Credit Agreement – Bank of Montreal

In May 2012, the Company, through its Canadian subsidiaries, entered into the CAD 28.0 million credit agreement with the Bank of Montreal (“BMO”). On August 15, 2014, the Company, through its Canadian subsidiaries, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with BMO that increased the Company’s borrowing capacity to CAD 39.1 million. In September 2016, the Company, through its Canadian subsidiaries, entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement that increased the Company’s borrowing capacity to CAD 69.2 million. In August 2018, the Company, through its Canadian subsidiaries, entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement (the “BMO Credit Agreement”), to provide additional financing for the construction and development of the CMR project, which increased the Company’s borrowing capacity to CAD 102.2 million. The interest rate under the BMO Credit Agreement is BMO’s floating rate plus a margin, except for the rates for Credit Facility H, which will be determined upon execution of a lease agreement. As discussed further below, the Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate paid related to a portion of the outstanding balance on the BMO Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had borrowed CAD 77.8 million, of which the outstanding balance was CAD 55.3 million ($40.5 million based on the exchange rate in effect on December 31, 2018) and the Company had approximately CAD 26.1 million ($19.1 million based on the exchange rate in effect on December 31, 2018) available under the BMO Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company is using CAD 3.0 million ($2.2 million based on the exchange rate in effect on December 31, 2018) from Credit Facility E for the interest rate swap agreements discussed below.

The BMO Credit Agreement consists of the following credit facilities:

The Company used borrowings under Credit Facility B primarily to repay the Company’s mortgage loan related to CRA, pay for the additional 33.3% investment in CPL, pay for development costs related to CDR and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Once the principal amount of an advance has been repaid, it cannot be re-borrowed. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no additional available borrowings under Credit Facility B.

Credit Facility C is a CAD 11.0 million revolving credit facility with a term of five years that expires in August 2019.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no additional available borrowings under Credit Facility D.

Credit Facility E is a CAD 3.0 million treasury risk management facility. The Company may use this facility to hedge interest rate risk or currency exchange rate risk. Credit Facility E has a term of five years that expires in August 2019. The Company is currently utilizing Credit Facility E to hedge interest rate risk as discussed below.

Credit Facility F is a CAD 33.0 million demand, non-revolving, construction credit facility for use for the construction and development of the CMR project. Advances for funding the CMR project can be borrowed through the BMO Credit Agreement until the earliest of (i) the date on which demand for payment is made by BMO; (ii) August 24, 2019; (iii) the Project Construction Completion Date, as defined in the BMO Credit Agreement; or (iv) the occurrence of event of default, as defined in the BMO Credit Agreement (each, a “Facility Termination Date”). On the Facility Termination Date, the principal balance will be converted to Credit Facility G. Once funds are advanced from Credit Facility F, they cannot be re-borrowed. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had CAD 19.1 million ($14.0 million based on the exchange rate in effect on December 31, 2018) available for borrowing under Credit Facility F.

Credit Facility G is a committed, non-revolving, term credit facility that the Company will utilize at the maturity of Credit Facility F. Credit Facility G has a term of five years from the date of conversion of Credit Facility F. The Company cannot re-borrow funds that have been repaid under Credit Facility G.

Credit Facility H is a CAD 2.0 million equipment leasing credit facility for use for the Century Mile project pursuant to the Interim Funding Agreement and Master Lease Agreement described in the BMO Credit Agreement. The Company may re-borrow the principal amount within the limits described in the BMO Credit Agreement pursuant to the Interim Funding Agreement and Master Lease Agreement.

Any funds not drawn down under the BMO Credit Agreement are subject to standby fees ranging from 0.50% to 0.75% payable quarterly in arrears. Standby fees of CAD 0.1 million ($0.1 million based on the exchange rate in effect on December 31, 2018) were recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statement of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2018. The shares of the Company’s subsidiaries that own CRA, CAL, CSA and CMR and the Company’s 75% interest in CDR are pledged as collateral for the BMO Credit Agreement. The BMO Credit Agreement contains a number of financial covenants applicable to the Canadian subsidiaries, including restricting their incurrence of additional debt, a debt to EBITDA ratio less than 4:1, a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than 1:1, maintenance of a CAD 50.0 million equity balance and a capital expenditure limit of CAD 4.0 million for 2018, CAD 5.5 million for 2019 and CAD 2.5 million per year thereafter. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants of the BMO Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2018.

The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to partially hedge the risk of future increases in the variable rate debt under the BMO Credit Agreement. The interest rate swap agreements are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. As a result, changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps are recognized in interest expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings. The interest rate is calculated as the fixed rate plus an applicable margin. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had the following interest rate swap agreements set at a Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”):

Notional amount of CAD 6.5 million ($4.8 million based on the exchange rate in effect on December 31, 2018) with a rate of 3.89% expiring in August 2019.

Notional amount of CAD 6.5 million ($4.8 million based on the exchange rate in effect on December 31, 2018) with a rate of 3.92% expiring in August 2019.

Notional amount of CAD 11.6 million ($8.5 million based on the exchange rate in effect on December 31, 2018) with a rate of 4.08% expiring in December 2021.

Deferred financing costs consist of the Company’s costs related to the financing of the BMO Credit Agreement. The Company recognized $0.4 million and $0.3 million in deferred financing costs related to the BMO Credit Agreement for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2016, respectively. Amortization expenses relating to deferred financing charges were $0.1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. These costs are included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss).

Century Downs Racetrack and Casino

CDR’s land lease is a financing obligation to the Company. Prior to the Company’s acquisition of its ownership interest in CDR, CDR sold a portion of land on which Century Downs is located and then entered into an agreement to lease back a portion of the land sold. The Company accounts for the lease using the financing method by accounting for the land subject to lease as an asset and the lease payments as interest on the financing obligation. Under the land lease, CDR has four options to purchase the land. The first option is on July 1, 2023. Due to the nature of the CDR land lease financing obligation, there are no principal payments due until the Company exercises its option to purchase the land. Lease payments are applied to interest only, and any change in the outstanding balance of the financing obligation relates to foreign currency translation. As of December 31, 2018, the outstanding balance on the financing obligation was CAD 19.5 million ($14.3 million based on the exchange rate in effect on December 31, 2018).

There is no set repayment schedule for the CPL credit facilities. The Company classifies them as short-term debt due to the nature of the agreements. The Company estimates that Credit Facility F of the BMO Credit Agreement will be converted to Credit Facility G, a term loan, in August 2019, and the Bank of Montreal maturity schedule above is based on this assumption. The current amount borrowed, any additional borrowings or a different conversion date will change the maturity of that debt. The UniCredit Agreement is not included in the table above because no amounts were borrowed as of December 31, 2018.
