On April 1, 2020, given the rapidly changing environment and level of uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated impact on future earnings, the Company completed the issuance and sale of (a) $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.500% notes due 2025, (b) $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.750% notes due 2027, (c) $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.875% notes due 2030 and (d) $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.500% notes due 2050, all of which was outstanding at October 31, 2020. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, on November 18, 2020, in order to refinance a portion of the notes issued on April 1, 2020, the Company simultaneously commenced cash tender offers (collectively the “Tender Offer”) to repurchase up to $750.0 million combined aggregate principal amount of certain of its existing notes and commenced a notes offering pursuant to which, on November 30, 2020, it issued (a) $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.150% notes due 2028 and (b) $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.600% notes due 2031 to fund, in whole or in part, the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer will expire on December 16, 2020 at 11:59 pm New York City time, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company. The early tender deadline is December 2, 2020 at 5:00 pm New York City time, unless extended or early terminated by the Company. For additional information on these transactions, see Note M—Subsequent Events. During the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2020, TJX had a $500.0 million revolving credit facility that matures in March 2022 (the “2022 Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility that matures in May 2024 (the “2024 Revolving Credit Facility”) and, on August 10, 2020, the Company increased its borrowing capacity with a $500 million 364 day revolving credit facility (the “364-Day Revolving Credit Facility”). Under these credit facilities, the Company has borrowing capacity of $1.5 billion, all of which remains available to the Company. I n July 2020, t he Company paid off the $1.0 billion it had drawn down on the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility and 2024 Revolving Credit Facility during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The six month interest rate on these borrowings was 1.757% through May 15, 2020, and increased to 2.007% through the payoff date. The terms of these revolving credit facilities require quarterly payments on the committed amount and payment of interest on borrowings at rates based on LIBOR or a base rate plus a variable margin, in each case based on the Company’s long term debt ratings. The 2022 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility require usages fees based on total credit extensions under such facilities. As of October 31, 2020, February 1, 2020 and November 2, 2019, and during the quarter and year then ended, there were no amounts outstanding under these facilities. Beginning with the fiscal quarter ending May 1, 2021, the terms and covenants under the revolving credit facilities require the Company to maintain a quarterly-tested leverage ratio of funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and rentals (“EBITDAR”) of not more than 5.00 to 1.00, with an incremental 0.50 stepdown each quarter thereafter, until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 when the new covenant of 3.50 to 1.00 permanently applies. In addition, the Company is required to maintain a minimum liquidity, defined as unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and aggregate borrowing availability under the 2022 revolving credit facility and the 2024 revolving credit facility plus, under the 364 Day Revolving Credit Facility, borrowing ability under that facility, of at least $1.5 billion through the period ending April 30, 2021, as well as minimum EBITDAR of $650.0 million for the fiscal quarter ending January 30, 2021.
