Current Portion of Long-Term Debt
CERP’s current portion of long-term debt is $26 million, which includes scheduled principal payments on its senior secured loan, other unsecured borrowings, and capitalized lease obligations. CGP’s current portion of long-term debt is $22 million, which includes scheduled principal payments on term loans, special improvement district bonds, and various capital lease obligations.
Although there are no outstanding amounts under the revolving credit facilities for CERP or CGPH as of June 30, 2017, borrowings under these revolving credit facilities are each subject to separate note agreements executed based on the provisions of the applicable credit facility agreements, and each note has a contractual maturity of less than one year. The applicable credit facility agreements each have a contractual maturity of greater than one year, and we have the ability to rollover the outstanding principal balances on a long-term basis. Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facilities are intended to satisfy short term liquidity needs and are classified as current.
Fair Value
We calculate the fair value of debt based on borrowing rates available as of June 30, 2017, for debt with similar terms and maturities, and based on market quotes of our publicly traded debt. We classify the fair value of debt within Level 1 and Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

CERP Debt
On May 12, 2017, CERP amended its first lien credit agreement to reduce the interest rate margins applicable to approximately $211 million of its revolving credit facility and to the entire remaining $2.4 billion of its term loan facility by 2.50%. The amendment also included automatic step-ups in the scheduled quarterly payments to approximately $16 million beginning December 31, 2018, and to approximately $31 million beginning December 31, 2019. This amendment resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1 million, which is recorded in Restructuring of CEOC and other in the Statements of Operations.

____________________
(1)  
Interest rate is fixed, except where noted.
(2) 
Variable interest rate for the $211 million amended revolver is LIBOR plus 3.50%, down from 6.00% prior to the amendment. The variable interest rate on the remaining $59 million is determined by adding LIBOR to a base rate of 6.00%.
(3) 
Variable interest rate was amended during the 2017 second quarter from 6.00% plus the greater of LIBOR or a 1% floor to 3.50% plus the greater of LIBOR or a 1% floor.

CGP Debt
On April 27, 2017, CGPH entered into an Incremental Assumption Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to its First Lien Credit Agreement that, among other things, (a) provided for an increase in CGPH’s existing Senior Secured Term Loan of $175 million to approximately $1.3 billion and (b) reduced the interest rate margins applicable to the Senior Secured Term Loan and CGPH's existing $150 million revolving credit facility by 2.25%. On June 20, 2017, the $175 million incremental proceeds were used to repay the property-specific term loan encumbering The Cromwell, which extended the final maturity for the majority of the $175 million from 2019 to 2021. At the time of the repayment, The Cromwell became part of the CGPH restricted group (which is subject to certain restrictions or limitations placed on CGPH and its restricted subsidiaries), and its assets were pledged as collateral for both the CGPH Senior Secured Term Loan and the CGPH Notes. This amendment resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $4 million, which is recorded in Restructuring of CEOC and other in the Statements of Operations.
