Term Loan Credit Facility

 

On September 7, 2021, Vince, LLC entered into a new term loan credit facility as described below.  All outstanding amounts under the 2018 Term Loan Facility were repaid in full and such credit facility was terminated.

Vince, LLC entered into a new $35,000 senior secured term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”) pursuant to a Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) by and among Vince, LLC, as the borrower, the guarantors named therein, PLC Agent, LLC (“Pathlight”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto. Vince Holding Corp. and Vince Intermediate Holding, LLC are guarantors under the Term Loan Credit Facility.  The Term Loan Credit Facility matures on the earlier of September 7, 2026 and 91 days after the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below).

The Term Loan Credit Facility is subject to quarterly amortization of $875 commencing on July 1, 2022, with the balance payable at final maturity. Interest is payable on loans under the Term Loan Credit Facility at a rate equal to the 90-day LIBOR rate, or an alternate applicable reference rate in the event LIBOR is no longer available, subject, in either case, to a 1.0% floor, plus 7.0%. During the continuance of certain specified events of default, interest will accrue on the overdue amount of any loan at a rate of 2.0% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to such amount. In addition, the Term Loan Credit Agreement requires mandatory prepayments upon the occurrence of certain events, including but not limited to, an Excess Cash Flow payment (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement), subject to reductions for voluntary prepayments made during such fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ending January 28, 2023.

 

The Term Loan Credit Facility contains a requirement that Vince, LLC will maintain an availability under its Revolving Credit Facility of the greater of 10% of the commitments thereunder or $9,500. The Term Loan Credit Facility does not permit dividends prior to April 30, 2022, or an earlier date designated by Vince, LLC (the period until such date, the “Accommodation Period”) and thereafter permits them to the extent that no default or event of default is continuing or would result from a contemplated dividend, so long as after giving pro forma effect to the contemplated dividend subtracting any accounts payable amounts that are or are projected to be past due for the following six months, excess availability for such six month period will be at least the greater of 25.0% of the aggregate lending commitments and $15,000.  In addition, the Term Loan Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, other covenants, and events of default, including but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, liens, burdensome agreements, guarantees, investments, loans, asset sales, mergers, acquisitions, prepayment of other debt, the repurchase of capital stock, transactions with affiliates, and the ability to change the nature of its business or its fiscal year, and distributions and dividends. Furthermore, the Term Loan Credit Facility is subject to a Borrowing Base (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) which can, under certain conditions result in the imposition of a reserve under the Revolving Credit Facility.  

All obligations under the Term Loan Credit Facility are guaranteed by Vince Intermediate Holding, LLC (“Vince Intermediate”) and the Company and any future material domestic restricted subsidiaries of Vince, LLC and secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company, Vince, LLC and Vince Intermediate and any future material domestic restricted subsidiaries.

 

Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility

 

Concurrently with the Term Loan Credit Facility, Vince, LLC entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “A&R Revolving Credit Facility Agreement”), by and among Vince, LLC, as the borrower, the guarantors named therein, Citizens Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto, with respect to its revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which contains amendments to reflect the terms of the Term Loan Credit Facility and extends the maturity of the facility to the earlier of June 8, 2026 and 91 days prior to the maturity of the Term Loan Credit Facility.

In addition, the A&R Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, among others: (i) lowers all applicable margins by 0.75%; (ii) revises the end of  the Accommodation Period (as defined therein) to April 30, 2022 or an earlier date as elected by Vince, LLC; (iii) amends the borrowing base calculation to exclude Eligible Cash On Hand (as defined therein); (iv) revises threshold under the definition of the Cash Dominion Trigger Event to be the excess availability of the greater of (a) 12.5% of the loan cap and (b) $11,000; (v) deletes the financial covenant and replaces it with a requirement to maintain a minimum excess availability not to be less than the greater of (a) $9,500 and (b) 10% of the commitments at any time; and (vi) revises certain representations and warranties as well as operational covenants.

 

Third Lien First Amendment

 

Concurrently with the Term Loan Credit Facility as well as the A&R Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, Vince, LLC entered into an amendment (the “Third Lien First Amendment”) to a credit agreement, dated December 11, 2020, by and among Vince, LLC, as the borrower, SK Financial Services, LLC (“SK Financial”), as agent, and other lenders from time to time party thereto, with respect to its subordinated credit facility (the “Third Lien Credit Facility”).  The Third Lien First Amendment amends its terms to extend its maturity to March 6, 2027, revises the interest rate to remove the tiered applicable margins so that the rate is now equal to the 90-day LIBOR rate, or an alternate applicable reference rate in the event LIBOR is no longer available, plus 9.0% at all times, and to reflect the applicable terms of the Term Loan Credit Facility as well as the A&R Revolving Credit Facility Agreement.  

SK Financial is an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc. (“Sun Capital”), whose affiliates own approximately 71% of the Company’s common stock.  The Third Lien Credit Facility was previously reviewed and approved by the special committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), consisting solely of directors not affiliated with Sun Capital, which was represented by independent legal advisors.  The Third Lien First Amendment was reviewed and ratified by the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors, consisting solely of directors not affiliated with Sun Capital.
