Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

The information set forth under Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed, CEC Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) is party to a credit agreement and related security agreements with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Credit Facility”), that provides senior secured financing consisting of (i) a $114 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) with a 5-year maturity (the “Revolving Facility Maturity Date”) and (ii) a $760 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with a 7-year maturity (the “Term Loan Facility Maturity Date”). The Credit Facility also provides that in the event more than $50 million of the Company’s 8.0% Senior Notes maturing February 15, 2022 (the “Senior Notes”), remain outstanding on the date that is 91 days prior to the stated maturity date of the Senior Notes, the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date and the Revolving Facility Maturity Date will spring to such earlier date. The material terms of the Credit Facility are described in Note 11 (“Indebtedness and Interest Expense”) to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2020.

As of December 29, 2019, the Company had no borrowing outstanding and an $8.5 million letter of credit issued but undrawn under the Revolving Credit Facility. On March 18, 2020, the Company borrowed $105 million that was available under the Revolving Facility. The current interest rate for borrowing under the Revolving Facility is LIBOR (relevant for the interest period of such borrowing) subject to a 1.00% floor plus 6.50%.

The Company increased its borrowings under the Revolving Facility as a precautionary measure in order to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak. In accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility, the proceeds from the Revolving Facility borrowing may be used for general corporate purposes.
