On February 10, 2023, Cedar Fair, L.P. (“Cedar Fair”) entered into Amendment No. 6 (“Amendment No. 6”) to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 13, 2017, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of March 14, 2018, Amendment No. 2, dated as of April 27, 2020, Amendment No. 3, dated as of September 28, 2020, Amendment No. 4, dated as of December 15, 2021 and Amendment No. 5, dated as of February 7, 2022 (the “Credit Agreement”, and as further amended by Amendment No. 6, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), among Cedar Fair, Canada’s Wonderland Company (“Cedar Canada”), Magnum Management Corporation (“Magnum”) and Millennium Operations LLC (“Millennium”), as borrowers, the several lenders from time to time party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other parties thereto. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Amended Credit Agreement.

Amendment No. 6 amended the Credit Agreement, to, among other things, (i) extend the Revolving Termination Date of the $300.0 million Revolving Credit Facilities to February 10, 2028 (five years from the effective date of Amendment No. 6 (the “Amendment No. 6 Effective Date”), provided that the maturity date will be (x) January 30, 2025 if at least $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Cedar Fair’s senior secured notes due 2025 remain outstanding as of such date or (y) January 14, 2027 if at least $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Cedar Fair’s senior unsecured notes due 2027 remain outstanding as of such date, (ii) convert the existing LIBOR-based rate applicable to the U.S. Revolving Facility to a Term SOFR Rate with a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% per annum and a floor of zero and (iii) make certain other amendments to the Credit Agreement to provide greater covenant flexibility for Cedar Fair, including modifying the requirement for the financial maintenance covenant to be tested at the end of any fiscal quarter to only be applicable to the extent that any Revolving Loans are outstanding as of such date.

All other material terms and provisions of the Revolving Credit Facilities remain substantially the same as the terms and provisions in place immediately prior to the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 6, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.
