PROVIDENCE, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 11, 2026-- Bally’s Corporation (NYSE: BALY) (“Bally’s” or the “Company”) announced today that it entered into a new term loan credit facility due 2031, providing it with $1.1 billion of funded term loans (the “Term Loans”). The Term Loans are provided by Ares Management Credit funds, as well as King Street Capital Management and TPG Credit. Separately, the Company completed its previously announced sale and leaseback of the real estate assets of its Twin River Lincoln Casino Resort (the “Lincoln Sale Leaseback”), pursuant to an agreement with GLP Capital, L.P. (“GLP”), a subsidiary of Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (NASDAQ: GLPI). The Lincoln Sale Leaseback provided the Company with total consideration of $700 million, before transaction expenses and provisions for taxes. Initial cash rent for the Twin River Lincoln property is $56 million per annum, with customary annual escalators.

The proceeds from the Term Loans will be used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the development of Bally’s Bronx and Bally’s Chicago. The Company will also allocate cash on hand from the proceeds of the Intralot transaction (completed in October 2025) and the Lincoln Sale Leaseback, along with portions of the proceeds from the Term Loan issuance to repay in full the Company’s outstanding $1.47 billion in term loans maturing in 2028.

The Term Loans are secured by substantially all material assets of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the equity of Bally’s Intralot S.A. held by the Company, but in any event subject to customary exceptions and exclusions, such as the assets held by Bally’s Intralot S.A., and certain development assets, non-subsidiaries, and designated unrestricted subsidiaries.

Citizens Capital Markets served as financial advisor to Bally’s Corporation. Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP and Latham & Watkins LLP served as legal advisors to Bally’s Corporation.
