Impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s Public Offering was declared effective byCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements
In response to the United States SecuritiesCOVID-19 outbreak, the IGB made the decision to shut down all VGTs across the State of Illinois starting at 9:00 p.m. on March 16, 2020 and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 27, 2017. The Public Offering closed onultimately extended the shutdown through June 30, 2017 (the “Close Date”). The Sponsor purchased an aggregate2020. This temporary shutdown of 7,333,333 warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant, or $11,000,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement on the Close Date (the “Private Placement”). The warrants are included in additional paid-in capital at the balance sheet.

The Company intends to finance a Business Combination with proceeds from its $450,000,000 Public Offering (see Note 3) and $11,000,000 Private Placement (see Note 4). At the Close Date, proceeds of $450,000,000, net of underwriting discounts of $9,000,000 and funds designated for operational use of $2,000,000, were deposited in a trust account with Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”) as described below.

The Trust Account

Prior to January 2018, funds held in the Trust Account will not be invested and will be held in a non-interest bearing account. Beginning January 2018, funds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations (collectively, “Permitted Investments”).

Funds will remain in the Trust Account except for the withdrawal of interest earned on the funds that may be released to the Company to fund working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $750,000, and/or to pay taxes. The proceeds from the Public Offering will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to modify the substance and timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the Close Date, or 27 months from the Close Date if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months of the Close Date and (iii) the redemption ofIllinois video gaming impacted all of the Company’s public shares if it is unable to completegaming days during the Business Combination within 24three months from the Close Date, or 27 months from the Close Date if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 monthsended June 30, 2020, and 106 of the Close Date, subject to applicable law.

In response, the remainder available to pay offering costs, business, legal and accounting due diligenceIGB suspended all video gaming operations across the entire state of Illinois starting at 11:01 PM on prospective acquisitions, listing fees and continuing general and administrative expenses.


Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific applicationThursday November 19, 2020. Video gaming operations resumed in certain regions of the net proceedsstate beginning on January 16, 2021, and fully resumed in all regions on January 23, 2021. Even though video gaming operations resumed across all regions, certain regions still had government-imposed restrictions that, among other things, limited hours of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination with (or acquisition of) a target business. As used herein, the target business must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissionsoperation and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company signing a definitive agreement.

After signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, the Company will provide the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. Each public shareholder may elect to redeem their shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $750,000, and/or to pay taxes, divided byrestricted the number of then outstanding public shares, subject topatrons allowed within the limitations described herein.

Notes to be less than $5,000,001, after payment of the deferred underwriting commission. In such an instance, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination.

The Company has 24 months from the Close Date, or 27 months from the Close Date if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months of the Close Date, to complete its Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within this period, it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $750,000, and/or to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Company’s Sponsor and four independent directors (collectively, “Initial Shareholders”) and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4) if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the Close Date, or 27 months from the Close Date if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months of the Close Date. However, if the initial shareholders acquire public shares after the Close Date, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such public shares if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within the allotted 24-month time period, or 27 months from the Close Date if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months of the Close Date.

The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to any deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete the Business Combination and those amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Company’s public shares.

If the Company fails to complete the Business Combination, the redemption of the Company’s public shares will reduce the book value of the shares held by the Initial Shareholders, who will be the only remaining shareholders after such redemptions.

If the Company holds a shareholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with a Business Combination, a public shareholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including

all regions effective January 23, 2021, it is possible that it or the State of Illinois may order a shutdown by region (currently 11 regions), or a complete suspension of video gaming in the state, or institute stay-at-home, closure or other similar orders or measures in the future in response to a resurgence of COVID-19, particularly in light of variant strains of the virus, or other events. If this were to occur, the Company could recognize impairment losses which could be material.

Any significant changes to those accounting policies are discussed below. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Restatements of prior periods: The Company amended the full year or any future periods. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be readfor the periods ended June 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 in conjunction withits previously filed Form 10-K. Please see Note 2 to the auditedconsolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the final Prospectus dated June 27, 2017 filedForm 10-K for the facts and circumstance on the restatements.
Adopted accounting pronouncements:In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplified the guidance by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and clarifying or amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company withearly adopted the SEC and the audited balance sheet and notes thereto includednew standard in the Current Reportsecond quarter of 2020 (effective January 1, 2020) on Form 8-K dated June 30, 2017 filed by the Company with the SEC.

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1)a prospective basis. The adoption of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or dostandard did not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company did not have cash equivalents at September 30, 2017.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet due to their short-term nature.

Fair Value Measurement

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used to measure investments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment, characteristics specific to the investment, market conditions and other factors. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level I measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level III measurements).

Investments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets will typically have a higher degree of input observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.


The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are as follows:

Level I—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments at the measurement date are used.

Level II—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the investment, either directly or indirectly. Level II pricing inputs include quoted prices for similar investments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the investment, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level III—Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs used in determination of fair value require significant judgment and estimation.

In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the investment is categorized in its entirety is determined basedmaterial impact on the lowest level input that is significant to the investment. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the valuation of an investment in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the perceived risk of that investment.

Redeemable Ordinary Shares

All 45,000,000 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature as discussed above. In accordance with ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that in no event will it redeem its Class A ordinary shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets, or total shareholders’ equity, to fall below $5,000,001. Accordingly, at September 30, 2017, 42,975,686 of the Company’s 45,000,000 Class A ordinary shares were classified outside of permanent equity at their redemption value.

Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

estimates: The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and(ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and (iii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Offering Costs

Estimates used by the Company include, among other things, the useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets, income tax provisions, the evaluation of the future realization of deferred tax assets, projected cash flows in assessing the initial valuation of intangible assets in conjunction with business acquisitions, the selection of useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets in conjunction with business acquisitions, the valuation of level 3 investments, the valuation of contingent earnout shares and warrants, contingencies, and the expected term of share-based compensation awards and stock price volatility when computing share-based compensation expense. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Segment information: The Company complies withoperates as a single operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A “Expenses of Offering”. The Company incurred offering costs of $1,299,223 in connection withchief executive officer, who has ultimate responsibility for the Public Offering. These costs, together with the underwriter discount and Deferred Discount, totaling $24,750,000, were charged to additional paid-in capital upon completion of the Public Offering.

Net Loss per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period as calculated using the treasury stock method. At September 30, 2017, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase up to 22,333,333 Class A ordinary shares. The weighted average of these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per ordinary share since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. At September 30, 2017, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earningsoperating performance of the Company underand the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net loss per ordinary shareallocation of resources. The CODM assesses the Company’s performance and allocates resources based on consolidated results, and this is the sameonly discrete financial information that is regularly reviewed by the CODM.

Recent accounting pronouncementsIn February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. In July 2018, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method allowing the standard to be applied at the adoption date. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as basic net loss per ordinary shareeither finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Based on its EGC status, the Company expects the new standard will be effective for the period.

Income Taxes

Under ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” deferred tax assetsCompany's fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2021. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and liabilities are recognized foroperating leases existing at, or entered into after, the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences betweenbeginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.


ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at September 30, 2017.statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management doesexpected to have, or did not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have, a material effect on the Company’sits condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Public Offering

In its Public Offering, the Company sold 45,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company at $0.0001 par value and one-third of one warrant (a “Unit”). Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share (a “Warrant”). Only whole Warrants may be exercised and no fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants may be traded. The Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination or 12 months from the Close Date, and will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Alternatively, if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 24 months after the Close Date, or 27 months from the Close Date if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreementInvestment in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months of the Close Date, the Warrants will expire at the end of such period. If the Company is unable to deliver registered Class A ordinary shares to the holder upon exercise of Warrants issued in connection with the 45,000,000 Units during the exercise period, the Warrants will expire worthless, except to the extent that they may be exercised on a cashless basis in the circumstances described in the agreement governing the Warrants.

Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, and only in the event that the last sale price of the Company’s public shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders. Additionally, 90 days after the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants in whole, but not in part, for Class A ordinary shares at a price based on the redemption date and “fair market value” of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, and only in the event that the last sale price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share on the trade date prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders. The “fair market value” of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the Warrant holders. The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement for the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants under the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days following the completion of a Business Combination.

The Company paid an underwriting discount of 2.00% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering, or $9,000,000, to the underwriters at the Close Date, with an additional fee (the “Deferred Discount”) of 3.50% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering, or $15,750,000, payable upon the Company’s completion of a Business Combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes a Business Combination. The underwriters are not entitled to receive any of the interest earned on Trust Account funds that would be used to pay the Deferred Discount. The Deferred Discount has been recorded as a deferred liability on the balance sheet at September 30, 2017 as management has deemed the consummation of a Business Combination to be probable.

Founder Shares

On February 22, 2017, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 11,500,000 Company’s Class F ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. Prior to the Sponsor’s initial investment in the Company of $25,000, the Company had no assets. The purchase price of the Founder Shares was determined by dividing the amount of cash contributed to the Company by the number of Founder Shares issued by the Company.

On JuneJuly 19, 2017, the Sponsor transferred 40,000 Founder Shares to each of the Company’s five independent directors at their original purchase price. On August 14, 2017, the Sponsor forfeited 250,000 Founder Shares on the expiration of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. At September 30, 2017, the Sponsor and the Company’s five independent directors (the “Initial Shareholders”) held, collectively, 11,250,000 Founder Shares.

The Founder Shares are identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold in the Public Offering except that:

only holders of the Founder Shares have the right to vote on the election of directors prior to the Business Combination

the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below;

the Initial Shareholders and the Company’s officers and directors entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the Close Date. If the Company submits the Business Combination to the public shareholders for a vote, the Initial Shareholders have agreed, pursuant to such letter agreement, to vote their Founder Shares and any public shares purchased during or after the Public Offering in favor of the Business Combination; and

the Founder Shares are automatically convertible into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment pursuant to certain anti-dilution rights.

Additionally, the Initial Shareholders agree not to transfer, assign or sell any of their respective Founder Shares until the earlier of (i) one year after the completion of the Business Combination or (ii) subsequent to the Business Combination, if the last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination and (iii) the date following the completion of the Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s public shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Lock Up Period”).

Private Placement Warrants

On the Close Date, the Sponsor purchased from the Company an aggregate of 7,333,333 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant, or approximately $11,000,000, in a private placement that occurred in conjunction with the completion of the Public Offering (the “Private Placement Warrants”). Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in the Trust Account. The Private Placement Warrants will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Warrants. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, will have the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis. The Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination.

If the Company does not complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the Close Date, or 27 months from the Close Date if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months of the Close Date, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Company’s public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.


Registration Rights

Holders of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to other registration statements filed by the Company subsequent to its completion of the Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that that Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable Lock Up Period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Indemnity

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor (other than the Company’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduces the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to fund the Company’s working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $750,000, and/or to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company and, therefore, the Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. The Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such eventuality as the Company believes the likelihood of the Sponsor having to indemnify the Trust Account is limited because the Company will endeavor to have all vendors and prospective target businesses as well as other entities execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Related Party Note Payable

Between Inception and the Close Date, the Company’s Sponsor loaned the Company $300,000 in unsecured promissory notes. The funds were used to pay up front expenses associated with the Public Offering. These notes were non-interest bearing and were repaid in full to the Sponsor at the Close Date.

Administrative Services Agreement

On October 11, 2019, the Company purchased an additional $25.0 million convertible promissory note which is also subordinated to the terminal operator’s credit facility and, beginning on July 1, 2020, the balance of this note, if not previously converted, was payable in equal $1,000,000 monthly installments until all principal was repaid in full.
On July 30, 2020, the Company and the terminal operator entered into the Omnibus Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the original agreement to purchase convertible promissory notes from the terminal operator. The Amendment, among other things, extended the maturity date of the $5.0 million convertible promissory note and the beginning of the payback period for the $25.0 million convertible promissory note until December 31, 2020.
On March 9, 2021, the Company and the terminal operator entered into the Second Omnibus Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to both of the convertible promissory notes and the agreement uponto purchase the earlier of a Business Combination orconvertible promissory notes.

Note 10. Contingent Earnout Share Liability
Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company authorized and has available for issuance 10,000,000 shares of Class A ordinaryA-2 Common Stock. The holders of the Class A-2 Common Stock do not have voting rights and are not entitled to receive or participate in any dividends or distributions when and if declared from time to time. The Company concluded that the Class A-2 Common Stock should be reflected as a contingent earnout share liability due to the fact that such shares are not entitled to dividends, voting rights, or a stake in the Company in the case of liquidation.
In November of 2019, 5,000,000 shares of Class A-2 Common Stock were issued, subject to the conditions set forth in a restricted stock agreement (the “Restricted Stock Agreement”), which sets forth the terms upon which the Class A-2 Common Stock will be exchanged for an equal number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Class A-1 Common Stock. The exchange of Class A-2 Common Stock for Class A-1 Common Stock will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement, with such exchanges occurring in three separate tranches upon the satisfaction of the following triggers:
Tranche I, equal to 1,666,666 shares of Class A-2 Common Stock, will be exchanged for Class A-1 Common Stock if either (i) the EBITDA for the last twelve months (“LTM EBITDA”) of the Company (as determined pursuant to the

Restricted Stock Agreement) as of December 31, 2021, March 31, 2022 or June 30, 2022 equals or exceeds $132 million or (ii) the closing sale price of Class A-1 Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) equals or exceeds $12.00 for at least twenty trading days in any consecutive thirty trading day period;
Tranche II, equal to 1,666,667 shares of Class A-2 Common Stock, will be exchanged for Class A-1 Common Stock if either (i) the LTM EBITDA of the Company (as determined pursuant to the Restricted Stock Agreement) as of December 31, 2022, March 31, 2023 or June 30, 2023 equals or exceeds $152 million or (ii) the closing sale price of Class A-1 Common Stock on the NYSE equals or exceeds $14.00 for at least twenty trading days in any consecutive thirty trading day period; and
Tranche III, equal to 1,666,667 shares of Class A-2 Common Stock, will be exchanged for Class A-1 Common Stock if either (i) the LTM EBITDA of the Company (as determined pursuant to the Restricted Stock Agreement) as of December 31, 2023, March 31, 2024 or June 30, 2024 equals or exceeds $172 million or (ii) the closing sale price of Class A-1 Common Stock on the NYSE equals or exceeds $16.00 for at least twenty trading days in any consecutive thirty trading day period.
On January 14, 2020, the market condition for the settlement of Tranche I was satisfied. However, no stockholder is permitted to own more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding Class A-1 Common Stock after the settlement unless obtaining required gaming approvals from the applicable gaming authorities. In connection with the settlement, no gaming approvals were obtained. In addition, no stockholder can receive a fractional share from a conversion. As a result, only 1,666,636 shares of the 1,666,666 shares of Class A-2 Common Stock were converted into Class A-1 Common Stock.
Note 11. Warrant Liability
In November 2019, 7,333,326 warrants to purchase shares of Class A-1 Common Stock were issued with other consideration prior to the reverse recapitalization (the “Private Placement Warrants”). As a part of the reverse recapitalization, 2,444,437 Private Placement Warrants were canceled and reissued under the same terms and conditions to Accel legacy stockholders. Each warrant expires five years from issuance and entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A-1 Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the other outstanding warrants, at any time 30 days after the consummation of the reverse recapitalization.
In 2017, 15,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of Class A-1 Common Stock were issued in connection with the formation of TPG Pace Holdings (“Public Warrants”). Each warrant expires five years from issuance and entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A-1 Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the other outstanding warrants, at any time 30 days after the consummation of the reverse recapitalization.
On July 14, 2020, the Company announced that it had commenced an exchange offer (the "Offer") to all holders of its outstanding warrants to receive 0.25 shares of Class A-1 Common Stock in exchange for each warrant tendered pursuant to the Offer. The Offer was open until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on August 11, 2020.
On July 16, 2020, the Company consummated the redemption of its Public Warrants. The Company exchanged each Public Warrant for 0.25 shares of the Company’s Class A-1 Common Stock and issued 3,784,416 shares of its Class A-1 Common Stock in exchange for the Public Warrants at settlement of the redemption. The exchange was an equitable exchange at fair value and was accounted for as a capital transaction. On July 22, 2020, the Company received written notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the NYSE suspended trading in, and had determined to commence proceedings to delist, the Company’s Public Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A-1 Common Stock (ticker symbol ACEL.WS) from the NYSE. The delisting was a result of the failure of the Public Warrants to comply with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual which requires the Company to maintain at least 100 public holders of a listed security.

On August 14, 2020, 7,189,990 of the Private Placement Warrants were validly tendered representing approximately 99.93% of the total Private Placement Warrants outstanding. The Company accepted all such warrants and issued an aggregate of 1,797,474 shares of its Class A-1 Common Stock in exchange for the warrants tendered.
Note 12. Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and the corresponding disclosure requirements around fair value measurements. This topic applies to all financial instruments that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, various methods, including market, income and cost approaches, are used. Based on these approaches, certain assumptions are utilized that the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. Valuation techniques are utilized that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, it is required to provide information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 1 also includes U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities and federal agency mortgage-backed securities, which are traded by dealers or brokers in active markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

Investment in convertible notes
The Company engaged a third-party firm to assist it in determining the fair value of its investment in convertible notes. The valuation utilized a binomial lattice model in which a convertible instrument is split into two separate components: a cash-only (debt) component and an equity component. The binomial lattice trees are constructed using a methodology that assigns upward and downward movement factors and probabilities based on rates of return, volatility, and time. It allows for the optional conversion features of the convertible promissory notes to be captured by determining whether conversion or continuing to hold is the most economically advantageous to the holder. Upon conversion, future values in the equity component are subject to only the risk-free rate, while the cash-only component associated with continuing to hold the debt instrument is subject to the selected risk-adjusted discount rate. Solving backwards through the trees associated with the equity component and the trees associated with the debt component yields an aggregate discounted value for each. The sum of these values yields the indicated fair value of the convertible promissory notes.
The discount rate is the risk-adjusted discount rate that is implied by the rate that allows the discounted cash flows with all terms and conditions modeled to equal the total cash consideration. As such, after modeling the features of convertible promissory notes as of the issuance date using the lattice model framework outlined above, the Company solved for the discount rate that resulted in a value for the note equal to the total cash consideration. The valuation of the Company's convertible promissory notes is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement as the significant inputs are unobservable and require significant judgment or estimation.

Contingent Consideration
The Company uses a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the value of contingent consideration upon acquisition and updates this estimate on a recurring basis. The significant assumptions in the Company's cash flow analysis includes the probability adjusted projected revenues after state taxes, a discount rate as applicable to each acquisition, and the estimated number of locations that “go live” with the Company during the contingent consideration period. The valuation of the Company's contingent consideration is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement as the significant inputs are unobservable and require significant judgment or estimation. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities are classified within other expenses, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Contingent earnout shares
The Company determined the fair value of the contingent earnout shares based on the market price of the Company's A-1 Common Stock. The liability, by tranche, is then stated at present value based on i) an interest rate derived from the Company's borrowing rate and the applicable risk-free rate and ii) an estimate on when it expects the contingent earnout shares to convert to A-1 Common Stock. The valuation of the Company's contingent consideration is considered to be a Level 2 fair value measurement. Changes in the fair value of contingent earnout shares are included within loss (gain) on change in fair value of contingent earnout shares on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Warrants
The Company determined the fair value of its Public Warrants based on their closing price (ticker symbol ACEL.WS) on the NYSE and is considered to be a Level 1 fair value measurement. The Company determined the fair value of its Private Placement Warrants by using the fair value of its Public Warrants and a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires inputs such as the fair value of the Company's A-1 Common Stock, the risk-free interest rate, expected term, expected dividend yield and expected volatility. The Company's valuation of its Private Placement Warrants is considered to be a Level 2 fair value measurement. Changes in the fair value of the warrants are included within gain on change in fair value of warrants on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Note 13. Stockholders’ Equity
Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company authorized and has available for issuance the following shares:
Class A-1 Common Stock
The holders of the Class A-1 Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share with the exception that onlyshare. The holders of Class FA-1 Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends or other distributions when and if declared from time to time and share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.
On September 28, 2020, the Company completed an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 8,000,000 shares of its Class A-1 Common Stock (par value $0.0001 per share) at a price of $10.50 per share for a total offering size of $84.0 million. The Company received net proceeds from the Offering of approximately $79.2 million (net of underwriting discounts and commissions). The Company incurred offering costs totaling $5.3 million which have been capitalized to additional paid-in capital. The Offering also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to 1,200,000 additional shares of Class A-1 Common Stock at the public offering price of $10.50 less the underwriting discount, exercisable at any time within 30 days of September 23, 2020. In October 2020, the underwriters of the Offering partially exercised their option and purchased an additional 1,133,015 shares at a price of $10.50 per share, resulting in additional net proceeds to the Company of approximately $11.2 million (net of underwriting discounts and commissions).
Note 14. Stock-based Compensation
The Company grants various types of stock-based compensation awards. The Company measures its stock-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair value of the award and recognizes the expense over the requisite service period for the respective award.
Under the Accel Entertainment, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan, the Company granted 0.2 million stock options to eligible officers and employees of the Company during the first quarter of 2021, which shall vest over a period of 4 years. Also in the first quarter of 2021, the Company issued 0.4 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to the board of directors and certain employees, which shall vest over a period of 4 years for employees and a period of approximately 9 months for board of directors. The estimated grant date fair value of these options and RSUs totaled $5.6 million.
In the second quarter of 2021, the Company granted approximately 24 thousand stock options and 41 thousand RSUs to eligible officers and employees of the Company, which shall vest over a period of 4 years. The estimated grant date fair value of these options and RSUs totaled $0.7 million.
Stock-based compensation expense, which pertains to the Company’s stock options and RSUs, was $2.1 million and $3.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. In comparison, stock-based compensation expense was $1.3 million and $2.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included within general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss).
Note 15. Income Taxes
The Company recognized income tax expense of $5.9 million and $7.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. In comparison, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $5.1 million and $5.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
The Company calculates its provision for (benefit from) income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate to its year-to-date pretax book income or loss. The effective tax rate (income taxes as a

percentage of income before income taxes) was 32.2% and 36.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. In comparison, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 9.8% and 132.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate can vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, the amount of permanent tax adjustments and discrete items. The tax rate in 2020 was also impacted by the forecast of a net loss for the year, and the nondeductible gains/losses related to the revaluation of the Company's contingent earnout shares and warrants, which are treated as discrete items and caused variability in the effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law and authorized more than $2 trillion to battle COVID-19 and its economic effects, including immediate cash relief for individual citizens, loan programs for small business, support for hospitals and other medical providers, and various types of economic relief for impacted businesses and industries. The Company was eligible for certain credits of the relief programs under the CARES Act and has recorded a receivable of $1.1 million on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company will continue to monitor the situation and evaluate any additional future legislation.
Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies
Lawsuits and claims are filed against the Company from time to time in the ordinary sharescourse of business, including related to employee matters, employment of professionals and non-compete clauses and agreements. Other than settled matters explained as follows, these actions are in various stages, and no judgments or decisions have been rendered. Management, after reviewing matters with legal counsel, believes that the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Accel has been involved in a series of related litigated matters stemming from claims that Accel wrongly contracted with 10 different licensed establishments (the “Defendant Establishments”) in 2012 in violation of the contractual rights held by J&J Ventures Gaming, LLC (“J&J”), as further described below.
On August 21, 2012, one of the Company’s operating subsidiaries entered into certain agreements with Jason Rowell (“Rowell”), a member of Action Gaming LLC (“Action Gaming”), which was an unlicensed terminal operator that had exclusive rights to place and operate VGTs within a number of establishments, including the Defendant Establishments. Under agreements with Rowell, the Company agreed to pay him for each licensed establishment which decided to enter into exclusive location agreements with the Company. In late August and early September 2012, each of the Defendant Establishments signed separate location agreements with the Company, purporting to grant it the exclusive right to voteoperate VGTs in those establishments. Separately, on August 24, 2012, Action Gaming sold and assigned its rights to all its location agreements to J&J, including its exclusive rights with the Defendant Establishments (the “J&J Assigned Agreements”). At the time of the assignment of such rights to J&J, the Defendant Establishments were not yet licensed by the Illinois Gaming Board (“IGB”).
Action Gaming, J&J, and other parties, collectively, the Plaintiffs, filed a complaint against the Company, Rowell, and other parties in the Circuit Court of Cook County (the “Circuit Court”), on August 31, 2012, as amended on November 1, 2012, December 19, 2012, and October 3, 2013, alleging, among other things, that the Company aided and abetted Rowell in breaches of his fiduciary duties and contractual obligations with Action Gaming and tortiously interfered with Action Gaming’s contracts with Rowell and agreements assigned to J&J. The complaint seeks damages and injunctive and equitable relief. On January 24, 2018, the Company filed a motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, as further described below. On May 14, 2018, the Circuit Court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss and granted a stay to the case, pending a ruling from the IGB on the electionvalidity of directors priorthe J&J Assigned Agreements.
From 2013 to 2015, the Plaintiffs filed additional claims, including J&J Ventures Gaming, LLC et al. v. Wild, Inc. (“Wild”), in various circuit courts seeking declaratory judgements with a number of establishments, including each of the Defendant Establishments, requesting declarations that, among other things, J&J held the exclusive right to operate VGTs at each of the
20

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

Defendant Establishments as a result of the J&J Assigned Agreements. The Company was granted leave to intervene in all of the declaratory judgments. The circuit courts found that the J&J Assigned Agreements were valid because each of the underlying location agreements were between an unlicensed establishment and an unlicensed terminal operator, and therefore did not constitute use agreements that were otherwise precluded from assignment under the IGB’s regulations. Upon the Company’s appeal, the Illinois Appellate Court, Fifth District (the “District Court”), vacated the circuit courts’ judgments and dismissed the appeals, holding that the IGB had exclusive jurisdiction over the matter that formed the basis of the parties’ claims, and declined to consider the merits of the parties’ disputes. On September 22, 2016, and after the IGB intervened, the Supreme Court of Illinois issued a judgment inWildaffirming the District Court’s decision vacating the circuit courts’ judgments for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and dismissing the appeals, determining that the IGB has exclusive jurisdiction to decide the validity and enforceability of VGT use agreements.
Between May 2017 and September 2017, both the Company and J&J filed petitions with the IGB seeking adjudication of the rights of the parties and the validity of the use agreements. Those petitions were recently adjudicated by the IGB, largely in Accel’s favor, and J&J has filed a new lawsuit to challenge the IGB’s rulings. The Company does not have a present estimate regarding the potential damages, if any, that could potentially be awarded in this litigation and, accordingly, have established no reserves relating to such matters. There are also petitions pending with the IGB which could lead to the completion ofCompany obtaining new locations.
On October 7, 2019, the Company filed a Business Combination, subject to adjustment as providedlawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cook County against Jason Rowell and other parties related to Mr. Rowell’s breaches of his non-compete agreement with the Company. The Company alleged that Mr. Rowell and a competitor were working together to interfere with the Company’s amendedcustomer relationships. On November 7, 2019, Mr. Rowell filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cook County against the Company alleging that he had not received certain equity interests in the Company to which he was allegedly entitled under his agreement. The Company has answered the complaint and restated memorandumasserted a counterclaim, and articlesintends to defend itself against the allegations. Mr. Rowell's claims and the Company's claims are both being litigated in this lawsuit, while the original lawsuit remains pending against the other defendants. The Company does not have a present estimate regarding the potential damages, nor does it believe any payment of association. At September 30, 2017, there were 45,000,000 Class A ordinary shares issueddamages is probable, and, outstanding,accordingly, has established no reserves relating to these matters.
On July 2, 2019, Illinois Gaming Investors, LLC filed a lawsuit against the Company. The lawsuit alleges that a current employee of which 42,975,686 shares were subject to possible redemptionthe Company violated his non-competition agreement with Illinois Gaming Investors, LLC, and together with the Company, wrongfully solicited prohibited licensed video gaming locations. The lawsuit on its face seeks damages of $10.0 million. The parties are classified outside of shareholders’ equity at the balance sheet.

Accel has been licensed by the forward-looking statementsIllinois Gaming Board (“IGB”) since 2012 and holds a license from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. In July 2020, the Georgia Lottery Corporation approved one of our consolidated subsidiaries as a Master Licensee, which allows us to install and operate coin operated amusement machines for commercial use by the public for play throughout the State of Georgia. We operate 13,177 video gaming terminals across 2,527 locations in the State of Illinois as of June 30, 2021.
Our gaming-as-a-service platform provides local businesses with a turnkey, capital efficient gaming solution. We own all of our VGT equipment and manage the entire operating process for our licensed establishment partners. We also offer our licensed establishment partners VGT solutions that appeal to players who patronize those businesses. We devote significant resources to licensed establishment partner retention, and seek to provide prompt, personalized player service and support, which we believe is unparalleled among other distributed gaming operators. Dedicated relationship managers assist licensed establishment partners with regulatory applications and compliance onboarding, train licensed establishment partners on how to engage with players and potential players, monitor individual gaming areas for compliance, cleanliness and comfort and recommend potential changes to improve both player gaming experience and overall revenue for each licensed establishment. We also provide weekly gaming revenue payments to our licensed establishment partners and analyze and compare gaming results within individual licensed establishment partners. This information is used to determine an optimal selection of games, layouts and other ideas to generate foot traffic for our licensed establishment partners with the goal of generating increased gaming revenue. Further, our in-house collections and security personnel provide highly secure cash transportation and vault management services. Our best-in-class technicians ensure minimal downtime through proactive service and routine maintenance.
In addition to our VGT business, we also install, operate and service redemption devices that have ATM functionality, stand-alone ATMs and amusement devices, including jukeboxes, dartboards, pool tables, pinball machines and other related entertainment equipment. These operations provide a complementary source of lead generation for our VGT business by offering a “one-stop” source of additional equipment for our licensed establishment partners.

In response to the initial COVID-19 outbreak in early 2020, the IGB made the decision to shut down all VGTs across the State of Illinois starting at 9:00 p.m. on March 16, 2020 and ultimately extended the shutdown through June 30, 2020. As a result, we borrowed $65 million on our delayed draw term loan in March 2020 to increase our cash position and help preserve our financial flexibility. This temporary shutdown of Illinois video gaming impacted 106 of the 182 gaming days (or 58% of gaming days) during the six months ended June 30, 2020. In light of these events and their effect on our employees and licensed establishment partners, we took action to reduce our monthly cash expenses down to $2-$3 million during the shutdown to position us or persons actingto help mitigate the effects of the temporary cessation of operations by, among other things, furloughing approximately 90% of our employees and deferring certain payments to major vendors. Additionally, members of our senior management decided to voluntarily forgo their base salaries until the resumption of video gaming operations. Beginning in early June, we started reinstating employees from furlough in order to properly resume operations.
As a resurgence of COVID-19 occurred in the fall of 2020, the virus spread exponentially in every geographical region (currently 11 regions) in the State of Illinois. In response, the IGB suspended all video gaming operations across the entire state of Illinois starting at 11:01 PM on Thursday November 19, 2020. Video gaming operations resumed in certain regions of the state beginning on January 16, 2021, and fully resumed in all regions on January 23, 2021. Even though video gaming operations resumed across all regions, certain regions still had government-imposed restrictions that, among other things, limited hours of operation and restricted the number of patrons allowed within the licensed establishments. Given the staggered reopening by region in January of 2021, the temporary shutdown impacted, on average, 18 of the 181 gaming days (or 10% of gaming days) during the six months ended June 30, 2021. During this second shutdown, we furloughed idle staff as appropriate and deferred certain payments to major vendors.
As a result of these developments, our revenues, results of operations and cash flows have been materially affected. The situation is changing and additional impacts from COVID-19 and its variant strains on the Company’s behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on February 14, 2017 (“Inception”)business and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more target businesses (“Business Combination”). We have reviewed, and continue to review, a number of opportunities to enter into a Business Combination with an operating business, butfinancial results may arise that we are not ableaware of currently and cannot reasonably anticipate.

While the IGB has announced the resumption of all video gaming activities, it is possible that it or the State of Illinois may order a shutdown by region (currently 11 regions), or a complete suspension of video gaming in the state, or institute stay-at-home, closure or other similar orders or measures in the future in response to determine at this time whether we will complete a Business Combination with anyresurgence of COVID-19, particularly in light of variant strains of the target businessesvirus, or other events. Under the guidelines provided by the Illinois Department of Health and Governor’s office, the IGB has been closely monitoring Illinois' COVID-19 related statistics including the positivity rate, hospital admissions, and hospital bed availability in each region. We will continue to monitor the situation and its potential impact on our operations.
Components of Performance
Revenues
Net gaming. Net gaming revenue represents net cash received from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses. Net gaming revenue includes the amounts earned by the licensed establishments and is recognized at the time of gaming play.
Amusement. Amusement revenue represents amounts collected from amusement devices operated at various licensed establishments and is recognized at the point the amusement device is used.
ATM fees and other revenue. ATM fees and other revenue represents fees charged for the withdrawal of funds from Accel’s redemption devices and stand-alone ATMs and is recognized at the time of the ATM transaction.
Operating Expenses
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue consists of (i) a 34% tax on net video gaming revenue (such tax increased from 33% beginning on July 1, 2020) that is payable to the IGB, (ii) an administrative fee (0.8513% currently) payable to Scientific Games International, the third-party contracted by IGB to maintain the central system to which all VGTs across Illinois are connected, (iii) establishment revenue share, which is defined as 50% of gross gaming revenue after subtracting the tax and

Table of Contents
administrative fee, (iv) ATM and amusement commissions payable to locations, (v) ATM and amusement fees, and (vi) licenses and permits required for the operation of VGTs and other equipment.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist of operating expense and general and administrative (“G&A”) expense. Operating expense includes payroll and related expense for service technicians, route technicians, route security, and preventative maintenance personnel. Operating expense also includes vehicle fuel and maintenance, and non-capitalizable parts expenses. Operating expenses are generally proportionate to the number of licensed establishments and VGTs. G&A expense includes payroll and related expense for account managers, business development managers, marketing, and other corporate personnel. In addition, G&A includes marketing, information technology, insurance, rent and professional fees.
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the lease.
Amortization of route and customer acquisition costs and location contracts acquired. Route and customer acquisition costs consist of fees paid at the inception of contracts entered into with third parties and licensed video gaming establishments throughout the State of Illinois which allow Accel to install and operate video gaming terminals. The route and customer acquisition costs and route and customer acquisition costs payable are recorded at the net present value of the future payments using a discount rate equal to Accel’s incremental borrowing rate associated with its long-term debt. Route and customer acquisition costs are amortized on a straight-line basis beginning on the date the location goes live and amortized over the estimated life of the contract, including expected renewals.
Location contracts acquired in a business combination are recorded at fair value and then amortized as an intangible asset on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of 10 years.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net consists of interest on Accel’s current and prior credit facilities, amortization of financing fees, and accretion of interest on route and customer acquisition costs payable. Interest on the current credit facility is payable monthly on unpaid balances at the variable per annum LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin, as defined under the terms of the credit facility, ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% depending on the first lien net leverage ratio. Interest expense, net also consists of interest income on convertible promissory notes from another terminal operator that bear interest at the greater of 3% per annum or Accel's borrowing rate on it's credit facility.
Income tax expense (benefit)
Income tax expense (benefit) consists mainly of taxes (receivable) payable to federal, state and local authorities. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities.

Revenues
Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $202.0 million, an increase of $201.6 million, compared to the prior-year period. This increase was driven by an increase in net gaming revenue of $194.4 million, an increase in amusement revenue of $4.0 million, and an increase in ATM fees and other revenue of $3.1 million. The significant increase in net gaming revenue was attributable to the prior year IGB-mandated shutdown of Illinois video gaming due to the COVID-19 outbreak, which resulted in no gaming days for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net gaming revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 also reflected an increase in gaming terminals and locations, as well as, an increase in location hold-per-day which is driven by higher bet limit software, the addition of a 6th VGT and higher demand.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $135.8 million, an increase of $135.2 million, compared to the prior-year period due primarily to the previously mentioned IGB-mandated shutdown of Illinois video gaming in the prior year due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 also reflected an increase in the Illinois gaming tax from 33% to 34% on July 1, 2020.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $26.1 million, an increase of $16.2 million, or 163.2%, compared to the prior-year period. The increase was attributable to a reduction in our prior year monthly expenses during the IGB-mandated shutdown. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021, also reflected higher non-variable payroll-related costs as we have reviewedcontinue to grow our operations and we incurred higher stock-based compensation expenses.
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $6.3 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 24.5%, compared to the prior-year period due to an increased number of licensed establishments and VGTs.
Amortization of route and customer acquisition costs and location contracts acquired
Amortization of route and customer acquisition costs and location contracts acquired for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $6.2 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 10.7%, compared to the prior-year period. The increase was primarily attributable to our business and asset acquisitions.
Other expenses, net
Other expenses, net for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $2.7 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 14.2%, compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to non-recurring one-time expenses incurred in the prior-year period for costs to provide benefits (e.g. employee portion of health insurance premiums) for furloughed employees during the IGB-mandated shutdown, partially offset by larger fair value adjustments associated with any other target business.

We intendthe revaluation of contingent consideration liabilities due to consummate a Business Combination using cashstronger than anticipated performance from the proceedsassociated business acquisitions.

Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2017 (the “Close Date”) and2021 was $3.4 million, an increase of $0.9 million, or 35.6%, compared to the private placement of warrantsprior-year period primarily due to purchase our Class A ordinary shares (“Private Placement Warrants”) that occurred at the Close Date, and from additional issuances of, if any, our capital stock and our debt, orhigher interest rates, partially offset by a combination of cash, stock anddecrease in average outstanding debt.

At September 30, 2017, we held cash of $1,636,543, current liabilities of $1,295,110 and deferred underwriting compensation of $15,750,000. Further, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021, the weighted average interest rate was approximately 3.3% compared to a rate of approximately 2.7% for the prior year period.

Loss (gain) on change in fair value of contingent earnout shares
Loss on the change in fair value of contingent earnout shares for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $3.2 million, a decrease of $4.0 million, or 55.6%, compared to the prior year which had a loss of $7.2 million. The decrease was primarily due to the change in the market value of our A-1 common stock which is the primary input to the valuation of the contingent earnout shares.
Loss on change in fair value of warrants
Loss on change in fair value of warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $18.3 million. In the third quarter of 2020, we redeemed substantially all of the warrants which resulted in no change to the fair value of the remaining warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Income tax expense (benefit)
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $5.9 million, an increase of $11.0 million, or 217.2%, compared to the prior-year period, which had an income tax benefit of $5.1 million. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 32.2% compared to 9.8% in the prior-year period. Our effective income tax rate can vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, the amount of permanent tax adjustments and discrete items. The lower tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was due to projected permanent differences and the nondeductible losses related to the revaluation of our contingent earnout shares and warrants, which are considered discrete items.

Key Business Metrics
Accel uses a variety of statistical data and comparative information commonly used in the gaming industry to monitor the performance of the business, none of which are prepared in accordance with GAAP, and therefore should not be viewed as indicators of operational performance. Accel’s management uses this information for financial planning, strategic planning and employee compensation decisions. The key indicators include:
Number of licensed establishments;
Number of VGTs;
Average remaining contract term (years); and
Location hold-per-day.
Number of licensed establishments
The number of licensed establishments is calculated based on data provided by Scientific Games, a contractor of the IGB. Terminal operator portal data is updated at a pricethe end of $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $450,000,000 before underwriting discountseach gaming day and expenses. Each “Unit” consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one warrant (a “Unit”). Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share (a “Warrant”). Only whole Warrantsincludes licensed establishments that may be exercisedtemporarily closed but still connected to the central system. Accel utilizes this metric to continually monitor growth from organic openings, purchased licensed establishments, and no fractional Warrants will be issued upon separationcompetitor conversions. Competitor conversions occur when a licensed establishment chooses to change terminal operators.

metric to continually monitor growth from existing licensed establishments, organic openings, purchased licensed establishments, and competitor conversions.
Average remaining contract term
Average remaining contract term is calculated by determining the private saleaverage expiration date of an aggregateall outstanding contracts with Accel’s current licensed establishment partners, and then subtracting the applicable measurement date. The IGB limited the length of 7,333,000 Private Placement Warrants, each exercisablecontracts entered into after February 2, 2018 to purchase one Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share, to our Sponsor, at a pricemaximum of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant.

We received gross proceeds fromeight years with no automatic renewals.

Location hold-per-day
Location hold-per-day is calculated by dividing the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants of $450,000,000 and $11,000,000, respectively, for an aggregate of $461,000,000. $450,000,000 of the gross proceeds weredifference between cash deposited in a trust account with Continental Stock Transferall VGTs at each licensed establishment and Trust Company (the “Trust Account”). At the Close Date, the remaining $11,000,000 was held outside of the Trust Account, of which $9,000,000 was usedtickets issued to pay underwriting discounts and $300,000 was used to repay notes payable to our Sponsor, with the balance reserved to pay accrued offering and formation costs, business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. In the future, a portion of interest income on the funds held in the Trust Account may be released to us to pay tax obligations.

At September 30, 2017, we had cash held outside of the Trust Account of $1,636,543, which is available to fund our working capital requirements.

At September 30, 2017, we had current liabilities of $1,295,110, largely due to costs associated with our formation and Public Offering. We were able to begin identifying and evaluating potential Business Combinations following the Close Date and we therefore expect to incur additional expenses, which may be significant. We expect some portion of these expenses to be paid upon consummation of a Business Combination. We may, however, need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business prior to a Business Combination. We may request loans from our Sponsor, affiliates of our Sponsor or certain of our executive officers and directors to fund our working capital requirements prior to completing a Business Combination. We may use working capital to repay such loans. Additional funds could also be raised through a private offering of debt or equity. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds.

We may also need to obtain additional financing either to complete a Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Class A ordinary shares upon completion of a Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

We have 24 months from the Close Date, or 27 months from the Close Date if we have executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months of the Close Date, to complete our Business Combination. If we do not complete a Business Combination within this period, we shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares,players at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to fund its working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $750,000, and/or to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) dividedeach licensed establishment by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (includinglocations in operation each day during the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possibleperiod being measured. Then divide the calculated amount by the number of operating days in such period.

The following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income are non-GAAP financial measures and are key metrics used to monitor ongoing core operations. Management of Accel believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income enhance the understanding of Accel’s underlying drivers of profitability and trends in Accel’s business and facilitate company-to-company and period-to-period comparisons, because these non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effects of certain non-cash items or 27 months fromrepresent certain nonrecurring items that are unrelated to core performance. Management of Accel also believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are used by investors, analysts and other interested parties as measures of financial performance and to evaluate Accel’s ability to fund capital expenditures, service debt obligations and meet working capital requirements.

Location contracts acquired in a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months of the Close Date.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including earned interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) to consummate a Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to consummate a Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account after completion of the Business Combination and redemptions of Class A ordinary shares, if any, will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategy.


Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial agreements involving assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than an administrative agreement to pay monthly recurring expenses of $20,000 for office space, administrative and support services to an affiliate of our Sponsor. The agreement terminates upon the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilitiesare recorded at the date of the condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:

Offering Costs

We comply with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” We incurred offering costs in connection with our Public Offering of $1,299,223, primarily consisting of accounting and legal services, securities registration expenses and exchange listing fees. These costs, along with paid and deferred underwriter discounts totaling $24,750,000, were charged to additional paid-in capital at the Close Date.

Redeemable Ordinary Shares

The 45,000,000 Class A ordinary shares soldfair value as part of the Unitsbusiness combination accounting and then amortized as an intangible asset on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the contract of 10 years. “Amortization of route and customer acquisition costs and location contracts acquired” aggregates the non-cash amortization charges relating to upfront route and customer acquisition cost payments and location contracts acquired.

(2)    Stock-based compensation consists of options, restricted stock units and warrants.
(3)    Loss (gain) on change in fair value of contingent earnout shares represents a non-cash fair value adjustment at each reporting period end related to the value of these contingent shares. Upon achieving such contingency, shares of Class A-2 Common Stock convert to Class A-1 Common Stock resulting in a non-cash settlement of the obligation.
(4)    Loss (gain) on change in fair value of warrants represents a non-cash fair value adjustment at each reporting period end related to the value of these warrants.
(5)    Other expenses, net consists of (i) non-cash expenses including the remeasurement of contingent consideration liabilities, (ii) non-recurring expenses relating to lobbying efforts and legal expenses in Pennsylvania and lobbying efforts in Missouri, (iii) non-recurring costs associated with COVID-19 and (iv) other non-recurring expenses.
(6)    Calculated by excluding the impact of the non-GAAP adjustments from the current period tax provision calculations.
(7)    Emerging markets consist of the results, on an adjusted EBITDA basis, for non-core jurisdictions where our operations are developing. Markets are no longer considered emerging when Accel has installed or acquired at least 500 gaming terminals in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature under which holdersjurisdiction, or when 24 months have elapsed from the date Accel first installs or acquires gaming terminals in the jurisdiction, whichever occurs first.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2021, was $43.0 million, an increase of $51.7 million, when compared to the loss of $8.7 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was $68.8 million, an increase of $62.7 million, or 1,028.7%, compared to the prior-year period. The increase in performance for both periods was attributable to an increase in the number of licensed establishments, VGTs, and location hold-per-day, and the absence of the Class A ordinary shares may redeempreviously mentioned IGB-mandated shutdown of Illinois video gaming due to the COVID-19 outbreak that had a significant impact on our performance in the prior-year periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Accel believes that its cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and borrowing availability under its senior secured credit facility will be sufficient to meet its capital requirements for the next twelve months. Accel’s primary short-term cash needs are paying operating expenses, servicing outstanding indebtedness and funding near term acquisitions. As of June 30, 2021, Accel had $178.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.

In response to the decision by the IGB to shut down all or a portionVGTs across the State of their public shares upon completionIllinois due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we took action in the first quarter of 2020 to reduce our projected monthly cash expenses down to $2-$3 million during the shutdown to position us to help mitigate the effects of the temporary cessation of operations. The actions taken include furloughing approximately 90% our employees and deferring certain payments to major vendors. Additionally, members of our Business Combinationmanagement team decided to voluntarily forgo their salaries until the resumption of video gaming operations. We also borrowed $65 million on our delayed draw term loan in March 2020 to increase our cash position and help preserve our financial flexibility.
2019 Senior Secured Credit Facility
On November 13, 2019, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) as borrower, with Accel and our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors, the banks, financial institutions and other lending institutions from time to time party thereto, as lenders, the other parties from time to time party thereto and Capital One, National Association, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”), collateral agent, issuing bank and swingline lender, providing for an amounta:
$100.0 million revolving credit facility, including a letter of credit facility with a $10.0 million sublimit and a swing line facility with a $10.0 million sublimit,
$240.0 million initial term loan facility and
$125.0 million additional term loan facility.
As of June 30, 2021, there remained approximately $87.0 million of availability under the Credit Agreement.
The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Accel and our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of assets of the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. Certain future-formed or acquired wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries by us will also be required to guarantee the Credit Agreement and grant a security interest in cashsubstantially all of our assets (subject to certain exceptions) to secure the obligations under the Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at Accel’s option, at a rate per annum equal to their pro rata shareeither (a) the adjusted LIBOR rate (“LIBOR”) (which cannot be less than 0.5%) for interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months (or if consented to by (i) each applicable Lender, 12 months or any period shorter than 1 month or (ii) the Agent, a shorter period necessary to ensure that the end of the aggregate amount thenrelevant interest period would coincide with any required amortization payment ) plus the applicable LIBOR margin or (b) the alternative base rate (“ABR”) plus the applicable ABR margin. ABR is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2 of 1.0%, (ii) the prime rate announced from time to time by Capital One, National Association and (iii) LIBOR for a 1-month Interest Period on depositsuch day plus 1.0%. The Credit Agreement also includes provisions for determining a replacement rate when LIBOR is no longer available. As of June 30, 2021, the weighted-average interest rate was approximately 3.3%.
Interest is payable quarterly in arrears for ABR loans, at the end of the applicable interest period for LIBOR loans (but not less frequently than quarterly) and upon the prepayment or maturity of the underlying loans. Accel is required to pay a commitment fee quarterly in arrears in respect of unused commitments under the revolving credit facility and the additional term loan facility.
The applicable LIBOR and ABR margins and the commitment fee rate are calculated based upon the first lien net leverage ratio of Accel and its restricted subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as defined in the Trust Account asCredit Agreement. The revolving loans and term loans bear interest at either (a) ABR (150 bps floor) plus a margin of two business days prior1.75% or (b) LIBOR (50bps floor) plus a margin of 2.75%, at our option.
The additional term loan facility was available for borrowing until November 13, 2020. Each of the revolving loans and the term loans mature on November 13, 2024.
The term loans and, once drawn, the additional term loans will amortize at an annual rate equal to approximately 5.00% per annum. Upon the consummation of certain non-ordinary course asset sales, we may be required to apply the Business Combination (including interest, net cash proceeds

thereof to prepay outstanding term loans and additional term loans. The loans under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid without premium or penalty, subject to customary LIBOR “breakage” costs.
The Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, and requires Accel and certain of its affiliates obligated under the Credit Agreement to make customary representations and warranties in connection with credit extensions thereunder.
In accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), redemption provisions not solely within our control requireaddition, the securityCredit Agreement requires Accel to maintain (a) a ratio of consolidated first lien net debt to consolidated EBITDA no greater than 4.50 to 1.00 and (b) a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated fixed charges no less than 1.20 to 1.00, in each case, tested as of the last day of each full fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date and determined on the basis of the four most recently ended fiscal quarters of Accel for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to the Credit Agreement, subject to customary “equity cure” rights.
If an event of default (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) occurs, the lenders would be classified outsideentitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involveamounts due under the redemptionCredit Agreement, termination of the lenders’ commitments thereunder, foreclosure on collateral, and liquidation of all of an entity’s equity instruments, are excluded fromother remedial actions available to a secured creditor. The failure to pay certain amounts owing under the provisions of ASC 480. Although we did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that in no event will we redeem our Class A ordinary sharesCredit Agreement may result in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets, or total shareholders’ equity,increase in the interest rate applicable thereto.
Given the uncertainty of COVID-19 and the resulting potential impact to fall below $5,000,001. Accordingly, atthe gaming industry, as well as to provide additional financial flexibility, we and the other parties thereto amended the Credit Agreement on August 4, 2020 to provide a waiver of financial covenant breach for the periods ended September 30, 2017, 42,975,6862020 through March 31, 2021 of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (each as defined under the Credit Agreement). The amendment also raised the floor for the adjusted LIBOR rate to 0.5% and the floor for the Base Rate to 1.50%. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2021. Given our 45,000,000 Class A ordinaryassumptions about the future impact of COVID-19 and its variant strains on the gaming industry, which could be materially different due to the inherent uncertainties of future restrictions on the industry, we expect to meet our cash obligations as well as remain in compliance with the debt covenants in our credit facility for the next 12 months.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes Accel’s net cash provided by or used in operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the periods indicated and should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this filing:

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $54.2 million, an increase of $71.4 million over the comparable period. In addition to our increase in net income, we had favorable fair value adjustments on our contingent earnout shares and warrants, favorable remeasurements on contingent consideration and experienced an increase in working capital adjustments.
Net cash used in investing activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $13.8 million, an increase of $9.8 million over the comparable period and was primarily attributable to more cash used for the purchases of property and equipment as our

prior year purchases were classified outside of permanent equity.

Net Loss per Ordinary Share

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net lossimpacted by the weighted average numberthe previously mentioned IGB-mandated shutdown of ordinary shares outstanding duringIllinois video gaming due to the periodCOVID-19 outbreak. The six months ended June 30, 2021 was also impacted by cash payments of $3.2 million for acquisitions.

Net cash provided by financing activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $3.7 million, a decrease of $41.1 million over the comparable period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in net borrowings on our credit facility and lower payments on consideration payable.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we applied the same critical accounting policies as calculated using the treasury stock method. At September 30, 2017, we had outstanding warrants to purchase up to 22,333,333 Class A ordinary shares. The weighted average of these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per ordinary share since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. At September 30, 2017, we did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then sharedescribed in our earnings underForm 10-K that affect judgments and estimates of amounts recorded for certain assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.
Seasonality
Accel’s results of operations can fluctuate due to seasonal trends and other factors. For example, the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net lossgross revenue per ordinary sharemachine per day is typically lower in the same as basic net loss per ordinary share for the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the our financial statements.

Holidays, vacation seasons, and sporting events may also cause Accel’s results to fluctuate.

Interest rate risk

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues. As the net proceeds from our Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants heldinterest rate risk in the Trust Accountordinary course of its business. Accel’s borrowings under its senior secured credit facility were $351.4 million as of June 30, 2021. If the underlying interest rates were to increase by 1.0%, or 100 basis points, the increase in interest expense on Accel’s floating rate debt would negatively impact Accel’s future earnings and cash flows by approximately $3.5 million annually, assuming the balance outstanding under Accel’s credit facility remained at $351.4 million. Cash and cash equivalents are currently held in cash we dovaults, highly liquid, checking and money market accounts, VGTs, redemption terminals, ATMs, and amusement equipment. As a result, these amounts are not believe there will be any material exposure tomaterially affected by changes in interest rate risk.

At September 30, 2017, $450,000,000 was held in the Trust Account for the purposes of consummating a Business Combination. If we complete a Business Combination within 24 months after the Close Date, or 27 months from the Close Date if we have executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months of the Close Date, funds in the Trust Account will be used to pay for the Business Combination, redemptions of Class A ordinary shares, if any, the deferred underwriting compensation of $15,750,000 and accrued expenses related to the Business Combination.

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

None.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Lawsuits and claims are filed against Accel from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including related to employee matters, employment agreements and non-compete clauses and agreements. Other than settled matters explained as follows, these actions are in various stages, and no judgments or decisions have been rendered. Management, after reviewing matters with legal counsel, believes that the outcome of such matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Accel has been involved in a series of related litigated matters stemming from claims that Accel wrongly contracted with 10 different licensed establishments (the “Defendant Establishments”) in 2012 in violation of the contractual rights held by J&J Ventures Gaming, LLC (“J&J”), as further described below. 
On August 21, 2012, one of Accel’s operating subsidiaries entered into certain agreements with Jason Rowell (“Rowell”), a member of Action Gaming LLC (“Action Gaming”), which was an unlicensed terminal operator that had exclusive rights to place and operate gaming terminals within a number of establishments, including the Defendant Establishments. Under agreements with Rowell, Accel agreed to pay him for each licensed establishment which decided to enter into exclusive location agreements with Accel. In late August and early September 2012, each of the Defendant Establishments signed separate location agreements with Accel, purporting to grant it the exclusive right to operate gaming terminals in those establishments. Separately, on August 24, 2012, Action Gaming sold and assigned its rights to all its location agreements to J&J, including its exclusive rights with the Defendant Establishments (the “J&J Assigned Agreements”). At the time of the assignment of such rights to J&J, the Defendant Establishments were not yet licensed by the IGB.
Action Gaming, J&J, and other parties, collectively, the Plaintiffs, filed a complaint against Accel, Rowell, and other parties in the Circuit Court of Cook County (the “Circuit Court”), on August 31, 2012, as amended on November 1, 2012, December 19, 2012, and October 3, 2013, alleging, among other things, that Accel aided and abetted Rowell in breaches of his fiduciary duties and contractual obligations with Action Gaming and tortiously interfered with Action Gaming’s contracts with Rowell and agreements assigned to J&J. The complaint seeks damages and injunctive and equitable relief. On January 24, 2018, Accel filed a motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, as further described below. On May 14, 2018, the Circuit Court denied Accel’s motion to dismiss and granted a stay to the case, pending a ruling from the IGB on the validity of the J&J Assigned Agreements.
From 2013 to 2015, the Plaintiffs filed additional claims, including J&J Ventures Gaming, LLC et al. v. Wild, Inc. (“Wild”), in various circuit courts seeking declaratory judgements with a number of establishments, including each of the Defendant Establishments, requesting declarations that, among other things, J&J held the exclusive right to operate VGTs at each of the Defendant Establishments as a result of the J&J Assigned Agreements. Accel was granted leave to intervene in all of the declaratory judgements. The circuit courts found that the J&J Assigned Agreements were valid because each of the underlying location agreements were between an unlicensed establishment and an unlicensed terminal operator, and therefore did not constitute use agreements that were otherwise precluded from assignment under the IGB’s regulations. Upon Accel’s appeal, the Illinois Appellate Court, Fifth District (the “District Court”), vacated the circuit courts’ judgements and dismissed the appeals, holding that the IGB had exclusive jurisdiction over the matter that formed the basis of the parties’ claims, and declined to consider the merits of the parties’ disputes. On September 22, 2016, and after the IGB intervened, the Supreme Court of Illinois issued a judgment inWildaffirming the District Court’s decision vacating the circuit courts’ judgments for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and dismissing the appeals, determining that the IGB has exclusive jurisdiction to decide the validity and enforceability of VGT use agreements.
Between May 2017 and September 2017, both Accel and J&J filed petitions with the IGB seeking adjudication of the rights of the parties and the validity of the use agreements. Those petitions were recently adjudicated by the IGB, largely in Accel’s favor, and J&J has filed a new lawsuit to challenge the IGB’s rulings. Accel does not have a present estimate regarding the

potential damages, if any, that could potentially be awarded in this litigation and, accordingly, have established no reserves relating to such matters. There are also petitions pending with the IGB which could lead to Accel obtaining new locations.
On October 7, 2019, Accel filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cook County against Jason Rowell and other parties related to Mr. Rowell’s breaches of his non-compete agreement with Accel. Accel alleged that Mr. Rowell and a competitor were working together to interfere with Accel’s customer relationships. That lawsuit, which seeks equitable relief and legal damages, has not yet been served. On November 7, 2019, Mr. Rowell filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cook County against Accel alleging that he had not received certain equity interests in Accel to which he was allegedly entitled under his agreement. The parties are engaging in discovery. Accel intends to defend itself against the allegations. Accel does not have a present estimate regarding the potential damages, nor does it believe any payment of damages is probable, and, accordingly, has established no reserves relating to these matters.
On July 2, 2019, Illinois Gaming Investors, LLC filed a lawsuit against Accel. The lawsuit alleges that a current employee violated his non-competition agreement with Illinois Gaming Investors, LLC, and together with Accel, wrongfully solicited prohibited licensed video gaming locations. The lawsuit on its face seeks damages of $10 million. The parties are engaging in discovery. We are in the process of defending this lawsuit and have not accrued any amounts as losses related to this suit are not probable or reasonably estimable.
On December 18, 2020, we received a disciplinary complaint from the IGB alleging violations of the Video Gaming Act and the IGB’s Adopted Rules for Video Gaming. The disciplinary complaint seeks to fine us in the amount of $5 million. We filed our initial answer to the IGB’s complaint on January 11, 2021 and have begun the administrative hearing process. We intend to vigorously defend ourself against the allegations in the complaint and deny any allegations of wrongdoing. The Company has not accrued any amounts related to this complaint as losses are not probable or reasonably estimable.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Unregistered Sales

On February 22, 2017, our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 11,500,000 Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. On June 19, 2017, our Sponsor transferred 40,000 Founder to each of our five independent directors at their original purchase price. On August 14, 2017, our Sponsor forfeited 250,000 Founder Shares on the expiration of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. At September 30, 2017, our Sponsor and our five independent directors held, collectively, 11,250,000 Founder Shares.

On the Close Date, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 7,333,000 Private Placement Warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share, to our Sponsor, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating proceeds, before expenses, of $11,000,000. The Private Placement Warrants are substantially similar to the Warrants underlying the Units issued in the Public Offering, except that if held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees, they (i) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis and (ii) are not subject to being called for redemption. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than our Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Warrants.

The sales of the above securities by the Company were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.

Use of Proceeds

On June 27, 2017, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-218575) was declared effective by the SEC for the Public Offering pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 45,000,000 Units at an offering price to the public of $10.00 per Unit for an aggregate offering price of $450,000,000, with each Unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one Warrant. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. Only whole Warrants may be exercised and no fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants may be traded. Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as underwriters. Our Public Offering did not terminate before all of the securities registered in our registration statement were sold. The Public Offering was consummated on June 30, 2017.

Net proceeds of $450,000,000 from the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, including deferred underwriting discounts of $15,750,000, are held in the Trust Account at September 30, 2017. We paid $9,000,000 in underwriting discounts and incurred offering costs of $1,299,223 related to the Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer $15,750,000 in underwriting discounts, which amount will be payable when and if a Business Combination is consummated. We also repaid $300,000 in non-interest bearing loans made to us by our Sponsor to cover expenses related to the Public Offering. No payments were made by us to directors, officers or persons owning ten percent or more of our ordinary shares or to their associates, or to our affiliates. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from the Public Offering as described in our final Prospectus, dated June 27, 2017, which was filed with the SEC on June 28, 2017.
