AMENDMENT NO. 12 TO SCHEDULE 13D

 

This Amendment No. 12 to Schedule 13D (the “Amendment”) relates to Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of Bally’s Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” or the “Company”). This Amendment is being filed to amend the Schedule 13D that was originally filed on March 29, 2019 and amended on June 26, 2019, July 15, 2019, August 2, 2019, November 19, 2019, February 13, 2020, February 20, 2020, August 7, 2020, September 17, 2020, November 20, 2020, December 15, 2020 and March 30, 2021 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Unless otherwise indicated in this Amendment, all capitalized terms have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

 

* * *

 

This Amendment is being filed to amend and supplement Item 4 of the Schedule 13D as set forth below.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

On April 2, 2021, the Reporting Persons adopted a Rule 10b5-1 transaction plan (the“Plan”), relating to the sale of shares of Common Stock with a total value of $50 million (net of commission). The Plan was established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and during an “open window” period as permitted by the Company’s insider trading policy. The Plan establishes predetermined trading parameters that do not permit the Reporting Persons to exercise subsequent influence over how, when or whether to effect any transactions under the Plan. The Plan will continue until the specified shares have been sold or the Plan is terminated by the Reporting Persons.

 

The Reporting Persons intend to evaluate on an ongoing basis their investment in the Issuer and their options with respect to such investment. The Reporting Persons continue to reserve the right to change their purpose and to formulate and implement plans or proposals with respect to the Issuer at any time and from time to time.
