Six Flags Announces Pricing of $800 Million of 7.250% Senior Notes due 2031

Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: SIX) (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), the world’s largest regional theme park company and the largest operator of water parks in North America, today announced that it has priced $800 million aggregate principal amount of 7.250% senior notes due 2031 at an offering price of 99.248% of the principal amount thereof. The Company anticipates that the closing of the offering will take place on May 3, 2023, subject to customary closing conditions. The net proceeds from this offering, together with other available cash, including borrowings under its revolving credit facility, will be used to repurchase any and all of its outstanding $949.5 million principal amount of 4.875% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) pursuant to a tender offer separately announced today and pay related fees and expenses. To the extent less than $800 million of 2024 Notes are purchased in the tender offer, the Company will redeem an amount of 2024 Notes such that $800 million are being retired. This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption of the 2024 Notes.

The Notes

The notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of our current and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, that guarantee our senior secured credit agreement and Six Flags Theme Parks Inc., the borrower under our senior secured credit agreement.

The newly issued senior notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and have not been offered and will not be sold in the U.S. or to U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The notes have been offered and will be sold only to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security. No offer, solicitation, or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful. Any offers of the notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.
