Goldman Credit Agreement

On April 1, 2022, the Company entered into the Goldman Credit Agreement by and among the Company, as borrower, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent and collateral agent, Goldman Sachs Bank USA and BOFA Securities, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and the Lenders and L/C Lenders party thereto. The Goldman Credit Agreement replaced the Macquarie Credit Agreement discussed below. The Goldman Credit Agreement provides for a $350.0 million Goldman Term Loan and a $30.0 million Revolving Facility. As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the Goldman Term Loan was $336.9 million and the Company had not borrowed on its $30.0 million Revolving Facility. The Company used the Goldman Term Loan to fund the Nugget Acquisition (including the Acquisition Escrow), for the repayment of approximately $166.2 million outstanding under the Macquarie Credit Agreement and for related fees and expenses. The Company borrowed $30.0 million from the Revolving Facility on July 20, 2023 to fund the Rocky Gap Acquisition, and repaid the full amount of this borrowing on September 21, 2023.

The Goldman Term Loan matures on April 1, 2029, and the Revolving Facility matures on April 1, 2027. The Revolving Facility includes up to $10.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Goldman Term Loan requires scheduled quarterly payments of $875,000 equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Goldman Term Loan, with the balance due at maturity. The Company repurchased approximately $3.5 million principal amount of the Goldman Term Loan for 97% of its value in February 2024.

Borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin (each loan, being a “SOFR Loan”), or (b) the ABR (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin (each loan, being an “ABR Loan”). The applicable margin for the Goldman Term Loan is 6.00% per annum with respect to SOFR Loans and 5.00% per annum with respect to ABR Loans. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the weighted average interest rates under the Goldman Term Loan were 11.45% and 11.44%, respectively. The applicable margin for loans under the Revolving Facility (“Revolving Loans”) is (1) so long as the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement) of the Company is greater than 2.75 to 1.00, the applicable margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans will be 5.25% per annum, and for Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans will be 4.25% per annum; (2) so long as the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of the Company is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00 but greater than 2.25 to 1.00, the applicable margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans will be 5.00% per annum, and for Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans will be 4.00% per annum; and (3) so long as the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of the Company is less than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00, the applicable margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans will be 4.75% per annum, and for Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans will be 3.75% per annum.

In addition, on a quarterly basis, the Company is required to pay each lender under the Revolving Facility a commitment fee in respect of any unused commitments under the Revolving Facility at a per annum rate of 0.50% of the principal amount of unused commitments of such lender, subject to a stepdown to 0.375% based upon the Company’s Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. The Company is also required to pay letter of credit fees equal to the applicable margin then in effect for SOFR Loans that are Revolving Loans multiplied by the average daily maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under all 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 face amount of such letter of credit. The Company is also required to pay customary agency fees. Fees related to the Goldman Credit Agreement of $0.1 million were recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of (loss) earnings for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

The Goldman Credit Agreement requires the Company to prepay the Goldman Term Loan, subject to certain exceptions, with:

100% of the net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales or certain casualty events, subject to certain exceptions; and

50% of the Company’s annual Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement) (which percentage will be reduced to 25% if the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.25 to 1.00 but less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00, and to 0% if the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00).

The Goldman Credit Agreement provides that the Goldman Term Loan may be prepaid without a premium or penalties.

The borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the material subsidiaries of the Company, subject to certain exceptions (including the exclusion of the Company’s non-domestic subsidiaries), and are secured by a pledge (and, with respect to real property, mortgage) of substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of the Company and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.

The Goldman Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default. All future borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default and the accuracy of representations and warranties. If the Company has aggregate outstanding revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit greater than $10.5 million as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, it is required to maintain a Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of 5.50 to 1.00 or less for such fiscal quarter. As of December 31, 2024, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio exceeded 5.50 to 1.00, but the Company had no outstanding revolving loans, swingline loans or letters of credit under the Goldman Credit Agreement.

Deferred financing costs consist of the Company’s costs related to financings. The Company recognized $18.9 million in deferred financing costs related to the Goldman Credit Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2022. Amortization expenses relating to the Goldman Credit Agreement were $2.7 million, $2.7 million, and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. These costs are included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of (loss) earnings for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Credit Agreement – Macquarie Capital

In December 2019, the Company entered into a $180.0 million credit agreement (the “Macquarie Credit Agreement”) with Macquarie Capital Funding LLC, as swingline lender, administrative agent and collateral agent, Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, and the Lenders and L/C Lenders party thereto. The Macquarie Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s credit agreement with the Bank of Montreal (the “BMO Credit Agreement”). The Macquarie Credit Agreement provided for a $170.0 million term loan (the “Macquarie Term Loan”) and a $10.0 million Revolving Facility (the “Macquarie Revolving Facility”). The Company used proceeds from the Macquarie Term Loan to fund the 2019 Acquisition, for the repayment of approximately $52.0 million outstanding under the BMO Credit Agreement and for general working capital and corporate purposes. In connection with the Goldman Credit Agreement, the Macquarie Term Loan was repaid on April 1, 2022 and the Macquarie Credit Agreement was terminated.

Commitment fees related to the Macquarie Revolving Facility of less than $0.1 million were recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of (loss) earnings for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company amortized deferred financing costs of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. These costs were recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of (loss) earnings for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company wrote off approximately $7.3 million of deferred financing costs to interest expense in the second quarter of 2022 in connection with the prepayment of the Macquarie Term Loan.

CPL was not in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the mBank credit agreement as of December 31, 2024. The violation of the covenant allows the lender to increase the interest rate by 1.60% but will not result in an acceleration of the loan.

Under Polish gaming law, CPL is required to maintain PLN 4.8 million in the form of deposits or bank guarantees for payment of casino jackpots and gaming tax obligations, mBank issued guarantees to CPL for this purpose totaling PLN 4.8 million ($1.2 million based on the exchange rate in effect as of December 31, 2024).
