The Majestic Star Casino, LLC Announces Expiration and Final Results of its Invitation to Holders of Outstanding Senior Notes to Become Lenders in a New Term Loan and Related Consent Solicitation
LAS VEGAS, May 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Majestic Star Casino, LLC ("Majestic") announced today the expiration and final results of its previously announced Invitation (the "Invitation") to the holders of its 12.5% / 14.5% Senior Notes due 2016 (the "Notes") to become lenders in a new 12.5% / 14.5% First Lien Secured Term Loan Facility (the "New Term Loan") and the related solicitation of consents (the "Consent Solicitation") from the holders of the Notes to the adoption of proposed amendments to the Indenture (the "Indenture") and the Intercreditor and Lien Subordination Agreement (the "Intercreditor Agreement") relating to the Notes. Majestic made the Invitation and Consent Solicitation pursuant to the Information Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated as of April 30, 2015, as supplemented by the Supplement No. 1 dated as of May 20, 2015 (the "Information Memorandum").
The Invitation and Consent Solicitation expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 28, 2015 (the "Expiration Date"). Prior to the Expiration Date, Majestic received valid deliveries of approximately $109.2 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, representing commitments in the New Term Loan for the same aggregate principal amount. On May 29, 2015 (the "Closing Date"), Majestic accepted all such Notes and entered into the New Term Loan. Holders of Notes that participated in the Invitation received accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes up to, but not including, the Closing Date, in cash. After giving effect to the cancellation of Notes accepted in the Invitation, approximately $1.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding.
Holders of Notes who made commitments to become lenders in the New Term Loan consented to the proposed amendments to the Indenture and to the Intercreditor Agreement, which amendments, among other things, eliminated most of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default contained in the Indenture, released all of the liens on the collateral securing the Notes under the Indenture and increased the amount of permitted obligations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The proposed amendments became effective on the Closing Date. All accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes that remains outstanding, including accrued and unpaid interest up to and including the Closing Date and all future interest, will be paid in kind to the extent set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. Accordingly, the holders of any Notes that remain outstanding following the Closing Date will receive their next interest payment via a payment-in-kind on or about June 1, 2015.
