In April 2020, given the rapidly changing environment and level of uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated impact on future earnings, TJX completed the issuance and sale of (a) $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.500% notes due 2025, (b) $750 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 million aggregate principal amount of 4.500% notes due 2050. Interest on these notes are payable semi-annually. In December 2020, TJX accepted $1.12 billion in aggregate principal amount of certain of its notes issued in April 2020 pursuant to cash tender offers as foll ows: $365 million of the 2050 Notes and $754 million of the 2030 Notes. TJX paid $1.42 billion aggregate consideration in connection with the tender offers (including transaction costs) and recorded a $0.3 billion pre-tax loss on the early extinguishment for the accepted notes. In November 2020, TJX completed the issuance of (a) $500 million aggregate principal amount of 1.150% notes due 2028 and (b) $500 million aggregate principal amount of 1.600% notes due 2031. Cash proceeds, net of discounts and other issuance costs, were $990 million. Interest on the 2028 and 2031 Notes is payable semi-annually beginning May 2021. TJX used the net proceeds from the offering of the 2028 and 2031 Notes to partially fund the purchase of the accepted notes from its December 2020 tender offers. At January 30, 2021, TJX had outstanding $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.250% ten-year notes due September 2026 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.500% ten-year notes due May 2023. TJX entered into a rate-lock agreement to hedge $700 million of the 2.250% notes and $250 million of the 2.500% notes prior to their issuance. The cost of these agreements are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes resulting in an effective fixed rate of 2.36% for the 2.25% notes and 2.57% for the 2.50% notes. At January 30, 2021, TJX also had outstanding $750 million aggregate principal amount of 2.750% seven-year notes due June 2021. TJX also entered into rate-lock agreements to hedge the underlying treasury rate of all of the 2.750% notes prior to their issuance. The agreements were accounted for as cash flow hedges and the pre-tax realized loss of $8 million was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes, resulting in an effective fixed interest rate of 2.91%. At January 30, 2021, TJX had a $500 million 364 Day Revolving Credit Facility that matures in August 2021 (the “364-Day Revolving Credit Facility”), a $500 million revolving credit facility that matures in March 2022 (the “2022 Revolving Credit Facility”), and a $500 million revolving credit facility that matures in May 2024 (the “2024 Revolving Credit Facility”). Under these credit facilities, TJX has borrowing capacity of $1.5 billion, all of which remains available to the Company. I n July 2020, TJX paid off the $1 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 TJX’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 January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, 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 TJX 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 for the four fiscal quarter period then ended (a “Test Period”), with an incremental 0.50 stepdown each Test Period thereafter, until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 when the new covenant of 3.50 to 1.00 permanently applies. In addition, TJX is required to maintain a minimum liquidity of at least $1.5 billion through the period ending April 30, 2021, and a minimum EBITDAR of $650 million for the fiscal quarter ending January 30, 2021. TJX was in compliance with all covenants related to its credit facilities at the end of all periods presented. As of January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, TJX Canada had two uncommitted credit lines, a C$10 million facility for operating expenses and a C$10 million letter of credit facility. As of January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, and during the years then ended, there were no amounts outstanding on the Canadian credit line for operating expenses. As of January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, and during the years then ended, our European business at TJX International had an uncommitted credit line of £5 million. As of January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, there were no amounts outstanding on the European credit line.
