(the “Company”) announced its intent to redeem $55,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”). A notice of redemption will be sent to the holders of the Notes in accordance with the requirements of the indenture governing the Notes (the “Indenture”). Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The anticipated redemption date is September 20, 2021.

This disclosure shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security nor a notice of redemption under the Indenture and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The information under this Item 7.01 of this report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Safe Harbor Statement.

Statements contained in this disclosure that state expectations or predictions about the future are forward-looking statements intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. The Registrant’s actual results could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could affect those results include “Risk Factors” and the other factors appearing in the documents that the Registrant has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication includes certain statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “will” or words of similar meaning, and include statements regarding the proposed redemption and the closing thereof. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions, which are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and factors that may cause such a difference and may include the risks and uncertainties described in Dave & Buster’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021 and Dave & Buster’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on June 10, 2021. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Dave & Buster’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, credit ratings or liquidity. Accordingly, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Dave & Buster’s views as of any subsequent date, and Dave & Buster’s does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
