DEBT

Debt Arrangements

On November 16, 2017, the Company entered into the Current ABL Facility, which provides for maximum borrowings of $175.0 million for the Company, subject to a borrowing base. The Current ABL Facility has a letter of credit sub-limit of $70.0 million and will mature no later than November 16, 2022, subject to customary extension provisions provided for therein. The Current ABL Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes, and was undrawn, other than for letters of credit. Upon entering into the Current ABL Facility, the Company incurred $1.5 million in debt origination fees. The fees were capitalized as debt issuance costs and are being amortized as an adjustment to Interest expense over the remaining life of the Debt Facilities.

Also on November 16, 2017, the Company terminated all loan related documents of the Prior ABL Facility and repaid all outstanding amounts thereunder.

The Prior ABL Facility provided for maximum borrowings of $175.0 million for Lands' End, subject to a borrowing base, with a $30.0 million sub facility for the UK Borrower. The Prior ABL Facility had a sub-limit of $70.0 million for domestic letters of credit and a sub-limit of $15.0 million for letters of credit for the UK Borrower. The Prior ABL Facility was available for working capital and other general corporate purposes, and was undrawn, other than for letters of credit.

On April 4, 2014, Lands' End entered into the Term Loan Facility of $515.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to pay a dividend of $500.0 million to a subsidiary of Sears Holdings Corporation immediately prior to the Separation and to pay fees and expenses associated with the Prior ABL Facility and the Term Loan Facility of approximately $11.4 million, with the remaining proceeds used for general corporate purposes. The fees were capitalized as debt issuance costs and are being amortized as an adjustment to Interest expense over the remaining life of the Debt Facilities.

Interest; Fees

The interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the Debt Facilities are based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to, at the borrowers' election, either (i) an adjusted LIBOR plus a borrowing margin, or (ii) an alternative base rate plus a borrowing margin. The borrowing margin is fixed for the Term Loan Facility at 3.25% in the case of LIBOR loans and 2.25% in the case of base rate loans. For the Term Loan Facility, LIBOR is subject to a 1% interest rate floor. The borrowing margin for the ABL Facilities is subject to adjustment based on the average excess availability under the ABL Facilities for the preceding fiscal quarter. LIBOR borrowings will range from 1.25% to 1.75% and 1.50% to 2.00% for the Current ABL Facility and Prior ABL Facility, respectively. Base rate borrowings will range from 0.50% to 1.00% for the ABL Facilities.

Customary agency fees are payable in respect of the Debt Facilities. The ABL Facilities fees also include (i) commitment fees in an amount equal to 0.25% and 0.25% to 0.375% of the daily unused portions of the Current ABL Facility and Prior ABL Facility respectively, and (ii) customary letter of credit fees.

Amortization and Prepayments

The Term Loan Facility amortizes at a rate equal to 1% per annum, and is subject to mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to a percentage of the borrower's excess cash flows (as defined in the Term Loan Facility) in each fiscal year, ranging from 0% to 50% depending on Lands' End's secured leverage ratio, and the proceeds from certain asset sales and casualty events. Based on Fiscal 2017 results, mandatory prepayments were triggered, however, excess cash flows were negative resulting in no prepayments to be made. The Company's aggregate scheduled maturities of the Term Loan Facility as of February 2, 2018 are as follows:



(in thousands)
Less than 1 year	$	5,150
1 - 2 years	5,150

Guarantees; Security

All domestic obligations under the Debt Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and, subject to certain exceptions, each of its existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The Current ABL Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in certain working capital of the borrowers and guarantors consisting primarily of accounts receivable and inventory. The Term Loan Facility is secured by a second priority security interest in the same collateral, with certain exceptions.

The Term Loan Facility also is secured by a first priority security interest in certain property and assets of the borrowers and guarantors, including certain fixed assets and stock of subsidiaries. The Current ABL Facility is secured by a second priority security interest in the same collateral.

The Prior ABL Facility had the same terms to those stated above. In addition, the obligations of the UK Borrower under the Prior ABL Facility were guaranteed by its existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries organized in the United Kingdom.

Representations and Warranties; Covenants

In addition, if excess availability under the Current ABL Facility falls below the greater of 10% of the loan cap amount or $15.0 million, Lands' End will be required to comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. The Debt Facilities do not otherwise contain financial maintenance covenants. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants related to the Debt Facilities as of February 2, 2018.
