Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On November 15, 2018, the Company entered into a third amended and restated senior unsecured credit facility (the “2018 Credit Facility”) with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, which replaced its prior 2017 senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2017 Credit Facility”). The Company and its U.S., Canadian, Dutch and Swiss subsidiaries are the borrowers under the 2018 Credit Facility. The borrowers and certain material subsidiaries of the Company provide unsecured guarantees of the 2018 Credit Facility. The 2018 Credit Facility provides for a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which may be denominated in U.S. Dollars and other currencies, including Euros, Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen and Swiss Francs. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides sub-facilities for the issuance of letters of credit of up to $75.0 million and swing line loans of up to $75.0 million. The 2018 Credit Facility also provides for a $1.6 billion term loan facility (the “2018 Term Loan Facility”) to finance a portion of the purchase price of the Company’s acquisition of Versace. The 2018 Term Loan Facility is divided into two tranches, an $800.0 million tranche that matures on the second anniversary of the initial borrowing of the term loans and an $800.0 million tranche that matures on the fifth anniversary of the initial borrowing of the term loans. The $800.0 million tranche that matures on the fifth anniversary is required to be repaid on the last business day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing after the last business day of the first full fiscal quarter after the initial borrowing, in installments equal to 2.50% of the aggregate original principal amount of the term loans. The Company has the right to prepay its borrowings under the 2018 Term Loan Facility at any time in whole or in part. The Revolving Credit Facility expires on November 15, 2023. The Company has the ability to expand its borrowing availability under the 2018 Credit Facility in the form of revolving commitments or term loans by up to an additional $500.0 million, subject to the agreement of the participating lenders and certain other customary conditions.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at the following rates:


•	for any loans (except loans denominated in Canadian Dollars), the greater of Adjusted LIBOR for the applicable interest period and zero, plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s public debt rating;

•

for loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, an alternate base rate, which is the greatest of: (a) the prime rate publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase, (b) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York overnight bank funding rate and zero, plus 50 basis points, and (c) the greater of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities (“Adjusted LIBOR”) and zero, plus 100 basis points, in each case, plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s public debt ratings;


•	for loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian prime rate, which is the greater of the PRIMCAN Index rate and the rate applicable to one-month Canadian Dollar banker’s acceptances quoted on Reuters (“CDOR”), plus 100 basis points, plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s public debt ratings; or


•	for loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, the average CDOR rate for the applicable interest period, plus 10 basis points per annum, plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s public debt ratings.

Borrowings under the 2018 Term Loan Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at (a) the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s public debt ratings; or (b) the greater of Adjusted LIBOR for the applicable interest period and zero, plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s public debt ratings.

The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for an annual administration fee and a commitment fee equal to 0.10% to 0.25% per annum, based on the Company’s public debt ratings, applied to the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility. The 2018 Term Loan Facility provides for a commitment fee equal to 0.10% to 0.25% per annum, based on the Company’s public debt ratings, applied to the undrawn amount of the 2018 Term Loan Facility, from January 6, 2019 until the term loans are fully drawn or the commitments under the 2018 Term Loan Facility terminate or expire. Loans under the 2018 Credit Facility may be repaid and commitments may be terminated or reduced by the borrowers without premium or penalty other than the customary breakage costs with respect to loans bearing interest based on Adjusted LIBOR or the CDOR rate.

The 2018 Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a leverage ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter of no greater than 3.75 to 1. Such leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of the sum of total indebtedness as of the date of the measurement plus six times the consolidated rent expense for the last four consecutive fiscal quarters, to Consolidated EBITDAR (as defined below) for the last four consecutive fiscal quarters. Consolidated EBITDAR is defined as consolidated net income plus income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, consolidated rent expense and other non-cash charges, subject to certain additions and deductions. The 2018 Credit Facility also includes covenants that limit additional indebtedness, guarantees, liens, acquisitions and other investments and cash dividends that are customary for financings of this type. As of December 29, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to this agreement.

The 2018 Credit Facility contains events of default customary for financings of this type, including, but not limited to, payment of defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, certain events under The Employee Retirement Income Security Act, material judgments, actual or asserted failure of any guaranty supporting the 2018 Credit Facility to be in full force and effect, and changes of control. If such an event of default occurs, the lenders under the 2018 Credit Facility would be entitled to take various actions, including, but not limited to, terminating the commitments and accelerating amounts outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility, subject to “certain funds” limitations in connection with the transaction governing the 2018 Term Loan Facility.

In connection with the acquisition of Versace, on December 21, 2018 the Company borrowed $1.6 billion in term loans under the 2018 Term Loan Facility and $350.0 million under its $1.0 billion Revolving Credit Facility provided for under the 2018 Credit Facility, to pay a portion of the acquisition consideration and other related fees and expenses. As of December 29, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the Company had borrowings of $500.0 million and $200.0 million outstanding under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility and its prior 2017 Revolving Credit Facility, respectively, which were recorded within short-term debt in its consolidated balance sheets. In addition, stand-by letters of credit of $17.0 million were outstanding as of December 29, 2018. At December 29, 2018, the amount available for future borrowings under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility was $483.0 million. As of December 29, 2018, the carrying value of borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan Facility was $1.588 billion, net of debt issuance costs of $11.9 million, of which $79.4 million was recorded within short-term debt and $1.509 billion was recorded within long-term debt in its consolidated balance sheets.
