Senior Unsecured Notes
On June 4, 2021, the Company completed make-whole calls for its $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.500% Notes maturing in 2025, and its $750 million aggregate principal amount of 3.750% Notes maturing in 2027, which 3.500% Notes and 3.750% Notes were originally issued and sold on April 1, 2020. The Notes redeemed via make-whole calls were issued in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of these redemptions prior to their scheduled maturities, the Company recorded a pre-tax debt extinguishment charge of $242 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
On April 15, 2021, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding $750 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2.750% Notes due June 15, 2021 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
On April 1, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company issued and sold $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Notes due 2030 and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Notes due 2050, portions of which were subsequently repurchased pursuant to cash tender offers completed by the Company in December 2020, reducing the aggregate principal amount outstanding to $495.5 million and $385.0 million, respectively. Interest on these notes is payable semi-annually. 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. Interest on these notes is payable semi-annually.
As of January 29, 2022, 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 is 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.
Credit Facilities
On June 25, 2021, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement providing for a $1 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing on June 25, 2026 (the “2026 Revolving Credit Facility”). The 2026 Revolving Credit Facility replaced the Company's $500 million revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature in March 2022 (the “2022 Revolving Credit Facility”), and the $500 million 364 revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature in August 2021 (the “364-Day Revolving Credit Facility”). Each of the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility and the 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility were terminated on June 25, 2021. With the 2026 Revolving Credit Facility and the Company’s existing $500 million revolving credit facility that matures in May 2024 (the “2024 Revolving Credit Facility”), the Company maintained borrowing capacity of $1.5 billion. 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 2024 Revolving Credit Facility requires usage fees based on total credit extensions under the facility. As of January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under these facilities. Each of these facilities require TJX to maintain a ratio of funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and rentals (EBITDAR) of not more than 3.50 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 January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, 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 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, and during the years then ended, there were no amounts outstanding on the Canadian credit line for operating expenses. As of January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, and during the years then ended, the Company’s European business at TJX International had an uncommitted credit line of £5 million. As of January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding on the European credit line.
