NOTE 5 – DEBT AND LINES OF CREDIT

On January 30, 2015, the Company, together with Movado Group Delaware Holdings Corporation, Movado Retail Group, Inc. and Movado LLC (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), each a wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) including a $15.0 million letter of credit sub-facility that matures on January 30, 2020, with provisions for uncommitted increases of up to $50.0 million in the aggregate subject to customary terms and conditions. In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers also entered into a Security and Pledge Agreement dated as of January 30, 2015 in favor of the Agent (“Security Agreement”).

As of July 31, 2015, $40.0 million in loans were drawn under the Facility. Additionally, approximately $3.7 million in letters of credit which were outstanding under the Borrower’s pre-existing asset-based revolving credit facility that was concurrently terminated as described below, are deemed to be issued and outstanding under the Facility. As of July 31, 2015, availability under the Facility was approximately $56.3 million.

Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at rates selected periodically by the Company at LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum (subject to increases up to a maximum of 1.75% per annum based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio) or a base rate plus 0.25% (subject to increases up to a maximum of 0.75% per annum based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio). The Company has also agreed to pay certain fees and expenses and provide certain indemnities, all of which are customary for such financings.

The borrowings under the Facility are joint and several obligations of the Borrowers and are also cross-guaranteed by each Borrower. In addition, pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Borrowers’ obligations under the Facility are secured by first priority liens, subject to permitted liens, on substantially all of the Borrowers’ assets other than certain excluded assets. The Security Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants, which are customary for pledge and security agreements of this type, relating to the creation and perfection of security interests in favor of the Agent over various categories of the Company’s assets.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants binding on the Borrowers and their subsidiaries that are customary for credit facilities of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions and limitations on the incurrence of debt and liens, dispositions of assets, capital expenditures, dividends and other payments in respect of equity interests, the making of loans and equity investments, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, and transactions with affiliates (in each case, subject to various exceptions).

The Borrowers are also subject to a minimum consolidated EBITDA test of $50.0 million, measured at the end of each fiscal quarter based on the four most recent fiscal quarters and a consolidated leverage ratio covenant not to exceed 2.50 to 1.00, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of July 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains events of default that are customary for facilities of this type, including, but not limited to, nonpayment of principal, interest, fees and other amounts when due, failure of any representation or warranty to be true in any material respect when made or deemed made, violation of covenants, cross default with material indebtedness, material judgments, material ERISA liability, bankruptcy events, asserted or actual revocation or invalidity of the loan documents, and change of control.

As of July 31, 2015, the Company classified the outstanding balance under the Facility as long-term debt as it has the intent and ability to refinance such obligations on a long-term basis.

A Swiss subsidiary of the Company maintains unsecured lines of credit with an unspecified length of time with a Swiss bank. As of July 31, 2015 and 2014, these lines of credit totaled 5.0 million Swiss francs with a dollar equivalent of $5.2 million and $5.5 million, respectively. As of July 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no borrowings against these lines. As of July 31, 2015, two European banks have guaranteed obligations to third parties on behalf of two of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in the dollar equivalent of $1.0 million in various foreign currencies.
