LONG-TERM DEBT AND LIABILITIES |
NOTE 9. LONG-TERM DEBT AND LIABILITIES Long-term debt and liabilities consisted of the following at December 31, 2022 and 2021:
For most of 2021, our long-term liabilities consisted of term and revolving notes owed to Nevada State Bank, borrowings under the Main Street Priority Loan Program, and redemption consideration owed to Triangulum Partners LLC. All of those liabilities were paid in full from the proceeds of the Fortress Credit Agreement on November 15, 2021.
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 $60.0 million. The proceeds of the loan were used to (i) pay approximately $39.5 million 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 approximately $11.1 million 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) approximately $4.1 million was used to pay fees and expenses. The remaining approximately $5.3 million 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) 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 April 2023 based on results for fiscal 2022. 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 8.00x for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The Company was in compliance with its Total Net Leverage Ratio as of December 31, 2022. Also, The Fortress Credit Agreement requires that the Company not allow balances in bank accounts that are not covered by an account control agreement to exceed $1,000,000 at any month-end. The bank accounts held by PGP in the Isle of Man are not covered by account control agreements and the balances in those accounts exceeded $1,000,000 at the end of November and December 2021 and January and February 2022. In March 2022, the balances in those accounts were reduced to less than $1,000,000. The Company informed Fortress of the covenant breach, and a Consent and Waiver Agreement (the "Consent and Waiver Agreement”) was executed among the Company, Fortress, as Agent (the "Agent”), and the Lenders party to the Fortress Credit Agreement on March 16, 2022. As of March 31, 2022 and through December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Fortress Credit Agreement, and maintained bank account balances within the $1,000,000 threshold.
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. As of December 31, 2022, future maturities of our long-term obligations are as follows:
