Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
On June 25, 2020, the Company entered into the second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its third amended and restated credit facility, dated as of November 15, 2018 (the “2018 Credit Facility”), with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the obligations under the 2018 Credit Facility are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries that are borrowers and guarantors, subject to certain exceptions, and substantially all of the registered intellectual property of the Company and its subsidiaries. This requirement for collateral will fall away if the Company achieves an investment grade ratings requirement for two consecutive full fiscal quarters. The Amendment adds a restriction on the disposition of assets and a requirement to prepay the term loans with certain net cash proceeds of non-ordinary course asset sales, subject to certain exceptions and a reinvestment option with respect to up to $100 million of net cash proceeds in the aggregate.
Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the financial covenant in the Company’s 2018 Credit Facility requiring it to maintain a ratio of the sum of total indebtedness plus the capitalized amount of all operating lease obligations for the last four fiscal quarters to Consolidated EBITDAR of no greater than 3.75 to 1.0 has been waived through the fiscal quarter ending June 26, 2021. The Company terminated the waiver period effective May 26, 2021. Effective as of that date, the applicable ratio will be calculated net of the Company’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $100 million and shall exclude up to $150 million of supply chain financings, and the maximum permitted net leverage ratio will be 4.00 to 1.0. In addition, until March 31, 2021, the material adverse change representation required to be made in connection with revolving borrowings and the issuance or amendment of letters of credit will be modified to disregard certain COVID-19 pandemic-related impacts to the business, results of operations or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The Second Amendment also requires the Company, during the period from June 25, 2020 until it delivers its financial statements with respect to the fiscal quarter ending June 26, 2021, to maintain at all times unrestricted cash and cash equivalents plus the aggregate undrawn amounts under the revolving facilities under the 2018 Credit Facility of not less than $300 million, increasing to $400 million on October 1, 2020 and $500 million on December 1, 2020.
The 2018 Credit Facility and the Indenture governing the Company's senior notes contain certain restrictive covenants that impose operating and financial restrictions on the Company, and the Second Amendment imposes incremental restrictions on certain of these covenants during the covenant relief period provided under the 2018 Credit Facility, including restrictions on its ability to incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem capital stock, make loans and investments, including acquisitions, sell assets, incur liens, enter into transactions with affiliates and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets.
The 2018 Credit Facility provides for a $1 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 million and swing loans of up to $75 million. The 2018 Credit Facility also provides for a $1.6 billion term loan facility (the "2018 Term Loan Facility"). The 2018 Term Loan Facility is divided into two tranches, with the second tranche maturing in December 2023, which requires a quarterly payment of $24 million. As of March 27, 2021, the Company has fully paid off Tranche 1 of the 2018 Term Loan Facility.
In addition, the Second Amendment adds a new $230 million revolving line of credit that matures on June 24, 2021 (the “364 Day Facility”). The terms of the 364 Day Facility are substantially similar to the terms of the existing revolving facility under the 2018 Credit Facility except that (i) no letters of credit or swingline loans are provided and (ii) for loans subject to Adjusted LIBOR, the applicable margin is 225 basis points per annum, for loans subject to the base rate the applicable margin is 125 basis points per annum and the commitment fee is 35 basis points per annum. In addition, while the 364 Day Facility is outstanding, (i) if the Company incurs any incremental indebtedness under the 2018 Credit Facility or certain permitted indebtedness in lieu of such incremental indebtedness, the 364 Day Facility will be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis and the Company will be required to make corresponding prepayments and (ii) the Company will be required to prepay amounts outstanding under the 364 Day Facility on a weekly basis to the extent that cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries exceed $200 million.
The Second Amendment also permits certain working capital facilities between the Company or any of its subsidiaries with a lender or an affiliate of a lender under the 2018 Credit Facility to be guaranteed under the 2018 Credit Facility guarantees and certain supply chain financings with, and up to $50 million outstanding principal amount of bilateral letters of credit and bilateral bank guarantees issued by a lender or an affiliate of a lender to be guaranteed and secured under the 2018 Credit Facility guarantees and collateral documents.
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 2018 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 2018 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 2018 Term Loan Facility, from January 6, 2019 until the term loans are fully drawn or the commitments under the 2018 Term Loan Facility terminate or expire. Loans under the 2018 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.
As of the last day of Fiscal 2021, the 2018 Credit Facility requirement of the Company to maintain a leverage ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter of no greater than 3.75 to 1 has been waived through the fiscal quarter ending June 26, 2021. Such leverage ratio is calculated based on the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness plus the capitalized amount of all operating lease liabilities presented on our consolidated balance sheets 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 2018 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. See Note 22 for additional information. As of March 27, 2021 and the date these financial statements were issued, the Company was in compliance with
all covenants related to this agreement, which was calculated based on the unrestricted cash and cash equivalents plus the aggregate undrawn amounts of no less than $500 million under the 2018 Credit Facility.
The 2018 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 2018 Credit Facility to be in full force and effect, and changes of control. If such an event of default occurs, the lenders under the 2018 Credit Facility would be entitled to take various actions, including, but not limited to, terminating the commitments and accelerating amounts outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility, subject to “certain funds” limitations in connection with the transaction governing the 2018 Term Loan Facility.
As of March 27, 2021, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as a result of repaying the remaining borrowings. As of March 28, 2020, the Company had $681 million borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, which were recorded within long-term debt in its consolidated balance sheets. In addition, stand-by letters of credit of $27 million and $18 million were outstanding as of March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020, respectively. At March 27, 2021, the amount available for future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the 364 Day facility were $973 million and $230 million, respectively.
As of March 27, 2021, the carrying values of borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan Facility were $865 million, net of debt issuance costs of $5 million, $97 million of which was recorded within short-term debt while $768 million was recorded within long-term debt in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. As of March 28, 2020, the carrying values of borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan Facility were $1.010 billion, net of debt issuance costs of $5 million, $128 million of which was recorded within short-term debt while $882 million was recorded within long-term debt in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
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 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.
As of March 27, 2021, the Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.500% 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 2018 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 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020, the carrying value of the Senior Notes was $447 million and $446 million, respectively, net of issuance costs and unamortized discount, which were recorded within long-term debt in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Supplier Financing Program
During the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company began offering a supplier financing program to certain suppliers as the Company continues to identify opportunities to improve liquidity. This program enables suppliers, at their sole discretion, to sell their receivables (i.e., the Company’s payment obligations to suppliers) to a financial institution on a non-recourse basis in order to be paid earlier than current payment terms provide. The Company’s obligations, including the amount due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by a suppliers’ decision to participate in this program. The Company does not reimburse suppliers for any costs they incur to participate in the program and their participation is voluntary. The amount outstanding under this program as of March 27, 2021 was $17 million and is presented as short-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Japan Credit Facility
In Fiscal 2021, the Company’s subsidiary in Japan renewed a short term credit facility (“Japan Credit Facility”) with Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (“MUFJ”), which may be used to fund general working capital needs of Michael Kors Japan K.K., subject to the bank’s discretion. The Japan Credit Facility is in effect through November 30, 2021. The Japan Credit Facility provides Michael Kors Japan K.K. with a revolving credit line of up to ¥1.0 billion (approximately $9 million). The Japan Credit Facility bears interest at a rate posted by the Bank plus 0.300% two business days prior to the date of borrowing or the date of interest renewal.

Borrowings under the HK Credit Facility must be made in increments of at least 5 million Hong Kong Dollars and bear interest at the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (“HIBOR”) plus 150 basis points.
