Credit Agreement - Bank of Montreal

In May 2012, the Company, through its Canadian subsidiaries, entered into the CAD 28.0 million credit agreement with BMO.  In August 2014, the Company, through its Canadian subsidiaries, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with BMO that increased the Company’s borrowing capacity to CAD 39.1 million. In September 2016, the Company, through its Canadian subsidiaries, entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement with BMO that increased the borrowing capacity to CAD 69.2 million. On August 24, 2018, the Company, through its Canadian subsidiaries, entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement with BMO (the “BMO Credit Agreement”) to provide additional financing for the Century Mile project and a leasing credit facility. Under the BMO Credit Agreement, the Company’s borrowing capacity was increased to CAD 102.2 million with an interest rate of BMO’s floating rate plus a margin, except for the rates for Credit Facility H, which will be determined upon execution of a lease agreement. As discussed further below, the Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate paid related to a portion of the outstanding balance on the BMO Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had borrowed CAD 63.9 million, of which the outstanding balance was CAD 43.1 million ($33.3 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2018) and the Company had approximately CAD 39.8 million ($30.8 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2018) available under the BMO Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company is using CAD 3.0 million ($2.3 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2018) from Credit Facility E for the interest rate swap agreements discussed below.



The BMO Credit Agreement consists of the following credit facilities: 



1.

Credit Facility A is a CAD 1.1 million revolving credit facility with a term of five years that expires in August 2019. Credit Facility A may be used for general corporate purposes, including for the payment of costs related to the BMO Credit Agreement, ongoing working capital requirements and operating regulatory requirements. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had CAD 1.1 million ($0.8 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2018) available for borrowing under Credit Facility A.



2.

Credit Facility B is an approximately CAD 24.1 million committed, non-revolving, reducing standby facility with a term of five years that expires in August 2019. The Company used borrowings under Credit Facility B primarily to repay the Company’s mortgage loan related to CRA, pay for the additional 33.3% investment in CPL, pay for development costs related to CDR and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Once the principal amount of an advance has been repaid, it cannot be re-borrowed. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had no additional available borrowings under Credit Facility B.



3.

Credit Facility C is a CAD 11.0 million revolving credit facility with a term of five years that expires in August 2019. Credit Facility C may be used as additional financing for the development of CDR. The Company may re-borrow the principal amount within the limits described in the BMO Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had CAD 5.7 million ($4.4 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2018) available for borrowing under Credit Facility C.

4.

Credit Facility D is an approximately CAD 30.0 million committed, reducing term credit facility with a term of five years that expires in September 2021. The Company used the entire amount of the facility to pay for the Company’s acquisition of CSA in September 2016. Once the principal amount of an advance has been repaid, it cannot be re-borrowed. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had no additional available borrowings under Credit Facility D.



5.

Credit Facility E is a CAD 3.0 million treasury risk management facility. The Company may use this facility to hedge interest rate risk or currency exchange rate risk. Credit Facility E has a term of five years mirroring the interest rate swap agreements discussed below.  The Company is currently utilizing Credit Facility E to hedge interest rate risk as discussed below.



6.

Credit Facility F is a CAD 33.0 million demand, non-revolving, construction credit facility for use for the construction and development of the Century Mile project. Upon the maturity of Credit Facility F on the facility termination date (which is the earliest of (i) the date on which demand for the payment is made by BMO; (ii) August 24, 2019; (iii) the Project Construction Completion Date, as defined in the BMO Credit Agreement; or (iv) the occurrence of event of default), the principal balance will be converted to Credit Facility G. Once funds are advanced from Credit Facility F, they cannot be re-borrowed. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had CAD 33.0 million ($25.5 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2018) available for borrowing under Credit Facility F.



7.

Credit Facility G is a committed, non-revolving, term credit facility that the Company will utilize at the maturity of Credit Facility F.  Credit Facility G has a term of five years from the date of conversion of Credit Facility F. The Company cannot re-borrow funds that have been repaid under Credit Facility G.



8.

Credit Facility H is a CAD 2.0 million equipment leasing credit facility for use for the Century Mile project pursuant to the Interim Funding Agreement and Master Lease Agreement described in the BMO Credit Agreement. The Company may re-borrow the principal amount within the limits described in the BMO Credit Agreement pursuant to the Interim Funding Agreement and Master Lease Agreement. Maturity dates will be set once the facility is utilized. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had CAD 2.0 million ($1.5 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2018) available for borrowing under Credit Facility H.



Any funds not drawn down under specified facilities in the BMO Credit Agreement are subject to standby fees ranging from 0.50% to 0.75% payable quarterly in arrears. Standby fees of less than CAD 0.1 million (less than $0.1 million based on the exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2018 and 2017) were recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The shares of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries that own CRA, CAL, CSA and Century Mile and the Company's 75% interest in CDR are pledged as collateral for the BMO Credit Agreement. The BMO Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants applicable to the Canadian subsidiaries, including covenants restricting their incurrence of additional debt, a debt to EBITDA ratio less than 4:1, a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than 1:1, maintenance of a  CAD 50.0 million equity balance and a capital expenditure limit of CAD 4.0 million for 2018. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants of the BMO Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2018.  



The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to partially hedge the risk of future increases in the variable rate debt under the BMO Credit Agreement. The interest rate swap agreements are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. As a result, changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps are recognized in interest expense on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of earnings. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had the following interest rate swap agreements set at a Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”):



·

Notional amount of CAD 6.8 million ($5.3 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2018) with a rate of 3.92% expiring in August 2019;

·

Notional amount of CAD 6.8 million ($5.3 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2018) with a rate of 3.89% expiring in August 2019; and

·

Notional amount of CAD 12.0 million ($9.3 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2018) with a rate of 4.08% expiring in December 2021.  



Deferred financing costs consist of the Company’s costs related to the financing of the BMO Credit Agreement. Amortization expenses relating to deferred financing charges were $0.1 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. These costs are included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.

Century Downs Racetrack and Casino

CDR’s land lease is a financing obligation of the Company. Prior to the Company’s acquisition of its ownership interest in CDR, CDR sold a portion of the land on which the REC project is located and then entered into an agreement to lease back a portion of the land sold. The Company accounts for the lease using the financing method by accounting for the land subject to lease as an asset and the lease payments as interest on the financing obligation. Under the land lease, CDR has four options to purchase the land. The first option date is July 1, 2023. Due to the nature of the CDR land lease financing obligation, there are no principal payments due until the Company exercises its option to purchase the land. Lease payments are applied to interest only, and any change in the outstanding balance of the financing obligation relates to foreign currency translation. As of September 30, 2018, the outstanding balance on the financing obligation was CAD 19.5 million ($15.0 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2018).
