Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement
On February 2, 2021, Everi Payments Inc. ("Everi Payments"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Everi Holdings Inc. (the "Company") entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to its existing Credit Agreement, dated May 9, 2017, as amended (the "Credit Agreement"), among Everi Payments, as borrower, the Company, as a guarantor, the lenders party thereto and Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent, collateral agent, swing line lender, letter of credit issuer, sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner.
Per the terms of the Amendment, the LIBOR and Base Rate floor components of the interest rate on the $735.5 million outstanding balance of the First Lien Term Loan under the Credit Agreement were reduced by 0.25% from 1.00% to 0.75% and from 2.00% to 1.75%, respectively. The LIBOR and Base Rate margins applicable to the First Lien Term Loan remain unchanged at 2.75% and 1.75%, respectively. The First Lien Term Loan under the Credit Agreement will be subject to a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the principal amount repaid for any voluntary prepayment or mandatory prepayment with proceeds of debt that has a lower effective yield than the repriced First Lien Term Loan or any amendment to the repriced First Lien Term Loan that reduces the interest rate thereon, in each case, to the extent occurring within six months of the effective date of the Amendment. The maturity of the First Lien Term Loan remains May 9, 2024, and no changes were made to the financial covenants or other debt repayment terms.
A copy of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
