Words such as "anticipate," "believe," "create," "expect," "future," "guidance," "intend," "plan," "potential," "seek," "synergies," "target," "objective," "will," "would," similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. These forward-looking statements, including statements we make regarding the terms of the Offering, the use of proceeds therefrom and the satisfaction of any conditions relating to the Redemptions, may involve current plans, estimates, expectations and ambitions that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, may be beyond our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct or that our growth and operational strategies will achieve the target results. Important risks and uncertainties that may cause such a difference and could adversely affect attendance at our parks, future financial performance and/or our growth strategies, and could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations or otherwise to fluctuate or decrease, include, but are not limited to: failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Mergers, including difficulty in integrating the businesses of Former Six Flags and Cedar Fair; failure to realize the expected amount and timing of cost savings and operating synergies related to the Mergers; general economic, political and market conditions; the impacts of pandemics or other public health crises, including the effects of government responses on people and economies; adverse weather conditions; competition for consumer leisure time and spending or other changes in consumer behavior or sentiment for discretionary spending; unanticipated construction delays or increases in construction or supply costs; changes in capital investment plans and projects; anticipated tax treatment, unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, future prospects, business and management strategies for the management, expansion and growth of the our operations; legislative, regulatory and economic developments and changes in laws, regulations, and policies affecting us; acts of terrorism or outbreak of war, hostilities, civil unrest, and other political or security disturbances; and other factors or uncertainties described in Item 1A. of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 3, 2025 and the other filings made from time to time with the SEC.

## Exhibit 99.2

**Exhibit 99.2** 

**Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information** 

**Introduction** 

On July 1, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (the "Company" or "Six Flags") completed the previously announced merger of equals transaction contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 2, 2023 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company (then, CopperSteel HoldCo, Inc.), Cedar Fair L.P. ("Cedar Fair"), Six Flags Entertainment Corporation ("Former Six Flags"), and CopperSteel Merger Sub, LLC ("Copper Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Copper Merger Sub merged with and into Cedar Fair (the "Cedar Fair First Merger"), with Cedar Fair continuing as the surviving entity (the "Cedar Fair Surviving Entity") and a direct subsidiary of the Company, (ii) the Cedar Fair Surviving Entity subsequently merged with and into the Company (together with the Cedar Fair First Merger, the "Cedar Fair Mergers"), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation, and (iii) Former Six Flags merged with and into the Company (the "Six Flags Merger" and, together with the Cedar Fair Mergers, the "Mergers"), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation. Upon the consummation of the Mergers, the separate legal existences of each of Copper Merger Sub, Cedar Fair and Former Six Flags ceased, and the Company changed its name to "Six Flags Entertainment Corporation". The Company's common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "FUN". For further details of the Mergers, refer to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4/A initially filed on December 22, 2023 and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 31, 2024, as well as the Current Report on Form 8-K filed July 1, 2024 and related amendment filed September 16, 2024.

On May 1, 2024, Cedar Fair entered into that certain Credit Agreement, by and among, *inter alios*, Cedar Fair, the other borrowers party thereto, the guarantors party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the "Credit Agreement"), providing for (A) a term loan facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of $1,000 million (the "Term Loan B Facility"); and (B) a $300 million revolving loan facility (the "Cedar Fair Revolving Facility").

On the Closing Date, upon the consummation of the Mergers, the Company entered into that certain First Amendment and Incremental Assumption Agreement and, among other things, assumed all obligations of Cedar Fair under the Credit Agreement, including, but not limited to, obligations in respect of the Term Loan B Facility, and the Cedar Fair Revolving Facility was replaced in full by a new revolving facility with aggregate commitments of up to $850 million (the "Revolving Facility").

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been adjusted to reflect (i) the completion of the Mergers and the related conversion of (x) the limited partnership interests in Cedar Fair into the right to receive the common stock of Six Flags (and associated income tax effects) and (y) the shares of common stock of Former Six Flags into the right to receive the common stock of Six Flags, (ii) borrowings under the Term Loan B Facility and the Revolving Facility and the application of the proceeds thereof in connection with the Mergers, and (iii) the repayment of $165 million aggregate principal amount of 7.000% senior secured notes due 2025, issued in April 2020 by Former Six Flags' subsidiary Six Flags Theme Parks Inc. (the "Former Six Flags 2025 Senior Notes") immediately prior to the Mergers (collectively, the "Transactions").

The Mergers were accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, with Cedar Fair as the accounting acquirer. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to reflect transaction accounting adjustments to Six Flags' Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the year ended December 31, 2024, as if the Transactions occurred on January 1, 2024.

Assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what Six Flags' results of operations would have been had the Transactions occurred on the date indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of Six Flags. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 was prepared based on (i) the Six Flags Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the year ended December 31, 2024 (refer to the Company's Form 10-K as filed on March 3, 2025) which reflects Cedar Fair's pre-Mergers results for periods prior to the Closing Date and Six Flags' post-Mergers results from July 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, and (ii) the historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations of Former Six Flags for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Tax-related adjustments as reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are based upon an estimated blended statutory tax rate of 25.3%. The estimated blended statutory tax rate used will likely vary from the actual effective tax rates in periods as of and subsequent to the completion of the Transactions.
