On February 23, 2018, Penn National Gaming, Inc. (“Penn” or the “Company”) entered into that certain First Amendment (the “First Amendment”), among Penn, certain subsidiaries of Penn party thereto as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), each consenting lender and Bank of America, N.A., as letter of credit lender, swingline lender, administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Administrative Agent”), which amended the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 19, 2017, 在賓夕法尼亞州，擔保人、貸款人和行政代理人。

 

The First Amendment provides for amendments (the “Closing Amendments”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that take effect on the date of the consummation of the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by Penn of all issued and outstanding equity interests in Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (“Pinnacle”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 17, 2017 among Penn, a wholly owned subsidiary of Penn and Pinnacle (the “Acquisition Agreement”).如果購置未完成，且購置協議根據其條款終止，則第一修正案規定，在終止之日或之後生效的一組較有限的修正，在此稱為終止修正。

 

The Closing Amendments, among other things, extend the maturity date of the revolving credit facility and the term loan A credit facility, increase Penn’s secured debt capacity, permit up to $100 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility on limited conditionality in connection with the Acquisition, add flexibility to certain covenants and modify the maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio covenant and maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio covenant.

 

除其他事項外，終止協議的修訂為某些公約增加了靈活性。

 

In connection with the First Amendment, Penn entered into the Second Amended and Restated Commitment Letter (the “Second Amended and Restated Commitment Letter”), dated as of February 23, 2018, between Bank of America, N.A., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Fifth Third Bank, U.S. Bank National Association, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Citizens Bank, N.A., SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., SunTrust Bank, TD Securities (USA) LLC, The Toronto-Dominion Bank, New York Branch, TD Bank, N.A. and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (collectively, the ‘‘Commitment Parties’’) and Penn.  Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Commitment Letter, the Commitment Parties have provided commitments for a $430,174,375 senior secured term loan A facility, a $1,169,825,625 senior secured term loan B facility and a $380,000,000 unsecured bridge facility in connection with the Acquisition.

前瞻性陳述

 

這種通信可能包含某些前瞻性陳述，包括某些計劃、期望、目標、預測和關於擬議交易的好處的陳述、Penn公司和Pinnacle公司的計劃、目標、期望和意圖、交易完成的預期時間以及其他非歷史事實的陳述。這樣的陳述會受到許多假設、風險和不確定性的影響。不描述歷史或當前事實的陳述，包括關於信仰和期望的陳述，都是前瞻性的陳述。Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimate,” “plan,” “target,” “goal,” or similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “would,” “could,” or similar variations.前瞻性聲明的目的是要遵守“1933證券法”第27A條、1934“證券交易法”第21E條和1995“私人證券訴訟改革法”提供的安全港。

 

雖然無法保證任何風險和不確定因素或風險因素的清單都是完整的，但以下是某些可能導致實際結果與前瞻性陳述中所載或隱含的結果大不相同的因素，包括：賓大收購頂峯的相關風險以及將收購的企業和資產的整合；擬議的交易在何時不結束的可能性。expected or at all because required regulatory, shareholder or other approvals are not received or other conditions to the closing are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all; the risk that the financing required to fund the transaction is not obtained on the terms anticipated or at all; the possibility that the Boyd Gaming Corporation and/or GLPI deals do not close in a timely fashion or at all; 業務或僱員關係的潛在不良反應或變化，包括因宣佈或完成交易而產生的不良反應或變化；對交易提出質疑的潛在訴訟；預期或根本沒有實現交易預期效益的可能性，包括這兩家公司的合併所產生的影響或產生的問題； anticipated divestitures are not completed in the anticipated timeframe or at all; the possibility that additional divestitures may be required; the possibility that the transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; litigation relating to the transaction; risks associated with increased leverage from the transaction; and other factors discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Penn’s and Pinnacle’s respective most recent Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC.  Other unknown or unpredictable factors may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by the forward-looking statements.這些因素大多難以預測，而且一般都超出賓州和頂峯的控制範圍，除非法律要求，否則佩恩和匹克都沒有義務公開發布對任何前瞻性聲明的任何修訂，報告事件或報告意外事件的發生。
