(a)The carrying value of the 3.750% Senior Notes is presented net of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount of $1.6 million and $2.3 million as of April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, respectively. (b)The carrying value of the 1.700% Senior Notes is presented net of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount of $0.2 million as of April 2, 2022. (c)The carrying value of the 2.950% Senior Notes is presented net of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount of $9.9 million and $11.2 million as of April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, respectively. Senior Notes In August 2018, the Company completed a registered public debt offering and issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes due September 15, 2025, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.750%, payable semi-annually (the "3.750% Senior Notes"). The 3.750% Senior Notes were issued at a price equal to 99.521% of their principal amount. The proceeds from this offering were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of the Company's previously outstanding $300 million principal amount of 2.125% unsecured senior notes that matured September 26, 2018. In June 2020, the Company completed another registered public debt offering and issued an additional $500 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes that were due and repaid on June 15, 2022 with cash on hand, which bore interest at a fixed rate of 1.700%, payable semi-annually (the "1.700% Senior Notes"), and $750 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes due June 15, 2030, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.950%, payable semi-annually (the "2.950% Senior Notes"). The 1.700% Senior Notes and 2.950% Senior Notes were issued at prices equal to 99.880% and 98.995% of their principal amounts, respectively. The proceeds from these offerings were used for general corporate purposes, which included the repayment of $475 million previously outstanding under the Company's Global Credit Facility (as defined below) on June 3, 2020 and repayment of its previously outstanding $300 million principal amount of 2.625% unsecured senior notes that matured August 18, 2020. The Company has the option to redeem the 3.750% Senior Notes and 2.950% Senior Notes (collectively, the "Senior Notes"), in whole or in part, at any time at a price equal to accrued and unpaid interest on the redemption date plus the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the series of Senior Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present value of Remaining Scheduled Payments, as defined in the supplemental indentures governing such Senior Notes (together with the indenture governing the Senior Notes, the "Indenture"). The Indenture contains certain covenants that restrict the Company's ability, subject to specified exceptions, to incur certain liens; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; consolidate or merge with another party; or sell, lease, or convey all or substantially all of the Company's property or assets to another party. However, the Indenture does not contain any financial covenants. Commercial Paper The Company has a commercial paper borrowing program that allows it to issue up to $500 million of unsecured commercial paper notes through private placement using third-party broker-dealers (the "Commercial Paper Program"). Borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program are supported by the Global Credit Facility (as defined below). Accordingly, the Company does not expect combined borrowings outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program and Global Credit Facility to exceed $500 million. Commercial Paper Program borrowings may be used to support the Company's general working capital and corporate needs. Maturities of commercial paper notes vary, but cannot exceed 397 days from the date of issuance. Commercial paper notes issued under the Commercial Paper Program rank equally in seniority with the Company's other forms of unsecured indebtedness. As of both April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program. Revolving Credit Facilities Global Credit Facility In August 2019, the Company replaced its then existing credit facility and entered into a new credit facility that provides for a $500 million senior unsecured revolving line of credit through August 12, 2024 (the "Global Credit Facility") under terms and conditions substantially similar to those of the previous facility. The Global Credit Facility is also used to support the issuance of letters of credit and maintenance of the Commercial Paper Program. Borrowings under the Global Credit Facility may be denominated in U.S. Dollars and certain other currencies, including Euros, Hong Kong Dollars, and Japanese Yen, and are guaranteed by all of the Company's domestic significant subsidiaries. In accordance with the terms of the agreement governing the Global Credit Facility, the Company has the ability to expand its borrowing availability under the Global Credit Facility to $1 billion, subject to the agreement of one or more new or existing lenders under the facility to increase their commitments. There are no mandatory reductions in borrowing ability throughout the term of the Global Credit Facility. Under the Global Credit Facility as originally implemented, U.S. Dollar-denominated borrowings bore interest, at the Company's option, either at (a) a base rate, by reference to the greatest of: (i) the annual prime commercial lending rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in effect from time to time, (ii) the weighted-average overnight Federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, or (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 100 basis points; or (b) LIBOR, adjusted for the Federal Reserve Board's Eurocurrency liabilities maximum reserve percentage, plus a spread of 75 basis points, subject to adjustment based on the Company's credit ratings ("Adjusted LIBOR"). Foreign currency-denominated borrowings bore interest at Adjusted LIBOR. In addition to paying interest on any outstanding borrowings under the Global Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the Global Credit Facility relating to the unutilized commitments. The current commitment fee rate of 9 basis points is subject to adjustment based on the Company's credit ratings. Certain of these provisions were amended in January 2022 and March 2022, as discussed further below. The Global Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict the Company's ability, subject to specified exceptions, to incur additional debt; incur liens; sell or dispose of assets; merge with or acquire other companies; liquidate or dissolve itself; engage in businesses that are not in a related line of business; make loans, advances, or guarantees; engage in transactions with affiliates; and make certain investments. The Global Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain a maximum ratio of Adjusted Debt to Consolidated EBITDAR (the "leverage ratio") of no greater than 4.25 as of the date of measurement for the four most recent consecutive fiscal quarters. Adjusted Debt is defined generally as consolidated debt outstanding, including finance lease obligations, plus all operating lease obligations. Consolidated EBITDAR is defined generally as consolidated net income plus (i) income tax expense, (ii) net interest expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iv) operating lease cost, (v) restructuring and other non-recurring expenses, and (vi) acquisition-related costs. Certain of these requirements were temporarily amended in May 2020, as discussed below. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company entered into an amendment of its Global Credit Facility in May 2020 (the "Amendment"), which among its various provisions (as described in Note 11 of the Fiscal 2021 10-K), temporarily waived its leverage ratio requirement and imposed certain restrictions, including but not limited to, the amount of dividends and distributions on, or purchases, redemptions, repurchases, retirements or acquisitions of, the Company's stock. Subsequently, in November 2021, all terms and conditions reverted back to the original credit facility agreement upon the Company satisfying certain requirements stipulated in the Amendment. In 2020 and 2021, it was publicly announced that LIBOR rates would cease to be published for U.S. Dollars on June 30, 2023 and for Euros, Japanese Yen, and certain other currencies on December 31, 2021. The U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies jointly recommended that banks cease entering into new contracts using LIBOR as a reference rate as soon as practicable but by no later than December 31, 2021, and that new contracts entered into prior to December 31, 2021 should either use a reference rate other than LIBOR or include effective fallback language with a clearly-defined alternative reference rate effective upon the discontinuation of LIBOR. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee, which is a group of private-market participants convened by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to help ensure a successful transition from LIBOR, recommended the Secured Overnight Financing Rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("SOFR") as the alternative to LIBOR. As a result of the cessation of LIBOR, in January 2022 the Company entered into a second amendment of its Global Credit Facility (the "Second Amendment"). Under the Second Amendment, alternate rates of interest were provided for specific Eurocurrency borrowings. Eurocurrency borrowings denominated in Euros now bear interest based on the Adjusted Euro Interbank Offered Rate, those denominated in Japanese Yen now bear interest based on the Adjusted Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate and those denominated in Hong Kong Dollars now bear interest based on the Adjusted Hong Kong Dollar Interbank Offered Rate, as each such term is defined in the Global Credit Facility as amended by the Second Amendment. In March 2022, the Company entered into a third amendment of its Global Credit Facility (the "Third Amendment"). Under the Third Amendment, an alternative rate of interest to the LIBOR rate was established for U.S. Dollar-denominated borrowings. U.S. Dollar-denominated borrowings now bear interest based on, at the Company's option, either (a) a base rate, determined by reference to the greatest of: (i) the prime commercial lending rate as quoted in the Wall Street Journal in effect from time to time; (ii) the greater of the rate comprised of both overnight federal funds and overnight eurodollar transactions or the rate calculated based on federal funds transactions by depositary institutions, in either case determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 50 basis points; or (iii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, as such term is defined in the Global Credit Facility as amended by the Third Amendment, for one-month plus 100 basis points, (b) the Term SOFR Rate, as such term is defined in the Global Credit Facility as amended by the Third Amendment, plus 10 basis points or (c) a rate equal to the Daily Simple SOFR Rate, as such term is defined in the Global Credit Facility, as amended by the Third Amendment, plus 10 basis points. The Third Amendment also added provisions to the Global Credit Facility to address possible future situations in which a reference rate for determining a relevant interest rate under the Global Credit Facility is no longer available or representative. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Global Credit Facility, the lenders may cease making loans, terminate the Global Credit Facility, and declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. The Global Credit Facility specifies a number of events of default (many of which are subject to applicable grace periods), including, among others, the failure to make timely principal, interest, and fee payments or to satisfy the covenants, including the financial covenant described above. Additionally, the Global Credit Facility provides that an Event of Default will occur if Mr. Ralph Lauren, the Company's Executive Chairman and Chief Creative Officer, and entities controlled by the Lauren family fail to maintain a specified minimum percentage of the voting power of the Company's common stock. As of April 1, 2023, no Event of Default (as such term is defined pursuant to the Global Credit Facility) has occurred under the Company's Global Credit Facility. In March 2020, the Company borrowed $475.0 million under the Global Credit Facility as a preemptive action to preserve cash and strengthen its liquidity position in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which was subsequently repaid in June 2020. As of both April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Global Credit Facility. However, the Company was contingently liable for $11.9 million and $9.5 million of outstanding letters of credit as of April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, respectively. Pan-Asia Borrowing Facilities Certain of the Company's subsidiaries in Asia have uncommitted credit facilities with regional branches of JPMorgan Chase in China and South Korea (the "Pan-Asia Credit Facilities"). Additionally, the Company's Japan and China subsidiaries have uncommitted overdraft facilities with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and HSBC Bank Company Limited, respectively, (the "Pan-Asia Overdraft Facilities"). The Pan-Asia Credit Facilities and the Pan-Asia Overdraft Facilities (collectively, the "Pan-Asia Borrowing Facilities") are subject to annual renewal and may be used to fund general working capital needs of the Company's operations in the respective countries. Borrowings under the Pan-Asia Borrowing Facilities are guaranteed by the parent company and are granted at the sole discretion of the respective banks, subject to availability of the banks' funds and satisfaction of certain regulatory requirements. The Pan-Asia Borrowing Facilities do not contain any financial covenants. A summary of the Company's Pan-Asia Borrowing Facilities by country is as follows: •China Credit Facility — provides Ralph Lauren Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. with a revolving line of credit of up to 100 million Chinese Renminbi (approximately $14 million) through April 3, 2024, which is also able to be used to support bank guarantees. •South Korea Credit Facility — provides Ralph Lauren (Korea) Ltd. with a revolving line of credit of up to 30 billion South Korean Won (approximately $23 million) through October 27, 2023. •Japan Overdraft Facility — provides Ralph Lauren Corporation Japan with an overdraft amount of up to 5 billion Japanese Yen (approximately $38 million) through April 30, 2024. •China Overdraft Facility — provides Ralph Lauren Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. with an overdraft amount of up to 100 million Chinese Renminbi (approximately $14 million) through June 17, 2023. As of both April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Pan-Asia Borrowing Facilities.
