Debt principal payments are estimated amounts based on maturity dates and potential borrowings under our revolving credit facilities. Interest payments are estimated based on the forward-looking LIBOR curve and include the estimated impact of the ten interest rate swap agreements (see Note 8). Actual payments may differ from these estimates.
Current Portion of Long-Term Debt
The current portion of long-term debt as of December 31, 2019 includes the principal payments on the term loans, other unsecured borrowings, and special improvement district bonds that are expected to be paid within 12 months.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facilities are each subject to the provisions of the applicable credit facility agreements, which each have a contractual maturity of greater than one year. Amounts borrowed, if any, under the revolving credit facilities are intended to satisfy short term liquidity needs and would be classified as current.
Debt Discounts or Premiums and Deferred Finance Charges
Debt discounts or premiums and deferred finance charges incurred in connection with the issuance of debt are amortized to interest expense based on the related debt agreements primarily using the effective interest method. Unamortized discounts are written off and included in our gain or loss calculations to the extent we extinguish debt prior to its original maturity date.
Fair Value
The fair value of debt has been calculated primarily based on the borrowing rates available as of December 31, 2019 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.
CRC Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility
On December 22, 2017, CRC entered into a new $5.7 billion senior secured credit facility (the “CRC Senior Secured Credit Facilities”), including a $1.0 billion five-year revolving credit facility (the “CRC Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $4.7 billion seven-year first lien term loan (the “CRC Term Loan”). The CRC Senior Secured Credit Facilities were funded and closed pursuant to the Credit Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2017 (the “CRC Credit Agreement”).
The CRC Term Loan matures in 2024. The CRC Revolving Credit Facility matures in 2022 and includes a letter of credit sub-facility. The CRC Term Loan requires scheduled quarterly principal payments in amounts equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount, with the balance due at maturity. The CRC Credit Agreement also includes customary voluntary and mandatory prepayment provisions, subject to certain exceptions. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, approximately $25 million and $36 million was committed to outstanding letters of credit, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding under the CRC Revolving Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the CRC Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to either (a) LIBOR adjusted for certain additional costs, subject to a floor of 0% or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate as determined by Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent under the CRC Credit Agreement and (iii) the one-month adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.00%, in each case plus an applicable margin. Such applicable margin shall be (a) with respect to the CRC Term Loan, 2.75% per annum in the case of any LIBOR loan or 1.75% per annum in the case of any base rate loan and (b) in the case of the CRC Revolving Credit Facility, 2.25% per annum in the case of any LIBOR loan and 1.25% per annum in the case of any base rate loan, subject in the case of the CRC Revolving Credit Facility to two 0.125% step-downs based on CRC’s senior secured leverage ratio (“SSLR”), the ratio of first lien senior secured net debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
In addition, CRC is required to pay a commitment fee in respect of any commitments under the CRC Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of 0.50% of the principal amount of the commitments, subject to step-downs to 0.375% and 0.25% based upon CRC’s SSLR. CRC is also required to pay customary agency fees as well as letter of credit participation fees computed at a rate per annum equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR borrowings on the dollar equivalent of the daily stated amount of outstanding letters of credit, plus such letter of credit issuer’s customary documentary and processing fees and charges and a fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.125% of the daily stated amount of such letter of credit.
CRC Notes
On October 16, 2017, CRC Escrow Issuer LLC (“Escrow Issuer”) and CRC Finco. Inc., then both wholly owned subsidiaries of CEC, issued $1.7 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due 2025 (the “CRC Notes”). On December 22, 2017, Escrow Issuer merged with and into CRC, with CRC as the surviving entity and issuer of the CRC Notes.
CEOC LLC Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility
As part of the acquisition of OpCo on the Effective Date, we assumed debt that was issued in connection with CEOC’s emergence from bankruptcy including a $1.235 billion term loan (the “CEOC LLC Term Loan”) pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated as of October 6, 2017, and amended on April 16, 2018, (the “CEOC LLC Credit Agreement”). In addition, OpCo had a $200 million revolving credit facility under the CEOC LLC Credit Agreement (the “CEOC LLC Revolving Credit Facility”). In December 2017, we increased the CEOC LLC Term Loan by $265 million to $1.5 billion.
The CEOC LLC Term Loan matures in 2024 and the CEOC LLC Revolving Credit Facility matures in 2022 and includes a letter of credit sub-facility. The CEOC LLC Term Loan requires scheduled quarterly principal payments in amounts equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount, with the balance due at maturity. The CEOC LLC Credit Agreement also includes customary voluntary and mandatory prepayment provisions, subject to certain exceptions. As of December 31, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding under the CEOC LLC Revolving Credit Facility and approximately $39 million was committed to outstanding letters of credit. As of December 31, 2018, approximately $39 million was committed to outstanding letters of credit.
Borrowings under the CEOC LLC Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to either (a) LIBOR adjusted for certain additional costs, subject to a floor of 0% or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate as determined by Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent under the CEOC LLC Credit Agreement and (iii) the one-month adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.00%, in each case plus an applicable margin.
The applicable margins under the CEOC LLC Credit Agreement are (a) with respect to the CEOC LLC Term Loan, 2.00% per annum in the case of any LIBOR loan or 1.00% per annum in the case of any base rate loan and (b) in the case of the CEOC LLC Revolving Credit Facility, 2.00% per annum in the case of any LIBOR loan and 1.00% per annum in the case of any base rate loan, subject in the case of the CEOC LLC Revolving Credit Facility to two 0.125% step-downs based on CEOC LLC’s SSLR.
In addition, CEOC LLC is required to pay a commitment fee in respect of any commitments under the CEOC LLC Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of 0.50% of the principal amount of the commitments, subject to step-downs to 0.375% and 0.25% based upon CEOC LLC’s SSLR. CEOC LLC is also required to pay customary agency fees as well as letter of credit participation fees computed at a rate per annum equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR borrowings on the dollar equivalent of the daily stated amount of outstanding letters of credit, plus such letter of credit issuer’s customary documentary and processing fees and charges and a fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.125% of the daily stated amount of such letter of credit.
CEC Convertible Notes
On the Effective Date, CEC issued $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.00% convertible senior notes maturing in 2024 to CEOC’s creditors pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The CEC Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to the indenture, dated as of October 6, 2017.
The CEC Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of holders into a number of shares of CEC common stock that is equal to approximately 0.139 shares of CEC common stock per $1.00 principal amount of CEC Convertible Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of $7.19 per share. If all the shares were issued on the Effective Date, they would have represented approximately 17.9% of the shares of CEC common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis. The holders of the CEC Convertible Notes can convert them at any time after issuance. CEC can convert the CEC Convertible Notes beginning in October 2020 if the last reported sale price of CEC common stock equals or exceeds 140% of the conversion price for the CEC Convertible Notes in effect on each of at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period. CEC does not have any other redemption rights under the CEC Convertible Notes.
On December 2, 2019, we paid $28 million to the holders of the CEC Convertible Notes, whose consents were validly delivered and not validly revoked, to modify the CEC Convertible Notes (the “Consent”). The consent fee is recognized as an additional discount to our debt and will be amortized over the remaining life of the CEC Convertible Notes. The Consent amended the indenture governing the CEC Convertible Notes to expressly permit the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including the related financing transactions) and, subject to the consummation of the Merger, delete the negative covenants contained in Sections 4.02 (Reports and Other Information), 4.03 (Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock), 4.04 (Limitation on Restricted Payments), 4.05 (Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries) 4.06 (Asset Sales), 4.07 (Transactions with Affiliates), 4.09 (Compliance Certificate), 4.10 (Further Instruments and Acts), 4.12 (Liens), 4.13 (Business Activities), 4.15 (Payments for Consents) and 5.01 (When Issuer may Merge or Transfer Assets) of the indenture for the purpose of providing additional operating flexibility after the consummation of the Merger.
As of December 31, 2019, an immaterial amount of the CEC Convertible Notes was converted into shares of CEC common stock. An aggregate of 156 million shares of CEC common stock, of which 151 million shares are net of amounts held by CEC, are issuable upon conversion of the CEC Convertible Notes. As of December 31, 2019, the remaining life of the CEC Convertible Notes is 4.75 years.
The Company has determined that the CEC Convertible Notes contain derivative features that require bifurcation. We separately account for the liability component and equity conversion option of the CEC Convertible Notes. The portion of the overall fair value allocated to the liability was calculated by using a market-based approach without the conversion features included. The difference between the overall instrument value and the value of the liability component was assumed to be the value of the equity component. See Note 8 for more information on the CEC Convertible Notes’ fair value measurements.

Terms of Outstanding Debt
The Company may elect, at its option, to prepay any borrowings outstanding under the CEOC LLC Credit Agreement without premium or penalty (except with respect to any break funding payments which may be payable pursuant to the terms of the CEOC LLC Credit Agreement). On September 13, 2019, we made a voluntary payment of $250 million toward the outstanding principal balance of our CEOC LLC Term Loan.
Restrictive Covenants
The CRC Credit Agreement, CEOC LLC Credit Agreement, as amended, and the indentures related to the CRC Notes contain covenants which are standard and customary for these types of agreements. These include negative covenants, which, subject to certain exceptions and baskets, limit the ability of CRC and certain of its subsidiaries, and CEOC LLC and certain of its subsidiaries, respectively, to (among other items) incur additional indebtedness, make investments, make restricted payments, including dividends, grant liens, sell assets and make acquisitions. The indenture related to the CEC Convertible Notes contains covenants including negative covenants, which, subject to certain exceptions, limit the Company’s ability to (among other items) incur additional indebtedness, make investments, make restricted payments, including dividends, grant liens, sell assets, and make acquisitions. The Consent amended the indenture related to the CEC Convertible Notes to, subject to the consummation of the Merger, delete certain of such negative covenants from the indenture as described above.
The CRC Revolving Credit Facility and CEOC LLC Revolving Credit Facility include maximum first-priority net SSLR financial covenants of 6.35:1 and 3.50:1, respectively, which are applicable solely to the extent that certain testing conditions are satisfied.
Guarantees
The borrowings under the CRC Credit Agreement and CEOC LLC Credit Agreement, as amended, are guaranteed by the material, domestic, wholly owned subsidiaries of CRC and CEOC LLC, respectively, (subject to exceptions) and substantially all of the applicable existing and future property and assets of CRC or CEOC LLC, respectively, and their respective subsidiary guarantors serve as collateral for the respective borrowings.
The CRC Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each wholly owned, domestic subsidiary of CRC that is a subsidiary guarantor with respect to the CRC Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
Restricted Net Assets
Because of the restrictions in our borrowings and other arrangements, the amount of net assets at consolidated subsidiaries not available to be remitted to CEC via dividend, loan or transfer was approximately $2.1 billion and $3.2 billion as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
