SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION (NASDAQ:SGMS) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Supplemental Indenture

On February 14, 2017, Scientific Games International, Inc.
(SGI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Scientific
Games Corporation (the Company), issued $1.15
billion in aggregate principal amount of its 7.000% Senior
Secured Notes due 2022 (the New Notes) in a
private offering to qualified institutional buyers in accordance
with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act), and to non-U.S. persons under
Regulation S under the Securities Act. The New Notes were issued
to a Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 14, 2017 (the
Supplemental Indenture), to the Indenture, dated
as of November 14, 2014 (the Base Indenture and,
together with the Supplemental Indenture, the
Indenture), among SGI, as issuer, the Company
and the guarantors party thereto and Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas, as collateral agent and trustee.

The New Notes are treated as a single series of debt securities
with SGIs previously issued $950 million in aggregate principal
amount of 7.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the
Existing Notes) for all purposes under the
Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments,
redemptions and offers to purchase. The New Notes have terms
identical to the Existing Notes, other than issue date and
offering price and have the same CUSIP and ISIN numbers as, and
trade together with, the Existing Notes, except that the New
Notes (both 144A and Regulation S) have been issued and
maintained under a temporary CUSIP number during a 40-day
distribution period commencing on February 14, 2017.

In connection with the Supplemental Indenture, SGI, the Company
and the guarantors party thereto and Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas, as collateral agent, entered into Amendment No. 1 to
the Collateral Agreement (the Collateral Agreement
Amendment
), dated as of November 21, 2014, among SGI,
the Company and the guarantors party thereto and Deutsche Bank
Trust Company Americas, as collateral agent, relating to the
issuance of the New Notes.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On February 14, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to
the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 18, 2013 (as amended,
supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from
time to time, including without limitation, by that certain
Amendment No. 1, dated as of October 1, 2014, the Credit
Agreement
), by and among the Company, SGI, the several
banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to
time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative
agent and collateral agent (such amendment, Amendment No.
2
).

Amendment No. 2 (i) creates a new tranche of $3,291 million term
loans under the Credit Agreement (the New Term
Loans
) due October 1, 2021 (subject to an accelerated
maturity under certain circumstances), (ii) reduces the
applicable margin for the term loans to 4.00% per annum for
eurodollar (LIBOR) loans and 3.00% per annum for base rate loans,
(iii) reduces the availability under the revolving credit
facility under the Credit Agreement to $556.2 million through
October 18, 2018 and $381.7 million thereafter, (iv) extends the
termination date of the revolving credit facility under the
Credit Agreement to October 18, 2020 (subject to an accelerated
maturity under certain circumstances) and (v) modifies certain
other covenants as set forth in Amendment 2.

A portion of the proceeds of the New Term Loans, together with a
portion of the proceeds of the New Notes, was used to prepay some
of the existing term loans, and the remaining term loans were
converted into New Term Loans.

The foregoing descriptions of the Supplemental Indenture,
Amendment No. 2 and the Collateral Agreement Amendment do not
