| **Item 1.01.** | **Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**  |

---

On July 10, 2025, Boyd Interactive Gaming Holdings, L.L.C. ("Boyd Interactive"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boyd Gaming Corporation ("Boyd Gaming"), entered into a definitive agreement ("Purchase Agreement") with TSE Holdings Ltd. ("Parent") and FanDuel Group Parent, LLC ("FanDuel"), pursuant to which Parent will purchase Boyd Interactive's 5% equity interest (the "Equity Interest") in FanDuel, and Boyd Gaming and FanDuel, or their respective affiliated entities, will enter into certain Commercial Arrangements (as defined below), in exchange for which Boyd Interactive will be paid aggregate cash consideration of $1.755 billion, subject to the adjustment described below, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, which was unanimously approved by the board of directors of Boyd Gaming. Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement.

If the transaction does not close by July 18, 2025 (the "Closing"), Boyd Gaming will be entitled to additional consideration as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

The Closing is subject to customary conditions and the receipt of all required regulatory approvals. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of conditions in the Purchase Agreement, Boyd Gaming expects the Closing to occur in the third quarter of 2025. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Boyd Gaming and FanDuel or their respective affiliated entities will terminate certain of their existing agreements related to their strategic partnership and enter into certain new agreements (collectively, the "Commercial Arrangements"), pursuant to which Boyd Gaming or its subsidiaries ("Boyd Entities") will, among other things, (i) provide FanDuel or its subsidiary with certain market access rights to operate online sports wagering or other online gaming services similar to the existing arrangements with Boyd Entities, but for a longer term and with fixed fee arrangements, and (ii) transition any branding and operational support provided by FanDuel at the existing FanDuel branded sportsbooks at Boyd Gaming properties to be branded and operated entirely by Boyd Entities, but utilizing certain sports betting data feeds provided by FanDuel or its affiliate.

The Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights by either Boyd Interactive or Parent, including if the Closing has not occurred by December 19, 2025. The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, and is incorporated by reference herein.

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only as of specified dates for the purposes of the Purchase Agreement, were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by the parties. In particular, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were negotiated with the principal purpose of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts, and may have been qualified by confidential disclosures. Such representations, warranties and covenants may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders and to reports and documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, investors should not rely on such representations, warranties and covenants as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances described therein. Information concerning the subject matter of such representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the parties' public disclosures.

**BOYD GAMING TO SELL FANDUEL INTEREST FOR $1.755 BILLION** 

***All-Cash Transaction Unlocks Significant, Unrealized Value for Boyd Shareholders***

***Boyd, FanDuel Extend Market-Access Agreements through 2038***

**LAS VEGAS – JULY 10, 2025 –** Boyd Gaming Corporation **(NYSE: BYD)** ("the Company" or "Boyd") today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Company's 5% equity interest in FanDuel Group ("FanDuel") to Flutter Entertainment plc **(NYSE: FLUT)** ("Flutter") for cash consideration of $1.755 billion.

The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals. The Company intends to use net proceeds to reduce debt.

Keith Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boyd, said: "This transaction unlocks the tremendous unrealized value that our investment in FanDuel has created for our Company. As a result, we are in a significantly stronger financial position to continue executing our strategy of investing in our properties, pursuing growth opportunities, returning capital to our shareholders, and maintaining a strong balance sheet."

In addition to purchasing Boyd's equity interest in FanDuel, Boyd and FanDuel will terminate certain existing market-access agreements between the parties and enter into new agreements to provide, among other things, for an extended term through 2038. The agreements will also provide Boyd with a fixed fee per state from FanDuel's mobile sports-betting operations in Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana and Pennsylvania, as well as FanDuel's online casino operations in Pennsylvania, upon the close of this transaction. FanDuel will also continue to operate Boyd's retail sportsbooks outside of Nevada through mid-2026, after which time Boyd will assume responsibility for these operations.

Under terms of the revised market-access agreements with FanDuel, the Company now expects its Online segment will generate $50 million to $55 million in operating income and Adjusted EBITDAR for the full year 2025, and approximately $30 million in 2026.

------

Smith added: "The partnership between Boyd and FanDuel has been a remarkable success for both companies. FanDuel has emerged as the nation's clear leader in online sports-betting, while Boyd has been able to leverage this partnership to profitably participate in the rapid growth of sports betting across the country. It has been a privilege to work with the Flutter and FanDuel teams, and we look forward to supporting FanDuel's continued growth and success through our market-access agreements across the country."

Moelis & Company LLC served as exclusive financial advisor to Boyd Gaming on the transaction. Morrison & Foerster LLP served as legal advisor to Boyd Gaming on the transaction, with Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP advising on the commercial agreements.

**<u>Non-GAAP Financial Measures</u>**

Our financial presentations include the following non-GAAP financial measures:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***EBITDA*** : earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Adjusted EBITDA*** : EBITDA adjusted for deferred rent, share-based compensation expense, project
development, preopening and writedown expenses, impairments of assets, other operating items, net, gain or loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest and other items, net, as
applicable,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***EBITDAR*** : EBITDA further adjusted for rent expense associated with master leases with a real estate
investment trust,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***Adjusted EBITDAR*** : Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted for rent expense associated with master leases
with a real estate investment trust,

Collectively, we refer to these and other non-GAAP financial measures as the "Non-GAAP Measures."

The Non-GAAP Measures are commonly used measures of performance in our industry that we believe, when considered with measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), provide our investors with a more complete understanding of our operating results and facilitates comparisons between us and our competitors. We provide this information to investors to enable them to perform comparisons of our past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate the results of core on-going operations. We have historically reported these measures to our investors and believe that the continued inclusion of the Non-GAAP Measures provides consistency in our financial reporting. We also believe this information is useful to investors in allowing greater transparency related to significant measures used by our management in their financial and operational decision-making, their evaluation of total company and individual property performance, in the evaluation of incentive compensation and in the annual budget process. Management also uses Non-GAAP Measures in the evaluation of potential acquisitions and dispositions. We believe these measures continue to be used by investors in their assessment of our operating performance and the valuation of our company.

The use of Non-GAAP Measures has certain limitations. Our presentation of the Non-GAAP Measures may be different from the presentation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. While excluded from certain of the Non-GAAP Measures, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, income taxes and other items have been and will be incurred. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. Additionally, the Non-GAAP Measures do not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our depreciation and amortization, interest and income taxes, capital expenditures and other items both in our reconciliations to the historical GAAP financial measures and in our consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP Measures to the corresponding forward-looking GAAP measure due to our inability to project special charges and certain expenses.

The Non-GAAP Measures are to be used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. The Non-GAAP Measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP, nor should these measures be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. The Non-GAAP Measures reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our

------

GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding historical GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.
