Senior Secured Credit Facilities
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are party to a credit agreement dated as of October 18, 2013, by and among SGI, as the borrower, the Company, as a guarantor, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders and other agents party thereto. Prior to the increase in the revolving credit facility and the assumption of the incremental term loans referred to below, the credit agreement provided for senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $2,600 million, including a $300.0 million revolving credit facility, which has dollar and multi-currency tranches and a $2,300 million term B-1 loan facility.
On October 1, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to the credit agreement to, among other things, (1) permit the Bally acquisition and the transactions related thereto and (2) effective as of the consummation of the Bally acquisition, (A) increase the revolving credit facility to $567.6 million, (B) permit SGI to assume the term loans under the Escrow Credit Agreement referred to below as incremental term B-2 loans under the credit agreement and (C) modify the financial covenant contained in the credit agreement such that it will be tested each quarter, irrespective of usage of the revolving credit facility.
On October 1, 2014, Escrow Corp. entered into the Escrow Credit Agreement by and among Escrow Corp., as borrower, the lenders and other agents from time to time party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. The Escrow Credit Agreement provided for $2.0 billion of term loans, the net proceeds of which provided a portion of the funds used to finance the Bally acquisition. Upon the consummation of the Bally acquisition, the term loans under the Escrow Credit Agreement were assumed by SGI as incremental term B-2 loans under the credit agreement.
On February 11, 2015, SGI entered into a lender joinder agreement to the credit agreement with an additional commitment lender. Pursuant to the joinder agreement, the amount of the revolving credit facility under the credit agreement was increased by $25.0 million to $592.6 million. Up to $350.0 million of the revolving credit facility is available for issuances of letters of credit.
The term B-1 loans incurred in 2013 under the credit agreement are scheduled to mature on October 18, 2020, the term B-2 loans incurred in 2014 under the credit agreement are scheduled to mature on October 1, 2021 and the revolving credit facility under the credit agreement is scheduled to mature on October 18, 2018 (subject to accelerated maturity depending on our liquidity at the time our 2018 Notes, 2020 Notes and 2021 Notes become due).
The term B-1 loans and the term B-2 loans under the credit agreement amortize in equal quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum of the stated principal amount thereof, with the remaining balance due at final maturity.
Interest on the term B-1 loans and the term B-2 loans is payable under the credit agreement at a rate equal to the eurodollar (LIBOR) rate or the base rate, plus an applicable margin, in each case, subject to a eurodollar (LIBOR) rate floor of 1.00% or a base rate floor of 2.00% as applicable. The applicable margin for the term B-1 loans and the term B-2 loans is 5.00% per annum for eurodollar (LIBOR) loans and 4.00% per annum for base rate loans. The initial applicable margin on eurodollar (LIBOR) rate borrowings under the revolving credit facility under the credit agreement is 3.000% per annum and may be reduced by 0.25% or 0.50% based on step downs tied to our net first lien leverage ratio.
SGI is required to pay commitment fees to revolving lenders on the actual daily unused portion of the revolving commitments at a rate of 0.50% per annum through maturity, subject to a step-down to 0.375% based upon the achievement of certain net first lien leverage ratios. SGI may voluntarily prepay all or any portion of outstanding amounts under the credit facilities at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to (1) redeployment costs in the case of a prepayment of eurocurrency loans on a day that is not the last day of the relevant interest period and (2) a 1.00% prepayment premium on any prepaid term loans in connection with a repricing transaction occurring prior to November 21, 2015.
The credit agreement contains certain negative covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict the Company’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt or guarantees, grant liens on assets, make acquisitions or other investments, dispose of assets, prepay junior indebtedness or modify certain debt instruments, pay dividends or other payments on capital stock, consolidate or merge, enter into arrangements that restrict the ability to pay dividends, transfer assets or grant liens, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, enter into or consummate transactions with affiliates, or change fiscal year. The credit agreement contains customary events of default (subject to customary grace periods and materiality thresholds). Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the obligations under the credit facilities may be accelerated and the commitments may be terminated.
Borrowings under the credit agreement are guaranteed by the Company and each of its current and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (other than SGI), subject to certain customary exceptions as set forth in the credit agreement. The obligations under the credit agreement are secured by a first priority lien on (1) substantially all the property and assets (real and personal, tangible and intangible) of SGI, the Company and the other guarantors and (2) 100% of the capital stock (or other equity interests) of all of the Company’s direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock (or other equity interests) of the direct foreign subsidiaries of SGI and the guarantors, in each case, subject to certain customary exceptions.
In connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in 2014, the Company capitalized $74.3 million of financing fees and $20.0 million of original issuance discount. In addition, in 2014 we expensed $64.7 million of debt financing fees related to commitment fees related to the Bally acquisition, which were included as interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

The 2021 Notes Indenture contains events of default customary for agreements of its type (with customary grace periods and maturity thresholds, as applicable).
In connection with the issuance of the 2021 Notes, SGI, the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representative for the initial purchasers listed therein, entered into a registration rights agreement, dated June 4, 2014 (the "2021 Notes Registration Rights Agreement"). Under the 2021 Notes Registration Rights Agreement, SGI and the guarantors agreed, for the benefit of the holders of the 2021 Notes, that they will file with the SEC, and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective, a registration statement relating to an offer to exchange the 2021 Notes for an issue of SEC-registered notes (the "2021 Exchange Notes") with terms identical to the 2021 Notes (except that the 2021 Exchange Notes will not be subject to restrictions on transfer or to any increase in annual interest rate as described below).
Under certain circumstances, including if applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC do not permit SGI to effect the exchange offer, SGI and the guarantors will use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective a shelf registration statement relating to resales of the 2021 Notes and to keep that shelf registration statement effective until the first anniversary of the date such shelf registration statement becomes effective, or such shorter period that will terminate when all 2021 Notes covered by the shelf registration statement have been sold. The obligation to complete the exchange offer and/or file a shelf registration statement will terminate on the second anniversary of the date of the 2021 Notes Registration Rights Agreement.
If the exchange offer is not completed (or, if required, the shelf registration statement is not declared effective) on or before June 4, 2015 (subject to the right of the Company to extend such date by up to 90 additional days under customary "blackout" provisions if the Company determines in good faith that it is in possession of material, non-public information), the annual interest rate borne by the 2021 Notes will be increased by 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period immediately following such date and by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, up to a maximum additional rate of 1.00% per annum thereafter until the exchange offer is completed, the shelf registration statement is declared effective or the obligation to complete the exchange offer and/or file the shelf registration statement terminates, at which time the interest rate will revert to the original interest rate on the date the 2021 Notes were originally issued.
2019 Notes
On June 4, 2014, SGI completed a tender offer pursuant to which it purchased $140.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes for total consideration of $1,051.25 for each $1,000.0 principal amount of the 2019 Notes tendered, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
On June 4, 2014, SGI delivered a notice of redemption with respect to all $209.4 million of the remaining outstanding principal amount of the 2019 Notes, and satisfied and discharged the indenture governing the 2019 Notes by depositing funds with the trustee sufficient to pay the redemption price of 104.625% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In accordance with the notice of redemption, the 2019 Notes were redeemed on July 4, 2014 and the redemption payment was made on July 7, 2014.
The purchase and redemption of the 2019 Notes were funded, in part, with the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2021 Notes. In connection with the purchase and redemption of the 2019 Notes, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $25.9 million comprised primarily of the tender and redemption premiums and the write-off of previously deferred financing costs.
Senior Notes
Unsecured Notes
In connection with the Bally acquisition, on November 21, 2014, Escrow Corp. issued $2,200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Unsecured Notes in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to persons outside the United States under Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Unsecured Notes are senior unsecured obligations of SGI and rank equally to all of SGI’s existing and future senior debt and rank senior to all of SGI's existing and future senior subordinated debt. The Unsecured Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and all of its wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries (other than SGI). The Unsecured Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.
The Unsecured Notes Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability, and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries, including SGI, to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions or certain other restricted payments, purchase or redeem capital stock, make investments or extend credit, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, consummate certain asset sales, effect a consolidation or merger, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all assets, or create certain liens and other encumbrances on assets. The Unsecured Notes Indenture contains events of default customary for agreements of its type (with customary grace periods and maturity thresholds, as applicable).
In connection with the issuance of the Unsecured Notes, SGI, the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as representatives for the initial purchasers listed therein, entered into a registration rights agreement, dated November 21, 2014 (the "Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement").

Under certain circumstances, including if applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC do not permit SGI to effect the exchange offer, SGI and the guarantors will use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective a shelf registration statement relating to resales of the Unsecured Notes and to keep that shelf registration statement effective until the first anniversary of the date such shelf registration statement becomes effective, or such shorter period that will terminate when all Unsecured Notes covered by the shelf registration statement have been sold. The obligation to complete the exchange offer and/or file a shelf registration statement will terminate on the second anniversary of the date of the Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement.
If the exchange offer is not completed (or, if required, the shelf registration statement is not declared effective) on or before February 12, 2016 (subject to the right of the Company to extend such date by up to 90 additional days under customary "blackout" provisions if the Company determines in good faith that it is in possession of material, non-public information), the annual interest rate borne by the Unsecured Notes will be increased by 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period immediately following such date and by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, up to a maximum additional rate of 1.00% per annum thereafter until the exchange offer is completed, the shelf registration statement is declared effective or the obligation to complete the exchange offer and/or file the shelf registration statement terminates, at which time the interest rate will revert to the original interest rate on the date the Unsecured Notes were originally issued.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the Secured Notes Indenture), SGI must make an offer to purchase the Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. In addition, following an asset sale (as defined in the Secured Notes Indenture) and subject to the limitations contained in the Secured Notes Indenture, SGI must make an offer to purchase certain amounts of the Secured Notes using the net cash proceeds from such asset sale to the extent such proceeds are not applied as set forth in the Secured Notes Indenture, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Secured Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase.
The Secured Notes are senior secured obligations of SGI, equally and ratably secured with SGI’s obligations under the credit agreement. The Secured Notes rank equally to all of SGI’s existing and future senior debt and rank senior to all of SGI's existing and future senior subordinated debt. The Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and all of its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries (other than SGI). The Secured Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.    
The Secured Notes Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability, and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries, including SGI, to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions or certain other restricted payments, purchase or redeem capital stock, make investments or extend credit, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, consummate certain asset sales, effect a consolidation or merger, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all assets, or create certain liens and other encumbrances on assets. The Secured Notes Indenture contains events of default customary for agreements of its type (with customary grace periods and maturity thresholds, as applicable).
