Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Indenture Supplement, Notes Issuance and amendment of Credit Agreement

On February 15, 2023, Full House Resorts, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a note purchase agreement in connection with a private offering of $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Additional Notes”), which offering closed on February 21, 2023.  The Additional Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 12, 2021 (as amended or supplemented through the date hereof, the “Indenture”) pursuant to which Full House issued $410 million of identical senior secured notes in February 2021 and February 2022 (the “Existing Notes” and, together with the Additional Notes, the “Notes”).  In connection with the issuance of the Additional Notes, the Company and the subsidiary guarantors party to the Indenture entered into a Fourth Supplemental Indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, dated February 21, 2023.  The Additional Notes will not be fungible with the Existing Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and will not trade fungibly with the Existing Notes over the facilities of the DTC or otherwise, but will be treated as a single series of senior secured debt securities with the Existing Notes and as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.  Proceeds from the offering, net of related expenses and discounts, were approximately $34 million.

The Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.25% per year and mature on February 15, 2028. Interest on the Notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 in arrears of each year.  The net proceeds from the sale of the Additional Notes are expected to be used: (i) to open The Temporary by American Place in Waukegan, Illinois (“The Temporary”), including the payment of related Illinois gaming license fees, which are expected to be paid in March 2023; and (ii) for general corporate purposes.  On February 17, 2023, the Company officially opened The Temporary to the public.

Also on February 21, 2023, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement with Capital One, National Association, which, among other things, increased the amount of additional Indebtedness permitted under the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2021 (as amended through the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”) from $25.0 million to $40.0 million.  In anticipation of the payment of gaming license fees necessary to open The Temporary – and prior to the completion of the Additional Notes offering – the Company borrowed $36.0 million under the Credit Agreement, which currently remains outstanding.  The Company currently has approximately $214 million of cash and equivalents on-hand, including approximately $110 million of restricted cash reserved for the completion of its Chamonix construction project in Cripple Creek, Colorado.

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 will be the Company’s and the Guarantor’s 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 Guarantor’s existing and future debt that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the Guarantees, if any, and ranking equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior debt.

The Notes, together with borrowings under the Credit Facility, are equally and ratably secured by a first priority security interest in, subject to certain exceptions and limitations and the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Company’s and the Guarantors’ furniture, equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, other personal property and real property.  Additionally, the Notes (but not the borrowings under the Credit Facility) will be secured by a first priority security interest in the securities accounts and the deposit accounts established pursuant to the Cash Collateral and Disbursement Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture, the Notes, the Credit Agreement and the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture, the form of the Notes (included in the Indenture) and the Credit Agreement, which have been previously filed and are incorporated by reference herein, and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture and the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement filed as Exhibit 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

The Notes were sold in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  The Notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

(b)If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company consummates any Asset Sales, within 10 days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets in accordance with the Indenture to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds.  The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the  principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, , subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, and will be payable in cash.  If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture.  If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered in (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis, based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed.  Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.  Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes. ​

(28)NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.  At least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, (or send such notices electronically in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary in the case of Notes in global form) a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 12 thereof.  Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased.

Any such redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including any related Equity Offering or a Change of Control.  In addition, if such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the related notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the date of redemption may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived (provided that in no event shall such date of redemption be delayed to a date later than 60 days after the date on which such notice was mailed), or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the date of redemption, or by the date of redemption as so delayed.

a.DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.  The Notes are in registered form in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture.  The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.  Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

(29)PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.  The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered Holders have rights under the Indenture.

(30)AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.  Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes  voting as a single class, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes  voting as a single class.  Without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of the Notes and Note Guarantees by a successor to the Company or such Guarantor pursuant to the Indenture, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any Holder,  to conform the text of the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or Collateral Documents  to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Company’s Offering Memorandum dated February 4, 2021, relating to the initial offering of the Notes, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Notes, or the Note Guarantees or Collateral Documents, which intent may be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate to that effect, to enter into additional or supplemental Collateral Documents, to release Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, or to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes. ​

(v) default under certain other agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Company which default is a Payment Default or results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity; (vi) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay certain final judgments, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed, for a period of 60 days; (vii) any representation or warranty or agreement in any Collateral Document or in any certificate, document or other statement delivered in connection therewith was materially inaccurate on the date made or deemed made, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company repudiates any of its or their material obligations under the Collateral Documents or the failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company for 45 days to comply with any of its or their material obligations under the Collateral Documents; and (viii)  any event of default under a Collateral Document or any of the Collateral Documents securing a material portion of the Collateral shall cease, for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms thereof), to be in full force and effect, or the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company shall so assert, or any security interest created, or purported to be created, by any of the Collateral Documents shall cease to be enforceable or of the same effect and priority purported to be created thereby; (ix) the Cripple Creek Expansion Opening Date does not occur by the Cripple Creek Expansion Opening deadline; (x) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; (xi) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee; (xii) failure by the Company to comply with or to be “in balance” under the Construction and Disbursement Agreement for more than 60 days; and (xiii)  the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be a party to any Lease Transaction other than a Permitted Lease Transaction for 60 days after notice to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary by the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding voting as a single class.  In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.  If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.  Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, if any,) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all the Holders of Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its respective consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, interest, if any, on, the Notes.  The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default. ​

(32)TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY.  The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

(33)NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.  No past, present or future director, partner, member, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees, Collateral Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.  The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

(34)AUTHENTICATION.  This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

(35)ABBREVIATIONS.  Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as:  TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

(36)CUSIP NUMBERS.  Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders.  No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors from time to time party thereto, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent have entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2021 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2022 and as further amended, amended and restated, refinanced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including by this Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Loan Parties have requested that the Administrative Agent and the existing Lenders amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, and the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders party hereto (constituting the Required Lenders) have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1.Amendment to Credit Agreement.  Subject to the conditions and upon the terms set forth in this Amendment and in reliance on the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in this Amendment, each of the parties hereto agrees that, effective on the Effective Date:

(a)Section 7.02(b)(xxi) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(xxi)the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding under this clause (xxi), including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xxi), not to exceed $40 million; provided that Indebtedness under this clause (xxi) may be designated as Parity Lien Debt (but not Priority Lien Debt).”

SECTION 2.Representations and Warranties of the Loan Parties.  Each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants, as of the Effective Date, as follows:

(a)The Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state or jurisdiction of its organization or formation, (ii) has all requisite entity power and authority to conduct its business as now conducted and as presently contemplated and, in the case of the Borrower, to make the borrowings under the Credit Agreement, and, in the case of the Loan Parties, to execute and deliver this Amendment and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and (iii) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary, except (solely for the purposes of this subclause (iii)) where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Amendment, (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary action, (ii) do not and will not contravene (A) any of its Governing Documents, (B) any applicable Requirement of Law (including any and all Gaming Laws) or (C) any Contractual Obligation binding on or otherwise affecting it or any of its properties, (iii) do not and will not result in or require the creation of any Lien (other than pursuant to any Loan Document) upon or with respect to any of its properties, and (iv) do not and will not result in any default, noncompliance, suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit, license, authorization or approval (including any and all Gaming Licenses) applicable to its operations or any of its properties, except, in the case of clauses (ii)(B), (ii)(C) or (iv), to the extent where such contravention, default, noncompliance, suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party hereto, and this Amendment is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person, enforceable against such Person in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

(d)No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the Effective Date or would result from this Amendment or any other Loan Documents becoming effective in accordance with its or their respective terms.

SECTION 5.Reference to and Effect upon the Loan Documents.

(a)Except as expressly modified hereby, all terms, conditions, covenants, representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents before giving effect to this Amendment, and all rights of the members of the Secured Parties and all of the Obligations, shall remain in full force and effect.  Each of the Loan Parties hereby confirms that the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are in full force and effect and that, as of the Effective Date, no Loan Party has any right of setoff, recoupment or other offset or any defense, claim or counterclaim with respect to any of the Obligations, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and nothing herein shall be deemed or otherwise construed to constitute a course of dealing between the parties hereto.

(b)Except as expressly provided herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not directly or indirectly (i) constitute a consent or waiver of any past, present or future violations of any provisions of the Credit Agreement, this Amendment or any other Loan Document, (ii) except as expressly provided herein, amend, modify or operate as a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any right, power or remedy of any Secured Party or (iii) constitute a course of dealing or other basis for altering any obligations or any other contract or instrument.

(e)The parties hereto expressly acknowledge that it is not their intention that this Amendment or any of the other Loan Documents executed or delivered pursuant hereto constitute a satisfaction, reinstatement, novation or release of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, but rather constitute a modification thereof or supplement thereto pursuant to the terms contained herein.

SECTION 6.Costs and Expenses.  The expense reimbursement provisions set forth in Section 12.04 (Expenses; Attorneys’ Fees) of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Amendment mutatis mutandis.
