TJX has two $500 million revolving credit facilities, one which matures in March 2022 and one which matures in May 2024. Subsequent to May 4, 2019, the Company amended the two agreements to reflect the impact of implementing the new lease accounting standard under ASC 842. For additional information about the implementation of ASC 842, see Leases within Note A— Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, the maturity date for one of the revolving credit facilities was extended from March 2020 to May 2024.

As of May 4, 2019, the terms and covenants under the revolving credit facilities require quarterly payments of 6.0 basis points per annum on the committed amounts for both agreements. This rate is based on the credit ratings of TJX’s long-term debt and will vary with specified changes in the credit ratings. These agreements have no compensating balance requirements and have various covenants. Each of these facilities require TJX to maintain a ratio of funded debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and consolidated rentals (EBITDAR) of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 on a rolling four-quarter basis. TJX was in compliance with all covenants related to its credit facilities at the end of all periods presented. As of May 4, 2019, February 2, 2019 and May 5, 2018, and during the quarters and year then ended, there were no amounts outstanding under these facilities.
