Inspired Announces Private Placement of £270 Million Senior Secured Notes and New £17.8 Million Credit Facility
NEW YORK, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inspired Entertainment, Inc. (“Inspired” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: INSE), a leading B2B provider of gaming content, technology, hardware and services, today announced the completion of a private placement by its subsidiary of £270.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2030 (the “2030 Senior Secured Notes”). In connection with the placement, certain of its subsidiaries also entered into a new £17.8 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which replaces its existing, and now terminated, revolving credit facility.
The 2030 Senior Secured Notes will bear interest at a floating rate equal to SONIA plus a margin ranging from 550 to 600 basis points, based on the senior secured net leverage ratio of the Company’s subsidiaries that form part of the “Group” for the purposes of the 2030 Senior Secured Notes (the “Group”). The 2030 Senior Secured Notes will mature on June 9, 2030. The new Revolving Credit Facility will mature on December 9, 2029, and will bear interest at a floating rate based on SONIA for sterling-denominated borrowings, plus a margin of 325 to 375 basis points, also based on the Group’s senior secured net leverage ratio.
Inspired intends to use the proceeds from the offering of the 2030 Senior Secured Notes to (i) redeem its existing £235 million senior secured notes due June 1, 2026 and repay the £15 million loans outstanding under its existing £20 million revolving credit facility (and any accrued interest and/or fees thereon, in each case), (ii) to pay fees, commissions and expenses related to the refinancing, and (iii) for general corporate purposes. The 2030 Senior Secured Notes were purchased by Barclays Bank plc, HG Vora Special Opportunities Master Fund, Ltd., BSE Investments, Ltd. and HG Vora Opportunistic Capital Master Fund III A LP and the Revolving Credit Facility was provided by Barclays Bank plc. Stifel served as financial advisor and exclusive debt financing agent to the Company and Davis Polk acted as legal advisor to the Company.
