Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On August 4, 2020, Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (the "Company") appointed Esi Eggleston Bracey and Enrique Ramirez to serve as directors of the Company, effective August 5, 2020, until the Company's 2021 annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are elected. The size of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") was increased from seven to nine directors. The Board has determined that Ms. Bracey and Mr. Ramirez are each independent under the New York Stock Exchange rules. As of the date of this filing, the Board has not determined the committees of the Board on which Ms. Bracey and Mr. Ramirez will serve. In connection with their appointment to the Board, on August 5, 2020, Ms. Bracey and Mr. Ramirez were each granted 6,976 shares of restricted stock of the Company under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan. The terms of this restricted stock, as well as the terms of their other compensation for service as a director, are consistent with the restricted stock and other compensation for the Company's other non-employee directors, as described in the proxy statement for the Company's 2020 annual meeting of stockholders.

Also, on August 4, 2020, Richard Roedel and Kurt Cellar, each a member of the Board since 2010, advised the Company of their intention to retire from the Board at the Company's 2021 annual meeting of stockholders and that they will not stand for re-election at that meeting. There are no disagreements between Mr. Roedel or Mr. Cellar and the Company or its management on any matters relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.
