Seasonal Financing | Seasonal Financing On December 20, 2017, Mattel, Inc. entered into a syndicated facility agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"), as a borrower thereunder (in such capacity, the "Borrower"), along with certain of the Borrower's other subsidiaries as additional borrowers and/or guarantors thereunder, providing for $1.60 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior secured revolving credit facilities (the "senior secured revolving credit facilities"), consisting of (i) an asset based lending facility with aggregate commitments of $1.31 billion, subject to borrowing base capacity, secured by substantially all of the accounts receivable and inventory of the Borrower and its subsidiaries who are borrowers and/or guarantors under the Credit Agreement, as well as (ii) a revolving credit facility with $294.0 million in aggregate commitments secured by certain fixed assets and intellectual property and various equity interests in the borrower and guarantor subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement. The senior secured revolving credit facilities will mature on June 1, 2021. Borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facilities (i) are limited by jurisdiction-specific borrowing base calculations based on the sum of specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and certain fixed assets and intellectual property, as applicable, minus the amount of any applicable reserves, and (ii) bear interest at a floating rate, which can be either, at the Borrower's option, (a) an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 3.00% per annum or (b) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 2.00% per annum, in each case, such applicable margins to be determined based on the Borrower's average borrowing availability remaining under the senior secured revolving credit facilities. In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the senior secured revolving credit facilities, the Borrower is required to pay (i) an unused line fee per annum of the average daily unused portion of the senior secured revolving credit facilities, (ii) a letter of credit fronting fee based on a percentage of the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit, and (iii) certain other customary fees and expenses of the lenders and agents. Mattel had borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facilities of approximately $230 million and $275 million as of September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively, and had no borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facilities as of December 31, 2018. Outstanding letters of credit under the senior secured revolving credit facilities totaled approximately $65 million, $81 million, and $89 million as of September 30, 2019, September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the Borrower's and its subsidiaries' ability to merge and consolidate with other companies, incur indebtedness, grant liens or security interests on assets, make acquisitions, loans, advances, or investments, pay dividends, sell or otherwise transfer assets outside of the ordinary course, optionally prepay or modify terms of any junior indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliates, or change their line of business. The Credit Agreement requires the maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter when excess availability under the senior secured revolving credit facilities is less than the greater of (x) $100 million and (y) 10% of the aggregate amount available thereunder (the "Availability Threshold") and on the last day of each subsequent fiscal quarter ending thereafter until no event of default exists and excess availability is greater than the Availability Threshold for at least 30 consecutive days. Since the execution of the Credit Agreement, the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant has not been in effect as no event of default has occurred and as Mattel's excess availability has been greater than $100 million and the Availability Threshold. As of September 30, 2019, Mattel was in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is a material agreement, and failure to comply with the covenants may result in an event of default under the terms of the senior secured revolving credit facilities. If Mattel were to default under the terms of the senior secured revolving credit facilities, its ability to meet its seasonal financing requirements could be adversely affected.
