Current report
On October 8, 2025, Intralot completed the acquisition of Bally’s International Interactive and combined it with Intralot’s global lottery and gaming operations. The transaction values Bally’s International Interactive at an enterprise value of €2.7 billion and unlocks significant liquidity for Bally’s while positioning Bally’s International Interactive for continued and accelerated global growth. Post-close, the Company’s updated equity interest in Intralot when combined with the Company’s prior ownership of 207.5 million shares, is 58%. The Company will account for the Intralot Transaction as a business combination whereby it acquired a controlling financial interest in Intralot in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Current report
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a series of foreign exchange forward contracts (the “Deal Contingent FX Forwards”) to hedge the EUR cash proceeds received in connection with the Transaction Agreement. The Company agreed to sell total notional amounts of €1.00 billion and buy USD at fixed exchange rates between 1.16489 and 1.1839. The Deal Contingent FX Forwards do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and are therefore carried at fair value with gains or losses recorded to Other non-operating (expense) income, net. The Deal Contingent FX Forwards settled upon completion of the transaction in October 2025.
Current report
Income from operations for the Successor three months ended September 30, 2025 was $1.0 million compared to a loss from operations of $157.7 million in the Predecessor prior year period. The change year-over-year was driven by the loss on sale-leaseback of $150.0 million recorded in the Predecessor second quarter of 2024 related to the lease modification event involving the real estate underlying the Bally’s Chicago project. The loss from operations for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 of $20.8 million and the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to September 30, 2025 of $3.3 million compared to the Predecessor nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $226.0 million decreased $202.0 million. This decrease is due to the loss on sale-leaseback of $150.0 million coupled with the accelerated depreciation related to Tropicana Las Vegas, as noted above recorded in 2024.
Current report
In October 2025, the Company paid down the $500 million outstanding on its 2028 Notes as further described below.
Current report
In September 2025, the Company executed a Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 3”) and an Incremental Joinder Agreement that collectively extended and increased the revolving credit facility and updated certain covenants and pricing provisions. Following the effectiveness of these amendments, which is subject to regulatory approval, a portion of the revolving credit facility will mature in 2028, while the remaining portion will mature in 2026. The amendments also provide for reductions in revolving commitments and related prepayments if specified transactions are completed. The revolving credit facility will continue to bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a SOFR-based or base-rate benchmark plus an applicable margin determined by the Company’s consolidated total-leverage ratio. The Credit Facilities continue to be guaranteed by the Company’s restricted subsidiaries (subject to customary exceptions) and secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and such guarantors. Amendment No. 3 also refined the financial maintenance covenant applicable to the revolving lenders and reduced the utilization threshold at which the covenant becomes effective to 25%.
Current report
With proceeds from the Transaction Agreement, the Company paid down $500.0 million of its secured indebtedness, applied pro rata across its 2028 Notes and Term Loan Facility. Subsequently, the Company satisfied the remaining principal balance of its 2028 Notes with an additional payment of $395.0 million, and incurred and paid a make-whole payment pursuant to the note agreement. Additionally, the Company repaid all outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of these debt payments and the associated unamortized original issue discounts, deferred financing fees, and fair value adjustments on the 2028 Notes and Term Loan Facility to its consolidated financial statements in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Current report
On April 7, 2025, the Company entered into a Binding Term Sheet with The Star Entertainment Group Limited (“The Star”), an ASX-listed company, to invest up to A$300.0 million in a multi-tranche issuance of convertible notes and subordinated debt (the “Investment”). On April 8, 2025, The Star announced a commitment from its largest shareholder, Investment Holdings Pty, to subscribe for A$100.0 million of the Investment, reducing the Company’s commitment to A$200.0 million. On April 9, 2025, the Company funded A$66.7 million, consisting of Tranche 1A convertible notes of A$22.2 million (the “Convertible Notes”) and subordinated debt with a principal amount of A$44.4 million. Additionally, on May 23, 2025, the Company and The Star entered into a Subscription Agreement and a Subordination Deed Poll in favor of certain of The Star’s senior lenders.
Current report
Following shareholder approval obtained on June 25, 2025, the Company funded an additional principal amount of A$66.7 million in subordinated debt on June 27, 2025 (together with the A$44.4 million, the “Subordinated Notes”). As of September 30, 2025, the outstanding principal balance on the Subordinated Notes and Convertible Notes were A$111.1 million and A$22.2 million, respectively.
Current report
The remainder of the Company’s A$66.7 million commitment (the “Forward Obligation”) was funded on October 9, 2025 in the form of subordinated debt. Upon regulatory approval of the Investment, the Subordinated Notes will settle into the Convertible Notes on a cashless basis. Both the Convertible Notes and Subordinated Notes mature on July 2, 2029, and bear interest at an annual rate of 9%, paid in-kind and compounded quarterly. The Star may elect to settle accrued interest in cash or by issuing its ordinary shares. The Company can convert the principal amount of the Convertible Notes into ordinary shares of The Star at any time once regulatory approval has been received at a conversion price of A$0.08 per share. The Company accounts for the instruments funded to date, along with the embedded derivatives associated with their conversion and redemption features, by utilizing the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, as the Company believes this best depicts the economics of the investment.
