Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 3, 2024, Churchill Downs Incorporated (“CDI” or the “Company”) announced that CDI successfully closed an amendment of its senior secured credit agreement dated as of December 27, 2017 (as amended from time to time, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) to extend the maturity date of CDI’s revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) and term loan A facility (the “Term Loan A”) from 2027 to 2029 and to make certain other changes to its Existing Credit Agreement.

Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement

CDI and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”), which amends CDI’s Existing Credit Agreement, among CDI (the “Borrower”), the subsidiary guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”), the lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Sixth Amendment provides for (i) an extension of the maturity date of CDI’s Revolver and Term Loan A until July 3, 2029, subject to an earlier “springing maturity” if certain indebtedness in respect of outstanding notes or other material indebtedness having a maturity date prior to July 3, 2029, is not refinanced or extended to a date after July 3, 2029, at least 91 days prior to such other debt’s stated maturity date, and (ii) certain other amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement, as set forth therein. The loans on CDI’s Revolver and Term Loan A bear interest at SOFR plus an applicable margin based on CDI’s and the Guarantors’ leverage ratio. The Guarantors guaranty CDI’s obligations with respect to the Revolver and the Term Loan A and are secured by substantially all assets of the Borrower and the Guarantors.

The Sixth Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and this description thereof is qualified by reference thereto.
