Total debt attributed to the Braves Group decreased $40 million during the fourth quarter due to the repayment under the Braves team revolver, partially offset by increased borrowing to fund the mixed-use development. On January 29, 2021, the Braves amended one of the debt agreements of the mixed-use loans, waiving the debt yield covenant until the quarter ending June 30, 2021. The second phase of the Battery Atlanta mixed-use development is currently on-time and on-budget. It is expected to cost approximately $200 million, of which the Braves and affiliated entities have already funded approximately $55 million in equity and $85 million in debt, with $60 million incremental debt funding remaining.
