Issuance of Notes

In October 2013, the Company issued $500 million of 5.625% notes due in October 2023 utilizing an existing shelf registration under which debt securities, common and preferred stock and other securities can be issued. The 2023 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by certain of the Company's 100% owned subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, the "Guarantors"). The proceeds from the issuance were $495 million, which were net of issuance costs of $5 million. These issuance costs are being amortized through the maturity date of October 2023 and are included within Other Assets on the August 2, 2014 and February 1, 2014 Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Revolving Facility

On July 18, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement (“Amendment”) of its secured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”). The Amendment maintains the aggregate amount of the commitments of the lenders under the Revolving Facility at $1 billion and extends the termination date from July 15, 2016 to July 18, 2019. In addition, the Amendment allows certain of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries to issue loans and obtain letters of credit in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars or British pounds.

In addition, the Amendment reduced fees payable under the Revolving Facility which are based on the Company's long-term credit ratings. The fees related to committed and unutilized amounts per year are 0.30% per annum, and the fees related to outstanding letters of credit are 1.50% per annum. In addition, the interest rate on outstanding U.S. dollar borrowings and British pound borrowings is London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.50%. The interest rate on outstanding Canadian dollar borrowings is Canadian Prime Rate plus 0.50% or Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR") plus 1.50%.

The Company incurred fees related to the Amendment of the Revolving Facility of $5 million, which were capitalized and are being amortized over the remaining term of the Revolving Facility.

The Revolving Facility continues to contain fixed charge coverage and debt to EBITDA financial covenants. The Company is required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.75 to 1.00 and a consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio not exceeding 4.00 to 1.00 for the most recent four-quarter period. In addition, the Revolving Facility provides that investments and restricted payments may be made, without limitation on amount, if (a) at the time of and after giving effect to such investment or restricted payment the ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA for the most recent four-quarter period is less than 3.00 to 1.00 and (b) no default or event of default exists. As of August 2, 2014, the Company was in compliance with both of its financial covenants. The ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA was less than 3.00 to 1.00 and no default or event of default existed.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company borrowed and repaid $5 million under the Revolving Facility. The maximum daily amount outstanding at any point in time during the second quarter was $5 million.

As of August 2, 2014, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility.

Letters of Credit

The Revolving Facility supports the Company’s letter of credit program. The Company had $8 million of outstanding letters of credit as of August 2, 2014 that reduce its remaining availability under the Revolving Facility.
