13.  Subsequent Events

On October 6, 2022, we entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Fourth Amended Credit Agreement” and the revolving credit facility provided thereunder, the “Fourth Revolving Facility”). The Fourth Amended Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety our prior Amended Credit Agreement. The Fourth Revolving Facility, which terminates on October 6, 2027, provides us with revolving loan commitments that total $400 million, of which $50 million may be used for issuances of letters of credit. The Fourth Revolving Facility contains a commitment increase feature that, subject to certain conditions precedent, could provide for an additional $200 million in revolving loan commitments. Our obligations under the Fourth Revolving Facility are unsecured. Certain of our material subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations under the Fourth Revolving Facility. On October 6, 2022 we repaid the outstanding balance under the Revolving Facility and borrowed the same amount on the Fourth Revolving Facility. As of the date of this report, we had net availability for borrowings of $238.5 million, based on a $130.0 million outstanding debt balance and $31.5 million in standby letters of credit under the Fourth Revolving Facility.

Under the Fourth Revolving Facility, we are subject to the following financial covenants as of the last day of each fiscal quarter: (i) a maximum ratio of net adjusted debt to EBITDAR (the “Amended Net Adjusted Leverage Ratio”) of 4.25 and (ii) a minimum ratio of EBITDAR to interest and rent expense of 1.90. The Amended Net Adjusted Leverage Ratio includes a rental expense multiplier of six as compared to eight in the Amended Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s election, at a rate equal to either: (i) the sum of (A) adjusted term SOFR (as defined in the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement, the “Term SOFR Rate”) plus (B) a rate variable based on the Amended Net Adjusted Leverage Ratio, ranging from 1.00% to 1.75%, or (ii) the sum of (A) the highest of (x) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the prime rate in effect in the United States, (y) the greater of the rate calculated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as the federal funds effective rate or the rate that is published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as the overnight bank funding rate, in either case, plus 0.50%, and (z) the one-month Term SOFR Rate plus 1.00%, plus (B) a rate variable based on the Net Adjusted Leverage Ratio, ranging from 0.00% to 0.75%. The Company will also pay a fee variable based on the Net Adjusted Leverage Ratio, ranging from 0.125% to 0.25%, on the daily amount of unused commitments under the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement.

Letters of credit bear fees that are equivalent to the interest rate margin that is applicable to revolving loans that bear interest at the adjusted SOFR plus other customary fees charged by the issuing bank. We paid certain customary loan origination fees in conjunction with the Loan Agreement.

We are also subject to customary events of default that, if triggered, could result in acceleration of the maturity of the Fourth Revolving Facility. Subject to certain exceptions, the Fourth Revolving Facility also limits distributions with respect to our equity interests, such as cash dividends and share repurchases, based on a defined ratio, and also sets forth negative covenants that restrict indebtedness, liens, investments, sales of assets, fundamental changes and other matters.

On October 26, 2022, our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.27 per share to be paid on November 28, 2022 to the stockholders of record of each share of our common stock at the close of business on November 15, 2022.

On October 26, 2022, our Board increased the authorization to repurchase our common stock by 5.0 million shares to 61.0 million shares. See Note 9 for further discussion on our repurchase authorization and methods.
