RICHMOND, Va., September 17, 2025–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Lucky Strike Entertainment (NYSE: LUCK) (“Lucky Strike Entertainment,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”), one of the world’s premier owner/operators of location-based entertainment, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kingpin Intermediate Holdings LLC (the “Issuer”), has priced an offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 7.250% senior secured notes due 2032 (the “Notes”) in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes will be sold to investors at a price of 100% of the principal amount thereof and will bear an interest rate of 7.250% per annum.
The Company has also announced today that it has allocated a $1,200 million tranche of term loans (the “New Term Loan Facility”) maturing in 2032, which is expected to accrue interest at a rate of Term SOFR +3.25% per annum, stepping down to Term SOFR +3.00% per annum on terms to be set forth in final documentation. The allocated size of the New Term Loan Facility was increased from the previously announced $1,000 million.
The net proceeds of the offering of the Notes, the New Term Loan Facility, and a refinanced revolving credit facility that is expected to initially include commitments of approximately $425 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the New Term Loan Facility, the “New Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) are expected to be used to refinance in full the Issuer’s existing term loan facilities and revolving credit facility, and to pay related fees and expenses. Any remaining net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.
The closing of the Notes offering is expected to occur on September 22, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Notes will be, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and each of the Company’s subsidiaries (other than the Issuer) that is a borrower or a guarantor under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The Notes and the related guarantees will be secured on a first-priority basis (subject to customary exceptions) by liens on the same assets that secure the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
The foregoing transactions are subject to market and other conditions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the transactions, including the Notes and/or the New Term Loan Facility, on the terms described above, or at all.
