2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Some of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods have been made. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

There have been no changes to our basis of presentation and significant accounting policies since the most recent filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument. 

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, settlement receivables, trade receivables, other receivables, settlement liabilities, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of our borrowings are estimated based on various inputs to determine a market price, such as: market demand and supply, size of tranche, maturity and similar instruments trading in more active markets. 

The senior secured notes were fair valued using a Level 3 input as there was no market activity or observable inputs as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. During the current period, the fair value of the senior secured notes was derived using the same rate as the term loan given that both were treated similarly. 

Reclassification of Prior Year Balances

Reclassifications were made to the prior-period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Recent Accounting Guidance

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04, which provides updated guidance on the goodwill impairment test and the method by which an entity recognizes an impairment charge. These amendments eliminate Step 2 from the current goodwill impairment process and require that an entity recognize an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, a company should also take into consideration income tax effects from tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of a reporting unit when recording an impairment loss. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance will be applied using a prospective approach. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We adopted this guidance in the current period. As no indicators of impairment were identified for our goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2017, this ASU did not impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, statutory tax withholding requirements and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance will be applied either prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified retrospective transition method, depending on the area covered in this update. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted this guidance in the current quarter on a prospective basis.  As of March 31, 2017, the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 has not impacted our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. With respect to forfeitures, the Company will continue to estimate the number of awards expected to be forfeited in accordance with our existing accounting policy. In addition, our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows present excess tax benefits as operating activities in the current period, as the prior period was not adjusted.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, which provides guidance on the measurement of inventory value. The amendments require an entity to measure in scope inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) or the retail inventory method. The amendments do not apply to inventory that is measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost. The pronouncement is effective for annual periods beginning after December

15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this guidance in the current period. This ASU did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, which clarifies the definition of a business. The amendments affect all companies and other reporting organizations that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business. The amendments are intended to help companies and other organizations evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses.   The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance will be applied using a prospective approach as of the beginning of the first period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted for acquisitions, or disposals that occur before the issuance date or effectiveness date of the amendments when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments do not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance will be applied using a retrospective approach to each period presented. Early adoption is permitted and adoption in an interim period should reflect adjustments as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, which provides updated guidance on the recognition of the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs, and this eliminates the exception for an intra-entity transfer of such assets. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effective adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted during the first interim period of the year this guidance is adopted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, which provides updated guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance will be applied using a retrospective approach. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues within this ASU, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. Early adoption is permitted including adoption in an interim period. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, which provides updated guidance on credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost basis and available-for sale debt securities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance will be applied using a modified retrospective approach for the cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective and using a prospective approach for debt securities for which any other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, which provides guidance on the accounting treatment of leases.  The ASU establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. While we are currently assessing the impact of this ASU on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we expect the primary impact to our consolidated financial position upon adoption will be the recognition, on a discounted basis, of our minimum commitments under noncancelable operating leases on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, which will result in the recording of right of use assets and lease obligations and are currently discussed in “Note 12 — Commitments and Contingencies.”

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, which creates FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and supersedes ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”. The guidance replaces industry-specific guidance and establishes a single five-step model to identify and recognize revenue. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, the guidance requires the entity to disclose further quantitative and qualitative information regarding the nature and amount of revenues arising from contracts with customers, as well as other information about the significant judgments and estimates used in recognizing revenues from contracts with customers. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 was further updated by ASU 2016-08 in March 2016, which provides clarification on the implementation of the principal versus agent considerations in ASU 2014-09.  In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, which provides clarification on the implementation of performance obligations and licensing in ASU 2014-09.  In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, which amends guidance provided in two SEC Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 Emerging Issues Task Force meeting over various topics relating to ASU 606. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, which clarified various topics in ASU 606.  In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, which clarified additional topics in ASU 606.  This guidance was originally effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. However, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which extended the effective date to interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. This guidance may be adopted retrospectively or under a modified retrospective method where the cumulative effect is recognized at the date of initial application.

We will likely adopt this guidance using the retrospective method beginning in the first quarter of 2018. We performed an initial review of the requirements of the standard and are monitoring the activity of the FASB and the transition resource group as it relates to specific interpretive guidance that may impact us. We are currently completing detailed contract reviews to determine necessary adjustments to existing accounting policies and procedures and to support an evaluation of the standard’s impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on reviews performed, we do not expect our Payments revenues to be materially impacted by the implementation of this guidance. We are still evaluating our Games revenues and equipment and systems revenues to determine the extent, if any, of changes to the timing and amount of revenue recorded in each reporting period. Additionally, the new guidance will require enhanced disclosures and updates to our revenue recognition policies to identify performance obligations to customers and will also require significant judgment in both measurement and recognition. We may identify other impacts from the implementation of this guidance as we continue our assessment. 

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

We account for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, which requires that the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date separately from goodwill, which is the excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities. We include the results of operations of an acquired business as of the acquisition date. We had no material acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

4. FUNDING AGREEMENTS

Contract Cash Solutions Agreement

Our Contract Cash Solutions Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) allows us to use funds owned by Wells Fargo to provide the currency needed for normal operating requirements for our ATMs. For the use of these funds, we pay Wells Fargo a cash usage fee on the average daily balance of funds utilized multiplied by a contractually defined cash usage rate. These cash usage fees, reflected as interest expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Loss and Comprehensive Loss, were $1.1 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. We are exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) increases.

Under this agreement, all currency supplied by Wells Fargo remains the sole property of Wells Fargo at all times until it is dispensed, at which time Wells Fargo obtains an interest in the corresponding settlement receivable which is recorded on a net basis. As these funds are not our assets, supplied cash is not reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The outstanding balances of ATM cash utilized by us from Wells Fargo were $270.8 million and $285.4 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The Contract Cash Solutions Agreement, as amended, provides us with cash in the maximum amount of $425.0 million during the term of the agreement, which expires on June 30, 2019.

We are responsible for any losses of cash in the ATMs under this agreement, and we self‑insure for this risk. We incurred no material losses related to this self‑insurance for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Site-Funded ATMs

We operate ATMs at certain customer gaming establishments where the gaming establishment provides the cash required for the ATM operational needs. We are required to reimburse the customer for the amount of cash dispensed from these Site-Funded ATMs. The Site-Funded ATM liability included within settlement liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $87.3 million and $151.0 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Prefunded Cash Access Agreements

Due to certain regulatory requirements, some international gaming establishments require prefunding of cash to cover all outstanding settlement amounts in order for us to provide cash access services to their properties. We enter into agreements with these operators for which we supply our cash access services for their properties. Under these agreements, we maintain sole discretion to either continue or cease operations as well as discretion over the amounts prefunded to the properties and may request amounts to be refunded to us, with appropriate notice to the operator, at any time. The initial prefunded amounts and subsequent amounts from the settlement of transactions are deposited into a bank account that is to be used exclusively for cash access services and we maintain the right to monitor all transaction activity in that account. The total amount of prefunded cash outstanding was approximately $9.8 million and $8.5 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

5. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

Trade and loans receivables represent short-term credit granted to customers as well as long-term loans receivable on our games, fully integrated kiosks and compliance products.  Trade and loans receivables generally do not require collateral.  The balance of trade and loans receivables consists of outstanding balances owed to us by gaming establishments and

casino patrons. Other receivables include income taxes receivables and other miscellaneous receivables. The balance of trade and other receivables consisted of the following (in thousands):

At least quarterly, we evaluate the collectability of the outstanding balances and establish a reserve for the face amount of the expected losses on our receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables includes reserves for both Games and Payments receivables. The provision for doubtful accounts is generally included within operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Loss and Comprehensive Loss. We also have a provision for doubtful accounts specifically associated with our outstanding check warranty receivables, which is included within Payments cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Loss and Comprehensive Loss. The outstanding balances of the check warranty and general reserves were $2.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2017 and $2.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2016.

6. PREPAID AND OTHER ASSETS

Prepaid and other assets include the balance of prepaid expenses, deposits, debt issuance costs on our Revolving Credit Facility (defined herein), restricted cash and other assets. The current portion of these assets is included in prepaid and other assets and the non-current portion is included in other assets, both of which are contained within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The balance of the current portion of prepaid and other assets consisted of the following (in thousands):

The balance of the non-current portion of other assets consisted of the following (in thousands):

7. INVENTORY

Our inventory primarily consists of component parts as well as work-in-progress and finished goods. The cost of inventory includes cost of materials, labor, overhead and freight. The inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and accounted for using the FIFO method.

Inventory consisted of the following (in thousands):

8. PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND LEASED ASSETS

Property, equipment and leased assets consist of the following (in thousands):

Depreciation expense related to other property, equipment and leased assets totaled approximately $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  There was no material impairment of our property, equipment and leased assets for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

9. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired plus liabilities assumed arising from business combinations. The balance of goodwill was $640.6 million and $640.5 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

In accordance with ASC 350, we test goodwill at the reporting unit level, which are identified as operating segments or one level below, for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if events and circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

We test for impairment annually on a reporting unit basis, at the beginning of our fourth fiscal quarter, or more often under certain circumstances. The annual impairment test is completed using either: a qualitative Step 0 assessment based on reviewing relevant events and circumstances; or a quantitative Step 1 assessment, which determines the fair value of the reporting unit, using an income approach that discounts future cash flows based on the estimated future results of our reporting units and a market approach that compares market multiples of comparable companies to determine whether or not any impairment exists. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we will use the Step 1 assessment to determine the impairment in accordance with the adoption of ASU No 2017-04.

No impairment was identified for our goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):

Amortization expense related to other intangible assets was approximately $17.3 million and $23.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We evaluate our other intangible assets for potential impairment in connection with our quarterly review process. There was no material impairment identified for any of our other intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

We enter into placement fee agreements to provide financing for new gaming facilities or for the expansion or improvement of existing facilities. The funding under placement fee agreements is not reimbursed. In return for the fees under these agreements, each facility dedicates a percentage of its floor space, or an agreed upon unit count, for the placement of our electronic gaming machines (“EGMs”) over the term of the agreement, generally 12 to 83 months, and we receive a fixed percentage or flat fee of those machines’ hold per day. Certain of the agreements contain EGM performance standards that could allow the respective facility to reduce a portion of our guaranteed floor space.

Placement fees and amounts advanced in excess of those to be reimbursed by the customer for real property and land improvements are allocated to intangible assets and are generally amortized over the term of the contract, which is recorded as a reduction of revenue generated from the facility. In the past we have, and in the future, we may, by mutual agreement, amend these agreements to reduce our floor space at the facilities. Any proceeds received for the reduction of floor space is first applied against the intangible asset for that particular placement fee agreement, if any, and the remaining net book value of the intangible asset is prospectively amortized on a straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful life.  We paid approximately $3.0 million and $1.0 million to extend the term of placement fee agreements with a customer for certain of its locations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

10.ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

The following table presents our accounts payable and accrued expenses (in thousands):

11. LONG-TERM DEBT

The following table summarizes our outstanding indebtedness (in thousands):

Credit Facilities

In December 2014, Everi Payments, as borrower, and Holdings entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer; Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as syndication agent; and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement consists of the $500.0 million, six-year senior secured term loan facility that matures in 2020 (the “Term Loan”) and the $50.0 million, five-year senior secured revolving credit facility that matures in 2019 (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and together with the Term Loan, the “Credit Facilities”). The fees associated with the Credit Facilities included discounts of approximately $7.5 million and debt issuance costs of approximately $13.9 million. All borrowings under the Credit Facilities are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default and compliance with representations and warranties.

We are required to repay the Term Loan in an amount equal to 0.50% per quarter of the initial aggregate principal with the final principal repayment installment on the maturity date.  Interest is due in arrears each March, June, September and December and at the maturity date. However, interest may be remitted within one to three months of such dates.

The Term Loan had an applicable weighted average interest rate of 6.28%  and 6.25% for the period ended March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The interest rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility is, at our option, the base rate or LIBOR plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The interest rate per annum applicable to the Term Loan is also, at our option, the base rate or LIBOR plus, in each case, an applicable margin. We have historically elected to pay interest based on LIBOR, and

we expect to continue to pay interest based on LIBOR. LIBOR will be reset at the beginning of each selected interest period based on the LIBOR rate then in effect; provided that, with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, if LIBOR is below zero, then such rate will be equal to zero plus the applicable margin, and, with respect to the Term Loan, if LIBOR is below 1.0%, then such rate will be equal to 1.0% 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) LIBOR (after taking account of any applicable floor) applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%. The applicable margins of 4.75% and 5.25% for the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan, respectively, are subject to adjustment based on our consolidated secured leverage ratio.

Voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility and voluntary reductions in the unused commitments are permitted in whole or in part, in minimum amounts as set forth in the Credit Agreement, with prior notice but without premium or penalty.

Subject to certain exceptions, the obligations under the Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the present and after acquired assets of each of Everi Payments, Holdings and the subsidiary guarantors, including: (a) a perfected first priority pledge of all the capital stock of Everi Payments and each domestic direct, wholly owned material restricted subsidiary held by Holdings, Everi Payments or any such subsidiary guarantor; and (b) a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of Holdings, Everi Payments, and such subsidiary guarantors (including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, investment property, certain real property, intellectual property and the proceeds of the foregoing). Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and such subsidiary guarantors, including Everi Games Holding and its material domestic subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit Holdings’ ability, and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness; sell assets or consolidate or merge with or into other companies; pay dividends or repurchase or redeem capital stock; make certain investments; issue capital stock of subsidiaries; incur liens; prepay, redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; and enter into certain types of transactions with our affiliates. The Credit Agreement also requires Holdings, together with its subsidiaries, to comply with a maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio as well as an annual excess cash flow requirement. At March 31, 2017, our consolidated secured leverage ratio was 3.66, with a maximum allowable ratio of 4.25. Our consolidated secured maximum leverage ratio will be 4.00,  3.75 and 3.50 as of December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019 and thereafter, respectively.

Events of default under the Credit Agreement include customary events such as a cross-default provision with respect to other material debt (which includes the Refinanced Secured Notes and the Unsecured Notes (each defined below)). In addition, an event of default will occur if Holdings undergoes a change of control. This is defined to include the case where Holdings ceases to own 100% of the equity interests of Everi Payments, or where any person or group acquires a percentage of the economic or voting interests of Holdings’ capital stock of 35% or more (determined on a fully diluted basis), or where a majority of the board of directors of Everi Holdings ceases to consist of persons who are directors of Holdings on the closing date of the Credit Facilities or other directors whose nomination for election to the board of directors of Holdings was recommended by a majority of the then continuing directors.

At March 31, 2017, we had approximately $463.1 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan and no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. We had $50.0 million of additional borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2017. The weighted average interest rate on the Credit Facilities was approximately 6.28% for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

We were in compliance with the terms of the Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

We expect that our cash provided by operating activities will be sufficient for our operating and debt servicing needs during the next 12 months. If not, we have sufficient borrowings available under our Credit Facilities to meet additional funding requirements. We monitor the financial strength of our lenders on an ongoing basis using publicly-available information. Based upon that information, we believe there is not a likelihood that any of our lenders might not be able to honor their commitments under the Credit Agreement.

Senior Secured Notes and Refinance of Senior Secured Notes

In December 2014, we issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Secured Notes due 2021 (the “Secured Notes”). The fees associated with the Secured Notes included debt issuance costs of approximately $13.6 million. The Secured Notes were acquired by the initial purchasers pursuant to the terms of a purchase agreement. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, during a one-year period following the closing and upon prior notice from the initial purchasers, the Company was required to use commercially reasonable efforts to aid the purchasers in the resale of the Secured Notes, including by preparing an updated offering memorandum and participating in reasonable marketing efforts including road shows, to the extent required therein. Alternatively, we had the ability to redeem the Secured Notes from the initial purchasers without penalty. On April 15, 2015, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with Everi Payments, CPPIB Credit Investments III Inc. (the “Purchaser”), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as collateral agent (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), and issued $335.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the “Refinanced Secured Notes”) to the Purchaser in a private offering. With the proceeds from the issuance of the Refinanced Secured Notes, we redeemed, in full, the Company’s then outstanding Secured Notes from the initial purchasers in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Secured Notes. In connection with the issuance of the Refinanced Secured Notes during the second quarter of 2015, we expensed $13.0 million of related debt issuance costs and fees to loss on extinguishment of debt associated with the redeemed Secured Notes that were outstanding prior to the refinance transaction. 

In connection with the issuance of the Refinanced Secured Notes and pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant”) to the Purchaser. The Warrant expires on the sixth anniversary of the date of issuance. The number of shares issuable pursuant to the Warrant and the warrant exercise price are subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, mergers and certain other events. The Warrant was valued at $2.2 million using a modified Black-Scholes model and was accounted for as a debt discount.

Interest is due quarterly in arrears each January, April, July and October.

We were in compliance with the terms of the Refinanced Secured Notes as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Senior Unsecured Notes

In December 2014, we issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.00% Unsecured Notes due 2022 (the “Unsecured Notes”). The fees associated with the Unsecured Notes included original issue discounts of approximately $3.8 million and debt issuance costs of approximately $14.0 million.

Interest is due semi-annually in arrears each January and July.

The Unsecured Notes were acquired by the initial purchasers pursuant to the terms of a purchase agreement. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, during a one-year period following the closing and upon prior notice from the initial purchasers, the Company was required to use commercially reasonable efforts to aid the purchasers in the resale of the Unsecured Notes, including by preparing an updated offering memorandum and participating in reasonable marketing efforts including road shows, to the extent required therein. The Unsecured Notes were resold by the initial purchasers to third parties in the second quarter of 2015.

In December 2015, we completed an exchange offer in which all of the unregistered Unsecured Notes were exchanged for a like amount of Unsecured Notes that had been registered under the Securities Act.

We were in compliance with the terms of the Unsecured Notes as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

12.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are involved in various investigations, claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of our business. In addition, various legal actions, claims and governmental inquiries and proceedings are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against us and our subsidiaries. Although the outcome of our legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and no assurances can be provided, based upon current information, we do not believe the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from the outcome of such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

13. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, allows our Board of Directors, without further action by stockholders, to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the designations, powers, preferences, privileges and relative participating, optional, or special rights as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Common Stock. Subject to the preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock that may be outstanding at the time, the holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available at the times and in the amounts as our Board of Directors may from time to time determine. All dividends are non-cumulative. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Everi, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after the payment of liabilities, subject to the prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Cumulative voting for the election of directors is not provided for. The common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. Each outstanding share of common stock is fully paid and non-assessable. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had 90,965,482 and 90,952,185 shares of common stock issued, respectively.

Treasury Stock. Employees may direct us to withhold vested shares of restricted stock to satisfy the minimum statutory withholding requirements applicable to their restricted stock vesting. We repurchased or withheld from restricted stock awards 2,574 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2017 at an aggregate purchase price of $7,475 and 2,588 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2016 at an aggregate purchase price of $8,933, to satisfy the minimum applicable tax withholding obligations related to the vesting of such restricted stock awards.
