Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
Everi Holdings Inc. ("Everi") is party to a credit agreement dated as of May 9, 2017 (the "Credit Agreement"), which governs a $35.0 million revolving credit facility maturing as of May 9, 2024 (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). A copy of the Credit Agreement was filed as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 9, 2017. The material terms of the Revolving Credit Facility are described under the heading "Credit Facilities" in "Note 12 Long-Term Debt" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2020, which descriptions are incorporated by reference herein.
As of December 31, 2019, there were no borrowings or commitments outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
On March 17, 2020, the Company completed the full draw down of its $35.0 million available capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility as a precautionary measure in order to increase its cash position, improve its liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global markets. In accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, the proceeds from this borrowing may in the future be used for working capital, general corporate purposes or other uses permitted by the Revolving Credit Facility.
Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, the interest rate applicable to loans under the Revolving Credit Facility is, at Everi's option, the base rate or the Eurodollar Rate (defined to be the London Interbank Offered Rate or a comparable or successor rate) (the "Eurodollar Rate") plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin for any borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is 4.50% in respect of Eurodollar Rate loans and 3.50% in respect of base rate loans. The Eurodollar Rate is reset at the beginning of each selected interest period based on the Eurodollar Rate then in effect; provided that, if the Eurodollar Rate is below zero, then such rate will be equal to zero plus the applicable margin. The base rate is a fluctuating interest rate equal to the highest of: (a) the prime lending rate announced by the administrative agent; (b) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%; and (c) the Eurodollar Rate (after taking account of any applicable floor) applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%.
