Cedar Fair Chief Legal Officer Brian Nurse has a million reasons to help usher the amusement park company’s $8 billion merger with Six Flags Entertainment Corp. to completion—literally.

Sandusky, Ohio-based Cedar Fair revealed in a recent regulatory filing that Nurse is eligible to receive 25,497 Cedar Fair shares—which are valued at nearly $1 million based on their current price—”to facilitate successful completion” of the merger with Arlington, Texas-based Six Flags Entertainment Corp. The companies hope to close the deal in the first half of 2024.
