| DEBT | 7. DEBT: The Company’s debt and finance lease obligations at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 consisted of (in thousands):
Amounts due within one year of the balance sheet date consist of amortization payments for the term loan B of 1.0% of the refinanced $293.5 million principal balance and amortization payments for the OEG term loan of approximately 1.0% of the refinanced $428.5 million principal balance. At June 30, 2026, there were no defaults under the covenants related to the Company’s outstanding debt. $850 Million Revolving Credit Facility On January 28, 2026, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which amended the Company’s existing credit agreement to, among other things, increase the maximum borrowing capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) from $700.0 million to $850.0 million, remove the “SOFR Adjustment” applicable to borrowings under the Revolver, extend the maturity date of the Revolver to January 28, 2030 and modify certain financial covenants applicable to the Revolver. $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes due 2034 On March 11, 2026, the Operating Partnership and RHP Finance Corporation (collectively, the “issuing subsidiaries”) completed the private placement of $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% senior notes due 2034 (the “$700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes”), which are guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Agreement. The $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes and guarantees were issued pursuant to an indenture by and among the issuing subsidiaries, the guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes have a maturity date of March 15, 2034 and bear interest at 5.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on March 15 and September 15 each year, beginning on September 15, 2026. The $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes are general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the issuing subsidiaries and rank equal in right of payment with such subsidiaries’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including the Company’s $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes due 2028, $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due 2029, $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior notes due 2032, and $625 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior notes due 2033, and senior in right of payment to future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to the issuing subsidiaries’ secured indebtedness, including the Operating Partnership’s existing credit facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with the applicable guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of such guarantor. The $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of any guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes. The net proceeds from the issuance of the $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes totaled approximately $687 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts, commissions and offering expenses. The Company used these net proceeds, together with cash on hand, to redeem in full the Company’s former $700 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes originally due 2027. The $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes are redeemable before March 15, 2029, in whole or in part, at 100.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a make-whole premium. The $700 Million 5.75% Senior Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 15, 2029 at a redemption price expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof, which percentage is 102.875%, 101.438%, and 100.000% beginning on March 15 of 2029, 2030, and 2031, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. |
