("AGS" or the "Company") (NYSE: AGS) today announced that it has completed the repricing of its existing $513 million term loans under its First Lien Credit Agreement (the "Term Loans"). The Term Loans were repriced from 550 basis points to 425 basis points over LIBOR. The LIBOR floor remains at 100 basis points.
