Senior Unsecured Amended Credit Agreement

The Company has an Amended Credit Agreement providing for a revolving commitment capacity of $2.09 billion with a maturity date of December 2, 2028 (the "Revolver"). GLP Capital is the primary obligor under the Amended Credit Agreement, which is guaranteed by GLPI.

In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement provides GLP Capital with the right to elect to re-allocate up to $1.04 billion in existing revolving commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement to one or more new revolving credit facilities (“Amended Bridge Revolving Facility” and, collectively, the "Amended Bridge Revolving Facilities"). Loans under any Amended Bridge Revolving Facility are subject to 1% amortization per annum. Amounts repaid under any Amended Bridge Revolving Facility cannot be reborrowed and the corresponding commitments are automatically re-allocated to the existing revolving facility.

Amended Bridge Revolving Facilities are intended to be used solely to fund cash distributions to third-party contributors in connection with their contribution of one or more properties to GLP Capital. GLP Capital’s ability to borrow under any Amended Bridge Revolving Facility is subject to certain conditions including pro forma compliance with GLP
Capital’s financial covenants, as well as the receipt by the Agent of a satisfactory conditional guarantee of the loans under the applicable Amended Bridge Revolving Facility by the applicable contributor or its affiliate, subject to the prior enforcement of all remedies against GLP Capital, GLPI and other applicable sources other than such guarantor. Loans under the Amended Bridge Revolving Facility will not be treated pro rata with loans under the existing revolving credit facility.

At December 31, 2025, $331.6 million was outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement. Additionally, at December 31, 2025, the Company was contingently obligated under letters of credit issued pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement with face amounts aggregating approximately $0.4 million, resulting in $1,758.0 million of available borrowing capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2025.

The interest rates payable on the loans borrowed under the Amended Credit Agreement are, at GLP Capital's option, equal to either a SOFR based rate or a base rate plus an applicable margin, which ranges from 0.725% to 1.40% per annum for SOFR loans and 0.0% to 0.4% per annum for base rate loans, in each case, depending on the credit ratings assigned to the Amended Credit Agreement. The current applicable margin is 1.05% for SOFR loans and 0.05% for base rate loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the base rate be less than 1.00%. In addition, GLP Capital will pay a facility fee on the commitments under the revolving facility, regardless of usage, at a rate that ranges from 0.125% to 0.3% per annum, depending on the credit rating assigned to the Amended Credit Agreement from time to time. The current facility fee rate is 0.25%. The Amended Credit Agreement is not subject to amortization except with respect to the Amended Bridge Revolving Facility. GLP Capital is not required to repay any loans under the Amended Credit Agreement prior to maturity except as set forth above with respect to the Amended Bridge Revolving Facility. GLP Capital may prepay all or any portion of the loans under the Amended Credit Agreement prior to maturity without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of any SOFR breakage costs of the lenders and may reborrow loans that it has repaid. Subject to customary conditions, including pro forma compliance with financial covenants, GLP Capital can obtain additional term loan commitments and incur incremental term loans or revolving commitments, and outstanding bridge revolving loans shall not exceed $3.5 billion outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement. There is currently no commitment in respect of such incremental loans and commitments. The weighted average interest rate under the Amended Credit Agreement at December 31, 2025 was 5.02%.

Certain Covenants and Events of Default

The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of GLPI and its subsidiaries to grant liens on their assets, incur indebtedness, sell assets, make investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations or pay certain dividends and make other restricted payments. The Amended Credit Agreement includes the following financial covenants, which are measured quarterly on a trailing four-quarter basis: a maximum total debt to total asset value ratio, a maximum senior secured debt to total asset value ratio, a maximum ratio of certain recourse debt to unencumbered asset value and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. GLPI is permitted to pay dividends to its shareholders as may be required in order to maintain REIT status, subject to the absence of payment or bankruptcy defaults. GLPI is also permitted to make other dividends and distributions subject to pro forma compliance with the financial covenants and the absence of defaults. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including the occurrence of a change of control and termination of the Amended PENN Master Lease (subject to certain replacement rights). The occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the Amended Credit Agreement will enable the lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement to accelerate the loans and terminate the commitments thereunder. At December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement.

Term Loan Credit Agreement

On September 2, 2022, GLP Capital entered into the Term Loan Credit Agreement with the Term Loan Agent, and the other agents and lenders party thereto from time to time, providing for a $600 million delayed draw credit facility with a maturity date of September 2, 2027 (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”). The Term Loan Credit Facility is guaranteed by GLPI. The Company drew down the entire $600 million Term Loan Credit Facility on January 3, 2023 in connection with the acquisition of the real property assets of Bally's Biloxi and Bally's Tiverton.

Interest Rate and Fees

The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the Term Loan Credit Facility are, at GLP Capital's option, equal to either a SOFR based rate or a base rate plus an applicable margin, which ranges from 0.85% to 1.7% per annum for SOFR loans and 0.0% to 0.7% per annum for base rate loans, in each case, depending on the credit ratings assigned to the Term Loan Credit Facility. The current applicable margin is 1.30% for SOFR loans and 0.30% for base rate loans. In addition, GLP Capital will pay a commitment fee on the unused commitments under the Term Loan Credit Facility at a rate that ranges from
0.125% to 0.3% per annum, depending on the credit ratings assigned to the Credit Agreement from time to time. The current commitment fee rate is 0.25%. The weighted average interest rate under the Term Loan Credit Facility at December 31, 2025 was 5.02%.

Amortization and Prepayments

The Term Loan Credit Facility is not subject to interim amortization. GLP Capital is not required to repay any loans under the Term Loan Credit Facility prior to maturity. GLP Capital may prepay all or any portion of the loans under the Term Loan Credit Facility prior to maturity without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of any SOFR breakage costs of the lenders, and may reborrow loans that it has repaid.

Certain Covenants and Events of Default

The Term Loan Credit Facility contains customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of GLPI and its subsidiaries, including GLP Capital, to grant liens on their assets, incur indebtedness, sell assets, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, or pay certain dividends and make other restricted payments. The financial covenants include the following, which are measured quarterly on a trailing four-quarter basis: (i) maximum total debt to total asset value ratio, (ii) maximum senior secured debt to total asset value ratio, (iii) maximum ratio of certain recourse debt to unencumbered asset value, and (iv) minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. GLPI is required to maintain its status as a REIT and is permitted to pay dividends to its shareholders as may be required in order to maintain REIT status. GLPI is also permitted to make other dividends and distributions, subject to pro forma compliance with the financial covenants and the absence of defaults. The Term Loan Credit Facility also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. The occurrence and continuance of an event of default, which includes, among others, nonpayment of principal or interest, material inaccuracy of representations and failure to comply with covenants, will enable the lenders to accelerate the loans and terminate the commitments thereunder. At December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants under the Term Loan Credit Facility.

Senior Unsecured Notes

    At December 31, 2025, the Company had $6,350.0 million of outstanding Senior Notes. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company redeemed its $850 million, 5.250% senior unsecured notes due June 2025, and its $975 million, 5.375% senior unsecured notes due April 2026.

In August 2025, the Company issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of the February 2033 Notes at a price of 99.642% of the principal amount, and issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of the November 2037 Notes at a price of 99.187% of the principal amount. In connection with the issuances, the Company terminated certain forward starting interest rate swap agreements and will recognize a benefit of approximately $1 million, amortized over ten years as a reduction of interest expense, with respect to the November 2037 Notes. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to redeem in full its outstanding $975 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes due April 2026 (the “April 2026 Notes”), including payment of the related make-whole premium. The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, repayment of indebtedness, capital expenditures, and development or expansion projects at existing or new properties. The redemption of the April 2026 Notes resulted in the recognition of a debt extinguishment charge of $3.8 million, which consisted of the make-whole premium and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts.

In August 2024, the Company issued $800 million of 5.625% Senior Notes that will mature on September 15, 2034 at an issue price equal to 99.094% of the principal amount and $400 million of 6.250% Senior Notes that will mature on September 15, 2054 at an issue price equal to 99.183% of the principal amount.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company redeemed its $400 million, 3.350% senior unsecured notes due September 2024.
The Company may redeem the Senior Notes of any series at any time, and from time to time, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed, plus a "make-whole" redemption premium described in the indenture governing the Senior Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, except that if Senior Notes of a series are redeemed after their respective par call date (90-180 days prior to their maturity), the redemption price will be 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. If GLPI experiences a change of control accompanied by a decline in the credit rating of the Senior Notes of a particular series, the Company will be required to give holders of the Senior Notes of such series the opportunity to sell their Senior Notes of such series at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes of such series, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the repurchase date. The Senior Notes also are subject to mandatory redemption requirements imposed by gaming laws and regulations. 
The Senior Notes were issued by the Issuers, two consolidated subsidiaries of GLPI, and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by GLPI. The guarantees of GLPI are full and unconditional. The Senior Notes are the Issuers' senior unsecured obligations and rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Issuers' senior indebtedness, including the Amended Credit Agreement, and senior in right of payment to all of the Issuers' subordinated indebtedness, without giving effect to collateral arrangements.
The Senior Notes contain covenants limiting the Company’s ability to: incur additional debt and use its assets to secure debt; merge or consolidate with another company; and make certain amendments to the Amended PENN Master Lease. The Senior Notes also require the Company to maintain a specified ratio of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt. These covenants are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions.
 
At December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants under its Senior Notes.
