Caesars Entertainment, Inc. Announces Pricing of Offering of Senior Notes

LAS VEGAS and RENO, Nev. (October 2, 2024) – Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: CZR) (the “Company”) today announced the pricing of its previously announced offering of Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”) at an interest rate of 6.000% per annum and an issue price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes. The offering is expected to close on or about October 17, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions. The Notes were offered in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to persons outside the United States under Regulation S of the Securities Act. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be issued in the offering was increased to $1,100.0 million from the previously announced $1,000.0 million.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the offering of the Notes (a) to tender, redeem, or repurchase (the “2027 Notes Redemption”) a portion of the Company’s existing 8.125% Senior Notes due 2027, together with all accrued interest, fees and premiums thereon and (b) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the offering of the Notes and the 2027 Notes Redemption.

The Notes were offered to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act and to persons outside the United States under Regulation S of the Securities Act. The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act, and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
