Derivative Instruments

The fair values of interest rate contracts and cross currency swap assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair

value hierarchy as the valuation inputs are based on estimates using currency spot and forward rates and standard pricing

models that consider the value of future cash flows as of the balance sheet date, discounted to a present value using discount

factors that match both the time to maturity and currency of the underlying instruments. These standard pricing models utilize

inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data such as interest rate yield curves as well as currency spot

and forward rates. When designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair value of these contracts are reported as a

component of other comprehensive income (loss). When not designated as hedging instruments, changes in fair value of these

contracts are reported within Other non-operating income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Sinclair Performance Warrants

Sinclair Performance Warrants were accounted for as a derivative instrument classified as a liability within Level 3 of the

hierarchy through February 7, 2025 (Predecessor) as the warrants are not traded in active markets and are subject to certain

assumptions and estimates made by management related to the probability of meeting performance milestones. These

assumptions and the probability of meeting performance targets may have a significant impact on the value of the warrant. The

Performance Warrants were valued using an option pricing model, considering the Company’s estimated probabilities of

achieving the performance milestones for each tranche. Inputs to this valuation approach include volatility between 40% and

67%, risk free rates between 3.84% and 4.79%, the Company’s common stock price for each period and expected terms

between 1.5 and 6.3 years. In connection with the Queen Merger, as of February 7, 2025, all outstanding Performance Warrants

became immediately exercisable at a price of$0.01 per share and were reclassified out of liabilities and into equity and are no

longer measured at fair value. The fair value is recorded within “Other long-term liabilities” of the consolidated balance sheets

as of December 31, 2024 (Predecessor).

Contingent consideration

In connection with the acquisition of Bally’s Golf Links on September 12, 2023 (Predecessor), the purchase price included

future cash payments totaling up to$125 million to the seller, based upon future events, which were uncertain at the time of

acquisition. The Company recorded contingent consideration at fair value as a liability on the acquisition date, which was

subsequently remeasured at each reporting date within “Other, non-operating expenses, net” in the consolidated statements of

operations. The contingent consideration was valued at$59.9 million as of December 31, 2024 (Predecessor) and$123.9

million as of December 31, 2025 (Successor). As of December 31, 2024 (Predecessor), Level 3 inputs to this valuation

approach included the Company’s estimated probabilities of achieving the conditions for payment, expected terms between 1.5

and 3 years, and discount rates between 7.2% and 7.8%. As of December 31, 2025 (Successor), the contingency related to

$115 million of the$125 million total payments was resolved and is payable in 2026. As such, that contingency was marked to

its fair value of$115 million and is classified as a current liability.

Fair Value Option Equity Method Investments

The Company has long-term investments in unconsolidated entities which it accounts for under the equity method of

accounting. The Company has elected the fair value option allowed by ASC 825, with respect to these investments. Under the

fair value option, the investments are remeasured at fair value at each reporting period through earnings. The Company

measures fair value using quoted prices in active markets that are classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy, with changes to fair

value included within Other non-operating (expense) income, net of the consolidated statements of operations.

Investment in GLPI Partnership

The Company holds a limited partnership interest in GLP Capital, L.P. (“GLP”), the operating partnership of GLPI. The

investment is reported at fair value based on Level 2 inputs, with changes to fair value included within “Other non-operating

income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of operations.

Long-term debt

The fair value of the Company’s Term Loan Facility and senior notes are estimated based on quoted prices in active markets

and are classified as Level 1 measurements. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility approximates its carrying amount as

it is revolving, variable rate debt, and is also classified as a Level 1 measurement. In the table below, the carrying amounts of

the Company’s long-term debt is net of debt issuance costs, debt discounts and fair value adjustments. Refer to Note 14 “Long-

Term Debt” for further information.
