Fortress Credit Agreement. On November 15, 2021, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan agreement with Fortress Credit Corp. (“Fortress Credit Agreement”) in the amount of $60,000,000. The proceeds of the loan were used to (i) pay $39,507,716 to Triangulum as full payment of the settlement amount due under the previously filed settlement agreement between Galaxy Gaming and Triangulum, as set forth above; (ii) repay $11,118,955 due and owing to NSB under the MSPLP and under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 13, 2021, made between Galaxy Gaming and Zions Bancorporation, N.A. dba Nevada State Bank, a Nevada state banking corporation, and (iii) $4,079,800 was used to pay fees and expenses. The remaining $5,293,529 was added to the Company’s cash on hand and used for corporate and operating purposes.

The Fortress Credit Agreement bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") (or a successor rate, determined in accordance with the Fortress Credit Agreement) plus 7.75%, subject to a reduction to 7.50% upon the achievement of a net leverage target or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate as determined by reference to The Wall Street Journal’s “Prime Rate” and (iii) the one-month adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.00%, plus 6.75%, subject to a reduction to 6.50% upon the achievement of a net leverage target. The Fortress Credit Agreement has a final maturity of November 13, 2026. The obligations under the Fortress Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Fortress Credit agreement requires, among other things, principal payments of $150,000 per quarter and includes an annual sweep of 50% of excess cash flow commencing in 2023 based on results for the prior fiscal year. The Fortress Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative financial covenants (as defined in the Fortress Credit Agreement) and other restrictions customary for borrowings of this nature. The Company was required to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio of no more than 5.00x for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Fortress Credit Agreement. The Fortress Credit Agreement has no prepayment penalty after November 15, 2023.

In connection with entering into the Fortress Credit Agreement, the Company also issued warrants to purchase a total of up to 778,320 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain affiliates of Fortress at a price per share of $0.01 (the “Warrants”). The Warrants are exercisable at any time, subject to certain restrictions.

In response to ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) and effective May 30, 2023, the Benchmark Replacement replaced LIBOR under the Fortress Credit Agreement. The Benchmark Replacement is (a) the sum of: (i) Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") and (ii) 0.11448% for an Available Tenor of one-month's duration, 0.26161% for an Available Tenor of three-months duration, and 0.42826% for an Available Tenor of six months duration, or (b) the sum of: (i) Daily Simple SOFR and (ii) the spread adjustment selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of the tenor of USD LIBOR with a SOFR-based rate having approximately the same length as the interest payment period.
