Completion of the acquisition at that time is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the absence of any governmental order or law prohibiting such acquisition and the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. For additional information regarding PENN’s investment in Barstool and the terms thereof, see the information included within Note 10 to PENN’s consolidated financial statements under the caption “Investment in Barstool Sports” on pages 25-26 of PENN’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 4, 2022.
