Offering of 4.250% Senior Notes due 2029
Indenture
On March 11, 2021, Playtika Holding Corp. (the “Company”) issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.250% senior notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) under an indenture, dated March 11, 2021 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
Private Offering
The Notes were sold in the United States only to accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and subsequently resold to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
Use of Proceeds
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with borrowings under the New Term Loan (as defined below), to repay in full the Old Term Loan (defined below), to pay fees and expenses in connection with the refinancing of the Old Term Loan, and for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses, capital expenditures, and the potential repayment of borrowings.
Maturity and Interest
The Notes will mature on March 15, 2029. Interest on the Notes will accrue at a rate of 4.250% per annum. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2021.
Guarantees
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s existing and future restricted subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) (the “subsidiary guarantors”).
Ranking
The Notes and the note guarantees will be the Company’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment to all of the Company’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ future subordinated indebtedness. The Notes and the note guarantees will be effectively subordinated to any of the Company’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, including indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Notes and the note guarantees will be structurally subordinated to the existing and future liabilities of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.
Redemption
The Company may redeem the Notes at any time prior to March 15, 2024, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the accrued principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, plus a make-whole premium.
The Company may redeem the Notes at any time on or after March 15, 2024, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to (i) 102.125% of the principal amount thereof, should such redemption occur before March 15, 2025, (ii) 101.063% of the principal amount thereof, should such redemption occur before March 15, 2026, and (iii) 100.000% of the principal amount thereof, should such redemption occur on or after March 15, 2026, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
In addition, at any time prior to March 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 104.250% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, so long as at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption, and the redemption date is within 90 days of the consummation of any such equity offering.
Covenants
The Indenture contains customary covenants that will limit the Company’s ability and, in certain instances, the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries, to borrow money, create liens on assets, make distributions and pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock, make certain types of investments, sell stock in certain subsidiaries, enter into agreements that restrict dividends or other payments from subsidiaries, enter into transactions with affiliates, issue guarantees of indebtedness, and sell assets or merge with other companies. These limitations are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Indenture.
Change of Control
In the event of a change of control, the Company must offer to repurchase the Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
Events of Default
Events of default under the Indenture include, among others, the following with respect to the Notes: default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes; failure to comply with certain covenants in the Indenture for 60 days (or 120 days with respect to the covenant relating to the provision of financial reports) upon the receipt of notice from the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes; acceleration or payment default of indebtedness of the Company or certain of its subsidiaries in excess of a specified amount that remains uncured following the applicable grace period provided in such indebtedness; final judgments against the Company or certain of its subsidiaries in excess of a specified amount that remains unpaid for 45 days; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or certain of its subsidiaries. In the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or certain of its subsidiaries, all Notes then outstanding will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default occurs with respect to the Notes, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may declare all Notes then outstanding to be due and payable immediately.

Incremental Assumption Agreement No. 3 and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement
On March 11, 2021, the Company entered into an Incremental Assumption Agreement No. 3 and Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its existing Credit Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2019 (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent.
The Second Amendment, among other things, effected a refinancing of the Company’s existing $2.375 billion senior secured first lien term loan outstanding under the Credit Agreement (the “Old Term Loan”) with a new $1.9 billion senior secured first lien term loan borrowed under the Credit Agreement (the “New Term Loan”), increased the Company’s revolving credit facility to $600 million and extended the maturity of the Company’s revolving credit facility to March 11, 2026. The New Term Loan matures on March 11, 2028, and requires scheduled quarterly principal payments in amounts equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the New Term Loan, with the balance due at maturity.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) LIBOR determined by reference to the cost of funds for Eurodollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, adjusted for certain additional costs, subject to a floor of 0.00% or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate as determined by the administrative agent and (iii) the one-month adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.00%, in each case plus an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is (x) with respect to the New Term Loan, 2.75% per annum in the case of any LIBOR loan or 1.75% per annum in the case of any base rate loan, subject to one 0.25% step-down based on the Company’s credit ratings and (y) in the case of the revolving credit facility, 3.00% per annum in the case of any LIBOR loan and 2.00% per annum in the case of any base rate loan, subject in the case of the revolving credit facility to three 0.25% step-downs based on the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio.
The foregoing description of the Second Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Second Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
