Commitments

On April 28, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of the TOM FORD brand. The amount paid by the Company at closing was approximately $2,250 million. This amount was funded by cash on hand and proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper, and approximately $250 million received at closing from Marcolin S.p.A. (a continuing TOM FORD licensee). An aggregate amount of $300 million, at 5% interest per annum, to the sellers becomes due from the Company beginning in July 2025. The completion of the acquisition of the brand resulted in the elimination of future license royalty payments on the Company's TOM FORD Beauty business.

In January 2023, the Company entered into a $2,000 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on January 2, 2024 (the “364-Day Facility”) for liquidity support for the Company's commercial paper program and general corporate purposes, of which the entire amount is currently undrawn and available. Interest rates on borrowings under the 364-Day Facility will be based on prevailing market interest rates in accordance with the agreement. The costs incurred to establish the 364-Day Facility were not material. The 364-Day Facility has an annual fee of approximately $0.6 million, payable quarterly, based on the Company’s current credit ratings. The 364-Day Facility contains a cross-default provision whereby a failure to pay other material financial obligations in excess of $175 million (after grace periods and absent a waiver from the lenders) would result in an event of default and the acceleration of the maturity of any outstanding debt under this facility.
In January 2023, in connection with the 364-Day Facility, the Company increased its commercial paper program under which it may issue commercial paper in the United States from $2,500 million to $4,500 million. As of March 31, 2023 and April 26, 2023, the Company had $2,250 million and $3,410 million, respectively, outstanding under its commercial paper program.
Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved, from time to time, in litigation and other legal proceedings incidental to its business, including product liability matters (including asbestos-related claims), advertising, regulatory, employment, intellectual property, real estate, environmental, trade relations, tax, and privacy. Management believes that the outcome of current litigation and legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, management’s assessment of the Company’s current litigation and other legal proceedings could change in light of the discovery of facts with respect to legal actions or other proceedings pending against the Company not presently known to the Company or determinations by judges, juries or other finders of fact which are not in accord with management’s evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or proceedings. Reasonably possible losses in addition to the amounts accrued for such litigation and legal proceedings are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
