 50%) in 2026, instead of the scheduled decrease to 37.5% prior to the OBBB.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Decrease in the Section 250 deduction for foreign-derived income to 33.34% (from 37.5%) in 2026, instead of the scheduled decrease to 21.875% prior to the OBBB.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increase in the foreign tax credit rate on Net CFC Tested Income (formerly GILTI) to 90% (from 80%), and a 10% disallowance on repatriation, in 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Removal of the allocation of interest expense and research and development expense to Net CFC Tested Income (formerly GILTI) in calculating the foreign tax credit limitation, effective in 2026.

The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the OBBB on its future interim and annual financial statements. The Company's deferred tax asset for U.S. research and development costs may be reversed in subsequent financial statements, decreasing tax payable for a similar amount or increasing other tax attributes; and this research deduction may have an effect on the Section 163(j) limitation; as such, the full effect of the OBBB is not practical to estimate at this time.

*Chicago MLA*

On July 17, 2025, the Company entered into the Chicago MLA, as described in Note 11 "Leases," with GLP, that amended the existing ground lease for the property on which the Company plans to develop its Permanent Facility and a development agreement with GLP (the "Chicago Development Agreement") pursuant to which GLP has committed to advance up to $940 million (the "GLP Development Advances") for the payment of hard costs used to construct the Permanent Facility in exchange for increasing the amount of rent payable to GLP under the Chicago MLA.

The Chicago MLA has an initial term of 15 years and includes four, five-year options to renew and is subject to annual escalation. Annual rent under the Chicago MLA is $20 million, with additional rent equal to 8.5% of the GLP Development Advances that are granted to the Company. The amended and restated ground lease will be accounted for as a lease modification event in the third quarter of 2025. The Company expects to begin drawing on the advance under the Chicago Development Agreement and thus incurring increased rent in the third quarter of 2025.

**ITEM 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

**Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the securities laws. Forward-looking statements are statements as to matters that are not historical facts, and include statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions. Although we believe that our expectations and assumptions are reasonable at this time, they should not be regarded as representations that our expectations will be achieved. Actual results may vary materially. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the time of this report and we do not undertake to update or revise them as more information becomes available, except as required by law.

Important factors beyond those that apply to most businesses, some of which are beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and assumptions include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unexpected costs and other events impacting our planned construction projects, including Bally's Chicago;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risks associated with our pending Transaction with Intralot, including risks related to obtaining required regulatory, shareholder and other approvals and our ability to realize anticipated benefits of the Transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unexpected costs, difficulties integrating and other events impacting our completed acquisitions and our ability to realize anticipated benefits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* risks associated with our rapid growth, including those affecting customer and employee retention, integration and controls;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* risks associated with the impact of the digitalization of gaming on our casino operations, our expansion into online gaming ("iGaming") and sports betting and the highly competitive and rapidly changing aspects of our interactive businesses generally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* the very substantial regulatory restrictions applicable to us, including costs of compliance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• global economic challenges, including the impact of public health crises, global and regional conflicts, rising inflation, rising interest rates and supply-chain disruptions, could cause economic uncertainty and volatility and impact discretionary consumer spending;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrictions and limitations in agreements to which we are subject, including our debt, could significantly affect our ability to operate our business and our liquidity; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* other risks identified in Part I. Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of Bally's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on March 15, 2025 and other filings with the SEC.

The foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive and does not include matters like changes in general economic conditions that affect substantially all gaming businesses.

You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

**Overview**

We are a global gaming, hospitality and entertainment company with a portfolio of casinos and resorts and a growing omni-channel presence. We provide our customers with physical and interactive entertainment and gaming experiences, including traditional casino offerings, iGaming, online bingo, sportsbook and free-to-play ("F2P") games.

As of June 30, 2025, we own and manage 19 casinos in 11 states across the United States ("US"), one golf course in New York, one horse racetrack in Colorado, and Aspers Casino in the United Kingdom ("UK") ("Bally's Newcastle"). In February 2025, we merged with The Queen Casino & Entertainment Inc. ("Queen") adding four additional casinos to our portfolio. We also own Bally Bet Sportsbook & Casino, a first-in-class sports betting and iCasino platform, Bally's International Interactive division, a leading global interactive gaming operator concentrated in Europe, and a significant stake in Intralot S.A. ("Intralot"), a global lottery management and services business. Our revenues are primarily generated by these gaming and entertainment offerings. Our proprietary software and technology stack is designed to allow us to provide consumers with differentiated offerings and exclusive content.

**Our Strategy and Business Developments**

We seek to continue to grow our business by actively pursuing the acquisition and development of new gaming opportunities and reinvesting in our existing operations. We believe that interactive gaming represents a significant strategic opportunity for the future growth of Bally's and we will continue to actively focus resources in markets that we believe will regulate iGaming. We seek to increase revenues at our casinos and resorts through enhancing the guest experience by providing popular games, restaurants, hotel accommodations, entertainment and other amenities in attractive surroundings with high-quality guest service. We believe that our recent acquisitions have expanded and diversified us from financial and market exposure perspectives, while continuing to mitigate our susceptibility to regional economic downturns, idiosyncratic regulatory changes and increases in regional competition.

We continue to make progress on the integration of our acquired assets and deploying capital on our strategic growth projects. These steps have positioned us as a prominent, full-service, vertically integrated iGaming company, with physical casinos and online gaming solutions united under a single, leading brand.

**Agreement and Plan of Merger**

On February 7, 2025, the Company completed the previously announced transactions under the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the "Merger Agreement") with SG Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Parent"), The Queen Casino & Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation and affiliate of Parent ("Queen"), Epsilon Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub I"), Epsilon Sub II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub II", and together with the Company and Merger Sub I, the "Company Parties"), and, solely for purposes of specified provisions thereof, SG CQ Gaming LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("SG Gaming" and together with Parent and Queen, the "Buyer Parties"). Refer to Note 1 "General Information" in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on the Merger Agreement and the mergers.

*Transaction Agreement - International Interactive Business*

On July 1, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors, authorized the Company to enter into a definitive transaction agreement (the "Transaction Agreement") with Intralot S.A., a Greek publicly listed company ("Intralot"). Following the expiration of a 10-day statutory waiting period under Greek law, the Company and Intralot entered into the Transaction Agreement on July 18, 2025, pursuant to which, at the closing (the "Closing") of the transactions contemplated therein (the "Transactions"), Intralot will directly and/or indirectly acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Bally's Holdings Limited, a Jersey limited company and subsidiary of the Company holding the Company's "International Interactive" business, in exchange for total consideration valued at approximately €2.7 billion, consisting of (i) €1.5 billion in cash, subject to adjustment, and (ii) 873,707,073 newly issued ordinary shares of Intralot ("Intralot Shares") at an implied value of €1.30 per Intralot Share. As a result of the Transactions, the Company is expected to become the majority shareholder of Intralot. A substantial portion of the cash proceeds from the transaction are expected to be used to pay down any drawings under the revolver and other secured debt resulting in enhanced liquidity and significant reduction in Bally's 2028 secured debt. Any remaining proceeds will be for general corporate purposes including investments in capital expenditures and ongoing development projects.

------

The Closing, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025, is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain mutual closing conditions, including (i) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the receipt of clearance under applicable non-U.S. antitrust law, (ii) the receipt of certain gaming regulatory clearances, (iii) the receipt of Intralot shareholder approval, (iv) the closing of an intended offering by Intralot of newly-issued Intralot Shares for cash, (v) the listing on the Athens Exchange of the Intralot Shares to be received by the Company in the Transactions, and (vi) Intralot's receipt of debt financing. In that respect, a subsidiary of Intralot has obtained commitments from Citizens Bank, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, and Jefferies for debt financing up to €1.6 billion (which is expected to be refinanced through the debt capital markets and is subject to certain conditions).

**Rhode Island Regulatory Agreement** 

We are party to an Amended and Restated Regulatory Agreement (the "Regulatory Agreement"), with the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation ("DBR") and the State Lottery Division of the Rhode Island Department of Revenue ("DoL"). The Regulatory Agreement contains financial and other covenants that, among other things, (i) restrict the acquisition of stock and other financial interests in us, (ii) relate to the licensing and composition of members of our management and Board of Directors (the "Board"), (iii) prohibit certain competitive activities and related-party transactions and (iv) restrict our ability to declare or make restricted payments (including dividends), incur additional indebtedness or take certain other actions, if our leverage ratio exceeds 5.50 to 1.00 (in general being gross debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA, each as defined in the Regulatory Agreement).

The Regulatory Agreement also provides affirmative obligations, including setting a minimum number of employees that we must employ in Rhode Island and providing the DBR and DoL with periodic information updates about us. Among other things, the Regulatory Agreement prohibits us and our subsidiaries from owning, operating, managing or providing gaming specific goods and services to any properties in Rhode Island (other than Bally's Twin River and Bally's Tiverton), Massachusetts, Connecticut or New Hampshire. A failure to comply with the Regulatory Agreement could subject us to injunctive and monetary relief, and ultimately the revocation or suspension of our licenses to operate in Rhode Island.

The DoL also has regulatory authority over Bally's under our VLT master contracts with the DoL. Our master contracts with Rhode Island extended through June 30, 2043, and allow for consolidation of promotional points between Bally's Twin River and Bally's Tiverton, obligate Bally's Twin River to build a 50,000 square foot expansion, obligate Bally's to lease at least 20,000 square feet of commercial space in Providence, and commit us to invest $100 million in Rhode Island over the term, including an expansion and the addition of new amenities at Bally's Twin River. As a licensed Technology Provider since July 1, 2021, Bally's Twin River is entitled to an additional share of net terminal income on Video Lottery Terminals ("VLTs") which they owned or leased. June 2021 legislation in Rhode Island also authorized a joint venture between Bally's and IGT Global Solutions Corporation ("IGT") to become a licensed technology provider and supply the State of Rhode Island with all VLTs at both Bally's Twin River and Bally's Tiverton for a 20.5-year period starting January 1, 2023. The joint venture was organized as the Rhode Island VLT Company, LLC, with IGT owning 60% of the membership interests and Bally's or its affiliates owning 40% of the membership interests ("RI Joint Venture"). On December 30, 2022, Bally's Twin River and Bally's Tiverton purchased additional machines directly from IGT to effectively own 40% of the machines. On January 1, 2023, Bally's Twin River and Bally's Tiverton contributed all of their machines to the RI Joint Venture in return for an aggregate 40% membership interest, and IGT contributed all of their machines at Bally's Twin River and Bally's Tiverton to the RI Joint Venture in return for a 60% membership interest.

**Macroeconomic and Other Factors**

Our business is subject to risks caused by global economic challenges, including those caused by public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of global and regional conflicts, rising inflation, rising interest rates and supply-chain disruptions, that can cause economic uncertainty and volatility. These challenges can negatively impact discretionary consumer spending and could result in a reduction in visitors to our properties, including those that stay in our hotels, or discretionary spending by our customers on entertainment and leisure activities. In addition, inflation generally affects our business by increasing our cost of labor. In periods of sustained inflation, it may be difficult to effectively control such increases to our costs and retain key personnel.

**Key Performance Indicators**

The key performance indicator used in managing our business is consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR which are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings, or loss, for the Company, or where noted its reporting segments, before, in each case, interest expense, net of interest income, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-operating (income) expense, acquisition and other transaction related costs, share-based compensation and certain other gains or losses as well as, when presented for our reporting segments, an adjustment related to the allocation of corporate cost among segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) for the Company's reportable segments, plus rent expense associated with triple net operating leases with GLPI for the real estate assets used in the operation of the Bally's casinos and the assumption of the lease for real estate and land underlying the operations of the Bally's Lake Tahoe property.

------

We use consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR to analyze the performance of our business and they are used as determining factors for performance-based compensation for members of our management team. We use consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items is necessary to provide a more fulsome understanding of our core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period performance. Also, we present consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR because they are used by some investors and creditors as indicators of the strength and performance of ongoing business operations, including our ability to service debt, and to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and operations. These calculations are commonly used as a basis for investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR information is presented because management believes that they are commonly used measures of performance in the gaming industry and that they are considered by many to be key indicators of our operating results.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR is used outside of our financial statements solely as a valuation metric. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR is defined as consolidated Adjusted EBITDA plus rent expense associated with triple net operating leases. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR is an additional metric used by analysts in valuing gaming companies subject to triple net leases since it eliminates the effects of variability in leasing methods and capital structures. This metric is included as supplemental disclosure because (i) we believe Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR is used by gaming operator analysts and investors to determine the equity value of gaming operators and (ii) financial analysts refer to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR when valuing our business. We believe Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR is useful for equity valuation purposes because (i) its calculation isolates the effects of financing real estate, and (ii) using a multiple of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR to calculate enterprise value allows for an adjustment to the balance sheet to recognize estimated liabilities arising from operating leases related to real estate.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR should not be construed as alternatives to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as indicators of our performance. In addition, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR as used by us may not be defined in the same manner as other companies in our industry, and, as a result, may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR should not be viewed as a measure of overall operating performance or considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, because it excludes the rent expense associated with our triple net operating leases with GLPI and the lease for real estate and land underlying the operations of the Bally's Lake Tahoe property.

*Segment Performance*

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company moved a component of the North America Interactive operating segment to a separate operating segment, which is reported in the Corporate & Other category, to better align with the Company's strategic growth initiatives and how its chief operating decision maker evaluates performance and allocates resources. Comparable prior period segment results have been re-cast to reflect this change. The prior year results presented below were reclassified to conform to the new segment presentation.

Total revenue for the Successor three months ended June 30, 2025 increased 6% or $35.9 million to $657.5 million from $621.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor). Total revenue for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 increased 1%, or $6.6 million, from $1.24 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor). Revenue for Casinos & Resorts was up approximately 14.7%, or $50.3 million for the Successor three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same Predecessor period last year, and up 8.6%, or $59.1 million, for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly due to the contribution of Queen, offset by negative impacts of severe weather conditions across our portfolio in January and February. The Queen contributed to total revenues in the amounts of $61.3 million for the Successor three months ended June 30, 2025 and $96.0 million for the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025. International interactive revenue was down 10.2%, or $23.3 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same Predecessor period last year and down 14.3% for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the sale of portions of our international interactive business in Asia in the fourth quarter of 2024. North America Interactive segment revenues increased $10.0 million, or 21.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same Predecessor period last year and were up 17% or $14.9 million for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly due to the expanding iGaming and BallyBet sports presence in addition to our focus on productive marketing and optimizing our cost structure.

*Gaming and Non-gaming Expenses*

Gaming and non-gaming expenses for the Successor three months ended June 30, 2025 increased 1.8%, or $5.2 million, from $284.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor) due to the increase in revenues year over year. Gaming and non-gaming expenses for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 were relatively flat, decreasing 2.1%, or $11.9 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

*General and Administrative*

General and Administrative expense for the Successor three months ended June 30, 2025 increased 18.1% or $45.8 million, from $252.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor).

------

General and Administrative expense for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 compared to the Predecessor six months ended June 30, 2024, increased 14.4% or $72.1 million, from $500.9 million. These increases in the respective quarter to date and year to date comparable periods were mainly attributable to additional costs for the Queen properties or $49.5 million and $76.7 million, respectively and costs incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement, $4.5 million and $30.1 million, respectively.

*Depreciation and Amortization*

Depreciation and Amortization expense for the Successor three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the Successor three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $7.1 million, or 8.9%. Depreciation and Amortization expense for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 decreased $97.0 million or 40.7% from $238.5 million for the Predecessor six months ended June 30, 2024. Quarter and year to date changes year over year are primarily due to the closure of our Tropicana Las Vegas property in the first quarter of 2024. The Company recorded $80.1 million of accelerated depreciation related to the closure in the first quarter of 2024.

*Income (Loss) From Operations*

The decrease in income (loss) from operations for the Successor three months ended June 30, 2025 and the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 of $8.0 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor).

*Other Income (Expense)*

The $26.7 million decrease in other expense for the Successor three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor) was primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense due to higher borrowings and interest rates of our borrowings year-over-year, offset by a $60.7 million gain related to the fair value of our investment in Intralot. The increase in other expense for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 compared to the Predecessor six months ended June 30, 2024 resulted from increased interest expense, as previously noted, and a $17.4 million loss on extinguishment of debt, offset by a $66.3 million gain related to the fair value of our investment in Intralot.

*Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes*

During the period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 (Successor), the period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 (Predecessor) and the six months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor), the Company recorded a provision for income tax of $88.3 million, $0.7 million, and $29.9 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 (Successor), period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 (Predecessor), and the six months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor) was (83.69)%, (1.32)% and (14.63)%, respectively.

As of June 30, 2025 (Successor), the Company projects an annual tax provision relative to its pre-tax loss in the US due to the valuation allowance on interest, and a tax provision internationally relative to its pre-tax income, which results in a combined -99.0% annual effective tax rate, as the combined pre-tax income by jurisdiction is minimized.

*Net Income (Loss) and Earnings (Loss) Per Share*

Net loss for the Successor three months ended June 30, 2025 was $228.4 million compared to $60.2 million net loss for the Predecessor three months ended June 30, 2024. Net loss for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 was $244.9 million compared to $234.1 million in the Predecessor six months ended June 30, 2024. These changes were all primarily attributable to the factors noted above.

*Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR by Segment*

Adjusted EBITDA was $129.2 million for the Successor three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $130.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor). Adjusted EBITDA was $24.4 million for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and $212.5 million for the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 compared to $130.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor).

------

Adjusted EBITDAR for the Casinos & Resorts segment was $106.0 million for the Successor three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $99.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor). Adjusted EBITDAR was $23.6 million for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and $177.5 million for the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 compared to $189.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor). For the second quarter of 2025 Casino & Resorts improved compared to the same period last year with inclusion of our new Queen properties being partially offset by competitive market conditions most notably in Shreveport, Evansville, and Dover. Overall the competitive headwind is partially mitigated by our continued focus on operational efficiencies.

Adjusted EBITDAR for the International Interactive segment was $82.2 million for the Successor three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $81.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor) and was $28.9 million for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and $130.4 million for the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 compared to $164.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor). Improvement in the second quarter 2025 compared to same period last year reflects the new Asia royalty business. Overall, revenue improved with lower expenses that are the result of our continued focus on costs and efficiencies with an improving FX landscape for our European markets.

Adjusted EBITDAR for the North America Interactive segment was $2.5 million for the Successor three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to Adjusted EBITDAR loss of $2.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor). Adjusted EBITDAR loss of $5.7 million for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and Adjusted EBITDAR of $0.1 million for the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 compared to Adjusted EBITDAR loss of $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor). Second quarter 2025 results compared to 2024 improved for the segment with the inclusion of the Queen's sports business coupled with strong top-line growth in our iGaming and on-line sports betting business.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

*Valuation of Intangible Assets Acquired in Business Combinations*

Intangible assets consist primarily of gaming licenses, trade names, developed technology and customer lists which have been obtained through business combinations and internally developed software attributable to our interactive businesses.

Gaming licenses obtained through business combinations are generally recorded at their fair values through purchase accounting using the Greenfield Method under the income approach. This method estimates isolated income that properly attributable to a license based on modeling a hypothetical start-up company going into business without any other assets than the gaming license being valued and building a new casino with similar utility to the existing casino. Using this method, the valuation of the gaming license is dependent upon significant estimates such as projected revenues and cash flows, estimated construction costs, duration of that construction, pre-opening expenses and appropriate discounting. Gaming licenses accounted for as asset acquisitions are valued at cost.

Trade names obtained through business combinations are valued using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach. This method estimates the cost savings that accrue to the owner of an intangible asset who would otherwise have to pay royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. As such, the value of a trade name acquired through a business combination is dependent upon estimates such as projected revenues, selection of an appropriate hypothetical royalty rate and appropriate discounting.

Developed technology is obtained through business combinations and is recorded at fair value through purchase accounting using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method under the income approach. The principle behind this method is that the value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the incremental after tax cash flows attributable only to the subject intangible asset after deducting Contributory Asset Charges ("CACs"). The principle behind a CAC is that an intangible asset 'rents' or 'leases' from a hypothetical third party all the assets it requires to produce the cash flows resulting from its development, that each project rents only those assets it needs and not the ones that it does not need, and that each project pays the owner of the assets a fair return on the value of the rented assets. Under this method, the valuation of developed technology is dependent on estimates such as projected revenues and cash flows, CAC and appropriate discounting.

Certain trade names are considered to be indefinite lived based on future expectations of continuing to brand our corporate name and certain properties under the Bally's trade name indefinitely. Intangible assets not subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment annually as of October 1 and between annual test dates whenever events or changes in circumstances may indicate that the carrying amount of the related asset may not be recoverable.

For our finite-lived intangible assets, we establish a useful life upon initial recognition based on the period over which the asset is expected to contribute to the future cash flows of the Company and periodically evaluates the remaining useful lives to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization period. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their remaining useful lives in a pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed, which is generally on a straight-line basis.

There were no material changes to other critical accounting estimates during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a complete list of our Critical Accounting Estimates.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources** 

*Overview*

We are a holding company. Our ability to fund our obligations depends on existing cash on hand, cash flow from our subsidiaries and our ability to raise capital. Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have been cash on hand, cash flow from operations, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein) and proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity securities. We assess liquidity in terms of the ability to generate cash or obtain financing in order to fund operating, investing and debt service requirements. Our primary ongoing cash requirements include the funding of operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other investments in line with our business strategy and debt repayment obligations and interest payments. Our strategy has been to maintain moderate leverage and substantial capital resources in order to take advantage of opportunities, to invest in our businesses and acquire properties at what we believe to be attractive valuations. As such, we have continued to invest in our land-based casino business and build on our interactive/iGaming business. We believe that existing cash balances, operating cash flows and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, as explained below, will be sufficient to meet funding needs for operating, capital expenditure and debt service purposes.

*Operating Activities*

Net cash used in operating activities for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 was $21.4 million compared to $39.7 million net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor). Both the Successor and Predecessor periods were impacted by net income (loss) positions, depreciation and amortization and changes in working capital. The Successor period also incurred additional debt related costs, $17.4 million loss on extinguishment of debt and $35.5 million of amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs, in connection with the Merger. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor) was $39.7 million and was driven by a $234.1 million net loss in the quarter coupled with $80.1 million of accelerated depreciation related to our Tropicana Las Vegas assets.

*Investing Activities*

Net cash used in investing activities for the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 of $163.6 million and the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 of $17.7 million, compared to $87.6 million of cash used in investing for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (Predecessor) was driven by an $83.7 million loan issuance in connection with our investment in the Star, coupled with an increase in capital expenditures, offset by cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired.

------

*Financing Activities*

Net cash provided by financing activities for the Successor period February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 and the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 increased 264.0% or $157.9 million, from $59.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor). This increase was mainly attributable to higher net issuance of long-term debt in the Successor period February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 and Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 offset by cash paid for the Merger.

*Capital Return Program* 

As of June 30, 2025, there was $95.5 million available for use under the capital return program, subject to limitations in our regulatory and debt agreements. Future share repurchases may be effected in various ways, which could include open-market or private repurchase transactions, accelerated stock repurchase programs, tender offers or other transactions. The amount, timing and terms of any return of capital transaction will be determined based on prevailing market conditions and other factors. There is no fixed time period to complete share repurchases.

We did not pay cash dividends during the Successor three months ended June 30, 2025, the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 nor the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor), nor do we currently intend to pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determinations relating to our dividend policies will be made at the discretion of our Board and will depend on conditions then existing, including our financial condition, results of operations, contractual restrictions, capital and regulatory requirements and other factors our Board may deem relevant.

*Debt and Lease Obligations*

<u>Unsecured Notes</u>

On August 20, 2021, we issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior notes due 2029 and $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2031. On October 1, 2021, upon the closing of the Gamesys acquisition, we assumed the issuer obligation under the unsecured notes.

The indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments, (iii) enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (iv) sell or otherwise dispose of assets, (v) create or incur liens and (vi) merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of the Company's assets. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications set forth in the indenture.

<u>2028 Notes</u>

In connection with the closing of the Merger on February 7, 2025, we entered into a note purchase agreement and issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of first lien senior secured notes due October 2, 2028, at an annual interest rate of 11%, payable quarterly. These notes are guaranteed by our restricted subsidiaries and secured by the same collateral securing the Credit Facility. The agreement mandates redemption offers in certain situations, such as asset sales and unpermitted debt issuances, with specific redemption premiums applicable within the first two years. After two years, notes can be redeemed at par. The agreement also includes covenants limiting additional indebtedness, dividend payments, asset sales, investments, and liens, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications.

<u>Credit Facility</u>

On October 1, 2021, we entered into the Credit Agreement providing for a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.945 billion (the "Term Loan Facility"), which will mature in 2028, and a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $620.0 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), which will mature in 2026.

The credit facilities allow us to increase the size of the Term Loan Facility or 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 $650 million and 100% 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 credit facilities contain covenants 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. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes certain financial covenants the Company is required to maintain throughout the term of the credit facility. These financial covenants include a provision where, in the event borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility exceed 30% of the total revolving commitment, the Company is required to maintain a first lien secured indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 5.00 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants.

During 2023, the Company entered into certain currency swaps to synthetically convert $500 million of its Term Loan Facility to an equivalent fixed-rate Euro-denominated instrument, due October 2028, with a weighted average fixed interest rate of approximately 6.69% per annum. The Company also entered into additional currency swaps to synthetically convert $200 million, notional, of its floating rate Term Loan Facility, to an equivalent GBP-denominated floating rate instrument, due October 2026. Additionally, as part of the Company's risk management program to manage its overall interest rate exposure, the Company entered into a notional aggregate amount of $500 million interest rate collar arrangements maturing in 2028 where the Company's SOFR floating rate interest under its Term Loan Facility is capped at 4.25%, with a weighted average SOFR floor rate of 3.22%, pursuant to the interest rate collar arrangements.

During 2024, the Company settled $500.0 million of notional interest rate collars and received $3.9 million in termination payments, reflecting the fair value on the settlement date. Additionally, the Company simultaneously entered into a series of interest rate contracts in a notional aggregate amount of $1.00 billion, to further manage the Company's exposure to interest rate movements associated with the Company's variable rate Term Loan Facility through its synthetic conversion to fixed rate debt. The tenor of these contracts were matched with the maturity of the Term Loan Facility tranche maturing on October 1, 2028.

Refer to Note 11 "Derivative Instruments" and Note 15 "Long-Term Debt" in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

<u>Operating Leases</u> 

The Company is committed under various operating lease agreements for real estate and property used in operations. Minimum rent payable under operating leases was $5.23 billion as of June 30, 2025, of which $121.5 million is due within the current year. Refer to Note 16 "Leases" in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

<u>GLPI Leases</u>

As of June 30, 2025 (Successor), the Company leases certain properties from GLPI under two separate master lease agreements, the "Master Lease," and the "Master Lease No. 2." The Company's Bally's Evansville, Bally's Dover, Bally's Quad Cities, Bally's Black Hawk, Bally's Tiverton and Hard Rock Biloxi properties are leased under the terms of the "Master Lease" which requires combined initial minimum annual payments of $101.5 million. The Company's Bally's Kansas City and Bally's Shreveport properties are leased under the terms of the "Master Lease No. 2" which requires combined initial minimum annual payments of $32.2 million. Both leases have an initial term of 15 years and include four, five-year options to renew and are subject to a minimum 1% annual escalation or greater escalation dependent on CPI.

Following the Merger, the Company also has a master lease agreement through Queen with GLPI, the "Queen Master Lease", with The Queen Baton Rouge, The Belle of Baton Rouge, Casino Queen Marquette and DraftKings at Casino Queen properties being leased under the terms of the Queen Master Lease, which requires combined initial minimum annual payments of $31.7 million. The Queen Master Lease has an initial term of 15 years and include four, five-year options to renew and is subject to annual escalation.

In addition to the properties under the master leases explained above, the Company also entered into a lease with GLPI for the land associated with Tropicana Las Vegas. This lease has an initial term of 50 years, with the possibility of extending up to 99 years through renewal options, and requires initial minimum annual payments of $10.5 million, subject to minimum 1% annual escalation or greater escalation dependent on CPI. In 2024, the Company modified the lease and GLPI paid $48.6 million to the Company to fund the demolition of the building at the Tropicana Las Vegas site in exchange for increasing initial annual payments by $4.1 million, subject to a minimum 1% annual increase or greater based on CPI, for a total modified initial minimum annual payment of $14.6 million.

------

On July 17, 2025, the Company entered into the Chicago MLA, as described in Note 16 "Leases", with GLP, that amended the existing ground lease for the property on which the Company plans to develop its Permanent Facility and a development agreement with GLP pursuant to which GLP has committed to advance up to $940 million for the payment of hard costs used to construct the Permanent Facility in exchange for increasing the amount of rent payable to GLP under the Chicago MLA.

The Chicago MLA has an initial term of 15 years and includes four, five-year options to renew and is subject to annual escalation. Annual rent under the Chicago MLA is $20 million, with additional rent equal to 8.5% of the GLP Development Advances that granted to the Company. The amended and restated ground lease will be accounted for as a lease modification event in the third quarter of 2025. The Company expects to begin drawing on the advance under the Chicago Development Agreement and thus incurring increased rent in the third quarter of 2025.

*Capital Expenditures*

Capital expenditures are accounted for as either project, maintenance or capitalized software expenditures. Project capital expenditures are for fixed asset additions that expand an existing facility or create a new facility. Maintenance capital expenditures are expenditures to replace existing fixed assets with a useful life greater than one year that are obsolete, worn out or no longer cost effective to repair, along with spending on other small projects that do not fit into the project category. Capitalized software expenditures relate to the creation, production and preparation of software for use in our online gaming operations.

Capital expenditures for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 were $95.8 million compared to $63.8 million for the Predecessor six months ended June 30, 2025. For the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to June 30, 2025 and the Predecessor Period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025, we continued our spending on our planned projects and maintenance at our casino properties, the most significant being our future Bally's Chicago permanent facility.

<u>Bally's Twin River</u> - In connection with our partnership with IGT, we have committed to invest $100 million in Bally's Twin River over the term of our master contract, ending in 2043, with Rhode Island to expand the property and add additional amenities along with other capital improvements. As a major component of this, we have constructed and opened a 14,000 square foot Korean-style spa, and a 40,000 square foot casino expansion, both of which opened in the first half of 2023. Approximately $42.0 million of the committed investment remains as of June 30, 2025.

<u>Bally's Chicago</u> - On June 9, 2022, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, Bally's Chicago Operating Company, LLC (the "Developer"), signed a host community agreement with the City of Chicago to develop a destination casino resort, to be named Bally's Chicago, in downtown Chicago, Illinois that will include approximately 3,400 slot machines, 170 table games, 10 food and beverage venues, 500 hotel rooms, a 65,000 square foot entertainment and event center, 20,000 square feet of exhibition space, 3,300 parking spaces and an outdoor green space. The project also provides the Company with the exclusive right to operate a temporary casino for up to three years while the permanent casino resort is constructed. The temporary casino commenced operations on September 9, 2023 at the Medinah Temple and includes approximately 800 gaming positions and 3 food and beverage venues. In 2024, we spent approximately $133.6 million related to the construction and development of our permanent casino and resort, which is expected to open to the public in 2026. We expect future funding of the permanent casino construction to be primarily financed through the GPLI agreement noted above.

In connection with the entry into the host community agreement with the City of Chicago, the Company will be required to pay annual fixed host community impact fees of $4.0 million. Additionally, in connection with the host community agreement, the Company provided the City of Chicago with a performance guaranty whereby the Company agreed to have and maintain available financial resources in an amount reasonably sufficient to allow the Developer to complete its obligations under the host community agreement. In addition, upon notice from the City of Chicago that the Developer has failed to perform various obligations under the host community agreement, the Company has indemnified the City of Chicago against any and all liability, claim or reasonable and documented expense the City of Chicago may suffer or incur by reason of any nonperformance of any of the Developer's obligations.

In furtherance of these obligations, the host community agreement requires us to spend at least $1.34 billion on the design, construction and outfitting of our temporary casino and our permanent resort and casino. The actual cost of the development may exceed this minimum capital investment requirement. In addition, land acquisition costs and financing costs, among other types of costs, do not count towards satisfying such minimum expenditure.

*Other Contractual Obligations*

<u>Sponsorship Commitments</u> - The Company has entered into several sponsorship agreements with various professional sports leagues and teams, allowing the Company use of official league marks for branding and promotions, among other rights. As of June 30, 2025, obligations related to these agreements were $114.3 million, with contracts extending through 2036.

<u>Interactive Technology Partnerships</u> - The Company has certain multi-year agreements with its various market access and content providers, as well as its online sports betting platform partners, that require the Company to pay variable fees based on revenue, with minimum annual guarantees. As of June 30, 2025, the cumulative minimum obligation committed in these agreements is approximately $37.6 million, extending through 2029.

*Other*

As of June 30, 2025, the net aggregate available amount of capacity under the Shared Cap (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) was approximately $43 million, including the impact of $83 million used to fund the investment in The Star Entertainment Group Limited. We reached a definitive agreement with GLPI on finalizing the Chicago Development Agreement in July 2025 and have invoiced GLPI for reimbursement for $53M funds advanced by Bally's for hard costs for the Chicago development project that Bally's expects to be repaid this amount in the third quarter of 2025 to increase the Shared Cap available. The Development Agreement contemplates that construction funding for the Chicago development project will be primarily funded by GLPI until the full $940 million commitment amount is utilized.

**ITEM 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from variable rate long-term debt arrangements and foreign currency risk attributable to our operations outside of the US. Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor. Bally's does not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations during the three months ended June 30, 2025 (Successor), the period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 (Predecessor) and the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor).

*Interest Rate Risk*

As of June 30, 2025 (Successor), interest on borrowings under our credit facility was subject to fluctuation based on changes in short-term interest rates. On June 30, 2025 (Successor), we had $2.13 billion of variable rate debt outstanding under our Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facilities and $1.99 billion of unsecured senior notes. Based upon a sensitivity analysis of our debt levels on June 30, 2025 (Successor), a hypothetical increase of 1% in the effective interest rate would cause an increase in interest expense of approximately $21.3 million over the next twelve months while a decrease of 1% in the effective interest rate, not to exceed the interest rate floor, would cause a decrease in interest expense of approximately $21.3 million over the same period.

We evaluate our exposure to market risk by monitoring interest rates in the marketplace and we have utilized derivative financial instruments to help manage this risk. As part of the Company's risk management and hedging program, the Company utilizes interest rate swaps and collars used to hedge and offset, respectively, the variable interest rates on the credit facility as described in Note 11, "[Derivative Instruments](#ieaa8654b88bf4432b75271561e4bd04d_67)" to our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We have not historically utilized derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. We do not believe that fluctuations in interest rates had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations during the three months ended June 30, 2025 (Successor), the period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 (Predecessor), and the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor).

------

*Foreign Currency Risk*

We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates as a result of our net investments and operations in countries other than the US. A vast majority of our revenues are from the UK market and are conducted in British Pound Sterling ("GBP") and are therefore susceptible to any movements in exchange rates between the GBP and US Dollar. Foreign currency transaction losses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 (Successor), the period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 (Predecessor) and the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Predecessor) were $6.5 million, $0.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Movements in currency exchange rates could impact the translation of assets and liabilities of these foreign operations which are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. We have utilized operational hedges or forward currency exchange rate contracts, as well as derivative financial instruments, such as cross currency swaps, to manage the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations on earnings and cash flows.

**ITEM 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES** 

***Management's Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer (principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (principal financial officer), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures for the reporting period ended June 30, 2025 as such terms is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

***Ongoing Remediation of Previously Identified Material Weakness***

We lack segregation of duties over the preparation, review, and recording of journal entries within our International Interactive reportable segment. The failure to maintain appropriate segregation of duties has a pervasive impact and consequently, this deficiency impacts control activities over all financial statement account balances, classes of transactions, and disclosures within the International Interactive reportable segment. This material weakness was originally identified as of December 31, 2023 and was not remediated as of December 31, 2024.

During 2024, Management developed and implemented incremental or enhanced controls to remediate the material weakness, including educating control owners within our International Interactive reportable segment of the appropriate design elements of journal entry controls, enhancing our policy around documented approvals of journal entries, and implementing a monitoring control over journal entries. However, controls over certain journal entries were not designed effectively and others were determined not to be operating effectively as of December 31, 2024. Management remains focused on designing and implementing effective measures to improve our internal controls over financial reporting and remediate the material weakness.

In order to remediate this material weakness, management has taken or plans to take the following actions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continuing to educate control owners within the International Interactive reportable segment of the appropriate design elements of journal entry controls and enforcing policies requiring independent preparers and reviewers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the first quarter, of 2025, implemented a new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system, which we believe will enhance the flow of financial information, improve data management and control and will enable us to remediate segregation of duties over journal entries by systematically requiring an independent preparer and reviewer of each journal entry. As a result of this implementation, the Company modified certain existing internal controls over financial reporting and implemented new controls and procedures related to the new ERP system.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Hired an international consulting firm to assist in the design and implementation of controls in connection with the newly implemented ERP system.

While we believe our remediation efforts above will improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we cannot assure that the measures will be sufficient to remediate the material weakness we have identified or will prevent potential future material weaknesses. The material weakness cannot be considered remediated until applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Accordingly, we will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

------

***Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

The Company completed the Merger with Queen on February 7, 2025. See Note 1 "General Information" and Note 7 "Business Combinations" included in Part I. Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the Merger and related financial data. The Company is currently in the process of integrating the Queen's internal controls over financial reporting.

As noted above, during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company completed implementation and began using a new ERP system, which replaced its pre-existing operational and financial system. As a result of this implementation, the Company continued to modified certain existing internal controls over financial reporting and implemented new controls and procedures related to the new ERP system in the second quarter of 2025.

There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OTHER INFORMATION**

**ITEM 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

We are party to various legal proceedings that have arisen in the normal course of our business. Such proceedings can be costly, time consuming and unpredictable and, therefore, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of such proceedings will not materially impact our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. While we maintain insurance coverage that we believe is adequate to mitigate the risks of such proceedings, no assurance can be given that the amount or scope of existing insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover losses arising from such matters. Estimated losses are accrued for these proceedings when the loss is probable and can be estimated. The current liability for the estimated losses associated with these proceedings is not material to our consolidated financial condition and those estimated losses are not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations.

**ITEM 1A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RISK FACTORS** 

There have been no material changes to our risk factors contained in Part I. Item IA. "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**ITEM 5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OTHER INFORMATION**

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, none of our officers or directors adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)This Agreement, the NDA, the Subordination Deed and the Deed Poll contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to their subject matter. They set out the only conduct, representations, warranties, covenants, conditions, agreements or understanding (collectively ***Conduct***) relied on by the parties and supersedes the Term Sheet and all earlier Conduct by or between the parties in connection with their subject matter. Neither party has relied on or is relying on any other Conduct in entering into this Agreement and completing the transactions contemplated by it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)When Convertible Notes are issued, the rights of a Noteholder under the Deed Poll are cumulative with its rights under this Agreement, and in particular are not affected by termination of this Agreement.

**17.2Severance**

Any provision of this Agreement or the Deed Poll which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will be ineffective in that jurisdiction to the extent of the prohibition or unenforceability.

**17.3Remedies and waiver**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement or the Deed Poll will operate as a waiver.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The parties each acknowledge and agree that damages may not be an adequate remedy for breach of this agreement and that the Subscriber or the Issuer (as applicable) may seek specific performance or injunctive relief in order to enforce their respective rights under this Agreement and the Deed Poll.

The rights and obligations of the parties will not merge on completion of any transaction under this Agreement or the Deed Poll. They will survive the execution and delivery of any other document entered into for the purpose of implementing any transaction.

**10Adjustments**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If and whenever there is a consolidation, reclassification or subdivision in relation to the Shares, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to such consolidation, reclassification or subdivision by the following fraction:

*<u>A</u>*

 *B*

where:

**A**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is the aggregate number of Shares on issue immediately before such consolidation, reclassification or subdivision, as the case may be; and

------

**B**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is the aggregate number of Shares on issue immediately after, and as a result of, such consolidation, reclassification or subdivision, as the case may be.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date the consolidation, reclassification or subdivision, as the case may be, takes effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If and whenever the Issuer issues any Shares credited as fully paid to the Shareholders as a class by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves (including any share premium account or capital redemption reserve) other than:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)where any such Shares are or are expressed to be issued in lieu of a Dividend (whether or not a cash Dividend or equivalent amount is announced or would otherwise be payable to Shareholders, whether at their election or otherwise),

the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to such issue by the following fraction:

 <u>A</u>

*B*

where:

A&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is the aggregate number of Shares on issue immediately before such issue; and

The Conversion Price as adjusted pursuant to this clause shall apply, with effect from and including the first date on which the Shares are traded ex-the relevant Dividend, to each Convertible Note for which the Conversion Date will not occur on or prior to the Dividend Record Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)If and whenever the Issuer shall issue, grant or offer Shares to all or substantially all of the Shareholders as a class by way of rights as a result of which, in each case, Shareholders have the right to acquire Shares at a price per Share which is less than 95 per cent of the Market Price per Share on the Trading Day immediately preceding the

------

date of the first public announcement of the terms of issue or grant, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to the first date on which the Shares are traded ex-rights by the following fraction:

![image_3.jpg](image_3.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Total Consideration is the amount equal to the price per share under the issue multiplied by the number of Shares to be issued.

The Conversion Price as adjusted pursuant to this clause shall apply, with effect from and including the first date on which the Shares are traded ex-rights on the ASX (or any applicable securities exchange on which the Shares are quoted or listed).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Other than with respect to any Employee Incentive Scheme Issue, if and whenever the Issuer shall issue, wholly for cash, any Shares at a price per Share which is less than 95 per cent of the Market Price per Share on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the first public announcement of the terms of issue (other than Shares issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to the date of issue of such Shares by the following fraction:

![image_3.jpg](image_3.jpg)

The Conversion Price as adjusted pursuant to this clause shall apply, with effect from and including the date of issue of such Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)The intent of this clause 10 is to maintain the relative benefit and burden to the Noteholder and the Issuer of their respective economic bargains.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)If:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)one or more events or circumstances affecting the Issuer or the capital structure of the Issuer not referred to in this clause 10 occurs; or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the Issuer determines that the application of any of the provisions in this clause 10 results in an adjustment to the Conversion Price that is not fair or reasonable to protect the interests of the Noteholders in the reasonable opinion of the Issuer or the Noteholders,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)the Issuer and the Noteholders shall consult in good faith to determine and agree as soon as practicable what adjustment (if any) to the Conversion Price, or to these Terms and Conditions, is fair and reasonable to protect the rights and interests of the Noteholders taking account of that event or circumstance and the intent and spirit of this clause 10.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)When the Issuer becomes aware of a fact that may give rise to an adjustment under this clause 10, the Issuer must promptly notify each Noteholder of the specifics of the fact that may give rise to such adjustment.
