Las Vegas Sands (LVS) Enters $1.5B Revolving Credit Agreement

On April 3, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS) entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), with the lenders and issuing banks from time to time party thereto and The Bank of Nova Scotia (“Scotiabank”), as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), swingline lender and an issuing bank.

The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a new revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, which includes a $150 million sub-facility for letters of credit. The proceeds of the loans made and letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its affiliates and any other purpose not prohibited by the Revolving Credit Agreement. The outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement are scheduled to mature, and the unused commitments thereunder are scheduled to terminate, on April 3, 2029.

The loans made under the Revolving Credit Agreement will bear interest at either, at the Borrower’s option, (x) an adjusted rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate), plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.125% to 1.550% per annum, or (y) at an alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.125% to 0.550% per annum, in each case, depending on the Borrower’s corporate family credit rating. Under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Borrower must pay a commitment fee quarterly in arrears on the undrawn portion of the revolving commitments, which commitment fee ranges from 0.125% to 0.250% per annum, depending on the Borrower’s corporate family credit rating.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, in each case, subject to customary exceptions and thresholds, including a financial covenant limiting the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined below) to a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on (i) the incurrence of liens on the assets of the Borrower and certain subsidiaries (the “Restricted Subsidiaries”), (ii) the incurrence of indebtedness by the Restricted Subsidiaries, (iii) the merger, consolidation or liquidation of the Borrower or the sale of all or substantially all of the Borrower’s assets and (iv) investments in subsidiaries of the Borrower that are not Restricted Subsidiaries.
The Revolving Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, cross defaults to material debt, bankruptcy and insolvency, breaches of covenants and inaccuracy of representations and warranties, in each case subject to customary grace periods. In the case of a continuing event of default, the majority of lenders would be entitled to exercise various remedies, including the termination of any unused commitments and acceleration of any then-outstanding amounts due under the Revolving Credit Agreement.
