First Lien Credit Facilities
 
On
June 6, 2017 (
the “Closing Date”), AP Gaming I, LLC (the “Borrower”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a
first
lien credit agreement (“the First Lien Credit Agreement”), providing for
$450.0
million in term loans and a
$30.0
million revolving credit facility (the “First Lien Credit Facilities”). The proceeds of the term loans were used primarily to repay the Company's then existing term loans, other indebtedness, to pay for the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing and otherwise for general corporate purposes.
 
On
December 6, 2017,
the Borrower entered into incremental facilities for
$65.0
million in term loans (the
“December
Incremental Term Loans”).  The net proceeds of the
December
Incremental Term Loans were used to finance the acquisition of electronic gaming machines and related assets operated by Rocket Gaming Systems (“Rocket”) and to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith and for general corporate purposes. 
 
An additional
$1.0
million in loan costs were incurred related to the issuance of the
December
Incremental Term Loans. Given the composition of the lender group, the transaction was accounted for as a debt modification and, as such,
$0.9
million in
third
-party costs were expensed and included in the loss on extinguishment and modification of debt. The remaining amount was capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the agreement.
 
On
February 8, 2018,
the Borrower completed the repricing of its existing
$513
million term loans under its First Lien Credit Agreement (the “Term Loans”). The Term Loans were repriced from
550
basis points to
425
basis points over LIBOR. The LIBOR floor remained at
100
basis points.
 
On
February 8, 2018,
in connection with the repricing of the Term Loans,
third
-party costs of
$1.2
million were expensed and included in the loss and modification of debt. Existing debt issuance costs of
$0.4
million were written-off and also included in the loss on extinguishment and modification of debt.
 
On
October 5, 2018,
the Borrower entered into an Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement
No.
2
(the “Incremental Agreement
No.
2”
) with certain of the Borrower’s subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto from time to time and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Agreement
No.
2
amended and restated that certain First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of
June 6, 2017,
as amended on
December 6, 2017
and as amended and restated on
February 8, 2018 (
the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto, the Administrative Agent and other parties named therein (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), to (a) reduce the applicable interest rate margin for the Term B Loans (as repriced, the “Repriced Term B Loans”) under the Credit Agreement by
0.75%
(which shall increase by an additional
0.25%
if at any time the Borrower receives a corporate credit rating of at least
B1
from Moody’s, regardless of any future rating) and (b) provide for the incurrence by the Borrower of incremental term loans in an aggregate principal amount of
$30
million (the “Incremental Term Loans” and together with the Repriced Term B Loans, the “Term B Loans”).
 
On
October 5, 2018,
in connection with the repricing of the Term Loans,
third
-party costs of
$1.5
million were expensed and included in the loss on extinguishment and modification of debt.
 
On
August 30, 2019,
the Borrower entered into Amendment
No.
3
(the "Repricing Amendment") to the credit agreement. The Repricing Amendment reduced the interest rate margin on the revolving credit facility to the same interest rate margin as the term loans issued under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
 
As of
December 
31,
2019,
we were in compliance with the required covenants of our debt instruments.
