(1) The estimated fair value of these notes was approximately $325.8 million for June 30, 2022 and $327.5 million for December 31, 2021. The fair value was estimated using quoted market prices for these notes.

Senior Secured Notes due 2028. On February 12, 2021, the Company refinanced all $106.8 million of its outstanding Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “Prior Notes”) with the issuance of $310 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”). The net proceeds from the sale of the 2028 Notes were used to redeem all of the Prior Notes (including a 0.90% prepayment premium) and to repurchase all outstanding warrants. Additionally, $180 million of bond proceeds were placed into a construction reserve account to fund construction of Chamonix.

On February 7, 2022, the Company closed a private offering of $100 million aggregate principal amount of additional 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Additional Notes”), which sold at a price of 102.0% of such principal amount. Proceeds from the sale of the Additional Notes are being used: (i) to develop, equip and open The Temporary, which the Company intends to operate while it constructs its permanent American Place facility, (ii) to pay the transaction fees and expenses of the offer and sale of the Additional Notes and (iii) for general corporate purposes. The Additional Notes were issued pursuant to the indenture, dated as of February 12, 2021 (the “Indenture”), to which the Company issued the $310 million of 2028 Notes noted above (collectively, the “Notes”). In connection with the issuance of the Additional Notes, the Company and the subsidiary guarantors party to the Indenture entered into two Supplemental Indentures with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, dated February 1, 2022 and February 7, 2022, respectively. On March 3, 2022, the Company entered into a third Supplemental Indenture to establish a special record date for the initial interest payment for the Additional Notes.

The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.25% per year and mature on February 15, 2028. There is no mandatory debt amortization prior to the maturity date. Interest on the Notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year, with the next interest payment due on August 15, 2022.

The Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally (such guarantees, the “Guarantees”), by each of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Notes and the Guarantees are the Company’s and the Guarantors’ general senior secured obligations, subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement (as defined in the Indenture), ranking senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future debt that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the Guarantees, if any. The Notes and the Guarantees will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior debt.

The Notes contain representations and warranties, financial covenants, and restrictions on dividends customary for notes of this type. Mandatory prepayments, in whole or in part, of the Notes will be required upon the occurrence of certain events, including sales of certain assets, upon certain changes of control, or should the Company have certain unused funds in the construction disbursement account following the completion of Chamonix.

On or prior to February 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Notes with proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 108.25%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes prior to February 15, 2024 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and a “make-whole” premium.

At any time on or after February 15, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes for cash at the following redemption prices:

Revolving Credit Facility due 2026. On February 7, 2022, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement with Capital One, N.A., which, among other things, increased the borrowing capacity under the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2021, from $15.0 million to $40.0 million (the “Credit Facility”). The amended $40.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility matures on March 31, 2026 and includes a letter of credit sub-facility. The Credit Facility may be used for working capital and other ongoing general purposes.

Under the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, the interest rate per annum applicable to loans under the Credit Facility was amended to be, at the Company’s option, either (i) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin equal to 3.50% and a Term SOFR adjustment of 0.15%, or (ii) a base rate plus a margin equal to 2.50%. Upon completion of Chamonix (as defined in the agreement), the interest rate per annum applicable to loans under the Credit Facility will be reduced to, at the Company’s option, either (i) SOFR plus a margin equal to 3.00% and a Term SOFR adjustment of 0.15%, or (ii) a base rate plus a margin equal to 2.00%. Terms regarding the annual commitment fee, customary letter of credit fees, and repayment date of March 31, 2026, remain unchanged from the original Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2021. As of this report date, there were no drawn amounts under the Credit Facility and an outstanding standby letter of credit of $1 million related to the American Place project.

The Credit Facility is equally and ratably secured by the same assets and guarantees securing the Notes. The Company may make prepayments of any amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility (without any reduction of the revolving commitments) in whole or in part at any time without penalty.

The Credit Facility contains a number of negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, are substantially similar to the covenants contained in the Notes. The Credit Facility also requires compliance with a financial covenant as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, such that Adjusted EBITDA (as defined) for the trailing twelve-month period must equal or exceed the utilized portion of the Credit Facility, if drawn. The Company was in compliance with this financial covenant as of June 30, 2022.
