12. DEBT

On December 17, 2010, the Company entered into a three year Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with (i) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing lender, (ii) Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as sole lead arranger and sole book manager, and (iii) Bank of America, N.A., as lender. The Credit Agreement provides for revolving credit loans in the amount of $300 million (the “Revolver”), a swingline loan of $20 million, and letters of credit. On April 2, 2012, in connection with the Skagen Designs acquisition, the Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate commitment of the lenders under the revolving credit facility from $300 million to $350 million, (ii) provide for an uncommitted $50 million incremental revolving credit commitment and (iii) extend the maturity date from December 17, 2013 to December 17, 2014.

 

Amounts outstanding under the Revolver bear interest at the Company’s option of (i) the base rate (defined as the higher of (a) the prime rate publicly announced by Wells Fargo (3.25% at the end of the Second Quarter), (b) the federal funds rate plus 1.50% and (c) the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) (0.2% at the end of the Second Quarter) plus 1.50%) plus the base rate applicable margin (which varies based upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio (the “Ratio”) from 0.25% if the Ratio is less than 1.00 to 1.00, to 1.00% if the Ratio is greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00) or (ii) the LIBOR rate (defined as the quotient obtained by dividing (a) LIBOR by (b) 1.00 minus the Eurodollar reserve percentage) plus the LIBOR rate applicable margin (which varies based upon the Ratio from 1.25% if the Ratio is less than 1.00 to 1.00, to 2.00% if the Ratio is greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00). Amounts outstanding under the swingline loan under the Credit Agreement or upon any drawing under a letter of credit bear interest at the base rate plus the base rate applicable margin. Interest based upon the base rate is payable quarterly in arrears. Interest based upon the LIBOR rate is payable either monthly or quarterly in arrears, depending on the interest period selected by the Company. The Revolver also includes a commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.35% for any amounts not drawn under the Revolver.

Loans under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, in minimum principal amounts of $2.0 million or increments of $1.0 million in excess thereof with respect to a base rate loan, $5.0 million or increments of $1.0 million in excess thereof with respect to a LIBOR rate loan and $100,000 or increments of $100,000 in excess thereof with respect to a swingline loan. Loans under the Credit Agreement must be repaid, or letter of credit obligations cash collateralized with the net proceeds of certain asset sales, insurance and condemnation events. The Company may permanently reduce the revolving credit commitment at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, in a minimum aggregate principal amount of not less than $3.0 million or increments of $1.0 million in excess thereof.

Wells Fargo can accelerate the repayment obligation upon the occurrence of an event of default, including the failure to pay principal or interest, a material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty, violation of covenants, cross-default, change in control, bankruptcy events, failure of a loan document provision, certain ERISA events and material judgments. As of June 30, 2012, $97.0 million was outstanding under the Revolver. Amounts available under the Revolver are reduced by any amounts outstanding under stand-by letters of credit. At June 30, 2012, the Company had available borrowings of approximately $252.1 million under the Revolver. The Company incurred approximately $653,000 of interest expense related to the Revolver during the Second Quarter and Year To Date Period.

Financial covenants in the Credit Agreement require the Company to maintain (i) a consolidated leverage ratio no greater than 2.50 to 1.00, (ii) consolidated tangible net worth of no less than the sum of (a) $600 million plus (b) 25% of positive consolidated net income, (iii) consolidated net income that is not negative for any two consecutive fiscal quarters, and (iv) maximum capital expenditures not in excess of $125 million in any fiscal year, subject to certain adjustments. The Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants, events of default and indemnities that are customary for agreements of this type. The Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2012 and during the Second Quarter.

On April 6, 2011, the Company’s Korean subsidiary, Fossil (Korea) Limited (“Fossil Korea”), entered into a $20 million credit facility agreement (the “Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. Seoul Branch. Borrowings under the Agreement are renewed on a monthly basis. The Agreement bears interest based on a three month CD rate which is published by the Korea Securities Dealers Association (3.54% at the end of the Second Quarter), plus 120 basis points for a one month period or plus 130 basis points for a three month period. Borrowings under the Agreement were approximately $6.0 million at June 30, 2012. The Company incurred approximately $89,000 and $165,000 of interest expense related to borrowings under the Agreement during the Second Quarter and Year To Date Period, respectively. On July 20, 2012, approximately $6.2 million of borrowings under the Agreement were renewed at an interest rate of 4.45% with a maturity date of August 20, 2012. The Company expects this facility to be renewed under its current provisions for another year.
