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. 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 right to prepay its borrowings under the Term Loan Facility at any time in whole or in part. 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’s $1.0 billion Term Loan Facility was fully drawn to pay a portion of the acquisition consideration for Jimmy Choo and other related fees and expenses. 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. During Fiscal 2018, the Company made accelerated payments on the Term Loans on a pro-rata basis. As of March 31, 2018, the carrying value of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility was $229.0 million, net of debt issuance costs.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, the Company repaid an additional $90.0 million principal amount of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility on a pro-rata basis.

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


•	for any loans (except loans denominated 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 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 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 10 basis points 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 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. As of March 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to this agreement.

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 The Employee Retirement Income Security Act, 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 March 31, 2018, the Company had borrowings of $200.0 million outstanding under the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility. Stand-by letters of credit of $15.9 million were outstanding as of March 31, 2018. There were borrowings of $127.3 million outstanding under the prior 2015 Revolving 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 March 31, 2018, the amount available for future borrowings under the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility was $784.1 million.

Senior Notes

On October 20, 2017, Michael Kors (USA), Inc. (the “Issuer”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, completed its offering of $450.0 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 were 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 were 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 may be redeemed at the Company’s option at any time in whole or in part at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a “make-whole” amount calculated at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points.

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.

As of March 31, 2018, the carrying value of the Senior Notes was $444.5 million, net of issuance costs and unamortized discount. See Note 22 for cross-currency swaps executed during the first quarter of Fiscal 2019.

The Japan Credit Facility provides Michael Kors Japan K.K. with a revolving credit line of up to ¥1.0 billion (approximately $9.4 million).

The HK Credit Facility provides MKHKL with a revolving line of credit of up to 100.0 million Hong Kong Dollars (approximately $12.7 million), and may be used to support bank guarantees.
