Caesars Entertainment (CZR) 10-K 2021 FY Annual report

Exhibit 4.1

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

We have one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended: our common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. The following is a general description of the terms and provisions of our capital stock and related provisions of our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, each of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.1 is a part. The following description is only a summary of the material provisions of our capital stock, certificate of incorporation and bylaws and does not purport to be complete and is subject and qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DCGL, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws. We encourage you to read our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and the applicable provisions of the DGCL for additional information.

General

Our authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share.

Common Stock

Dividend rights

We will be permitted to pay dividends if, as and when declared by our board of directors, subject to compliance with limitations imposed by the DGCL. The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive and share equally in these dividends as they may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for such purpose. We do not currently expect to pay dividends on our common stock.

Voting rights

Our common stock votes as a single class on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote, and each share of our common stock is entitled to cast one vote in person or by proxy on such matters. Holders of our common stock do not have the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors. Directors are elected by a plurality of the shares actually voting on the matter at each annual meeting or special meeting called for the purpose of electing such directors at which a quorum is present.

Liquidation rights

Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive, after payment or provision for payment of all our debts and liabilities, all of our assets available for distribution.

Preemptive rights

Holders of our common stock are not entitled to any preemptive rights to subscribe for additional shares of our common stock, nor are they liable to further capital calls or to assessments by us. Therefore, if we issue additional shares without the opportunity for existing stockholders to purchase more shares, a stockholder’s ownership interest in our Company may be subject to dilution.

Other Rights or Preferences

Our common stock has no sinking fund, redemption provisions, or conversion or exchange rights, other than redemption provisions related to compliance with gaming laws.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 150,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which is outstanding. Our board of directors is authorized without further action by holders of our common stock, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation, to issue preferred stock and to determine the terms and conditions

4812-2185-9293

of the preferred stock, including whether the shares of preferred stock will be issued in one or more series, the number of shares to be included in each series and the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the shares. Our board of directors is authorized to designate any qualifications, limitations or restrictions on the shares without any further vote or action by our stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company that some stockholders believe to be in their best interests or in which holders of our common stock might receive a premium over the market price and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock, which could have an adverse impact on the market price of our common stock. We have no current plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Transfer agent and registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Limitation of liability and indemnification matters

We have entered into indemnification agreements with certain of our executive officers and each of our directors pursuant to which we have agreed to indemnify such executive officers and directors against liability incurred by them by reason of their services as an executive officer or director to the fullest extent allowable under applicable law. We also provide liability insurance for each officer and director for losses arising from claims or charges made against them while acting in their capacities as our officer or director.

To the extent that indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our executive officers and directors pursuant to the foregoing, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

National market listing

Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol “CZR.”
