AMENDMENT NO. 23 TO SCHEDULE 13D
This Amendment No. 23 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, March 30, 2021, April 6, 2021, April 16, 2021, April 22, 2021, August 11, 2021, October 8, 2021, December 9, 2021, January 25, 2022, May 5, 2022, July 15, 2022, July 29, 2022 and March 11, 2024 (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 5 of the Schedule 13D to reflect an increase in the percentage of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting
Persons in light of the reduction in the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as disclosed in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2024.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) and (b) See Items 7-13 of the cover pages and Item 2 above.
(c) The Reporting Persons did not effect any transactions in shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock during the sixty day period prior to the filing of this Schedule 13D.
The percentages reported herein are based on a statement in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2024, that
there were 40,089,295 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding as of February 14, 2024.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
