Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Amendment to Credit Agreement

On February 6, 2013, Caesars Entertainment Corporation (the “Registrant”) reported that its wholly owned subsidiary, Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (“CEOC”) received the requisite lenders’ consents and entered into an amendment (the “Bank Amendment”) to its senior secured credit facilities to, among other things: (i) use the net cash proceeds of $1,500,000,000 of new 9% senior secured notes due 2020 (the “New Notes”) to repay a portion of CEOC’s existing term loans at par, with such repayment being applied: first, to all outstanding B-1, B-2 and B-3 term loans held by consenting lenders; second, to B-5 and B-6 term loans held by consenting lenders, in an amount up to 20% of the principal amount of the B-5 and B-6 term loans; and third, if any proceeds remain outstanding, to outstanding term loans as CEOC elects in its discretion; (ii) obtain up to $75 million of extended revolving facility commitments with a maturity of January 28, 2017, (iii) increase the accordion capacity under the senior secured credit facilities by an additional $650 million (which may be used, among other things, to establish extended revolving facility commitments under the senior secured credit facilities); (iv) modify the calculation of the senior secured leverage ratio for purposes of the maintenance test under the senior secured credit facilities to exclude the New Notes; and (v) modify certain other provisions of the senior secured credit facilities. The New Notes will have a later maturity than that of the term loans being repaid with the net cash proceeds of the New Notes. The effectiveness of the proposed Bank Amendment and related transactions are subject to regulatory approval and other conditions.
