Not for release, publication or distribution to any person located or resident in any jurisdiction where it is unlawful to distribute this press release.

We refer to the press release issued on 14 January 2021 (the “First Press Release”) by Intralot S.A. (“Intralot” or the “Company” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) regarding the entry of Intralot into a binding lock-up agreement (the “Lock-up Agreement”) with an ad hoc group of noteholders (the “Ad Hoc Group”) of its EUR 250 million senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the “2021 SUNs”). Members of the Ad Hoc Group hold in excess of 13% of the EUR 500 million senior unsecured notes due 2024 (the “2024 SUNs”). We also refer to the press release issued on 2 February 2021 announcing that the Lock-up Agreement has been executed or acceded to by entities holding directly or indirectly 82.62% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 SUNs then outstanding.

The Company is pleased to provide a further update regarding the next steps with respect to its balance sheet optimisation transactions.  

Capitalised terms used herein shall have the meaning provided to them in the First Press Release.

Updates to the Lock-Up Agreement
Intralot and the Majority Participating Noteholders (as defined in the Lock-Up Agreement) have entered into an agreement dated the date hereof to amend and update certain terms of the Lock-Up Agreement, including confirmation that the Company intends to implement the 2021 Note Exchange by way of a consensual debt exchange, changes to the representation and warranties provided by the Company, and updates with respect to certain commercial arrangements between the Group and Intralot, Inc. and its subsidiaries  (the “Intralot, Inc. Group”). The Lock-Up Agreement (as amended and restated) will be made available to the Participating Noteholders (as such term is defined in the Lock-Up Agreement). Participating Noteholders should direct any queries regarding the amendment of the Lock-Up Agreement to Lucid Issuer Services Limited as Information Agent using the contact details listed below.

The New SSNs will be issued in an aggregate principal amount of up to USD 244.6 million and will bear a cash interest rate of 7.09% in year one and two of issuance, 8.19% in year three of issuance, and 8.87% thereafter. The Group will also be provided with the option to capitalise interest at a payment-in-kind interest rate, in lieu of paying cash interest, of 9.98% for the first three years and 10.27% thereafter. Other material provisions relating to the New SSNs and the 2024 Note Exchange remain as set out in the First Press Release.

The Lock-Up Agreement contemplates that following the completion of the transaction, the Intralot, Inc. Group will operate, to the extent possible, as standalone entities. The Group and the Intralot, Inc. Group are party to an agreement that the business of supplying online gaming systems, retailer communication networks and point of sale equipment such as terminals and vending machines, and other technology and support services, to the lottery industry and in relation to sports betting activities will be carried out solely by the Intralot, Inc. Group in the territories of United States of America and its territories and possessions, Mexico, Canada and the Philippines. The Intralot, Inc. Group historically has engaged, and intends to continue to engage, in significant transactions with the Group relating to, among other things, man power support, administrative services, leasing, intellectual property and licensing costs. The Intralot, Inc. Group and the Group have entered into certain long term intellectual property licensing, services, technology, management and similar contracts or arrangements pursuant to which the Intralot, Inc. Group will have key assets supporting its lottery and sports betting businesses, enabling the Intralot, Inc. Group to achieve its strategic objectives. The pricing for certain of the intellectual property licensing agreements is based on a percentage of revenue derived from the use of the relevant intellectual property, subject in certain instances to agreed thresholds. In the period between the year ended December 31, 2020 and the year ending December 31, 2024, the Group estimates that these contracts could result in net cash payments of approximately €16.0 million from the Intralot, Inc. Group to the Group with approximately €2.0 million and €8.0 million of payments for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the projected year ending December 31, 2021, respectively, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the transactions, excluding licenses costs and services from new projects not currently contracted.

Supplemental Indenture
With the consent of holders of 2021 SUNs representing at least a majority of the 2021 SUNs outstanding, Intralot Capital Luxembourg S.A. (the “Lux Issuer”) has entered into a supplemental indenture dated the date hereof to amend certain terms of the 2021 SUNs, including changing the minimum denominations and integral multiple of the 2021 SUNs, amending the optional redemption notice period, removing the covenant under “Payment for Consents” and making certain other amendments.

Redemption of 2021 SUNs and Issuance of Additional 2021 SUNs
The Lux Issuer and the Company, among others, have entered into a loan facility agreement (the “Redemption Facility”) dated the date hereof with certain members of the Ad-Hoc Group (the “Redemption Facility Providers”), under which an amount of €147.6 million is committed to be made available by the Redemption Facility Providers to the Lux Issuer to redeem an equivalent amount (net of any fees, a portion of which fees, subject to the completion of the transactions, will be used by the Redemption Facility Providers to purchase New SSNs) of 2021 SUNs pursuant to the applicable optional redemption provisions of the 2021 SUNs, i.e redemption pro rata at par. Pursuant to a private placement purchase agreement, dated the date hereof (the “Additional 2021 SUNs Purchase Agreement”), the Lux Issuer will issue an equivalent amount of additional 2021 SUNs to the Redemption Facility Providers in exchange for the cancellation of the Redemption Facility.
The entry into the Redemption Facility and the Additional 2021 SUNs Purchase Agreement mark a significant step towards the Group’s efforts to implement its balance sheet optimisation transactions by way of consensual debt exchange offers.
