ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

On September 27, 2024, IRG Canton Village Member delivered a preliminary non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Board of Directors of the Issuer related to the proposed acquisition, by a to-be-formed affiliate of IRG Canton Village Member (“Buyer”), of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock not owned by Buyer, its affiliated entities and any potential co-investors in Buyer or its affiliates, for cash consideration of $1.98 per share of Common Stock (the “Proposed Transaction”).

The Proposed Transaction is subject to certain conditions, including among other things, the completion of a due diligence review, negotiation and agreement of transaction structure and transaction documents, approval of the Proposed Transaction by a special committee consisting of independent members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors, the Issuer’s Board of Directors and any required stockholder approvals, necessary third party consents, refinance of certain of the Issuer’s PACE financing and renegotiation of the ground lease for the Issuer’s waterpark, and securing committed financing on terms satisfactory to Buyer in an amount be sufficient to fund the Issuer’s anticipated working capital needs for approximately 24 months following consummation of the Proposed Transaction.

The Proposed Transaction could result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a)−(j) of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D, including, without limitation, the acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer, a change to the present board of directors of the Issuer, an extraordinary corporate transaction (such as a merger) involving the Issuer, delisting of the Common Stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market and other material changes in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure. The Reporting Persons are expected to take actions in furtherance of the Proposal or any amendment thereof.

The Proposal is non-binding in nature, constitutes a preliminary indication of interest and does not obligate in any way Buyer, the Reporting Persons or the Issuer to negotiate or enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the Proposal. No assurance can be given that any definitive agreement will be entered into, that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated, or that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated on the terms set forth in the Proposal. IRG Canton Village Member may at any time, or from time to time: amend, pursue, or choose not to pursue the Proposed Transaction; change the terms of the Proposed Transaction contemplated by the Proposal, including the price, conditions, or scope of the Proposed Transaction; take any action in or out of the ordinary course of business to facilitate or increase the likelihood of consummation of the Proposed Transaction; otherwise seek control or seek to influence the management and policies of the Issuer; or change their intentions with respect to any such matters.

Reference to the Proposal in this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Proposal, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
