Note 8 – Debt 

Senior Secured Credit Facility

 

In October 2017, the Company entered into the Credit Facility, then consisting of an $800 million term loan and a $100 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility was subsequently increased from $100 million to $200 million in 2018.

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $772 million of outstanding term loan borrowings under the Credit Facility, no letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility, and the revolving credit facility was undrawn, leaving borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2019 of $200 million.

Interest and Fees

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (1) a base rate equal to the greatest of the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, the applicable administrative agent’s prime rate as announced from time to time, or the LIBOR rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, subject to a floor of 1.75% (with respect to the term loan) or 1.00% (with respect to borrowings under the revolving credit facility) or (2) the LIBOR rate for the applicable interest period, subject to a floor of 0.75% (with respect to the term loan only), plus in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the term loan under the Credit Facility is 2.00% for base rate loans and 3.00% for LIBOR rate loans. The applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving credit facility ranges from 1.50% to 2.00% for base rate loans and 2.50% to 3.00% for LIBOR rate loans, based on the Company’s net leverage ratio. The commitment fee for the revolving credit facility is payable quarterly at a rate of 0.375% or 0.50%, depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio, and is accrued based on the average daily unused amount of the available revolving commitment. As of December 31, 2019, the weighted-average effective interest rate on the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility was approximately 5.3%.

 

Optional and Mandatory Prepayments

The revolving credit facility matures on October 20, 2022, and the term loan under the Credit Facility matures on October 20, 2024. The term loan under the Credit Facility is repayable in 27 quarterly installments of $2.0 million each, which commenced in March 2018, followed by a final installment of $746.0 million at maturity. In April 2019, the Company made a $18.0 million prepayment of the term loan under the Credit Facility with the proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Notes.

 

Guarantees and Collateral

Borrowings under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain insignificant or unrestricted subsidiaries) and are secured by substantially all of the present and future assets of the Company and its subsidiary guarantors (subject to of certain exceptions).

 

Financial and Other Covenants

Under the Credit Facility, the Company and its restricted subsidiaries are subject to certain limitations, including limitations on their respective ability to: incur additional debt, grant liens, sell assets, make certain investments, pay dividends and make certain other restricted payments. In addition, the Company will be required to pay down the term loan under the Credit Facility under certain circumstances if the Company or its restricted subsidiaries issue debt, sell assets, receive certain extraordinary receipts or generate excess cash flow (subject to exceptions). The revolving credit facility contains a financial covenant regarding a maximum net leverage ratio that applies when borrowings under the revolving credit facility exceed 30% of the total revolving commitment. The Credit Facility also prohibits the occurrence of a change of control, which includes the acquisition of beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the Company’s capital stock (other than by certain permitted holders, which include, among others, Blake L. Sartini, Lyle A. Berman, and certain affiliated entities). If the Company defaults under the Credit Facility due to a covenant breach or otherwise, the lenders may be entitled to, among other things, require the immediate repayment of all outstanding amounts and sell the Company’s assets to satisfy the obligations thereunder. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2019.

 

Senior Notes due 2026

On April 15, 2019, the Company issued $375 million of 2026 Notes in a private placement to institutional buyers at face value. The 2026 Notes bear interest at 7.625%, payable semi-annually on April 15th and October 15th of each year.

In conjunction with the issuance of the 2026 Notes, the Company incurred approximately $6.7 million in debt financing costs and fees that have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the 2026 Notes using the effective interest method.

The net proceeds of the 2026 Notes were used to (i) repay the Company’s former $200 million Second Lien Term Loan, (ii) repay outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, (iii) repay $18 million of the outstanding term loan indebtedness under the Credit Facility, and (iv) pay accrued interest, fees and expenses related to each of the foregoing.

Optional Prepayments

The 2026 Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time during the 12 months beginning on April 15, 2022 at a redemption price of 103.813%, during the 12 months beginning on April 15, 2023 at a redemption price of 101.906%, and at any time on or after April 15, 2024 at a redemption price of 100%, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date. Prior to April 15, 2022, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the 2026 Notes at a redemption price of 107.625% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date, from the net cash proceeds of specified equity offerings. Prior to April 15, 2022, the Company may also redeem the 2026 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and an Applicable Premium (as defined in the indenture governing the 2026 Notes (the “Indenture”)), if any, thereon to the redemption date.

Financial and Other Covenants

The 2026 Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantees the Credit Facility. The 2026 Notes are the Company and its subsidiary guarantors’ general senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s respective existing and future unsecured unsubordinated debt. The 2026 Notes are effectively junior in right of payment to the Company and its subsidiary guarantors’ existing and future secured debt, including under the Credit Facility (to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt), are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of any of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2026 Notes, and are senior in right of payment to all of the Company and its subsidiary guarantors’ existing and future subordinated indebtedness.

Under the Indenture, the Company and its restricted subsidiaries are subject to certain limitations, including limitations on their respective ability to: incur additional debt. grant liens, sell assets, make certain investments, pay dividends and make certain other restricted payments. In the event of a change of control (which includes the acquisition of more than 50% of our capital stock, other than by certain permitted holders, which include, among others, Blake L. Sartini, Lyle A. Berman, and certain affiliated entities), each holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s 2026 Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

 

Expenses Related to Extinguishment and Modification of Debt

In April 2019, the Company recognized a $5.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt and $3.7 million of expense related to modification of debt, related to the repayment of the Company’s Second Lien Term Loan and $18 million prepayment of the term loan under its Credit Facility.

Derivative Instruments

In November 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement (the “Interest Rate Cap”) with a notional value of $650 million for a cash payment of $3.1 million. The Interest Rate Cap establishes a range whereby the counterparty will pay the Company if one-month LIBOR exceeds the ceiling rate of 2.25%. The Interest Rate Cap settles monthly commencing in January 2018 through the termination date in December 31, 2020. No payments or receipts are exchanged on the Interest Rate Cap unless interest rates rise above the pre-determined ceiling rate. The estimated fair value of the Company’s Interest Rate Cap is derived from a market price obtained from a dealer quote. Such quote represents the estimated amount the Company would receive to terminate the contract. The fair value of the Company’s Interest Rate Cap was $5.0 million as of December 31, 2018 and was recorded in other long-term assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2019, the fair value of the Company’s Interest Rate Cap was zero.

Former Senior Secured Credit Facility

 

In connection with the American Acquisition and the entry into the Credit Facility in October 2017, the Company repaid all principal amounts outstanding under the Company’s former credit agreement of approximately $173.4 million, together with accrued interest. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2017.
