Senior Secured Credit Facilities

In connection with the WMS acquisition, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into 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, providing for senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $2,600.0 million, including a $300.0 million revolving credit facility, which has dollar and multi-currency tranches, and a $2,300.0 million term loan facility. The term loan facility was used, in part, to finance the consideration paid in the WMS acquisition, to repay all indebtedness under our and WMS's prior credit agreements and to pay related acquisition and financing fees and expenses. Up to $200.0 million of the revolving credit facility is available for issuances of letters of credit. The term loan is scheduled to mature on October 18, 2020 and the revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature on October 18, 2018 (subject to accelerated maturity dates depending on our liquidity at the time our 2018 Notes and 2020 Notes become due).

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 certain first lien net leverage ratios. The credit facilities contain 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.

Senior Subordinated Notes

2021 Notes

On June 4, 2014, SGI issued the $350.0 million in aggregate principle amount of 2021 Notes at a price of 99.321% of the principal amount thereof in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to persons outside the United States under Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2021 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of June 4, 2014 (the "2021 Notes Indenture").

The 2021 Notes bear interest at the rate of 6.625% per annum, which accrues from June 4, 2014 and is payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on November 15, 2014. The 2021 Notes mature on May 15, 2021, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased, and are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2021 Notes Indenture. In connection with the issuance of the 2021 Notes, the Company capitalized financing costs of $7.3 million.

SGI may redeem some or all of the 2021 Notes at any time prior to May 15, 2017 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption plus a “make whole” premium. SGI may redeem some or all of the 2021 Notes at any time on or after May 15, 2017 at the prices specified in the 2021 Notes Indenture. In addition, at any time on or prior to May 15, 2017, SGI may redeem up to 35% of the initially outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price of 106.625% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, with the net cash proceeds from one or more equity offerings of the Company.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the 2021 Notes Indenture), SGI must make an offer to purchase the 2021 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 2021 Notes Indenture) and subject to the limitations contained in the 2021 Notes Indenture, SGI must make an offer to purchase certain amounts of the 2021 Notes using the net cash proceeds from such asset sale to the extent such proceeds are not applied as set forth in the 2021 Notes Indenture, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase.

The 2021 Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of SGI and are subordinated to all of the SGI’s existing and future senior debt, rank equally with all of SGI's existing and future senior subordinated debt and rank senior to all of SGI's future debt that is expressly subordinated to the 2021 Notes. The 2021 Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by the Company and all of its 100%-owned U.S. subsidiaries (other than SGI). The 2021 Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The 2021 Notes Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability, and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries, 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 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 “Registration Rights Agreement”). Under the 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 “Exchange Notes”) with terms identical to the 2021 Notes (except that the 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 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 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 principle amount of the 2019 Notes tendered, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable payment 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.

For additional information regarding our 2021 Notes and the repurchase and redemption of our 2019 Notes, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 6, 2014. For additional information regarding our 2018 Notes, 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes, see Note 15 in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We were in compliance with the covenants under our debt agreements as of June 30, 2014.

Capital Leases

On March 31, 2014, we entered into a new leasing arrangement with ITL for the lease of gaming machines in connection with a long-term services contract with a customer. We completed the placement of the new gaming machines under this contract as of June 30, 2014 and recorded a capital lease asset and minimum lease liability of $42.8 million.
