Senior Notes
On October 20, 2017, Michael Kors (USA), Inc. (the “Issuer”), the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, completed its offering of $450 million aggregate principal amount of 4.000% senior notes due 2024 (the “Senior Notes”) at an issue price of 99.508% of aggregate principal amount, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Senior Notes have been issued under an indenture dated October 20, 2017, among the Issuer, the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Indenture"). The Senior Notes have been issued to finance a portion of the Company’s acquisition of Jimmy Choo and certain related refinancing transactions.
The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.000% per year, subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P (or a substitute rating agency therefore) downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the Senior Notes. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2018.

The Senior Notes are unsecured and are guaranteed by the Company and its existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee or are borrowers under the 2017 Credit Facility (subject to certain exceptions, including subsidiaries organized in China), including, following the closing of the acquisition, Jimmy Choo and all of its existing and future subsidiaries who are guarantors or borrowers under the 2017 Credit Facility (subject to certain exceptions, including subsidiaries organized in China).
The Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuer’s and guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness, effectively subordinated in right of payment to any of the Company’s subsidiaries’ obligations (including secured and unsecured obligations) and any of the Company’s secured obligations, to the extent of the assets securing such obligations.
The Indenture contains covenants, including those that limit the Company’s ability to create certain liens and enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions. In the event of a “Change of Control Triggering Event,” as defined in the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes being repurchased plus any unpaid interest. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions, as per the Indenture.
Acquisition of Jimmy Choo
On November 1, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Jimmy Choo for 230 pence per share in cash for a total transaction value of approximately $1.40 billion, including the refinancing of existing debt obligations, which was funded through a combination of borrowings under the Company’s new Term Loan Facility, the issuance of the Senior Notes and cash on hand. The Company believes that this combination will further strengthen its future growth opportunities while also increasing both product and geographic diversification and will allow it to grow its international presence through the formation of a global fashion luxury group, bringing together industry-leading fashion luxury brands. The Company will account for this acquisition as a business combination and is in the process of aggregating information required to support purchase accounting, as well as to prepare business combination disclosures. The Company will include all of the required business combination disclosures in its Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended December 30, 2017.
