EXPLANATORY NOTE

Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 promulgated under the Act, this Schedule 13D/A (this Amendment No. 4) amends the Schedule 13D filed on November 12, 2013 (the Original Schedule 13D) on behalf of FIG LLC, Fortress Fund V GP L.P., Fortress Fund V GP Holdings Ltd., Fortress Operating Entity I LP, FIG Corp., Fortress Investment Group LLC and Wesley R. Edens in respect of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common Stock), of Gaming and Leisure Properties Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the Issuer), as amended on December 23, 2013 (Amendment No. 1), February 17, 2015 (Amendment No. 2) and March 19, 2015 (Amendment No. 3). Further, this Amendment No. 4 is hereby incorporated herein as Amendment No. 1 to the initial Schedule 13D filed on March 19, 2015 on behalf of Fortress GLPI VoteCo LLC and Randal A. Nardone in respect of the Common Stock of the Issuer. Disclosure Items set forth in the Original Schedule 13D, as modified by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3, shall remain in effect except to the extent expressly amended hereby and (as modified herein) are incorporated into such initial Schedule 13D filing. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3.

This Amendment No. 4 is being filed to reflect the reduction of the Reporting Persons beneficial ownership below five percent of the Common Stock outstanding, as described in Item 6.

See Item 6 of this Amendment No. 4. The events described in Item 6 did not include the acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock by the Reporting Persons.

As described in Item 6, which is incorporated herein by reference, following the May 2016 Offering, VoteCo and Messrs. Edens and Nardone ceased to be a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on May 24, 2016.

Mr. Edens may be deemed to beneficially own and share the power to vote and dispose of the 10,179 shares of Common Stock held directly by FIG.

All percentages of Common Stock outstanding contained herein are based on 202,071,893 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 17, 2016, other than the percentage set forth in the first paragraph of this Item 5, which is based on 113,662,355 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 20, 2015 as set forth in Item 5 of Amendment No. 3.
