Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“ Shares” ), issued by Caesars Entertainment Corporation (the “ Issuer” ), and hereby amends the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC” ) on February 19, 2019 (as amended, the “
Schedule 13D” ), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on March 1, 2019, and Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on March 8, 2019, to furnish the additional information set forth herein. All
capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:
The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of, in the aggregate, 119,975,363
Shares (including Shares underlying the Convertible Bonds and the Forwards (see Item 6)). Of such Shares, 114,250,942 Shares and Forwards were purchased by the Reporting Persons collectively for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,025
million. The remaining 5,724,421 Shares may be deemed beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as a result of beneficially owning the Convertible Bonds (see Item 5), which were acquired at a purchase price of approximately $79.4 million.
The source of funding for the Shares held by the Reporting Persons (including Shares underlying the
Convertible Bonds and the Forwards) was the general working capital of the respective purchasers. The Shares held by the Reporting Persons are held in margin accounts together with other securities. Such margin accounts may from time to time have
debit balances. Part of the purchase price of such Shares was obtained through margin borrowing.
Item 5. Interest

Items 5(a) and (b) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended by replacing them in their entirety with the following:
(a) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 119,975,363 Shares
(including 5,724,421 Shares underlying the Convertible Bonds and 15,000,000 Shares underlying the Forwards), representing approximately 17.75% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares. The Reporting Persons beneficially own $41.2 million of the Issuer’s
5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Convertible Bonds”), which are convertible into 5,724,421 Shares, subject to adjustment. (The Reporting Persons’ percentage ownership of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares is based upon 675,457,421 Shares
outstanding, which is the sum of (i) the 669,733,000 Shares stated to be outstanding at October 30, 2018 by the Issuer in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2018 and (ii)
5,724,421 Shares, which is the number of Shares underlying the Convertible Bonds beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons).
(b) High River has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to 23,995,074 Shares
