ARLINGTON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 the results of its previously announced tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of the outstanding 4.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”), which expired as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 2, 2023 (the “Expiration Time”). The Tender Offer was made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, dated April 26, 2023 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related notice of guaranteed delivery for the Tender Offer (together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer Documents”), which set forth the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.

As of the Expiration Time, according to information provided by DF King & Co., Inc., the information agent and the tender agent for the Tender Offer, a total of $881,598,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes, or 92.85% of the aggregate principle amount outstanding, had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offer. These amounts exclude $18,828,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer Documents. The obligation of the Company to accept the 2024 Notes tendered and to pay the consideration for the 2024 Notes is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, which are more fully described in the Offer Documents.

In accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer, the Company will pay the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the 2024 Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase on May 3, 2023 (the “Settlement Date”) or, in the case of holders whose 2024 Notes were validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures, on May 5, 2023 (the “Guaranteed Delivery Settlement Date”). The Purchase Price to be paid for the 2024 Notes is $1,000.50 for each $1,000 principal amount of the 2024 Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 2024 Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Settlement Date. For avoidance of doubt, interest on the 2024 Notes will cease to accrue on the Settlement Date for all Notes accepted in the Tender Offer. All Notes purchased on the Settlement Date will subsequently be retired.

The Company intends to use the net cash proceeds from its previously announced senior notes offering, together with other available cash, including borrowings under its revolving credit facility, to pay the Purchase Price, plus accrued interest to, but excluding, the Settlement Date, for all 2024 Notes that the Company purchases pursuant to the Tender Offer.
