<p><i>PENN's Reduction of Number of Directors Up for Election at 2025 Annual Meeting Is a Breach of Fiduciary Duties and Violation of Law</i></p>
<p><i>Files Proxy Materials in Connection with PENN's 2025 Annual Meeting</i></p>
<p>HG Vora Capital Management, LLC (together with its affiliates, "HG Vora") today responded to the actions the Board of Directors of PENN Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PENN#NASDAQ">PENN</a>) ("PENN" or the "Company") took on April 25, 2025, which included reducing the number of seats up for election at PENN's 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") from three to two.</p>
<p>HG Vora believes the Board's self-serving action, taken in the face of the prospect of losing three Board seats, had no legitimate corporate purpose and deprives shareholders of their fundamental right to elect directors of their choosing.</p>
<p>In January 2025, after more than a year of working to ensure compliance with gaming regulations in over 20 states, HG Vora provided notice to PENN of its intention to nominate candidates to fill the three seats that were up for election at the Annual Meeting. HG Vora did so to restore accountability and proper oversight at PENN after years of poor judgment, failed transactions and value destructive actions.</p>
<p>On April 15, 2025, PENN notified HG Vora in writing of the Company's intention to hold an election for <i>three</i> Board seats at the Annual Meeting. On the morning of April 25, 2025, representatives of PENN and HG Vora discussed how best to fill the <i>three</i> available Board seats. HG Vora's representative reiterated HG Vora's belief that all <i>three</i> of its candidates would be successfully elected to the Board by PENN's shareholders if the proxy contest went to a final vote. Later that same day, PENN's Board announced the extraordinary action, in the midst of the proxy contest, of reducing the number of Board seats to be filled at the Annual Meeting.</p>
<p>PENN has previously violated state law with respect to the number of directors up for election. In 2024, for example, when HG Vora was planning to nominate candidates, PENN had too few directors in the class up for election in clear violation of Pennsylvania law. Only after the deadline for nominating directors had passed did the Company remedy its breach of Pennsylvania law.</p>
<p>On Friday, the Company also announced that the Board "intends" to nominate two of HG Vora's candidates, Johnny Hartnett and Carlos Ruisanchez. Just ten days prior, the Board expressed an entirely different intention, to nominate <i>three</i> different candidates. Because it is unclear if the Company's stated intention on Friday will persist, HG Vora will nominate its three candidates and solicit votes on their behalf.</p>
<p>Importantly, HG Vora believes its third candidate, William Clifford, would be a valuable addition to the Board of PENN. Rather than continuing to waste shareholder capital and corporate resources on entrenching the Board in the name of "activism defense," PENN should welcome Mr. Clifford to the Board and work with its financial advisors to consider all options to maximize shareholder value.</p>
<p>HG Vora is filing a preliminary proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in connection with the Company's Annual Meeting. HG Vora encourages shareholders to review its definitive proxy materials when they become available.</p>

<p><strong>Spirit Aerosystems Holdings, Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPR#NYSE">SPR</a>) shares traded higher <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">in the premarket on Monday following a</span> definitive agreement with Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSY#OTC">EADSY</a>) on Sunday to transfer ownership of specific assets and sites related to Airbus aerostructure production.</p>
<p>After the completion of this transaction, Airbus will assume ownership of the Spirit assets at the Kinston site in North Carolina, U.S. (A350 fuselage sections), the St. Nazaire site in France (A350 fuselage sections) and the Casablanca site in Morocco (A321 and A220 components).</p>
<p>The assets also include the production of A320 and A350 wing components in Prestwick, Scotland, the production of A220 pylons in Wichita, Kansas, U.S., and the production of A220 wings in Belfast, Northern Ireland.</p>
<p>Spirit AeroSystems plans to sell its Subang, Malaysia site to a third party.</p>
<p>If no suitable buyer is found, Airbus will also take ownership of the production of the A220 mid-fuselage at the Belfast site.</p>
<p>Additionally, the assets in Subang, Malaysia, related to Airbus programs will be acquired by Airbus if no suitable buyer is identified before the transaction closes.</p>
<p>The compensation amount has been revised to reflect this updated transaction scope, consistent with the binding term sheet agreement announced on July 1, 2024.</p>

<p>Moreover, Airbus has signed a memorandum of agreement with Spirit AeroSystems, agreeing to provide non-interest-bearing lines of credit totaling $200 million to support Spirit AeroSystems&#8217; work on Airbus programs.</p>

<p>Barclays analyst <strong>Paul Kearney</strong> on Monday initiated coverage on the shares of <strong>Gildan Activewear Inc</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIL#NYSE">GIL</a>) and announced a price forecast of $51.</p>
<p>The analyst initiated coverage on <strong>Macy&#8217;s Inc </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>) and <strong>Columbia Sportswear Co</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COLM#NASDAQ">COLM</a>) with an Equal Weight rating and announced a price forecast of $12 and $64, respectively.</p>

<p>While the analyst acknowledges the strength of the U.S. consumer, he remains cautious in the short term due to market turbulence and policy uncertainties impacting consumer and business sentiment. </p>

<p>The analyst highlights apparel as one of the sectors most vulnerable to tariff policy shifts. Considering the deflationary tendencies of apparel, along with consumer challenges and intense competition, Kearney anticipates a decline in unit sales during the second half of 2025 and the first half of 2026.</p>
<p>Although inventory management among department stores and retailers has normalized throughout 2024, the analyst warns that supply chain risks and weakening consumer demand could prompt retailers to adopt a conservative buying strategy in the second half of 2025.</p>
<p>The analyst expects retailers to prioritize key brands that drive traffic, manage costs effectively and offer better value to shoppers.</p>
<p>Kearney prefers companies that are expanding their direct-to-consumer (DTC) businesses and strengthening brand positioning to support price increases such as <strong>Ralph Lauren Corp</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RL#NYSE">RL</a>), <strong>Kontoor Brands Inc</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KTB#NYSE">KTB</a>), and <strong>Levi Strauss &amp; Co</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEVI#NYSE">LEVI</a>).</p>

<p><strong>Bitcoin</strong>&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) recent close above its bull market support band may be a potentially significant technical development, but the next two weeks will be crucial for determining whether this breakout is sustainable or merely <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44628685/bitcoin-is-a-realistic-global-reserve-asset-experts-say">another false signal</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened: </strong>Cryptocurrency analyst Benjamin Cowen said in his latest <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFNt0rCbmhA&amp;t=76s">podcast update</a> on Monday that investors should pay attention &#8220;anytime Bitcoin closes above either the 20-week simple moving average (SMA) or the 21-week expontential moving average (EMA).&#8221; </p>
<p>The bull market support band—consisting of these two moving averages—has historically served as a key indicator for Bitcoin&#8217;s momentum.</p>
<p>Bitcoin has attempted similar breakouts twice already in 2024, with both July and August seeing the cryptocurrency briefly rise above the support band before failing to hold these levels. </p>
<p>According to Cowen, the current situation mirrors those previous attempts, with the critical difference being whether Bitcoin can maintain its position above these indicators for at least two consecutive weekly closes.</p>
<p>&#8220;If Bitcoin can close the next two weeks above the 20-week SMA, then it&#8217;s pretty optimistic,&#8221; Cowen states, contrasting this with the alternative scenario: &#8220;If we get a weekly close below the 21-week EMA, then my guess is that we get a new low.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Why It Matters: </strong>This technical analysis is based on Cowen&#8217;s &#8220;social risk&#8221; metric, which measures surprisingly low retail interest in cryptocurrency.</p>
<p>Despite Bitcoin&#8217;s significant price appreciation in 2024-2025, social engagement metrics remain far below the levels seen during the 2021 bull market.</p>
<p>&#8220;The social risk is made up of five different risk metrics,&#8221; Cowen explains, citing YouTube subscribers and views, Twitter followers to analysts, exchanges, and Layer-1 projects. </p>
<p>&#8220;Despite what it has felt like at times, retail interest never actually returned in the same way that it did in 2021.&#8221;</p>
<p>This disconnect between Bitcoin&#8217;s price performance and retail engagement mirrors patterns seen in 2019, which Cowen attributes to similar monetary policy conditions. </p>
<p>&#8220;Monetary policy is more similar to 2019 this entire time than it is to 2020 and 2021,&#8221; he notes, pointing to quantitative tightening and limited rate cuts as key factors suppressing broader crypto market enthusiasm.</p>
<p>The altcoin market reflects this lack of retail participation, with Cowen noting that &#8220;altcoins keep bleeding to Bitcoin&#8221; as evidenced by Bitcoin&#8217;s dominance rising for eight consecutive weeks.</p>
<p>While Bitcoin trades above its bull market support band, the total altcoin market capitalization hasn&#8217;t even reached its 21-week EMA.</p>
<p>For investors, Cowen suggests the next few weeks will be critical in determining whether Bitcoin can maintain its technical strength, or if the current move represents another false breakout.</p>
