Bridge Credit Agreement

On July 25, 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as loan parties, entered into a bridge credit agreement providing for a term loan facility in the principal amount of £1.115 billion with the lenders from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Europe Limited, as administrative agent. In connection with Term Loan Facility provided for under the 2017 Credit Facility, as described and defined below, the commitments under the bridge credit agreement were reduced to approximately £344.2 million as of September 30, 2017 and eliminated in their entirety as a result of the October 20, 2017 issuance of $450.0 million 4.000% senior notes due 2024. Please refer to Note 19 for additional information. As a result, the bridge credit agreement was terminated.

Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On August 22, 2017, the Company entered into a second amended and restated senior unsecured credit facility (as amended, the "2017 Credit Facility") with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, which replaced its prior 2015 senior unsecured revolving credit facility ("2015 Credit Facility"). The Company and its U.S., Canadian, Dutch and Swiss subsidiaries are the borrowers under the 2017 Credit Facility. The borrowers and certain material subsidiaries of the Company provide unsecured guarantees of the 2017 Credit Facility. The 2017 Credit Facility provides for a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which may be denominated in U.S. Dollars and other currencies, including Euros, Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen and Swiss Francs. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides sub-facilities for the issuance of letters of credit of up to $75.0 million and swing line loans of up to $50.0 million. The 2017 Credit Facility also provides for a $1.0 billion term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) to finance a portion of the purchase price of the Company's acquisition of Jimmy Choo. The Revolving Credit Facility expires on August 22, 2022. The Term Loan Facility is divided into two tranches, a $600.0 million tranche that matures on the third anniversary of the initial borrowing of the term loans and a $400.0 million tranche that matures on the fifth anniversary of the initial borrowing of the term loans. The Company has the ability to expand its borrowing availability under the 2017 Credit Facility in the form of revolving commitments or term loans by up to an additional $500.0 million, subject to the agreement of the participating lenders and certain other customary conditions.

On November 1, 2017, the Company borrowed $1.0 billion under the Term Loan Facility to pay a portion of the acquisition consideration for Jimmy Choo and other fees and expenses related thereto (please refer to Note 19 for additional information). The loans under the Term Loan Facility are required to be repaid on the last business day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing after the last business day of the first full fiscal quarter after the initial borrowing, in installments equal to 2.50% of the aggregate original principal amount of the term loans.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at the following rates:

•

for loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, an alternate base rate, which is the greatest of: (a) the prime rate publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase, (b) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York overnight bank funding rate and zero, plus 50 basis points, and (c) the greater of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities (“Adjusted LIBOR”) and zero, plus 100 basis points, in each case, plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s public debt ratings;


•	for loans denominated other than in Canadian Dollars, the greater of Adjusted LIBOR for the applicable interest period and zero, plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s public debt rating;


•	for loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian prime rate, which is the greater of the PRIMCAN Index rate and the rate applicable to one-month Canadian Dollar banker’s acceptances quoted on Reuters (“CDOR”), plus 100 basis points, plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s public debt ratings; or


•	for loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, the average CDOR rate for the applicable interest period, plus 0.10% per annum, plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s public debt ratings.

Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at (a) the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s public debt ratings; or (b) the greater of Adjusted LIBOR for the applicable interest period and zero, plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s public debt ratings.

The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for an annual administration fee and a commitment fee equal to 0.10% to 0.25% per annum, based on the Company's public debt ratings, applied to the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan Facility provides for a commitment fee equal to 0.10% to 0.25% per annum, based on the Company's public debt ratings, applied to the undrawn amount of the Term Loan Facility, from September 23, 2017 until the term loans are fully drawn or the commitments under the Term Loan Facility terminate or expire. Loans under the 2017 Credit facility may be repaid and commitments may be terminated or reduced by the borrowers without premium or penalty other than the customary breakage costs with respect to loans bearing interest based on Adjusted LIBOR or the CDOR rate.

The 2017 Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a leverage ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter of no greater than 3.5 to 1. Such leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of the sum of total indebtedness as of the date of the measurement plus six times the consolidated rent expense for the last four consecutive fiscal quarters, to Consolidated EBITDAR (as defined below) for the last four consecutive fiscal quarters. Consolidated EBITDAR is defined as consolidated net income plus income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, consolidated rent expense and other non-cash charges, subject to certain additions and deductions. The 2017 Credit Facility also includes covenants that limit additional indebtedness, guarantees, liens, acquisitions and other investments and cash dividends that are customary for financings of this type.

The 2017 Credit Facility contains events of default customary for financings of this type, including, but not limited to, payment of defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, certain events under ERISA, material judgments, actual or asserted failure of any guaranty supporting the 2017 Credit Facility to be in full force and effect, and changes of control. If such an event of default occurs, the lenders under the 2017 Credit Facility would be entitled to take various actions, including, but not limited to, terminating the commitments and accelerating amounts outstanding under the 2017 Credit Facility, subject to "certain funds" limitations in connection with the transaction governing the Term Loan Facility.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the 2017 Credit Facility. Stand-by letters of credit of $11.3 million were outstanding as of September 30, 2017. There were borrowings of $127.3 million outstanding under the prior 2015 Credit Facility as of April 1, 2017, which were recorded within short-term debt in the Company's balance sheet as of April 1, 2017. At September 30, 2017, the amount available for future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was $988.7 million. In addition, at September 30, 2017, the Company had a $1.0 billion Term Loan Facility, which was fully drawn on November 1, 2017 to pay a portion of the purchase price of the Company's acquisition of Jimmy Choo.
