Term Loans As a precautionary measure to ensure financial flexibility and maintain maximum liquidity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company entered into term loans with certain banks primarily in Europe during fiscal 2021. These loans are primarily unsecured, have remaining terms of approximately two years and incur interest at annual rates ranging between 1.3% to 3.8%. As of October 29, 2022 and January 29, 2022, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $29.0 million and $48.3 million under these borrowing arrangements, respectively. Finance Lease Obligations During fiscal 2018, the Company relocated its European distribution center to the Netherlands. The finance lease primarily provides for monthly minimum lease payments through May 2027 with an effective interest rate of approximately 6%. The Company has also entered into finance leases for equipment used in its European distribution centers. These finance lease obligations totaled $15.3 million and $19.6 million as of October 29, 2022 and January 29, 2022, respectively. The Company also has smaller finance leases related primarily to computer hardware and software. As of October 29, 2022 and January 29, 2022, these finance lease obligations totaled $5.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively. Mortgage Debt During fiscal 2017, the Company entered into a ten-year $21.5 million real estate secured loan (the “Mortgage Debt”) which is secured by the Company’s U.S. distribution center based in Louisville, Kentucky. The Mortgage Debt requires the Company to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio on a trailing four-quarter basis if consolidated cash, cash equivalents, short-term investment balances and availability under borrowing arrangements fall below certain levels. In addition, the Mortgage Debt contains customary covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company’s ability to incur liens on the mortgaged property and enter into certain contractual obligations. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Mortgage Debt, the lender may terminate the Mortgage Debt and declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. The Mortgage Debt specifies a number of events of default (some of which are subject to applicable grace or cure periods), including, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults and material judgment defaults. Credit Facilities 2021 Credit Facility During fiscal 2021, the Company entered into an amendment of its senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. and other lenders (as amended, the “2021 Credit Facility”). The 2021 Credit Facility provides for a borrowing capacity in an amount up to $120 million, including a Canadian sub-facility up to $20 million, subject to a borrowing base. Based on applicable accounts receivable and inventory balances as of October 29, 2022, the Company could have borrowed up to $110 million under the 2021 Credit Facility. The 2021 Credit Facility has an option to expand the borrowing capacity by up to $180 million subject to certain terms and conditions, including the willingness of existing or new lenders to assume such increased amount. The 2021 Credit Facility is available for direct borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit, subject to certain letters of credit sublimits, and may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As of October 29, 2022, the Company had $9.6 million in outstanding standby letters of credit, no outstanding documentary letters of credit and no outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facility. As of January 29, 2022, the Company had $10.1 million in outstanding standby letters of credit, no outstanding documentary letters of credit and no outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facility. The 2021 Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio on a trailing four-quarter basis if a default or an event of default occurs under the 2021 Credit Facility or generally if borrowings exceed 80% of the borrowing base. In addition, the 2021 Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to: incur liens, incur indebtedness, make investments, dispose of assets, make certain restricted payments, merge or consolidate and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the 2021 Credit Facility, the lenders may cease making loans, terminate the 2021 Credit Facility and declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. The 2021 Credit Facility specifies a number of events of default (some of which are subject to applicable grace or cure periods), including, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, and material judgment defaults. The 2021 Credit Facility allows for both secured and unsecured borrowings outside of the 2021 Credit Facility up to specified amounts. Long-Term 2022 Credit Facility On May 5, 2022, Guess Europe Sagl, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a €250 million revolving credit facility (the “2022 Credit Facility”) with an initial five-year term. The Company has an option to extend the maturity date by up to two years and an option to expand the 2022 Credit Facility by up to €100 million, subject to certain conditions. At closing, there were no direct borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility. The Company terminated certain European short-term borrowing arrangements totaling €120 million with various banks in Europe concurrently with the closing of the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility bear interest based on the daily balance outstanding at the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR) plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.85% to 1.20%), provided that EURIBOR may not be less than 0.0%. The 2022 Credit Facility carries a commitment fee equal to the available but unused borrowing capacity multiplied by 35% of an applicable margin (varying from 0.85% to 1.20%). The Company is also required to pay a utilization fee on the total amount of the loans outstanding under the 2022 Credit Facility at rates varying from 0.10% to 0.20%, depending on the balance outstanding. The applicable margins are calculated quarterly and vary based on the leverage ratio of the guarantor and its subsidiaries as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains various annual sustainability key performance targets, the achievement of which would result in an adjustment to the interest margin ranging from a plus 5 basis points to a minus 5 basis points per year. The Credit Agreement includes a financial covenant requiring a maximum leverage ratio of the guarantor and its subsidiaries. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. As of October 29, 2022, the Company had no outstanding standby letters of credit, no outstanding documentary letters of credit, $109.6 million outstanding borrowings and $139.5 million available for future borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility. Other Credit Facilities The Company, through its Chinese subsidiary, maintains a short-term uncommitted bank borrowing agreement that provides for a borrowing capacity up to $30 million, primarily for working capital purposes. The Company had $12.2 million in outstanding borrowings under this agreement as of both October 29, 2022 and January 29, 2022. The Company, through its Japanese subsidiary, maintains a short-term uncommitted bank borrowing agreement that provides for a borrowing capacity up to $3.4 million, primarily for working capital purposes. The Company had $1.3 million outstanding borrowings under this agreement as of October 29, 2022 and no outstanding borrowings as of January 29, 2022. From time-to-time, the Company will obtain other financing in foreign countries for working capital to finance its local operations. Convertible Senior Notes and Related Transactions 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 In April 2019, the Company issued $300 million principal amount of the Notes in a private offering. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) with respect to the Notes with U.S. Bank N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest at an annual rate of 2.00% payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The Notes will mature on April 15, 2024, unless earlier repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms. The Notes are convertible in certain circumstances into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of 38.7879 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $25.78 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. In accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Notes, the Company has adjusted the conversion rate and the conversion price of the Notes for quarterly dividends exceeding $0.1125 per share (currently $25.21). Prior to November 15, 2023, the Notes are convertible only upon the occurrence of certain events and during certain periods, and thereafter, at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the Notes. Following certain corporate events described in the Indenture that occur prior to the maturity date, the conversion rate will be increased for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such corporate event in certain circumstances. The Notes are not redeemable prior to maturity, and no sinking fund is provided for the Notes. As of October 29, 2022, none of the conditions allowing holders of the Notes to convert had been met. The Company expects to settle the principal amount of the Notes in 2024 in cash and any excess in shares. On January 30, 2022, the Company adopted the authoritative guidance which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity using the modified retrospective method. Prior to adoption, the Company separated the Notes into liability and equity components. The liability component was recorded at fair value. The equity component represented the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and the fair value of the liability component. The equity component was not subject to remeasurement as long as the equity component continued to meet the conditions for equity classification. The excess of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) was being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes. During the three and nine months ended October 30, 2021, the Company recorded $2.8 million and $8.3 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount. As a result of the adoption of the authoritative guidance on January 30, 2022, the Company derecognized the remaining unamortized debt discount on the Notes and recorded no interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount during the three and nine months ended October 29, 2022. Refer to Note 1 for further information regarding this recently adopted guidance. Debt issuance costs were comprised of $3.8 million of discounts and commissions payable to the initial purchasers and third-party offering costs of approximately $1.5 million. Debt issuance costs were recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the Notes balance on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes. The Notes consist of the following (in thousands):
| Oct 29, 2022 |  | Jan 29, 2022
Liability component: |  |  |
Principal | $ | 300,000 |  |  | $ | 300,000 |
Unamortized debt discount 1 | — |  |  | (27,498) |
Unamortized issuance costs | (1,269) |  |  | (1,907) |
Net carrying amount | $ | 298,731 |  |  | $ | 270,595 |
Equity component, net 2 | $ | (759) |  |  | $ | 42,320 |
______________________________________________________________________ Notes: 1 Due to adoption of the authoritative guidance, unamortized debt discount was derecognized on January 30, 2022. 2 As a result of adoption of the authoritative guidance on January 30, 2022, the equity component was eliminated and recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. As of October 29, 2022, the balance is associated with convertible bond hedge issuance costs and deferred income taxes, which are not impacted by the adoption. As of January 29, 2022, the balance was included in paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is net of debt issuance costs and deferred taxes. As of October 29, 2022 and January 29, 2022, the fair value of the Notes, net of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, was approximately $293.6 million and $303.1 million, respectively. The fair value of the Notes is determined based on inputs that are observable in the market and have been classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby the Company had the option to purchase a total of approximately 11.6 million shares of its common stock at an initial strike price of approximately $25.78 per share, in each case subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was $61.0 million. In addition, the Company sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants had the option to purchase a total of approximately 11.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial strike price of $46.88 per share. The Company received $28.1 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. Both the number of shares underlying the convertible note hedges and warrants and the strike price of the instruments are subject to customary adjustments. In accordance with the terms of the convertible note hedge confirmations and warrant confirmations, respectively, the Company has adjusted the strike prices with respect to the convertible note hedges and the warrants for quarterly dividends exceeding $0.1125 per share (currently $45.84). Taken together, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and sale of the warrants are intended to offset dilution from the conversion of the Notes to the extent the market price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the adjusted strike price of the convertible note hedges. The warrant transaction may have a dilutive effect with respect to the Company’s common stock to the extent the market price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the adjusted strike price of the warrants. The convertible note hedges and warrants are recorded in stockholders’ equity, are not accounted for as derivatives and are not remeasured each reporting period. As of October 29, 2022, there was no deferred income tax liability in connection with the debt discount. As of January 29, 2022, the Company had a deferred income tax liability of $6.2 million in connection with the debt discount included in deferred income tax assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of both October 29, 2022 and January 29, 2022, the Company had a deferred income tax asset of $6.9 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The net deferred income tax impact was included in deferred income tax assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
