Senior Secured Credit Facilities
In January 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to amend and restate its previous credit agreement, dated October 30, 2013, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), which provided for: (i) a five-year $700.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), (ii) a five-year $300.0 million term loan A facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”), and (iii) a seven-year $500.0 million Term Loan B facility (the “Term Loan B Facility” and collectively with the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan A Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Term Loan B Facility was fully repaid and terminated prior to 2019. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had conditional obligations under letters of credit issued pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities with face amounts aggregating $29.4 million.
In October 2018, in connection with the acquisition of Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (the “Pinnacle Acquisition”), we entered into an incremental joinder agreement (the “Incremental Joinder”), which amended the Credit Agreement. The Incremental Joinder provided for an additional $430.2 million of incremental loans having the same terms as the existing Term Loan A Facility, with the exception of extending the maturity date, and an additional $1,128.8 million of loans as a new tranche having new terms (the “Term Loan B-1 Facility”). With the exception of extending the maturity date, the Incremental Joinder did not impact the Revolving Credit Facility.
On April 14, 2020, the Company entered into a second amendment to its Credit Agreement with its various lenders (the “Amendment Agreement”) to provide for certain modifications. During the period beginning on April 14, 2020 and ending on the earlier of (x) the date that is two business days after the date on which the Company delivers a covenant relief period termination notice to the administrative agent and (y) the date on which the administrative agent receives a compliance certificate for the quarter ending March 31, 2021 (the “Covenant Relief Period”), the Company will not have to comply with any Maximum Leverage Ratio or Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement). During the Covenant Relief Period, the Company will be subject to a minimum liquidity covenant that requires cash and cash equivalents and availability under its Revolving Credit Facility to be (i) at least $400.0 million through April 30, 2020; (ii) $350.0 million during the period from May 1, 2020 through May 31, 2020; (iii) $300.0 million during the period from June 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020; and (iv) $225.0 million during the period from July 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021.
The Amendment Agreement also amended the financial covenants that are applicable after the Covenant Relief Period to permit the Company to (i) maintain a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio of up to a ratio that varies by quarter, ranging between 5.50:1.00 and 4.50:1.00 in 2021 and 4.25:1.00 thereafter, tested quarterly on a pro forma trailing twelve month (“PF TTM”) basis; (ii) maintain a maximum senior secured net leverage ratio of up to a ratio that varies by quarter, ranging between 4.50:1.00 and 3.50:1.00 in 2021 and 3.00:1.00 thereafter, tested quarterly on a PF TTM basis; and (iii) maintain an interest coverage ratio of 2.50:1.00, tested quarterly on a PF TTM basis.
In addition, the Amendment Agreement (i) provides that, during the Covenant Relief Period, loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan A Facility shall bear interest at either a base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin, in the case of base rate loans, of 2.00%, and in the case of adjusted LIBOR rate loans, of 3.00%; (ii) provides that, during the Covenant Relief Period, the Company shall pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility at a rate of 0.50% per annum; (iii) provides for a 0.75% LIBOR floor applicable to all LIBOR loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities; (iv) carves out COVID-19 related effects from certain terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities during the Covenant Relief Period; and (v) makes certain other changes to the covenants and other provisions of the Credit Agreement.
The payment and performance of obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed by a lien on and security interest in substantially all of the assets (other than excluded property such as gaming licenses) of the Company.
5.625% Senior Unsecured Notes
In January 2017, the Company completed an offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior unsecured notes that mature on January 15, 2027 (the “5.625% Notes”) at a price of par. Interest on the 5.625% Notes is payable on January 15th and July 15th of each year.
2.75% Unsecured Convertible Notes 
In May 2020, the Company completed a public offering of $330.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% unsecured convertible notes that mature, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased, on May 15, 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”) at a price of par. After lender fees and discounts, net proceeds received by the Company were $322.2 million. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable on May 15th and November 15th of each year, beginning on November 15, 2020.
The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $23.40 per share, or 42.7350 shares, per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment if certain corporate events occur. However, in no event will the conversion exceed 55.5555 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes. As of September 30, 2020, the maximum number of shares that could be issued to satisfy the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes is 18,360,815 and the amount by which the Convertible Notes if-converted value exceeded its principal amount was $1,004.3 million.
Prior to February 15, 2026, at their election, holders of the Convertible Notes may convert outstanding notes starting in the fourth quarter of 2020 if the trading price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price or, starting shortly after the issuance of the Convertible Notes, if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes is less than 98% of the product of the trading price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate then in effect. The Convertible Notes may, at the Company’s election, be settled in cash, shares of common stock of the Company, or a combination thereof. The Company has the option to redeem the Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, beginning November 20, 2023.
In addition, the Convertible Notes convert into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the occurrence of certain corporate events that constitute a fundamental change under the indenture governing the Convertible Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. In connection with certain corporate events or if the Company issues a notice of redemption, it will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate events or during the relevant redemption period for such Convertible Notes.
The Convertible Notes contain a cash conversion feature, and as a result, the Company has separated it into liability and equity components. The Company valued the liability component based on its borrowing rate for a similar debt instrument that does not contain a conversion feature. The equity component, which is recognized as debt discount, was valued as the difference between the face value of the Convertible Notes and the fair value of the liability component. The equity component was valued at $91.8 million upon issuance of the Convertible Notes.

In connection with the Convertible Notes issuance, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $10.2 million, which were allocated on a pro rata basis to the liability component and the equity component in the amounts of $6.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

Covenants
Our Credit Agreement and the indenture governing our 5.625% Notes require us, among other obligations, to maintain specified financial ratios and to satisfy certain financial tests. In addition, our Credit Agreement and the indenture governing our 5.625% Notes restrict, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, amend debt instruments, pay dividends, create liens on assets, make investments, engage in mergers or consolidations, and otherwise restrict corporate activities. Our debt agreements also contain customary events of default, including cross-default provisions that require us to meet certain requirements under the Penn Master Lease and the Pinnacle Master Lease, each with GLPI. If we are unable to meet our financial covenants or in the event of a cross-default, it could trigger an acceleration of payment terms.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants. The Company believes that it will remain in compliance with all of its required financial covenants for at least the next twelve months following the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC.

The relocation fee for each property is payable as follows: $7.5 million upon the opening of the property and eighteen semi-annual payments of $4.8 million beginning one year after the commencement of operations. This obligation is accreted to interest expense at an effective yield of 5.0%. The amount included in interest expense related to this obligation was $0.8 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to $1.0 million and $3.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
