NOTE 3. DEBT

Debt Arrangements

In Fiscal 2020, the Company exercised the “accordion” feature under the ABL Facility increasing the maximum borrowings available under the facility from $175 million to $275 million, subject to a borrowing base (the “Loan Cap”). This was completed in two transactions.  The first was a $25 million increase effective March 19, 2020 and the second was a $75 million increase effective September 9, 2020. The latter completed through the Second Amendment to the ABL Facility executed on August 12, 2020. The revolving ABL Facility has a letter of credit sublimit of $70.0 million and matures on November 16, 2022, subject to customary extension provisions provided for therein, and is available for working capital and other general corporate liquidity needs. The balance outstanding on January 29, 2021 was $25 million. There was no balance outstanding as of January 31, 2020. The balance of outstanding letters of credit was $27.1 million and $23.3 million on January 29, 2021 and January 31, 2020, respectively.

On September 9, 2020, the Company entered into the Current Term Loan Facility which provides a term loan facility of $275 million, the proceeds of which were used, along with borrowings of $125 million under the Company’s revolving ABL Facility, to repay all of the indebtedness under the Former Term Loan Credit Facility and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the financing. Origination costs, including an Original Issue Discount (“OID”) of 3% and $5.0 million in debt origination fees, were paid upon entering into the Current Term Loan Facility.  The OID and the debt origination fees are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the Current Term Loan Facility and are amortized over the term of the loan to Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Interest; Fees

The interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the Current Term Loan Facility are based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to, at the borrower’s election, either (1) an adjusted LIBOR (with a minimum rate of 1%) plus 9.75%, or (2) an alternative base rate (which is the greater of (i) the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal, (ii) the federal funds rate, which shall be no lower than 0% plus ½ of 1%, and (iii) the one month LIBOR rate plus 1% per annum) plus 8.75%.  

The borrowing margin under the ABL Facility is subject to adjustment based on the average daily total loans outstanding under the ABL Facility for the preceding fiscal quarter. For LIBOR loans, the interest rate is LIBOR (subject to an interest rate floor of 0.75%) plus a borrowing margin which is, where the average daily total loans outstanding for the previous quarter are (i) less than $50.0 million, 1.75%, (ii) equal to or greater than $50.0 million but less than $100.0 million, 2.00%, (iii) equal to or greater than $100.0 million but less than $200.0 million, 2.25%, and (iv) greater than $200.0 million, 3.50%. For Base Rate loans, the borrowing margin is, where the average daily total loans outstanding for the previous quarter are (i) less than $50.0 million for the previous quarter, 1.00%, (ii) equal to or greater than $50.0 million but less than $100.0 million, 1.25%, (iii) equal to or greater than $100.0 million but less than $200.0 million, 1.50%, and (iv) greater than $200.0 million, 2.75%.

The ABL Facility also includes (i) commitment fees which range from 0.25% to 0.375% based upon the average daily unused commitment (aggregate commitment less loans and letter of credit outstanding) under the ABL Facility for the preceding fiscal quarter and (ii) customary letter of credit fees.

Customary agency fees are payable in respect of the Debt Facilities.

Maturity; Amortization and Prepayments

The Current Term Loan Facility matures on September 9, 2025 and amortizes at a rate equal to 1.25% per quarter. It is subject to mandatory prepayments in an amount equal to a percentage of the borrower’s excess cash flows in each fiscal year, ranging from 0% to 75% depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio, and with the proceeds of certain asset sales, casualty events and extraordinary receipts. The loan may not be voluntarily prepaid during the first two years of its term, without significant penalties. A prepayment premium is applicable to voluntary prepayments and certain mandatory prepayments made prior to the fourth anniversary of the closing date of the Current Term Loan Facility.
