Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 30, 2012, Century Casinos, Inc.’s subsidiary Century Casinos Europe GmbH ("CCE") signed credit and management agreements with United Horsemen of Alberta Inc. ("UHA") in connection with the development of a proposed Racing Entertainment Center (“REC”) in Balzac, north metropolitan area of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, which would be exclusively managed by the Company.
The REC project is subject to development approvals and licensing from the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission ("AGLC"). There is no assurance that the needed approvals will be obtained or as to the timing of such approvals.
CCE has agreed to loan to UHA up to CAD 13 million (approximately USD 13 million based on the exchange rate in effect on November 30, 2012) for the exclusive use of developing the proposed REC. The loan has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 800 basis points and a term of five years and is convertible at CCE’s option once the project becomes operational into up to a 60% ownership position in UHA. The loan is secured by a leasehold mortgage on the REC property and a pledge of UHA’s stock by the UHA shareholders. The Company intends to provide the loan to UHA with borrowings under the Company’s Bank of Montreal credit agreement.
Once the REC is developed and operational and for as long as CCE has not converted the UHA loan into a majority ownership position in UHA, CCE will receive 60% of UHA’s net profit before tax as a management fee.
This summary of the credit and management agreements is qualified in its entirety by the text of the agreements, copies of which are attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.
