CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        Our disclosure and analysis in this prospectus, including all documents incorporated by reference, contain "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, Section 21E of the Exchange Act and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. From time to time, we also provide forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public, as well as oral forward-looking statements. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "project," "may," "should," "will," "likely," "will continue," "future," "plan," "target," "goal," "observe," "seek," "strategy" and other words and terms of similar meaning. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance.

        Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the following matters: trends in gaming establishment and patron usage of our products; benefits of the Merger (defined herein), including potential synergies; benefits realized by using our products and services; product development and regulatory approval; gaming regulatory, card association and statutory compliance; the implementation of new or amended card association and payment network rules; consumer collection activities; future competition; future tax liabilities; international expansion; resolution of litigation; dividend policy; new customer contracts and contract renewals; preliminary and future financial information and operating data; future interest rates and interest expense; future borrowings; and future equity incentive activity and compensation expense.

        Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward looking statements:

Table of Contents

        In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking information contained in this prospectus will in fact transpire or prove to be accurate. Readers are cautioned to consider the specific risk factors described herein and in the section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors," and not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof.

        We undertake no obligation to update or publicly revise any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports and other filings with the SEC.

SUMMARY

        The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information included elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Because this is a summary, it may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, paying particular attention to the matters discussed under the caption "Risk Factors," as well as the information incorporated by reference (including our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes) and complete your own examination of us and the terms of the exchange offer and the exchange notes before making an investment decision.

Overview

        We are a global provider of integrated gaming payments solutions, video and mechanical reel gaming content and technology solutions, as well as compliance and efficiency software. Our Games business, under the Everi Games brand, provides: (a) comprehensive content, electronic gaming units and systems for Native American and commercial casinos, including the award-winning TournEvent® slot tournament solution; and (b) the central determinant system for the video lottery terminals installed at racetracks in the State of New York. Our Payments business provides: (i) access to cash at gaming facilities via Automated Teller Machine ("ATM") cash withdrawals, credit card cash access transactions, point-of-sale debit card transactions, and check verification and warranty services; (ii) fully integrated gaming industry kiosks that provide cash access and related services; (iii) products and services that improve credit decision making, automate cashier operations and enhance patron marketing activities for gaming establishments; (iv) compliance, audit and data solutions; and (v) online payment processing solutions for gaming operators in states that offer intra-state, Internet-based gaming and lottery activities.

The Merger and Related Financing Transactions

        On December 19, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Everi Games for approximately $1.2 billion in cash (the "Merger"). The acquisition was effected through the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings with and into Everi Games, with Everi Games continuing after the Merger as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings. We believe that the combination of the two companies has created a leading provider of cash access and gaming floor solutions that drive and enhance the revenue and profitability of our gaming establishment customers.

        Concurrently with the closing of the Merger, the Company issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Senior Secured Notes Due 2021 (the "old secured notes") and $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of the old notes. In addition, the Company entered into a $50.0 million, five year senior secured revolving credit facility and a $500.0 million, six year senior secured term loan (together, the "Credit Facilities"). The net proceeds of the offering of the old secured notes and the old notes, together with borrowings under the Credit Facilities and cash on hand, were used to pay the consideration in connection with the Merger, repay Holdings' and Everi Games' existing debt, and pay the fees and expenses relating to the Merger and the financing transactions.

Old Secured Notes Redemption

        In February 2015, we repurchased and retired $15.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the old secured notes with the proceeds of a settlement agreement related to an outstanding litigation matter.

        On April 15, 2015, the Company issued $335.0 million aggregate principal amount of new 7.25% senior secured notes due 2021 (the "new secured notes"). The proceeds from the issuance of the new secured notes were used to redeem, in full, the outstanding old secured notes from affiliates of Merrill

The Exchange Offer

        The following is a brief summary of certain material terms of the exchange offer. For a more complete description of the terms of the exchange offer, see "The Exchange Offer" in this prospectus.

Background

  On December 19, 2014, the Company issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.75% Senior Secured Notes Due 2021, or the old secured notes, and $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 10.00% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2022, or the old notes, in each case to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as the initial purchasers, in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Company subsequently redeemed the old secured notes with the proceeds from the issuance of the new secured notes. Thereafter, the initial purchasers subsequently sold the old notes to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A and to persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. Because the old notes were sold in reliance on exemptions from registration, they are subject to transfer restrictions.

 

In connection with the issuance of the old notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers pursuant to which we agreed, among other things, to register the exchange notes and to deliver this prospectus and to complete an exchange offer for the old notes. We are not required to effect an exchange offer for the new secured notes.

The Exchange Offer

 

We are offering to exchange up to $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 10.00% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2022, or the exchange notes, for an equal aggregate principal amount of old notes. The terms of the exchange notes are identical in all material respects to the terms of the old notes, except that the exchange notes have been registered under the Securities Act and do not contain transfer restrictions, registration rights or additional interest provisions. You should read the discussion set forth under "Description of Exchange Notes" for further information regarding the exchange notes. In order to be exchanged, an old note must be properly tendered and accepted. All old notes that are validly tendered and not withdrawn will be exchanged. We will issue and deliver the exchange notes promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer.

Table of Contents

Resale of Exchange Notes

 

Based on interpretations by the Staff of the SEC, as detailed in a series of no-action letters issued to third parties unrelated to us, we believe that the exchange notes issued in the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred by you without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as long as:

 

you, or the person or entity receiving the exchange notes, acquires the exchange notes in the ordinary course of business;

 

neither you nor any such person or entity receiving the exchange notes is engaging in or intends to engage in a distribution of the exchange notes within the meaning of the federal securities laws;

 

neither you nor any such person or entity receiving the exchange notes has an arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in any distribution of the exchange notes;

 

neither you nor any such person or entity receiving the exchange notes is an "affiliate" of Holdings, as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act;

 

neither you nor any such person or entity receiving the exchange notes is prohibited by any law or policy of the SEC from participating in the exchange offer; and

 

you are not acting on behalf of any person or entity that could not truthfully make these representations.

 

If you are a broker-dealer and you will receive exchange notes for your own account in exchange for old notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you will be required to acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. See "Plan of Distribution" for a description of the prospectus delivery obligations of broker-dealers. Any holder of old notes, including any broker dealer who:

 

is our affiliate;

 

does not acquire the exchange notes in the ordinary course of business; or

 

tenders in the exchange offers with the intention to participate, or for the purpose of participating, in a distribution of the exchange notes, cannot rely on the position the Staff of the SEC expressed in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation, Morgan Stanley & Co., Incorporated or similar no-action letters and, in the absence of an exemption, must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with the resale of the exchange notes.

 

4


Table of Contents

 

We have not submitted a no-action letter to the SEC and there can be no assurance that the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to the exchange offer. If you do not meet the conditions described above, you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with the resale of the exchange notes. If you fail to comply with these requirements you may incur liabilities under the Securities Act, and we will not indemnify you for such liabilities.

Expiration Date

 

5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 4, 2015, unless, in our sole discretion, we extend or terminate the exchange offer.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

 

If you wish to tender your old notes and your old notes are not immediately available, or you cannot deliver your old notes, the letter of transmittal or any other required documents, or you cannot comply with the procedures under The Depository Trust Company's ("DTC") Automated Tender Offer Program ("ATOP") for transfer of book-entry interests prior to the expiration date, you must tender your old notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in this prospectus under "The Exchange Offer—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures."

Acceptance of Old Notes and Delivery of Exchange Notes

 

Subject to customary conditions, we will accept outstanding old notes that are properly tendered in the exchange offer and not withdrawn prior to the expiration date. The exchange notes will be delivered as promptly as practicable following the expiration date.

Withdrawal Rights

 

You may withdraw tendered old notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. See "The Exchange Offer—Terms of the Exchange Offer."

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

 

The exchange offer is subject to certain customary conditions, including our determination that the exchange offer does not violate any law, statute, rule, regulation or interpretation by the Staff of the SEC or any regulatory authority or other foreign, federal, state or local government agency or court of competent jurisdiction, some of which may be waived by us. See "The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer."

Table of Contents

Procedures for Tendering Old Notes

 

If you wish to participate in the exchange offer, you must follow the procedures established by DTC for tendering unregistered notes held in book-entry form. These procedures require that (i) the exchange agent receive, prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer, a computer generated message known as an "Agent's Message" that is transmitted through DTC's ATOP, and (ii) DTC confirms that:

 

DTC has received your instructions to exchange your unregistered notes; and

 

you agree to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal

 

For more information on tendering your unregistered notes, please refer to the section in this prospectus entitled "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes."

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

 

Any old notes not accepted for exchange for any reason will be credited to an account maintained at DTC promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer. Old notes that are not tendered, or that are tendered but not accepted, will be subject to their existing transfer restrictions. We will have no further obligation, except under limited circumstances, to provide for registration under the Securities Act of the old notes. The liquidity of the old notes could be adversely affected by the exchange offer. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Exchange Offer—If you do not properly tender your old notes, your ability to transfer such outstanding notes will be adversely affected."

Taxation

 

The exchange of old notes for exchange notes by tendering holders should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For more details, see "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences."

Use of Proceeds

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes in the exchange offer. For more details, see "Use of Proceeds."

Exchange Agent

 

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is serving as the exchange agent in connection with the exchange offer. The address, telephone number and facsimile number of the exchange agent are listed under "The Exchange Offer—Exchange Agent."

Risk Factors

 

An investment in the exchange notes involves substantial risk. See "Risk Factors" for a description of certain of the risks you should consider before investing in the exchange notes.

If we experience specific changes of control, we may be required to offer to purchase the exchange notes at 101% of their aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase. Our ability to purchase the exchange notes upon a change of control may be limited by the terms of the Credit Facilities. We cannot assure you that we will have the financial resources to purchase the exchange notes in such circumstances.

Asset Sales

 

If we sell certain assets, under certain circumstances we may be required to offer to purchase the exchange notes at 100% of their aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase. See "Description of Exchange Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales; Event of Loss."

incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred stock;

 

pay dividends or repurchase or redeem capital stock or make other restricted payments;

 

limit dividends or other payments by our restricted subsidiaries to us or our other restricted subsidiaries;

 

pay dividends, make investments or make other restricted payments;

 

incur liens;

 

enter into certain types of transactions with our affiliates; and

 

consolidate or merge with or into other companies.

 

These and other covenants contained in the indenture governing the exchange notes are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. See "Description of Exchange Notes—Certain Covenants."

Table of Contents

DTC Eligibility

 

The exchange notes will be issued in book-entry form and will be represented by a permanent global security deposited with a custodian for and registered in the name of the nominee of DTC in New York, New York. Beneficial interests in the global security will be shown on, and transfers will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC and its direct and indirect participants and any such interests may not be exchanged for certificated securities, except in limited circumstances. See "Book-Entry, Delivery and Form."

Absence of Established Markets for the Exchange Notes

 

The exchange notes are a new issue of securities, and currently there is no market for the exchange notes. We do not intend to apply for the exchange notes to be listed on any securities exchange, or to arrange for any quotation system to quote them. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that liquid markets will develop for the exchange notes.

(1)
We compute the ratio of earnings to fixed charges by dividing (i) earnings (loss), which consists of net income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes plus fixed charges and amortization of capitalized interest less interest capitalized during the period and adjusted for undistributed earnings in equity investments, by (ii) fixed charges, which consist of interest expensed and capitalized, plus amortized premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness.

(2)
We needed to generate additional earnings of approximately $21.6 million related to the deficiency of earnings available to cover fixed charges to achieve a ratio of earnings to fixed charges of 1.0x for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

RISK FACTORS

        In considering whether to purchase the exchange notes offered hereby, you should understand the high degree of risk involved. You should carefully consider the risk factors and other information contained in this prospectus and the risk factors and other information incorporated by reference under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as well as the other information incorporated by reference into this prospectus as such risk factors and other information may be updated from time to time by our subsequent reports and other filings under the Exchange Act. See "Incorporation of Certain Information By Reference."

        In addition to the risk factors relating to our business, the industries in which we operate and other matters included under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and, to the extent applicable, any subsequently filed reports, you should carefully consider the following risk factors related to the unsecured notes, which, except as otherwise indicated, are generally applicable to the old notes as well as the exchange notes. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. The risks described below and incorporated by reference herein are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and the Exchange Notes

Despite our high indebtedness level, we will still be able to incur significant additional amounts of debt, which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.

        We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Although the Credit Facilities, the purchase agreement governing the new secured notes and the indenture governing the unsecured notes contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions, and, under certain circumstances, the amount of indebtedness that could be incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. If new debt is added to our and our subsidiaries' existing debt levels, the related risks that we now face would increase. In addition, the indenture governing the unsecured notes does not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness under those agreements. As of June 30, 2015, we had $50.0 million of borrowing availability under the Credit Facilities.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness, including the Credit Facilities, the new secured notes and the unsecured notes, and fund our working capital and capital expenditures, and we may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.

        Our ability to make scheduled payments on our indebtedness, including the Credit Facilities, the new secured notes and the unsecured notes, will depend upon our future operating performance and on our ability to generate cash flow in the future, which is subject to general economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings, including borrowings under the Credit Facilities, will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, including the Credit Facilities, the new secured notes and the unsecured notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs.

12


Table of Contents

        If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and could be forced to reduce or delay investment and capital expenditures or to dispose of material assets or operations, seek additional equity capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the Credit Facilities, the new secured notes and the unsecured notes. We may not be able to affect any such alternative measures, if necessary, on commercially reasonable terms or at all and, even if successful, such alternative actions may not allow us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. The Credit Facilities, the purchase agreement governing the new secured notes and the indenture governing the unsecured notes restrict our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from any such disposition.

        If we cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, we will be in default and, as a result, the holders of the unsecured notes and of the new secured notes could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable, the lenders under the Credit Facilities could declare all outstanding amounts under such facilities due and payable and terminate their commitments to loan money, and, in each case, foreclose against the assets securing the borrowings under the Credit Facilities and the new secured notes, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation, which could result in you losing all or a portion of your investment in the unsecured notes.

        If our indebtedness is accelerated, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, including the Credit Facilities, the new secured notes and the unsecured notes, before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including the Credit Facilities, the new secured notes or the unsecured notes, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funds to enable us to repay or refinance our debt obligations on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

We rely, to a certain extent, on our subsidiaries to generate cash and as such, our ability to make payments on the unsecured notes will be dependent on cash flow generated by these subsidiaries. Restrictions in our subsidiaries' existing or future contracts or debt instruments and under applicable law limit their ability to provide funds to us.

        We rely, to a certain extent, on our subsidiaries to generate cash. Accordingly, repayment of our indebtedness, including the unsecured notes, is dependent, to a certain extent, on the generation of cash flow by our subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash available to us, by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise. Each of our subsidiaries are distinct legal entities and they do not have any obligation to pay amounts due on the unsecured notes or to make funds available for that purpose or other obligations in the form of loans, distributions or otherwise and under certain circumstances, there may be legal and contractual restrictions on their ability to distribute and our ability to receive cash from these subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries may not generate sufficient cash from operations to enable us to make principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, including the unsecured notes, or to fund our and our subsidiaries' other cash obligations.

        In addition, the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make loans or other payments or distributions to us are currently, and in the future may be, subject to restrictions under, among other things, the credit agreement governing the Credit Facilities, the purchase agreement governing the new secured notes and other existing and future agreements or financing arrangements, as well as under the laws of such subsidiaries' jurisdictions of organization (which may limit the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends). Although the Credit Facilities, the purchase agreement governing the new secured notes and the indenture governing the unsecured notes limit the ability of these subsidiaries to incur consensual encumbrances or restrictions on their ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany payments, those limitations are subject to waiver and certain qualifications and exceptions.

The lenders under the Credit Facilities have the discretion to release the guarantors under their facilities in a variety of circumstances, which will cause those guarantors to be released from their guarantees of the unsecured notes.

        The lenders under the Credit Facilities have the discretion to release guarantors under these facilities in a variety of circumstances, which may cause those guarantors to be released from their guarantees of the unsecured notes. So long as any obligations under the Credit Facilities remain outstanding, any guarantee of the unsecured notes may be released without action by, or consent of, any holder of unsecured notes or the trustee under the indenture governing the unsecured notes if, at the discretion of lenders under the Credit Facilities, the related guarantor is no longer a guarantor of obligations under the Credit Facilities. You will not have a claim as a creditor against any subsidiary that is no longer a guarantor of the unsecured notes, and the indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, whether secured or unsecured, of those subsidiaries will effectively be senior to your claims as a holder of the unsecured notes.

The agreements and instruments governing our debt impose restrictions that may limit our operating and financial flexibility.

        The Credit Facilities, the purchase agreement governing the new secured notes and the indenture governing the unsecured notes contain a number of significant restrictions and covenants that limit our ability to:

        These covenants could have the effect of limiting our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and the markets in which we compete. In addition, the Credit Facilities and the purchase agreement governing the new secured notes require us to comply with a financial maintenance covenant under certain circumstances. Operating results below current levels or other adverse factors, including a significant increase in interest rates, could result in our being unable to comply with the financial covenants contained in the Credit Facilities and the purchase agreement governing the new secured notes, if applicable. If we violate this covenant and are unable to obtain a waiver from our lenders under the Credit Facilities and the holders of the new secured notes, our debt under the Credit Facilities and the purchase agreement governing the new secured notes would be in default and could be accelerated by our lenders. Because of cross-default provisions in the agreements and instruments governing our indebtedness, a default under one agreement or instrument could result in a default under, and the acceleration of, our other indebtedness. In addition, the lenders under the Credit Facilities and the new secured notes could proceed against the collateral securing that indebtedness.

        If our indebtedness is accelerated, we may not be able to repay our debt or borrow sufficient funds to refinance it. Even if we are able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms, on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If our debt is in default for any reason, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In

14

addition, complying with these covenants may also cause us to take actions that are not favorable to holders of the unsecured notes and may make it more difficult for us to successfully execute our business strategy and compete against companies that are not subject to such restrictions.

We face risks related to rating agency downgrades.

        If a rating agency were to reduce the rating on the unsecured notes in the future, the market price of the unsecured notes would be adversely affected, and you may not be able to resell your unsecured notes at favorable prices or at all. In addition, if any of our other outstanding debt is rated and subsequently downgraded, raising capital will become more difficult, borrowing costs under the Credit Facilities and other future borrowings may increase and the market price of the unsecured notes may decrease.

Your right to receive payments on the unsecured notes and the guarantees is effectively subordinated to our and the guarantors' secured indebtedness.

        The unsecured notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to our and the subsidiary guarantors' existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. In particular, the unsecured notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to the indebtedness under the Credit Facilities and the new secured notes, which are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the assets of Holdings and the subsidiary guarantors. As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately $830.0 million of secured indebtedness outstanding and $50.0 million of additional borrowing availability under the Credit Facilities, all of which would be secured. See "Description of Existing Indebtedness." We and our subsidiaries may incur additional secured indebtedness in the future.

        If we or a subsidiary guarantor becomes insolvent or is liquidated, the lenders or noteholders under our or the subsidiary guarantors' secured indebtedness will have claims on the assets securing their indebtedness and will have priority over any claim for payment under the unsecured notes or the guarantees to the extent of such security. If the lenders under the Credit Facilities or the holders of the new secured notes accelerate the payment of any funds borrowed thereunder and we are unable to repay such indebtedness, the lenders and secured noteholders could foreclose on substantially all of our assets and the assets of our guarantors securing such collateral. In this event, our secured lenders and secured noteholders would be entitled to be repaid in full from the proceeds of the liquidation of those assets before those assets would be available for distribution to other creditors, including holders of the unsecured notes. Holders of the unsecured notes will participate in our remaining assets ratably with all holders of any of our unsecured indebtedness that is deemed to be of the same class as the unsecured notes, and potentially with all of our other general creditors, and it is possible that there would be no assets remaining after satisfaction of the claims of such secured creditors from which claims of the holders of the unsecured notes could be satisfied or, if any assets remained, they might be insufficient to satisfy such claims fully.

The unsecured notes will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness of our current and future subsidiaries that do not become guarantors of the unsecured notes.

        Holders of the unsecured notes will not have any claim as a creditor against any of our current or future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the unsecured notes. Indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, whether secured or unsecured, of those subsidiaries will be effectively senior to claims of the holders of the unsecured notes against those subsidiaries. In addition, the indenture governing the unsecured notes, the purchase agreement governing the new secured notes and the credit agreement governing the Credit Facilities, subject to some limitations, permit these subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and do not contain any limitation on the amount of other liabilities, such as trade payables, that may be that may be incurred by these subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2015, our

15


Table of Contents

non-guarantor subsidiaries had an aggregate of approximately $15.9 million of total liabilities, all of which were structurally senior to the unsecured notes and the related guarantees, and accounted for approximately 1.7% of our total consolidated assets (excluding intercompany transactions).

The Credit Facilities and the purchase agreement governing the new secured notes may prohibit us from making payments on the unsecured notes.

        The Credit Facilities and the purchase agreement governing the new secured notes limit our ability to make payments on outstanding indebtedness other than regularly scheduled interest and principal payments as and when due. As a result, the Credit Facilities and the purchase agreement governing the new secured notes could prohibit us from making any payment on the unsecured notes in the event that the unsecured notes are accelerated or the holders thereof require us to repurchase the unsecured notes upon the occurrence of a change of control. Any such failure to make payments on the unsecured notes would cause us to default under the indenture governing the unsecured notes, which in turn would likely be a default under the Credit Facilities, the purchase agreement governing the new secured notes and other outstanding and future indebtedness.

We may not be able to purchase the unsecured notes upon a change of control or pursuant to an asset sale offer.

        Upon a change of control, as defined under the indenture governing the unsecured notes, the holders of notes will have the right to require us to offer to purchase all of the unsecured notes then outstanding at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. We cannot assure you that we would have sufficient funds available to repay all of our indebtedness, or other put rights that would become payable upon a change of control, and to repurchase all of the unsecured notes. Our failure to offer to purchase all outstanding notes or to purchase all validly tendered notes would be an event of default under the indenture governing the unsecured notes. Such an event of default may cause the acceleration of our other debt, including the Credit Facilities and the new secured notes. The credit agreement governing the Credit Facilities, the purchase agreement governing the new secured notes and the indenture governing the unsecured notes may limit or prohibit our subsidiaries' ability to make cash available to us, by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise, to enable us to purchase the unsecured notes in the event of a change of control or if an asset sale offer is required, unless and until the indebtedness under the Credit Facilities and the new secured notes are repaid in full and any other indebtedness that contains similar provisions is repaid, or we obtain a waiver from the holders of such indebtedness to provide us with sufficient cash to repurchase the unsecured notes. Our other debt also may contain restrictions on repayment requirements with respect to specified events or transactions that constitute a change of control under the indenture governing the unsecured notes. In addition, in certain circumstances specified in the indenture governing the unsecured notes, we will be required to commence an asset sale offer, as defined under the indenture governing the unsecured notes, pursuant to which we will be obligated to offer to purchase the unsecured notes at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Our other debt may contain restrictions that would limit or prohibit us from completing any such asset sale offer. Our failure to purchase any such notes when required under the indenture governing the unsecured notes would be an event of default. See "Description of Exchange Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control" and "Description of Exchange Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales; Event of Loss."

You may not be able to determine when a change of control giving rise to your right to have the unsecured notes repurchased by us has occurred following a sale of "substantially all" of our assets.

        A change of control, as defined in the indenture governing the unsecured notes, will require us to make an offer to repurchase all outstanding notes. The definition of change of control includes a

16


Table of Contents

phrase relating to the sale, lease or transfer of "all or substantially all" of our assets. There is no precisely established definition of the phrase "substantially all" under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require us to repurchase their notes as a result of a sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets to another individual, group or entity may be uncertain.

We may enter into certain transactions that would not constitute a change of control but that result in an increase of our indebtedness.

        Subject to limitations under the indenture governing the unsecured notes, the purchase agreement governing the new secured notes and the credit agreement governing the Credit Facilities, we could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations, that would not constitute a change of control under such agreements, but that could increase the amount of indebtedness outstanding at such time or otherwise affect our capital structure or credit ratings in a way that adversely affects the holders of the unsecured notes. See "Description of Exchange Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control."

There is no public market for the unsecured notes, which could limit their market price or your ability to sell them.

        There is currently no public trading market for the unsecured notes. Consequently, the unsecured notes may be relatively illiquid, and you may be unable to sell your unsecured notes. We do not intend to apply for listing of the unsecured notes on any securities exchange or for the inclusion of the unsecured notes in any automated quotation system.

Volatile trading prices may require you to hold the unsecured notes for an indefinite period of time.

        If a market develops for the unsecured notes, the unsecured notes may trade at prices higher or lower than their initial offering price. The trading price would depend on many factors, such as prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, general economic conditions and our financial condition, performance and prospects. Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial fluctuation in the prices of these securities. Disruptions of this type could have an adverse effect on the price of the unsecured notes. You should be aware that you may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the unsecured notes for an indefinite period of time.

If a bankruptcy petition were filed by or against us in the United States, the allowed claim for the unsecured notes may be less than the principal amount of the unsecured notes stated in the indenture governing the unsecured notes.

        If a bankruptcy petition were filed by or against us under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code after the issuance of the unsecured notes, the claim by any holder of the unsecured notes for the principal amount of the unsecured notes may be allowed in an amount equal to the sum of:

        Any such discount that was not amortized as of the date of the bankruptcy filing would constitute unmatured interest, which is not allowable as part of a bankruptcy claim under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, holders of the unsecured notes under these circumstances may receive an amount

17


Table of Contents

that is less than the principal amount of the unsecured notes stated in the indenture governing the unsecured notes.

Our variable rate indebtedness under the Credit Facilities subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

        We are exposed to interest rate risk through our variable-rate borrowings under the Credit Facilities. Borrowings under such facility bear interest at a variable rate, based on an adjusted LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin. Interest rates are currently at relatively low levels. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on certain of our variable rate indebtedness will increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, will correspondingly decrease. In the future, we may enter into interest rate swaps that involve the exchange of floating for fixed rate interest payments in order to reduce interest rate volatility. However, we may choose not to maintain interest rate swaps with respect to any of our variable rate indebtedness, and any swaps we enter into may not fully mitigate our interest rate risk.

Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from guarantors.

        The unsecured notes are guaranteed by Holdings and certain of our domestic subsidiaries. Under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee could be voided, or claims in respect of a guarantee could be subordinated to all other debts of that guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee:

        A court would likely find that a guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for such guarantee if such guarantor did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the unsecured notes and/or such guarantee.

        In addition, any payment by that guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor, or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor.

        The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred, such that we cannot be certain as to the standard a court would use to determine whether we or a guarantor was solvent at the relevant time. Generally, however, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

18


Table of Contents

        Regardless of the actual standard applied by the court, we cannot be certain that the issuance of the unsecured notes or a guarantee, would not be avoided. In addition, as described further below, any guarantees provided after the issue date of the unsecured notes may be especially subject to being challenged as an avoidable preference to the extent they are issued within 90 days of the commencement of an insolvency proceeding.

        To the extent that a court avoids or otherwise finds unenforceable for any other reason the unsecured notes or a guarantee, your claims against the Company or the relevant guarantor would be eliminated or limited. In addition, the court might direct you to repay any amounts already received from the Company or such guarantor. Further, the avoidance of the unsecured notes or a related guarantee could result in an event of default with respect to our other debt that, in turn, could result in acceleration of such debt.

        In certain circumstances, a court may subordinate claims in respect of the unsecured notes or a guarantee to all other debts of an issuer or a guarantor, or take other actions detrimental to the noteholders, based on equitable or other grounds. We cannot be certain as to the standards that a court might apply and whether it might find such subordination or other actions appropriate. Each guarantee contains a provision intended to limit the guarantor's liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer. This provision may not be effective to protect the guarantees from being voided under fraudulent transfer law or may reduce or eliminate the guarantor's obligation to an amount that effectively makes the guarantee worthless. For example, in 2009, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Florida in Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of TOUSA, Inc. v. Citicorp N. Am., Inc. (which was reinstated on other grounds by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit) found a savings clause provision in that case to be ineffective and held the guarantees at issue in that case to be fraudulent transfers and voided them in their entirety. Even if the guarantees of the unsecured notes remain in force, the remaining amount due and collectible under the guarantee may not be sufficient to pay the unsecured notes in full when due.

Because each guarantor's liability under its guarantee may be reduced to zero, avoided or released under certain circumstances, you may not receive any payments from some or all of the guarantors.

        Holders of the unsecured notes have the benefit of the guarantees of certain of our domestic restricted subsidiaries. The guarantees, however, are limited to the maximum amount that the guarantors are permitted to guarantee under applicable law. As a result, a guarantor's liability under its guarantee could be reduced to zero, depending on the amount of other obligations of such guarantor. Furthermore, under the circumstances discussed more fully above, a court under applicable fraudulent conveyance and transfer statutes could void the obligations under a guarantee or further subordinate it to all other obligations of the guarantor.

        As a result, a guarantor's liability under its guarantee could be materially reduced or eliminated depending upon the amounts of its other obligations and upon applicable laws. In particular, in certain jurisdictions, a guarantee issued by a company that is not in the company's corporate interests, the burden of which exceeds the benefit to the company or which is entered into within a certain period prior to insolvency or bankruptcy, may not be valid and enforceable. It is possible that a guarantor, a creditor of a guarantor or the insolvency administrator in the case of an insolvency of a guarantor may contest the validity and enforceability of the guarantee and that the applicable court may determine the guarantee should be limited or voided. In the event that any guarantees are deemed invalid or

19


Table of Contents

unenforceable, in whole or in part, or to the extent that agreed limitations on the guarantee obligation apply, the unsecured notes would be structurally subordinated to all liabilities of the applicable guarantor.

We may require you to dispose of your unsecured notes or redeem your unsecured notes if any gaming authority finds you unsuitable to hold them, which could cause you to lose some of your investment.

        We may require you to dispose of your unsecured notes or redeem your unsecured notes if any gaming authority finds you unsuitable to hold them or in order to otherwise comply with gaming laws to which we are subject. Gaming authorities can generally require that any beneficial owner of our securities, including holders of the unsecured notes, file an application for a finding of suitability. If a gaming authority requires a record or beneficial owner of an unsecured note to file a suitability application, the owner must apply for a finding of suitability within 30 days or at an earlier time prescribed by the gaming authority. The gaming authority has the power to investigate an owner's suitability and the owner must pay all costs of the investigation. If the owner refuses to file a suitability application or is found unsuitable, then the owner may be required, either by law or the terms of the unsecured notes, to dispose of the unsecured notes. See "Description of Exchange Notes—Mandatory Disposition or Redemption Pursuant to Gaming Laws."

The unsecured notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and the guarantors and are effectively subordinated to our secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.

        The unsecured notes are the general unsecured obligations of the Company and the guarantors. Holders of our existing and future secured indebtedness, including the Credit Facilities and the new secured notes, will have claims that are senior to the claims of a holder of the unsecured notes, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such other indebtedness. As a result, in the event of any distribution or payment of our assets in any bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution, holders of secured indebtedness will have a prior claim to those assets that constitute their collateral. In any of the foregoing events, we cannot assure holders of the unsecured notes that there will be sufficient assets to pay all amounts due on the unsecured notes to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.

        As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately $1.2 billion of outstanding consolidated indebtedness, $830.0 million of which was secured indebtedness. In addition, as of June 30, 2015, the Credit Facilities permitted additional borrowings up to at least $50.0 million, all of which would be secured. All of the secured debt would be effectively senior to the unsecured notes to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.

Risks Related to the Exchange Offer

If you do not properly tender your old notes, your ability to transfer such outstanding notes will be adversely affected.

        We will only issue exchange notes in exchange for old notes that are timely received by the exchange agent, together with all required documents, including a properly completed and signed letter of transmittal. Therefore, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery of the old notes and you should carefully follow the instructions on how to tender your unregistered notes. Neither we nor the exchange agent are required to tell you of any defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of the old notes. If you do not tender your old notes or if your tender of old notes is not accepted because you did not tender your old notes properly, then, after consummation of the exchange offer, you will continue to hold old notes that are subject to the existing transfer restrictions. After the exchange offer is consummated, if you continue to hold any unregistered notes, you may have difficulty selling them because there will be fewer unregistered notes remaining and the market for

20


Table of Contents

such unregistered notes, if any, will be much more limited than it is currently. In particular, the trading market for unexchanged old notes could become more limited than the existing trading market for the old notes and could cease to exist altogether due to the reduction in the amount of the old notes remaining upon consummation of the exchange offer. A more limited trading market might adversely affect the liquidity, market price and price volatility of such untendered old notes.

If you are a broker-dealer or participating in a distribution of the exchange notes, you may be required to deliver prospectuses and comply with other requirements.

        If you tender your old notes for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the exchange notes, you will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. If you are a broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for your own account in exchange for old notes that you acquired as a result of market-making activities or any other trading activities, you will be required to acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        The exchange offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreements. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes in the exchange offer. In consideration for issuing the exchange notes, we will receive in exchange old notes in like principal amount. The form and terms of the exchange notes are identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the old notes, except that the transfer restrictions, registration rights and rights to special interest applicable to the old notes do not apply to the exchange notes. The old notes surrendered in exchange for the exchange notes will be retired and canceled and cannot be reissued. Accordingly, issuance of the exchange notes will not result in any increase in our outstanding debt.

        On December 19, 2014, concurrently with the closing of the Merger, we entered into a credit agreement that provides for a $50.0 million, five-year senior secured revolving credit facility and a $500.0 million, six-year senior secured term loan facility, or the Credit Facilities. We have summarized below the principal terms of the agreement that governs the Credit Facilities. This summary is not a complete description of all of the terms of the agreement.

General

        The Credit Facilities are provided by a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions led by Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer; Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as syndication agent; and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers. The senior secured term loan facility matures in 2020 and the proceeds thereof were used to pay the consideration in connection with the Merger, to repay Holdings' and Everi Games' existing debt, and to pay the fees and expenses relating to the Merger, the offering of the old secured notes and the old notes, and the other financing transactions. The senior secured revolving credit facility matures in 2019 and is available for general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions, working capital and the issuance of letters of credit. All borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default and accuracy of representations and warranties.

Interest and Fees

        The interest rate per annum applicable to loans under the senior secured revolving credit facility is, at the Company's option, the base rate or LIBOR plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The interest rate per annum applicable to the senior secured term loan is also, at the Company's option, the base rate or LIBOR plus, in each case, an applicable margin. LIBOR is reset at the beginning of each selected interest period based on the LIBOR rate then in effect; provided that, with respect to the senior secured revolving credit facility, if LIBOR is below zero, then such rate will be equal to zero plus the applicable margin, and, with respect to the senior secured term loan, if LIBOR is below 1.0%, then such rate will be equal to 1.0% plus the applicable margin. The base rate is a fluctuating interest rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime lending rate announced by the administrative agent, (ii) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, and (iii) LIBOR (after taking account of any applicable floor) applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%. The applicable margin for the senior secured revolving credit facility is subject to adjustment based on our consolidated secured leverage ratio.

Prepayments

        Voluntary prepayments of the term loan and the revolving loans and voluntary reductions in the unused commitments are permitted in whole or in part, in minimum amounts as set forth in the credit agreement governing the Credit Facilities, with prior notice but without premium or penalty, except that certain refinancings of the term loans within twelve months after the closing thereof will be subject to a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the principal amount prepaid.

Collateral and Guarantees

        Subject to certain exceptions, the obligations under the Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the present and after acquired assets of each of Holdings, the Company, and Holdings' direct and indirect wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Credit

Facilities including, (i) a perfected first priority pledge of all the capital stock of the Company and each domestic direct, wholly owned material restricted subsidiary held by Holdings, the Company or any of Holdings' direct and indirect wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Credit Facilities, and (ii) a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of Holdings, the Company, and any of Holdings' direct and indirect wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Credit Facilities (including, but not limited, to accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, investment property, real property, intellectual property and the proceeds of the foregoing). Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and each of its existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct and indirect wholly owned U.S. restricted subsidiaries.

Covenants and Other Matters

        The credit agreement governing the Credit Facilities contains covenants that limit our ability to, among other things:

        The credit agreement governing the Credit Facilities also requires Holdings, together with its subsidiaries, to comply with a consolidated secured leverage ratio.

        Events of default under the credit agreement governing the Credit Facilities include customary events such as a cross-default provision with respect to other material debt (which includes the unsecured notes). In addition, an event of default would occur if we undergo a change of control. This is defined to include the case where Holdings ceases to own 100% of the equity interests of the Company, or where any person or group acquires a percentage of the economic or voting interests of Holdings' capital stock of 35% or more (determined on a fully diluted basis), or where a majority of the board of directors of Holdings ceases to consist of persons who are directors of Holdings on the closing date or other directors whose nomination for election to the board of directors of Holdings was recommended by a majority of the then continuing directors.

New Secured Notes

        On April 15, 2015, concurrently with the redemption of the old secured notes, we entered into a note purchase agreement (the "note purchase agreement") pursuant to which we issued $335.0 million in aggregate principal amount of new 7.25% Senior Secured Notes due April 15, 2021, or the new secured notes.

        We have summarized below the principal terms of the note purchase agreement that governs the new secured notes. This summary is not a complete description of all of the terms of the note purchase agreement and other documents governing the new secured notes.

General

        The new secured notes were issued to CPPIB Credit Investments III Inc., a professional investment management organization that invests the assets of the Canada Pension Plan. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas acts as collateral agent for the holders of the new secured notes.

Interest and PIK Interest

        The interest rate per annum applicable to new secured notes under the note purchase agreement is 7.25%. Interest on the new secured notes is payable quarterly in arrears.

        For any interest period, so long as Holdings, the Company, and the subsidiary guarantors have not failed to create a perfected first priority lien on certain pledged equity before September 1, 2015, the Company may, at its option, elect to pay a portion of interest not to exceed 0.50% per annum by issuing additional certificated new secured notes in a principal amount equal to the amount of such interest (such additional notes, "PIK notes"). Any PIK notes will be issued under the note purchase agreement on the same terms and conditions as the new secured notes issued on April 15, 2015.

Prepayments

        Voluntary prepayments of the new secured notes are permitted in whole or in part, in minimum amounts as set forth in the note purchase agreement, with prior notice and, prior to April 15, 2020, at a price equal to the principal amount repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase, plus the following premiums:

        In addition, prior to the first anniversary of the date of issuance of the new secured notes, the Company may prepay up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the new secured notes at a price equal to 103.5% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest in respect thereof.

        The above premiums will not apply to refinancings of the new secured notes made with the proceeds of any indebtedness incurred by the Company initially owed by the Company solely to CPPIB Credit Investments Inc. or any of its affiliates.

Collateral and Guarantees

        Subject to certain exceptions and subject to the terms of the security agreement entered into in connection with the note purchase agreement, the obligations under the new secured notes are secured by substantially all of the present and after acquired assets of each of Holdings, the Company and Holdings' direct and indirect wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries that are guarantors under the guaranty entered into in connection with the note purchase agreement, including (i) a perfected first priority pledge of all the capital stock of the Company and each domestic direct, wholly owned material restricted subsidiary held by Holdings, the Company or any of Holdings' direct and indirect wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries that are guarantors under the guaranty and (ii) a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of Holdings, the Company and any of Holdings' direct and indirect wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries that are guarantors under the guaranty (including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, investment property, real property, intellectual property and the proceeds of the foregoing).

The warrant expires on the sixth anniversary of the date of issuance. The number of shares issuable pursuant to the warrant and the warrant exercise price are subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, mergers and certain other events.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose of the Exchange Offer

        The exchange offer is designed to provide holders of the old notes with an opportunity to acquire exchange notes which, unlike the old notes, will be freely transferable at all times, subject to any restrictions on transfer imposed by state "blue sky" laws and provided that the holder is not our affiliate within the meaning of the Securities Act and represents that the exchange notes are being acquired in the ordinary course of the holder's business and the holder is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the exchange notes.

        The old notes were originally issued and sold on December 19, 2014, the issue date, to the initial purchasers, pursuant to the purchase agreement dated December 19, 2014. The old notes were issued and sold in a transaction not registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The subsequent resale of the old notes by the initial purchasers to investors was done in reliance upon the exemptions provided by Rule 144A and Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. The old notes may not be reoffered, resold or transferred other than (i) to us or our subsidiaries, (ii) to a qualified institutional buyer in compliance with Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, (iii) outside the United States to a non-U.S. person within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (iv) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (if available) or (v) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

        In connection with the original issuance and sale of the old notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the exchange by us of the exchange notes for the old notes, or the exchange offer. The registration rights agreement provides that we will file with the SEC an exchange offer registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act and offer to holders of the old notes who are able to make certain representations the opportunity to exchange their old notes for exchange notes.

        Under existing interpretations by the Staff of the SEC as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties in other transactions, the exchange notes would, in general, be freely transferable after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act; provided, however, that in the case of broker-dealers participating in the exchange offer, a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act must be delivered by such broker-dealers in connection with resales of the exchange notes. We have agreed to furnish a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act to any such broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any exchange notes acquired in the exchange offer. A broker-dealer that delivers such a prospectus to purchasers in connection with such resales will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act and will be bound by the provisions of the registration rights agreement (including certain indemnification rights and obligations).

        Each holder of the old notes that exchanges such old notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer will be deemed to have made certain representations, including representations that (i) any exchange notes to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of exchange notes and (iii) it is not our affiliate as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, or if it is an affiliate, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable.

        If the holder is not a broker-dealer, it will be required to represent that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of exchange notes. If the holder is a broker-dealer that will receive exchange notes for its own account in exchange for old notes that were acquired as a result

29


Table of Contents

of market-making activities or other trading activities, it will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes.

Terms of the Exchange Offer

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept any and all old notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. Subject to the minimum denomination requirements of the exchange notes, the exchange notes are being offered in exchange for a like principal amount of old notes. Old notes may be exchanged only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. Holders may tender all, some or none of their old notes pursuant to the exchange offer.

        The form and terms of the exchange notes will be identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the old notes except that (i) the exchange notes will be registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, will not bear legends restricting the transfer thereof and (ii) holders of the exchange notes will not be entitled to certain rights of holders of the old notes under and related to the registration rights agreement. The exchange notes will evidence the same debt as the old notes and will be entitled to the benefits of the indenture. The exchange notes will be treated as a single class under the indenture with any old notes that remain outstanding. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of old notes being tendered for exchange.

Expiration Date; Extensions; Termination; Amendments

        The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 4, 2015. We reserve the right to extend the exchange offer at our discretion, in which event the term "expiration date" shall mean the time and date on which the exchange offer as so extended shall expire. Any such extension will be communicated to the exchange agent either orally or in writing and will be followed promptly by a press release or other permitted means which will be made no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day immediately following the previously scheduled expiration date.

        We reserve the right to extend or terminate the exchange offer and not accept for exchange any old notes if any of the events set forth below under "—Conditions to the Exchange Offer" occur, and are not waived by us, by giving oral or written notice of such delay or termination to the exchange agent. See "—Conditions to the Exchange Offer."

        We also reserve the right to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner; provided, however, that if we amend the exchange offer in a manner that we determine constitutes a material or significant change, we will extend the exchange offer so that it remains open for a period of five to ten business days after such amendment is communicated to holders, depending upon the significance of the amendment.

        Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make a public announcement of any extension, termination or amendment of the exchange offer, we will comply with applicable securities laws by disclosing any such amendment by means of a prospectus supplement that we distribute to holders of the old notes. We will have no other obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement other than by making a timely release through any appropriate news agency.

Procedures for Tendering Old Notes

        Since the old notes are represented by global book-entry notes, DTC, as depositary, or its nominee is treated as the registered holder of the old notes and will be the only entity that can tender your old notes for exchange notes. Therefore, to tender old notes subject to the exchange offer and to obtain

30


Table of Contents

exchange notes, you must instruct the institution where you keep your old notes to tender your old notes on your behalf so that they are received prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.

        The letter of transmittal that accompanies this prospectus may be used by you to give such instructions.

        YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE AT THE BROKER OR BANK WHERE YOU KEEP YOUR OLD NOTES TO DETERMINE THE PREFERRED PROCEDURE.

        IF YOU WISH TO ACCEPT THE EXCHANGE OFFER, PLEASE INSTRUCT YOUR BROKER OR ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE IN TIME FOR YOUR OLD NOTES TO BE TENDERED BEFORE THE 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, DEADLINE ON DECEMBER 4, 2015.

        You may tender all, some or none of your old notes in the exchange offer. However, your old notes may be tendered only in integral multiples of $1,000.

        When you tender your old notes and we accept them, the tender will be a binding agreement between you and us in accordance with the terms and conditions in this prospectus.

        We will decide all questions about the validity, form, eligibility, acceptance and withdrawal of tendered old notes, and our reasonable determination will be final and binding on you. We reserve the absolute right to:

        Our reasonable interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer will be final and binding on all parties. You must cure any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of old notes as we will determine. Neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will incur any liability for failure to notify you of any defect or irregularity with respect to your tender of old notes. If we waive any terms or conditions pursuant to (iii) above with respect to a holder of the old notes, we will extend the same waiver to all holders of the old notes with respect to that term or condition being waived.

Deemed Representations

        To participate in the exchange offer, we require that you represent to us that:

31


Table of Contents


BY TENDERING YOUR OLD NOTES YOU ARE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE THESE REPRESENTATIONS.

        Broker-dealers who cannot make the representations in item (v) of the paragraph above cannot use the exchange offer prospectus in connection with resales of the exchange notes issued in the exchange offer.

        If you are our "affiliate," as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, if you are a broker-dealer who acquired your old notes in the initial offering and not as a result of market-making or trading activities, or if you are engaged in or intend to engage in or have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of exchange notes acquired in the exchange offer, you or that person:

Procedures for Brokers and Custodian Banks; DTC ATOP Account

        In order to accept the exchange offer on behalf of a holder of the old notes you must submit or cause your DTC participant to submit an Agent's Message as defined and described below.

        The exchange agent, on our behalf, will seek to establish an ATOP account with respect to the old notes at DTC promptly after the delivery of this prospectus. Any financial institution that is a DTC participant, including your broker or bank, may make book-entry tender of old notes by causing the book-entry transfer of such old notes into the ATOP account in accordance with DTC's procedures for such transfers. Concurrently with the delivery of old notes, an Agent's Message in connection with such book-entry transfer must be transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the exchange agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date, or the guaranteed delivery procedures described below must be complied with. The confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the ATOP account as described above is referred to herein as a "Book-Entry Confirmation."

        The term "Agent's Message" means a message transmitted by the DTC participants to DTC, and thereafter transmitted by DTC to the exchange agent, forming a part of the Book-Entry Confirmation which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC described in such Agent's Message stating that such participant and beneficial holder agree to be bound by the terms of the exchange offer.

        Each Agent's Message must include the following information:

32


Table of Contents

        BY SENDING AN AGENT'S MESSAGE THE DTC PARTICIPANT IS DEEMED TO HAVE CERTIFIED THAT THE BENEFICIAL HOLDER FOR WHOM OLD NOTES ARE BEING TENDERED HAS BEEN PROVIDED WITH A COPY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.

        The delivery of old notes through DTC, and any transmission of an Agent's Message through ATOP, is at the election and risk of the person tendering old notes. We will ask the exchange agent to instruct DTC to return those old notes, if any, that were tendered through ATOP but were not accepted by us, to the DTC participant that tendered such old notes on behalf of holders of the old notes.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

        If your certificates for old notes are not lost but are not immediately available or you cannot deliver your certificates and any other required documents to the exchange agent at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date, or you cannot complete the procedures for book-entry transfer at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date, you may nevertheless effect a tender of your old notes if:

Acceptance of Old Notes for Exchange; Delivery of Exchange Notes

        We will accept validly tendered old notes when the conditions to the exchange offer have been satisfied or we have waived them. We will have accepted your validly tendered old notes when we have given oral or written notice to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purpose of receiving the exchange notes from us. If we do not accept any old notes tendered for exchange by book-entry transfer because of an invalid tender or other valid reason, we will credit the old notes to an account maintained with DTC promptly after the exchange offer terminates or expires.

        THE AGENT'S MESSAGE MUST BE TRANSMITTED TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT BEFORE 5:00 PM, NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON THE EXPIRATION DATE.

Withdrawal Rights

        You may withdraw your tender of old notes at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

33


Table of Contents

        For a withdrawal to be effective, you should contact your bank or broker where your old notes are held and have them send an ATOP notice of withdrawal so that it is received by the exchange agent before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. Such notice of withdrawal must:

        We will decide all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of the notices and our reasonable determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any tendered old notes that you withdraw will not be considered to have been validly tendered. We will return any old notes that have been tendered but not exchanged, or credit them to the DTC account, promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender, or termination of the exchange offer. You may re-tender properly withdrawn old notes by following one of the procedures described above prior to the expiration date.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

        Notwithstanding any other provisions of the exchange offer, or any extension of the exchange offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue exchange notes in exchange for, any old notes and may terminate the exchange offer (whether or not any old notes have been accepted for exchange) or amend the exchange offer, if any of the following conditions has occurred or exists or has not been satisfied, or has not been waived by us in our sole reasonable discretion, prior to the expiration date:

the following has occurred:

34


Table of Contents

        If we determine in our sole reasonable discretion that any of the foregoing events or conditions has occurred or exists or has not been satisfied, we may, subject to applicable law, terminate the exchange offer (whether or not any old notes have been accepted for exchange) or waive any such condition or otherwise amend the terms of the exchange offer in any respect. If such waiver or amendment constitutes a material change to the exchange offer, we will promptly disclose such waiver or amendment by means of a prospectus supplement that will be distributed to the registered holders of the old notes and will extend the exchange offer to the extent required by Rule 14e-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

        These conditions are for our sole benefit and we may assert them regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any of these conditions, or we may waive them, in whole or in part, in our sole reasonable discretion, provided that we will not waive any condition with respect to an individual

35

holder of the old notes unless we waive that condition for all such holders. Any reasonable determination made by us concerning an event, development or circumstance described or referred to above will be final and binding on all parties.

Fees and Expenses

        We have not retained any dealer-manager or similar agent in connection with the exchange offer. We will not make any payment to brokers, dealers or others for soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. However, we will pay the reasonable and customary fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses to the exchange agent in connection therewith. We will also pay the cash expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offer, including accounting, legal, printing, and related fees and expenses.

        We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of old notes pursuant to the exchange offer. The tendering holder, however, will be required to pay any transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or on any other person, if:

36


Table of Contents

        If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder.

Accounting Treatment

        The exchange notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the old notes, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchange. Accordingly, we will recognize no gain or loss for accounting purposes upon the closing of the exchange offer. The expenses of the exchange offer will be expensed as incurred.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

        Upon consummation of the exchange offer, certain rights under and related to the registration rights agreement, including registration rights and the right to receive the contingent increases in the interest rate, will terminate. The old notes that are not exchanged for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer will remain restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Accordingly, such old notes may be resold only (i) to us or our subsidiaries, (ii) to a qualified institutional buyer in compliance with Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, (iii) outside the United States to a non-U.S. person within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (iv) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (if available) or (v) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. The liquidity of the old notes could be adversely affected by the exchange offer.

DESCRIPTION OF EXCHANGE NOTES

        In this description, the term "Issuer," "we," "our" and "us" refers to Everi Payments Inc. (formerly known as Global Cash Access, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, and not to any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, and references to the "notes" are to the exchange notes, unless the context otherwise requires.

        The Issuer issued the old notes and will issue the exchange notes pursuant to an indenture dated as of December 19, 2014, as modified by a supplemental indenture dated as of December 19, 2014, among the Issuer, the Guarantors party thereto and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee and collateral agent (the "Trustee"), and a second supplemental indenture dated as of August 4, 2015, among the Issuer, the Guarantors party thereto and the Trustee (collectively, the "indenture"). The form and terms of the old notes and the exchange notes are identical in all material respects except that the exchange notes will have been registered under the Securities Act. See "The Exchange Offer—Purpose of the Exchange Offer" and "The Exchange Offer—Terms of the Exchange Offer." The terms of the notes include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act").

        The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture. It does not restate the indenture in its entirety. We urge you to read the form of notes and indenture because they, and not this description, define your rights as holders of the notes ("Holders"). You may obtain a copy of the form of notes and indenture as described under "Where You Can Find More Information."

        You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under "—Certain Definitions." Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined in this "Description of Exchange Notes" including under "—Certain Definitions," have the meanings assigned to them in the indenture.

        The registered Holder of a note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered Holders will have rights under the indenture.

Brief Description of the Exchange Notes

        The notes will be:

        See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Indebtedness and the Exchange Notes—Your right to receive payments on the unsecured notes and the guarantees is effectively subordinated to our and the guarantors' secured indebtedness."

38


Table of Contents

Brief Description of the Note Guarantees

        The notes will be guaranteed by Holdings, each existing Significant Subsidiary of Holdings (other than the Issuer), and, subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, any new Significant Subsidiary of Holdings.

        The guarantees of the notes will be:

        The Note Guarantees will be full and unconditional, joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee will contain a net worth limitation to reduce the risk that a Note Guarantee would constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law.

        As of the date hereof, each Subsidiary of Holdings (other than the Issuer) will be a "Restricted Subsidiary." Under the circumstances described below under the caption "—Certain Covenants—Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries," we will be permitted to designate certain Subsidiaries as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries." Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the indenture and will not guarantee the notes.

        As of the date hereof, each Significant Subsidiary of Holdings (other than the Issuer) will guarantee the notes. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any non-guarantor subsidiaries, such non-guarantor subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debt and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us.

        As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately $830.0 million of secured debt outstanding. In addition, we had $50.0 million of availability under the Credit Facilities. All amounts under the Credit Facilities and the New Secured Notes are effectively senior to the notes to the extent of the collateral securing the Credit Facilities and the New Secured Notes. As of June 30, 2015, Holdings' non-guarantor subsidiaries represented approximately 1.7% of our total consolidated assets. In addition, as of June 30, 2015, the non-guarantor subsidiaries had $15.9 million of debt that was structurally senior to the notes.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

        The Issuer will issue $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of notes in the exchange offer. The Issuer may issue additional notes under the indenture from time to time after the exchange offer. Any issuance of additional notes is subject of all of the covenants in the indenture, including the covenant described below under the caption "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock." The old notes, the exchange notes and any additional notes subsequently issued under the indenture will be treated as a single class for all

Table of Contents

purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. It is possible, however, that any such additional notes will not be treated as part of the same issue for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may trade under a separate CUSIP number. The Issuer will issue notes in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The notes will mature on January 15, 2022.

        Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of 10.00% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15, commencing on July 15, 2015. The Issuer will make each interest payment to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of record on the immediately preceding January 1 and July 1. Interest on overdue principal and interest will accrue at a rate that is 1% higher than the then applicable interest rate on the notes.

        Interest on the notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes

        The Issuer will make, or cause to be made, payments in respect of the notes represented by the Global Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder of the Global Notes. All other payments on notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar within the City and State of New York unless the Issuer elects to make payments by check mailed to the Holders at their address set forth in the register of Holders. Principal and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or paying agent holds money sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due.

Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Notes

        The Trustee will initially act as paying agent, transfer agent and registrar. The Issuer may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the notes, and the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.

Transfer and Exchange

        A Holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the indenture. The registrar, transfer agent and the Trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. The Issuer is not required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption. Also, the Issuer is not required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of fifteen days before a selection of notes to be redeemed.

Subsidiaries Providing Note Guarantees

        The notes will be initially guaranteed by Holdings, each existing Significant Subsidiary of Holdings (other than the Issuer), and, subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, any new Significant Subsidiary. The Note Guarantees will be joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee will contain a net worth limitation to reduce the risk that a Note Guarantee would constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and the Exchange Notes—Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from guarantors."

        A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Issuer or another Guarantor, unless:

        The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:

        See "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales; Event of Loss."

Optional Redemption

        At any time prior to January 15, 2018, the Issuer may, upon not less than 30 but not more than 60 days' prior written notice mailed by first class mail to each Holder's registered address (with a copy to the Trustee), on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the indenture at a redemption price of 110% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings; provided that:

        At any time prior to January 15, 2018, the Issuer may also redeem all or a part of the notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior written notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder's registered address (with a copy to the Trustee), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal

Table of Contents

amount of notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of the date of redemption, and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of notes on any relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

        Additionally, so long as any notes are held by any Initial Purchaser or any affiliate of an Initial Purchaser (other than asset management affiliates that purchased the notes in the ordinary course of business as part of a regular distribution of the notes, and excluding notes acquired pursuant to bona fide open market purchases from third parties or market making activities), the Issuer may, at its option, upon notice as described under the heading "—Selection and Notice," on one or more occasions redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding the redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

        Except pursuant to the three preceding paragraphs and as described below under "—Mandatory Disposition or Redemption Pursuant to Gaming Laws," the notes will not be redeemable prior to January 15, 2018.

        On or after January 15, 2018, the Issuer may redeem all or part of the notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of notes on any relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on January 15 of the years indicated below:

Mandatory Redemption

        The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes.

Mandatory Disposition or Redemption Pursuant to Gaming Laws

        If a Holder or beneficial owner of a note is required to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable Gaming Laws and is not so licensed, qualified or found suitable within any time period specified by the applicable Gaming Authority, the Holder shall be obligated, at the request of the Issuer, to dispose of such Holder's notes within a time period prescribed by the Issuer or such other time period prescribed by such Gaming Authority (in which event the Issuer's obligation to pay any interest after the receipt of such notice shall be limited as provided in such Gaming Laws). Thereafter, the Issuer shall have the right to redeem, on the date fixed by the Issuer for the redemption of such notes, such Holder's notes at a redemption price (to be calculated by the Issuer) equal to the lesser of (1) the lowest closing sale price of the notes on any trading day during the 120-day period ending on the date upon which the Issuer shall have received notice from a Gaming Authority of such Holder's disqualification or (2) the price at which such Holder or beneficial owner acquired the notes, unless a different redemption price is required by such Gaming Authority, in which event such required price shall be the redemption price. The Issuer is not required to pay or reimburse any Holder or beneficial owner of a note for the costs of licensure, qualification or finding of suitability or investigation for such licensure, qualification or finding of suitability. Any Holder or beneficial

42


Table of Contents

owner of a note required to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable Gaming Laws must pay all investigative fees and costs of the Gaming Authorities in connection with such licensure, qualification, finding of suitability or application therefor.

Repurchase at the Option of Holders

Change of Control

        If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of that Holder's notes pursuant to a change of control offer on the terms set forth in the indenture (the "Change of Control Offer"). In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will offer a change of control payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes repurchased, to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control Payment"). On or before the 30th day following any Change of Control, the Issuer will send a written notice (which notice may be conditional) to each Holder (with a copy to the Trustee) stating, among other things:

        A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the transaction giving rise to the Change of Control at the time of the making of the Change of Control Offer. In addition, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and such third party purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

        The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the indenture by virtue of such conflict.

43


Table of Contents

        On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:

        The paying agent will promptly mail to each Holder of notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such notes, and the Trustee will, upon receipt of an authentication order, promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.

        The provisions described above that require the Issuer to make a Change of Control Offer in connection with a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders of the notes to require that the Issuer repurchase or redeem the notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

        There can be no assurance that the Issuer will be able to fund any repurchase of the notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. The Credit Facilities or the Issuer's future credit facilities or other agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Issuer may contain prohibitions or restrictions on the Issuer's ability to effect such a repurchase. In the event a Change of Control Offer is mandated at a time when such prohibitions or restrictions are in effect, the Issuer could seek the consent of its lenders to the purchase of notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If the Issuer does not obtain such a consent or repay such borrowings, the Issuer will be effectively prohibited from purchasing notes. In such case, the Issuer's failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default under the indenture. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and the Exchange Notes—We may not be able to purchase the unsecured notes upon a change of control or pursuant to an asset sale offer."

        The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the sale, lease, conveyance or other transfer of "all or substantially all" of the Property of the Issuer, determined on a consolidated basis. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a Holder of notes to require the Issuer to repurchase its notes as a result of a sale, lease, conveyance or other transfer of less than all of the assets of the Issuer, determined on a consolidated basis, to another Person or group may be uncertain.

        Prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, the provisions under the indenture relating to the Issuer's obligation to make an offer to purchase the notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes.

Asset Sales; Event of Loss

        Other than upon an Event of Loss, Holdings and the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale after the Merger Date, unless:

        The definition of "Asset Sale" and "Event of Loss" each exclude, among other things, any single transaction or series of related transactions that involve assets having a Fair Market Value of $10.0 million or less and therefore Holdings, the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries may dispose of assets or suffer an Event of Loss with significant value without restrictions under this covenant.

        Upon an Event of Loss incurred by Holdings, the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, the Net Proceeds received from such Event of Loss shall be applied in the same manner as proceeds from Asset Sales described below and pursuant to the procedures set forth below.

        Within 360 days after the receipt of the Net Proceeds of an Asset Sale or Event of Loss, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale or Event of Loss may be applied by Holdings, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary:

45


Table of Contents

provided, however, that if Holdings, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary contractually commits within such 360-day period to apply such Net Proceeds within 180 days of such contractual commitment in accordance with the above clause (1) or (2), and such Net Proceeds are subsequently applied as contemplated in such contractual commitment, then the requirement for application of Net Proceeds set forth in this paragraph shall be considered satisfied.

        Any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale or Event of Loss that are not used in accordance with the preceding paragraph shall constitute "Excess Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase (the "Prepayment Offer"), on a pro rata basis, from all Holders of the notes, and, at the election of the Issuer, the holders of any other outstanding Pari Passu Indebtedness containing comparable repurchase rights, an aggregate principal amount of notes and, if applicable, such other Pari Passu Indebtedness equal to the Excess Proceeds, at a price in cash at least equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest in accordance with the procedures summarized herein and set forth in the indenture. To the extent that any portion of the Excess Proceeds remains after compliance with the preceding sentence and provided that all Holders have been given the opportunity to tender the notes for repurchase in accordance with the indenture, Holdings, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may use such remaining amount for general corporate purposes or the repurchase of Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the notes or the Note Guarantee if required to be repurchased pursuant to their respective terms and the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero. Pending application of Net Proceeds pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) above, such Net Proceeds will be invested in Temporary Cash Investments or used to temporarily repay Pari Passu Indebtedness that is revolving Indebtedness.

        Within 15 business days after the amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the Issuer shall send a prepayment offer notice, by first- class mail, to the Holders, accompanied by such information regarding the Issuer and its Subsidiaries as the Issuer in good faith believes will enable such Holders to make an informed decision with respect to the Prepayment Offer. The prepayment offer notice will state, among other things:

        The Credit Facilities, future credit agreements or other agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Issuer may contain prohibitions or restrictions on the Issuer's ability to effect a Prepayment Offer. If the Issuer is required to make a Prepayment Offer at a time when any such prohibitions or restrictions are in effect, the Issuer could seek the consent of its lenders to the purchase of notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. In such case, if the Issuer does not obtain such a consent or repay such borrowings, the Issuer will be effectively prohibited from purchasing notes

46


Table of Contents

and the Issuer's failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default under the indenture.

        The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of notes as a result of a Prepayment Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions relating to the Prepayment Offer, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the indenture by virtue of such conflict.

Selection and Notice

        If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee will select notes to be redeemed or purchased among the holders of the notes, as applicable, that are subject to redemption or purchase, by lot unless otherwise required by law; provided that as long as DTC serves as the depository for a Global Note, any redemption shall comply with DTC's procedural requirements with respect to such note.

        No notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address (with a copy to the Trustee), except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the indenture.

        If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that note will state the portion of the principal amount of that note that is to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original note (so long as such amount is in a denomination of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) will be issued in the name of the Holder of notes upon cancellation of the original note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest ceases to accrue on notes or portions of them called for redemption.

        In connection with any redemption of the notes (including any redemption described under "—Optional Redemption"), any such redemption may, at the Issuer's discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including any related Public Equity Offering or a Change of Control. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer's discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed.

Certain Covenants

Limitation on Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock

        Holdings and the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur any Indebtedness or issue any Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock; provided, however, that Holdings, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Indebtedness or issue Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Holdings' Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would exceed 2.0 to 1.0, after giving effect to:

47


Table of Contents

provided that Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors may only incur Indebtedness or issue any Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock to the extent such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred and outstanding under this paragraph by such Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors does not exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate at any time.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, Holdings, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as specified below, may Incur the following Indebtedness:

48


Table of Contents

        For purposes of determining compliance with the "Limitation on Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock" covenant, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described in clauses (1) through (12) above, or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Issuer will be permitted to (a) classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its Incurrence in any manner that complies with this covenant and (b) divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (12) above or as Incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant. The Issuer may reclassify such Indebtedness from time to time in its sole discretion and may classify any item of Indebtedness in part under one or more of the categories described in clauses (1) through (12) above and/or in part as Indebtedness entitled to be Incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indebtedness outstanding under the

49


Table of Contents

Credit Facility on the Merger Date initially will be deemed to have been Incurred on such date under clause (3) of the preceding paragraph, and may not later be reclassified.

        Accrual of interest, the accretion of principal amount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness, fair value adjustments to the amount of Indebtedness and the payment of dividends in the form of additional Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, in each case will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this covenant. The Issuer may rely on internal or publicly reported financial reports even though there may be subsequent adjustments (including review and audit adjustments) to such financial statements. For the avoidance of doubt, any Incurrence of Indebtedness which is based upon or made in reliance on a computation based on such internal or publicly reported financial statements shall be deemed to continue to comply with the applicable covenant, notwithstanding any subsequent adjustments that may result in changes to such internal or publicly reported financial statements.

        Holdings and the Issuer shall not Incur, and shall not permit any Guarantor to Incur, any Indebtedness (including any Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (12) of the second paragraph hereof) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Holdings, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Holdings, the Issuer or any Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis.

Limitation on Restricted Payments

        Holdings and the Issuer shall not make, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to make, any Restricted Payment if at the time of, and after giving effect to, such proposed Restricted Payment:

Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries

        Nothing contained in this covenant shall prevent Holdings, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from granting any Lien permitted by the covenant described above under the caption "—Limitation on Liens."

Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates

        Holdings and the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, conduct any business or enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of transactions (including the purchase, sale, transfer, lease or exchange of any Property, the making of any Investment, the giving of any Guarantee or the rendering or receiving of any service) with, from or for the benefit of any Affiliate, any Related Person or any officer or director of any Affiliate or a Related Person involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million (an "Affiliate Transaction") unless:

        Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, Holdings, the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into or suffer to exist the following:

Limitation on Status as an Investment Company

        Holdings and the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, become an "investment company" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), to the extent such status would subject such Person or any of its Subsidiaries to regulation under the Investment Company Act, except for Subsidiaries established for the purpose of financing the operating businesses of Holdings and its Subsidiaries.

54


Table of Contents

Payment for Consent

        Holdings and the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the indenture or the notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets

        Holdings and the Issuer shall not merge or consolidate with or into any other entity (other than a merger or consolidation of a Restricted Subsidiary with or into Holdings or the Issuer) or in one transaction or a series of related transactions sell, convey, assign, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its Property unless:

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were permitted.

Business Activities

        Holdings and the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than a Related Business, except to such extent as would not be material to Holdings, the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

55


Table of Contents

Additional Note Guarantees

        If Holdings, the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates a Significant Subsidiary, or any non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary becomes a Significant Subsidiary after the Issue Date, then such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture and deliver an Opinion of Counsel satisfying the requirements of the indenture within 30 days following the date on which it was acquired, created or otherwise became a Significant Subsidiary (or such longer period as may be required to obtain any necessary approvals under applicable Gaming Laws or other regulatory requirements). Any Subsidiary that does not constitute a Significant Subsidiary need not become a Guarantor unless and until such time as it becomes a Significant Subsidiary. Holdings and the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all approvals of any Gaming Authority necessary to permit any Significant Subsidiary to become a Guarantor as promptly as practicable.

Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries

        The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary and any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that:

        If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by Holdings, the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the covenant described above under the caption "—Limitation on Restricted Payments" or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investment, as determined by the Issuer. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the requirements to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

        Any designation of a Subsidiary of Holdings as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officers' Certificate certifying that (1) such designation complied with the preceding conditions and (2) was permitted by the covenant described above under the caption "—Limitation on Restricted Payments" and giving the effective date of such designation, such filing with the Trustee to occur within 75 days after the end of the fiscal quarter of the Issuer in which such designation is made (or, in the case of a designation made during the last fiscal quarter of the fiscal year, within 120 days after the end of such fiscal year). If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of the indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under the covenant described under the caption "—Limitation on Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock," the Issuer will be in default of such covenant.

        The Board of Directors may at any time designate, or redesignate, any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation, or redesignation, will be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation, or redesignation, will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under the covenant described under the caption "—Limitation on

56


Table of Contents

Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock," calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Reference Period and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation or redesignation.

Reports

        Whether or not required by the Commission, so long as any notes are outstanding, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee and the Holders of notes, within 15 days after the applicable time periods specified in the Commission's rules and regulations:

        All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with the information requirements applicable to such reports. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Issuer be required to furnish any disclosure, information, certificates or reports required by Items 307, 308, 402 or 601(b)(31) and (32) of Regulation S-K or Rules 3-10 or 3-16 of Regulation S-X. The Issuer will post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs on its website within the time periods that would apply if the Issuer were required to file those reports with the Commission.

Events of Default and Remedies

        Each of the following is an "Event of Default":

        A Default under clauses (5) or (6) above is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes notify the Issuer of the Default; provided that any Default under clause (5) above resulting from a default or acceleration with respect to Indebtedness will not be considered an Event of Default if such default or acceleration is cured or annulled, respectively, within 30 days of the receipt by the Issuer of the abovementioned notice of Default from the Trustee or Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes.

        The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers' Certificate of any Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuer and/or any Guarantor are taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

        The indenture provides that the Trustee, within 90 days after the occurrence of any continuing Default or Event of Default that is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, will give notice to the Holders; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in payment of principal of or interest on the notes, the Trustee may withhold such notice as long as it in good faith determines that such withholding is in the interest of the Holders.

Table of Contents

Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding may accelerate the maturity of all the notes by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee, if given by the Holders) specifying the Event of Default and that it is a "notice of acceleration" and on the fifth business day after delivery of such notice, the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and premium if any, on all of the notes then outstanding will become immediately due and payable. In case an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization described in clause (7) above shall occur, the notes shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders.

        The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain limitations specified in the indenture.

        The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes (including any additional notes, if any) voting in a single class by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the indenture, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the notes.

        No Holder will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless:

        However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder for enforcement of payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on such Holder's note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such note (including in connection with an offer to purchase).

In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events with respect to the Issuer) described under "—Events of Default and Remedies" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes.

        The consent of the Holders of the notes is not necessary under the indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.

        After an amendment, supplement, or waiver of the indenture becomes effective, the Issuer is required to mail to the Holders of notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. However, the failure to give such notice to all Holders of notes, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemented indenture or waiver.

        In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Concerning the Trustee

        If the Trustee becomes a creditor of the Issuer or any Guarantor, the indenture limits its right to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue or resign.

        The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The indenture provides that in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any Holder of notes, unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM

General

        Except as set forth below, the exchange notes will be issued in registered, global form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

        The exchange notes will be represented by one or more notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the "Global Notes"). The Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with the trustee as custodian for DTC, in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, in each case, for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below. Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for definitive notes in registered certificated form ("Certificated Notes") except in the limited circumstances described below. See "—Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes." Except in the limited circumstances described below, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form. In addition, transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect participants (including, if applicable, those of Euroclear System ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking, S.A. ("Clearstream") (as indirect participants in DTC)), which may change from time to time.

Depository Procedures

        The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. The Company takes no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urges investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

        DTC has advised the Company that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the "Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between the Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the initial purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the "Indirect Participants"). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.

        DTC has also advised the Company that, pursuant to procedures established by it, ownership of these interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership of these interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interest in the Global Notes).

        All interests in a Global Note, including those held through Euroclear or Clearstream, may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. Those interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream may also be subject to the procedures and requirements of such systems. The laws of some states require that certain persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such persons will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of the Participants, which in turn act on

85


Table of Contents

behalf of the Indirect Participants, the ability of a person having beneficial interests in a Global Note to pledge such interests to persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests.

        Except as described below, owners of interests in the Global Notes will not have exchange notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of exchange notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or "holders" thereof under the indenture for any purpose.

        Payments in respect of the principal of, premium on, if any, interest and additional interest, if any, on a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered holder under the indenture. Under the terms of the indenture, the Company and the trustee will treat the persons in whose names the exchange notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners of the exchange notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither the Company, the trustee nor any agent of the Company or the trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

        DTC has advised the Company that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the exchange notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of exchange notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the trustee or the Company. Neither the Company nor the trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of the Participants or the Indirect Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the exchange notes, and the Company and the trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.

        Transfers between the Participants will be effected in accordance with DTC's procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds, and transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

        Cross-market transfers between the Participants, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC's rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by their respective depositaries; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant Global Note in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositaries for Euroclear or Clearstream.

        DTC has advised the Company that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of exchange notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited

86


Table of Contents

the interests in the Global Notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the exchange notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an event of default under the exchange notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for exchange notes in certificated form, and to distribute such notes to its Participants.

        Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among participants in DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to perform such procedures, and may discontinue such procedures at any time. None of the Company, the trustee and any of their respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes

        A Global Note is exchangeable for Certificated Notes if:

        In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for Certificated Notes upon prior written notice given to the trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with the indenture. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in Global Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures).

Same Day Settlement and Payment

        The Company will make payments in respect of the exchange notes represented by the Global Notes, including principal, premium, if any, interest and additional interest, if any, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC or its nominee. The Company will make all payments of principal, premium, if any, interest and additional interest, if any, with respect to Certificated Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holders of the Certificated Notes or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such holder's registered address. The exchange notes represented by the Global Notes are expected to be eligible to trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such exchange notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. The Company expects that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

        Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a Participant will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. DTC has advised the Company that cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a Global Note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream participant to a Participant will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC's settlement date.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

        The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the exchange of old notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer. It does not contain a complete analysis of all of the potential tax consequences relating to the exchange. This summary is limited to holders of the old notes who hold the old notes as "capital assets" (in general, assets held for investment). Special situations, such as the following, are not addressed:

        We recommend that each holder consult its own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences of exchanging old notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer, including the applicability and effect of any state, local or non-U.S. tax law.

        The discussion below is based upon the provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, existing and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and rulings, judicial decisions and administrative interpretations thereunder, as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below.

Consequences of Exchanging Old Notes for Exchange Notes

        The exchange of old notes for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer should not be a taxable event to tendering holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Consequently, holders should not recognize gain or loss upon receipt of an exchange note, the holding period of the exchange note should include the holding period of the old note exchanged therefor and the basis of the exchange note should be the same as the basis of the old note immediately before the exchange.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for old notes where such old notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the expiration of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resales. In addition, until February 2, 2016 (90 days after the date of this prospectus), all broker-dealers effecting transactions in the exchange notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.

        We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of exchange notes by broker-dealers. Exchange notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the exchange notes or a combination of such methods of resale. These resales may be made at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such exchange notes. Any broker-dealer that resells exchange notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such exchange notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on any such resale of exchange notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal delivered with this prospectus states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

        For a period of 180 days after the expiration of the exchange offer, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the performance of our obligations in connection with the exchange offer. We will indemnify the holders of the exchange notes (including any broker-dealer) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
