| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On February 17, 2016, Churchill Downs Incorporated, a Kentucky corporation (the “Company”), entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), dated December 1, 2014, among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent and Collateral Agent, and the other Lenders signatory thereto.
The Amendment extends the maturity for the Company’s revolving credit and term loan facilities to February 17, 2021 and makes the maturities coterminous. Previously, the maturities were May 17, 2018 and December 1, 2019, respectively.
The interest rates applicable to the Company’s borrowings under the Credit Agreement are LIBOR-based plus a spread, determined by the Company’s total leverage ratio. The Amendment lowers the upper limit of the applied spread from 3.0% to 2.5%. The Amendment also offers a reduced pricing schedule for outstanding borrowings and commitment fees across all leverage pricing levels. The Amendment does not alter the Company’s borrowing capacity.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
