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 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. The full amount of the revolving credit facility was drawn on
March 19, 2020 
as a precautionary measure in order to increase the Company’s cash position and facilitate financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-
19
outbreak. The proceeds from the borrowings under the revolving credit facility are currently being held on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The term loans will mature on
February 15, 2024,
and the revolving credit facility will mature on
June 6, 2022.
The term loans require scheduled quarterly payments in amounts equal to 
0.25%
 of the original aggregate principal amount of the term loans, with the balance due at maturity.  Borrowings under the term loans and revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Borrower’s option, either LIBOR or the base rate, subject to an interest rate floor plus an applicable margin rate. In addition, on a quarterly basis, the Borrower is required to pay each lender under the revolving credit facility a commitment fee in respect of any unused commitments thereunder at a rate of 
0.50%
 per annum.
 
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
$513.0
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
$30.0
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 credit agreement.
 
On
May 1, 2020,
the Borrower entered into Amendment
No.
4
to the First Lien Credit Agreement that provided for covenant relief (as described in Note
1
) as well as
$95.0
million in incremental term loans of which the net proceeds received by the Company were
$83.5
million after original issue discount and related fees. The incremental term loans are subject to an interest rate of LIBOR plus
13%
and the agreement also provides that any refinancing of the term loans through the issuance of certain debt or any repricing amendment resulting in a lower yield occurring at any time during the
first
two
years after
May 1, 2020
will be accompanied by a Make-Whole Premium as defined in the agreement that includes a premium or fee as well as the required payment of any unpaid interest that would have been paid through
May 1, 2022.
For
six
months following this
two
year period, a prepayment of the loans will be accompanied by a 
1.00%
 payment premium or fee. Other than described above, the incremental term loans continue to have the same terms as provided under the Existing Credit Agreement.
 
As of
March 31, 2020
, we were in compliance with the required covenants of our debt instruments.  See Note
1
“Liquidity and Financing” for a description of a change to our financial covenants for future periods.
 
Finance Leases
 
The Company has entered into leases for vehicles and equipment that are accounted for as finance leases.
