September 2019 Accel Entertainment – Investor Presentation Exhibit 99.1


SLIDE 2

Use of Projections This presentation contains financial forecasts prepared by TPG Pace Holdings Corp. (“Pace”) with respect to certain financial metrics of Accel Entertainment, Inc. (“Accel”), including, but not limited to, revenues (gaming, other, and gross), gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, net debt, net leverage, capital expenditures, M&A, organic revenue, EBITDA margin, unlevered P/E, levered P/E, FCF, and P/E. Neither Pace’s independent auditors, nor the independent registered public accounting firm of Accel, audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. These financial forecasts and projections were prepared by Pace and not by the management of Accel, and these financial forecasts and projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. Neither Pace nor Accel undertakes any commitment to update or revise the projections, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. In this presentation, certain of the above-mentioned projected information has been repeated (in each case, with an indication that the information is an estimate and is subject to the qualifications presented herein), for purposes of providing comparisons with historical data. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective forecasts are indicative of the future performance of Pace or Accel or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved. Forward-Looking Statements This presentation includes “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "forecast," "intend," "seek," "target," “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan,” “outlook,” and “project” and other similar expressions (or negative versions of such words or expressions) that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Such forward-looking statements include projected financial information. Such forward-looking statements with respect to revenues, earnings, performance, strategies, synergies, prospects, and other aspects of the businesses of Pace, Accel, or the combined company after completion of any proposed business combination are based on currently available information and current expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the proposed business combination; (2) the risk that the proposed business combination disrupts current plans and operations of Accel or its subsidiaries or Pace as a result of the announcement and consummation of the business combination; (3) the inability to complete the transactions contemplated by the proposed business combination; (4) the inability to complete the proposed private placements as set forth in subscription agreements between Pace and certain investors; (5) the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, and the ability of the combined business to grow and manage growth profitably; (6) the inability to successfully retain or recruits officers, key employees, or directors following the proposed business combination; (7) effects on Pace's public securities' liquidity and trading; (8) the market's reaction to the proposed business combination; (9) the inability to meet the NYSE's listing standards following the consummation of the proposed business combination; (10) the lack of a market for Pace's securities; (11) Pace's and Accel's financial performance following the proposed business combination; (12) costs related to the proposed business combination; (13) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (14) the possibility that Pace or Accel may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and (15) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in documents filed or to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") by Pace.  Accordingly, forward-looking statements, including any projections or analysis, should not be viewed as factual and should not be relied upon as an accurate prediction of future results. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on Pace and the Accel. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control), or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Prospectus filed by Pace with the SEC and those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Pace’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC, as well as Pace’s other filings with the SEC. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Accordingly, you should not put undue reliance on these statements. Industry and Market Data In this presentation, Pace and Accel rely on and refer to information and statistics regarding market shares in the sectors in which Accel competes and other industry data. Pace and Accel obtained this information and statistics from third-party sources, including reports by market research firms. Pace and Accel have supplemented this information where necessary with information from discussions with Accel’s customers and their own internal estimates, taking into account publicly available information about other industry participants and Accel’s management’s best view as to information that is not publicly available. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow, unlevered Free Cash Flow, P/E, ROIC, and net leverage. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as revenue less gaming taxes, revenue sharing, direct operating expenses, and SG&A expenses (including anticipated public company costs). Free cash flow (FCF) is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA less total capital expenditures. Accel’s Adjusted Net Income is adjusted for tax-effected route amortization expense and used for P/E ratios. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Accel’s financial condition and results of operations. Pace believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, and therefore the non-GAAP measures of Accel included in this presentation may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
