Credit Facility

On January 8, 2018, we amended and extended our credit facility which provides for a $500,000,000 unsecured revolving line of credit (“revolver”) and a $300,000,000 unsecured term loan facility (“term loan”). The revolver may be used to borrow revolving loans or request the issuance of letters of credit. We may, upon notice to the administrative agent, request existing or new lenders to increase the revolver by up to $250,000,000, at such lenders’ option, to provide for a total of $750,000,000 of unsecured revolving credit. The revolver matures on January 8, 2023, at which time all outstanding borrowings must be repaid and all outstanding letters of credit must be cash collateralized. We may, prior to the first and second anniversaries of the closing date of the amendment of the credit facility, elect to extend the maturity date for an additional year, subject to lender approval. Costs incurred in connection with the amendment and extension of the revolver are presented as an asset in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

During fiscal 2017, we had borrowings of $170,000,000 under the revolver (at a weighted average interest rate of 2.21%), all of which were repaid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, and no amounts were outstanding as of January 28, 2018. During fiscal 2016, we had borrowings of $125,000,000 under the revolver (at a weighted average interest rate of 1.54%), all of which were repaid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, and no amounts were outstanding as of January 29, 2017. Additionally, as of January 28, 2018, $12,780,000 in issued but undrawn standby letters of credit were outstanding under the revolver. The standby letters of credit were issued to secure the liabilities associated with workers’ compensation and other insurance programs.

As of January 28, 2018, we had $300,000,000 outstanding under our term loan (at a weighted average interest rate of 2.68%). The term loan matures on January 8, 2021, at which time all outstanding principal and any accrued interest must be repaid. Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the term loan are presented as a reduction to the carrying value of the debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The interest rate under the credit facility is variable, and may be elected by us as: (i) the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin based on our leverage ratio ranging from 0.91% to 1.775% for a revolver borrowing, and 1.0% to 2.0% for the term loan; or (ii) a base rate as defined in the credit facility, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0% to 0.775% for a revolver borrowing, and 0% to 1% for the term loan.

As of January 28, 2018, we were in compliance with our covenants under the credit facility and, based on current projections, we expect to remain in compliance throughout fiscal 2018.

Letter of Credit Facilities

We have three unsecured letter of credit reimbursement facilities for a total of $70,000,000, each of which matures on August 25, 2018. The letter of credit facilities contain covenants that are consistent with our credit facility. Interest on unreimbursed amounts under the letter of credit facilities accrues at a base rate as defined in the credit facility, plus a margin based on our leverage ratio. As of January 28, 2018, an aggregate of $6,721,000 was outstanding under the letter of credit facilities, which represents only a future commitment to fund inventory purchases to which we had not taken legal title. The latest expiration possible for any future letters of credit issued under the facilities is January 22, 2019.
