Gaming & Leisure Properties to redeem $850M senior notes

WYOMISSING, PA – Gaming & Leisure Properties , Inc. (NASDAQ:GLPI), a real estate investment trust specializing in casino properties, announced today that it has decided to redeem all $850 million of its outstanding 5.250% Senior Notes due in June 2025. The company’s operating partnership, GLP Capital, L.P., and its wholly owned subsidiary, GLP Financing II, Inc., collectively known as the Issuers, will proceed with the redemption of the notes.

The redemption date is set for March 3, 2025, at which point holders of the 2025 Notes will receive 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date. This decision to redeem the notes was communicated to the registered holders on January 31, 2025, through a formal notice of redemption.

The move to redeem these senior notes comes as part of Gaming & Leisure Properties’ financial management strategy. By redeeming these notes, the company aims to manage its debt profile and reduce future interest expenses. The redeemed notes were originally set to mature in June 2025, and the decision to call them early will potentially realign the company’s financial obligations.

Investors and stakeholders are paying close attention to such financial maneuvers as they can have implications on a company’s balance sheet and future interest payments. Gaming & Leisure Properties, Inc., headquartered in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, operates as a self-managed and self-administered REIT. The company owns a diversified portfolio of gaming and related assets.

This announcement is based on the latest 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which provides formal documentation of significant events that are important to investors. The company’s decision to redeem the 2025 Notes is such an event, and it is detailed in the filing for investors and analysts to review.
