Revolving Credit Facility

On September 17, 2020, we amended our credit agreement, dated as of November 9, 2016 (“Amended Revolving Credit Facility”). The Amended Revolving Credit Facility, among other things, increased the aggregate principal amount of available revolving credit facility borrowings to $750.0 million and extended the maturity date to September 17, 2023. In addition, we may add incremental term loan facilities, increase commitments and/or add new revolving commitments

in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the sum of (A) the greater of $600.0 million or 75% of our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Revolving Credit Facility) and (B) an amount based on our consolidated net leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR or the Base Rate (each as defined in the Amended Revolving Credit Facility) plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% for LIBOR-based loans and from 0.25% to 1.25% for Base Rate-based loans, depending upon our consolidated net leverage ratio. In addition to paying interest, we will pay an annual commitment fee for undrawn amounts at a rate of 0.20% to 0.40%, depending on our consolidated net leverage ratio. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility requires us to maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio no greater than 5.00 to 1.00, decreasing ratably to 4.50 to 1.00 on February 26, 2022 through maturity; and an interest coverage ratio no less than 2.75 to 1.00.

In connection with the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, we repaid the outstanding $271.9 million term loan facility due in November 2021 with cash on hand. In connection with the amendment, we capitalized $2.4 million of debt issuance costs as “Other assets” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the thirty-nine weeks ended February 28, 2021, we recognized $1.0 million of expenses, in “Interest expense, net” for the write-off of debt issuance costs related to the payoff of the term loan facility.

At February 28, 2021, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and $744.6 million of availability under the facility, which is net of outstanding letters of credit of $5.4 million. For the thirty-nine weeks ended February 28, 2021, borrowings under the facility ranged from zero to $495.0 million and the weighted average interest rate for our outstanding borrowings under the facility was 1.68%.

Term A-1 and A-2 Loan Facilities

On September 23, 2020, in connection with the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, we amended the credit agreement, dated as of June 28, 2019, relating to our Term A-1 and A-2 Loan Facilities (“Term Loan Facilities”), to, among other things, modify the Term Loan Facilities to make conforming changes to the affirmative and negative covenants under the Term Loan Facilities. The financial covenants under the Term Loan Facilities remain unchanged, requiring us to maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio no greater than 4.50 to 1.00 and an interest coverage ratio no less than 2.75 to 1.00.

Other

For the thirty-nine weeks ended February 28, 2021 and February 23, 2020, we paid $65.2 million and $58.0 million of interest on debt, respectively.
