IGT Announces New Term Loan Facility and Amendment to Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facilities

On July 26, 2017, International Game Technology PLC (the “Company”) announced that it has entered into a €1,500 million term loan agreement which matures in 2023 and an amendment to its multicurrency revolving credit facilities which mature in July 2021.  Proceeds from the new €1,500 million term loan will be used to repay the €800 million term loans maturing in January 2019 and the €500 million 6.625% notes due in February 2018. The term loan will be repayable in full at maturity and will bear a variable interest rate based on certain credit ratings. The Company also voluntarily reduced the aggregate commitments of the multicurrency revolving credit facilities by about 30% to approximately $2,000 million to more closely match lower anticipated liquidity needs and created more flexibility under certain financial and non-financial covenants. The commitments under the US dollar and euro revolving credit facilities are now $1,200 million and €725 million, respectively.

A copy of the news release announcing the new term loan facility and amendment to multicurrency revolving credit facilities is furnished herewith as follows:
