On May 19, 2026, Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (the "Company") entered into a Cooperation Agreement (the "Cooperation Agreement") with H Partners Management, LLC ("H Partners"), pursuant to which Rehan Jaffer, Founder and Managing Member of H Partners, will be appointed to the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") following the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 26, 2026 (the "2026 Annual Meeting"), replacing Arik Ruchim, who will be stepping down from the Board following the meeting. H Partners has been a significant investor in the Company for more than 15 years and has long had a representative on the Six Flags Board, with Mr. Ruchim serving as a director since 2020. The Company thanks Mr. Ruchim for his outstanding contributions to the Board and looks forward to benefitting from Mr. Jaffer's skills and experience.

Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, effective immediately following the 2026 Annual Meeting, (i) Arik Ruchim will resign from the Board, (ii) the Board will appoint Rehan Jaffer to the Board as a Class III director, with a term expiring at the Company's 2027 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2027 Annual Meeting"), who will fill the vacancy among the Class III directors created by the resignation of Mr. Ruchim and (iii) Mr. Jaffer will be appointed to the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board.

Additionally, pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, Mr. Jaffer delivered to the Company an irrevocable resignation letter pursuant to which he will resign from the Board and all applicable committees thereof effective upon the earliest of (i) the date on which H Partners ceases to have beneficial ownership and/or economic exposure of or to at least 3% of the Company's then outstanding shares of common stock ("Minimum Ownership Requirement") and (ii) the date on which H Partners has been determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have materially breached any of its obligations under the Cooperation Agreement that has not been cured after written notice from the Company.

Under the Cooperation Agreement, until the Standstill Termination Date (as defined below), H Partners agreed to vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it and over which it has direct or indirect voting power in accordance with the Board's recommendations with respect to (i) the election, removal and/or replacement of directors of the Company (other than any removal or replacement of Mr. Jaffer) and (ii) any other proposal submitted to stockholders; provided, however, that in the event either Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. and Glass Lewis & Co. recommend otherwise with respect to any Company-sponsored proposal submitted to stockholders (other than the election or removal of directors), H Partners shall be permitted (but not required) to vote in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of Common Stock; provided, further, that H Partners will be permitted to vote in its sole discretion with respect to any proposal to approve an extraordinary transaction.

The Cooperation Agreement also includes customary standstill restrictions and mutual non-disparagement provisions.

The Cooperation Agreement will remain in place until the later of (i) the conclusion of the 2027 Annual Meeting or (ii) twenty (20) days following the date that Mr. Jaffer no longer serves on the Board (such later date, the "Standstill Termination Date").
