Senior Revolving Credit Facility
The Company’s credit facility (the “2018 Credit Facility”) provides for a $1 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which may be denominated in United States dollars. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides sub-facilities for the issuance of letters of credit of up to $75 million and swing loans of up to $75 million. The 2018 Credit Facility also provides for a $1.6 billion term loan facility (the “2018 Term Loan Facility”). The 2018 Term Loan Facility is divided into two tranches, with the second tranche maturing in December 2023, which requires a quarterly payment of $24 million. As of March 27, 2021, the Company has fully paid off the first tranche of the 2018 Term Loan Facility.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, for loans denominated in United States 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;
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.
On June 25, 2020, the Company entered into the second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its third amended and restated 2018 Credit Facility, dated as of November 15, 2018, with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”).
Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the financial covenant in the Company’s 2018 Credit Facility required it to maintain a ratio of the sum of total indebtedness plus the capitalized amount of all operating lease obligations for the last four fiscal quarters to Consolidated EBITDAR of no greater than 3.75 to 1.0 had been waived through the fiscal quarter ending June 26, 2021.
In addition, the Second Amendment added a new $230 million revolving line of credit with a maturity date of June 24, 2021 (the “364 Day Facility”).
The Second Amendment also permitted certain working capital facilities between the Company or any of its subsidiaries with a lender or an affiliate of a lender under the 2018 Credit Facility to be guaranteed under the 2018 Credit Facility guarantees and certain supply chain financings with, and up to $50 million outstanding principal amount of bilateral letters of credit and bilateral bank guarantees issued by a lender or an affiliate of a lender to be guaranteed and secured under the 2018 Credit Facility guarantees and collateral documents. The Second Amendment, among other things, also temporarily suspended the quarterly maximum leverage ratio covenant and imposed a minimum liquidity test during the period from June 25, 2020 until the earlier of (x) the date on which the Company delivers its financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending June 26, 2021 and (y) the date on which the Company certifies that its net leverage ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter was no greater than 4.00 to 1.00 (the “Applicable Period”).
On May 20, 2021, the Company determined it no longer desired to maintain this additional line of credit and consequently delivered a notice to the Administrative Agent terminating the 364 Day Facility, and the 364 Day Facility terminated on May 25, 2021. The remainder of the 2018 Credit Facility remains in full force and effect.
On May 26, 2021 (the “Election Date”), the Company delivered to the Administrative Agent the certificate required to terminate the Applicable Period. Effective as of the Election Date, the Company will be required to comply with the quarterly maximum net leverage ratio test of 4.00 to 1.00.
On September 23, 2021, the Company agreed to suspend its rights to borrow in all non-United States dollar (i.e. Pounds Sterling, Euro, Swiss Francs and Japanese Yen) currency LIBOR rate tenors under the 2018 Credit Facility after December 31, 2021 given that non-United States dollar LIBOR will no longer be published after that date.
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 Canadian Dollar Offered Rate.
As per the reinstatement election date of May 27, 2021, the Company will be required to comply with the quarterly maximum net leverage ratio test of 4.00 to 1.00. Such leverage ratio is calculated based on the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness plus the capitalized amount of all operating lease liabilities presented on our consolidated balance sheets 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 April 2, 2022 and the date these financial statements were issued, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the 2018 Credit Facility.
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.
As of April 2, 2022, the Company had $175 million of borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, which were recorded within long-term debt in its consolidated balance sheets. As of March 27, 2021, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, stand-by letters of credit of $21 million and $27 million were outstanding as of April 2, 2022 and March 27, 2021, respectively. At April 2, 2022 and March 27, 2021, the amount available for future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility were $804 million and $973 million, respectively.
As of March 27, 2021, the Company had $230 million available for future borrowings under the 364 Day Facility, which was terminated as of May 25, 2021.
As of April 2, 2022, the carrying values of borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan Facility were $495 million, net of debt issuance costs of $2 million, which was all recorded within long-term debt in its consolidated balance sheets due to prepayments made on the Term Loan during Fiscal 2022. As of March 27, 2021, the carrying values of borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan Facility were $865 million, net of debt issuance costs of $5 million, $97 million of which was recorded within short-term debt while $768 million was recorded within long-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Senior Notes
On October 20, 2017, Michael Kors (USA), Inc. (the “Issuer”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, completed its offering of $450 million aggregate principal amount senior notes due in 2024 (the “Senior Notes”), pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Senior Notes were issued under an indenture dated October 20, 2017, among the Issuer, the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Senior Notes were issued to finance a portion of the Company’s acquisition of Jimmy Choo and certain related refinancing transactions.
As of April 2, 2022, the Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.500% per year, subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P (or a substitute rating agency therefore) downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the Senior Notes. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2018. See Note 20 for additional information.
The Senior Notes are unsecured and are guaranteed by the Company and its existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee or are borrowers under the 2018 Credit Facility (subject to certain exceptions, including subsidiaries organized in China). The Senior Notes may be redeemed at the Company’s option at any time in whole or in part at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a “make-whole” amount calculated at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points.
The Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuer’s and guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness, effectively subordinated in right of payment to any of the Company’s subsidiaries’ obligations and any of the Company’s secured obligations, to the extent of the assets securing such obligations.
The Indenture contains covenants, including those that limit the Company’s ability to create certain liens and enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions. In the event of a “Change of Control Triggering Event,” as defined in the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes being repurchased plus any unpaid interest. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions, as per the Indenture.
As of April 2, 2022 and March 27, 2021, the carrying value of the Senior Notes was $448 million and $447 million, respectively, net of issuance costs and unamortized discount, which were recorded within long-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Supplier Financing Program
During the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company began offering a supplier financing program to certain suppliers as the Company continues to identify opportunities to improve liquidity. This program enables suppliers, at their sole discretion, to sell their receivables (i.e., the Company’s payment obligations to suppliers) to a financial institution on a non-recourse basis in order to be paid earlier than current payment terms provide. The Company’s obligations, including the amount due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by a suppliers’ decision to participate in this program. The Company does not reimburse suppliers for any costs they incur to participate in the program and their participation is voluntary. The amount outstanding under this program as of April 2, 2022 and March 27, 2021 was $21 million and $17 million, respectively and is presented as short-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
