Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 24, 2014, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lakes Entertainment, Inc. (“Lakes”) entered into Amendment No. 1 to Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement (“Amended Intercreditor Agreement”) with Penn National Gaming, Inc. (“Penn”) and the Jamul Indian Village (“Jamul”) relating to monies Lakes had previously advanced to Jamul for the development of a gaming facility on Jamul’s trust land in San Diego County, California. The Amended Intercreditor Agreement gives Penn the right to refinance the senior debt, provided that the outstanding senior debt does not exceed $400 million and the maturity date is not extended beyond seven years after the opening of the gaming facility. If the senior debt is not repaid within such seven year period, Lakes will have the right to receive up to $1.5 million in principal payments per quarter. Jamul’s current debt of $60 million owed to Lakes will continue to be subordinate to the senior debt until such financing is paid in full, but current interest on the subordinated debt will be paid to Lakes on a quarterly basis when the Penn casino opens, so long as there is no default under the senior financing agreement. When the senior financing is paid in full, Lakes will receive repayment of its outstanding principal and interest.
Also on April 24, 2014, Lakes, Penn and Jamul entered into a Modification Agreement (“Modification Agreement”) which modifies the promissory notes previously executed by Jamul in favor of Lakes. The Modification Agreement provides that if the senior debt is not repaid within seven years after the opening of the casino, Jamul will make principal payments, towards the current $60 million of debt owed to Lakes, in an amount of up to $1.5 million per quarter based on a formula of cash availability. The Modification Agreement also provides that when the senior debt is repaid in full, Jamul will make principal payments with 80% of the casino’s excess cash based on a formula of cash availability.
A copy of the Amended Intercreditor Agreement and the Modification Agreement are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to this Form 8-K.
