Total debt repayments for the next five years exceed the carrying amount of the Company’s Term Loan A facility and 4 1/2% senior unsecured notes due 2022 as of October 29, 2017 because the carrying amounts reflect the unamortized portions of debt issuance costs and the original issue discounts.

As of October 29, 2017, after taking into account the effect of the Company’s interest rate swap agreement, which was in effect as of such date, approximately 60% of the Company’s long-term debt was at a fixed interest rate, with the remainder at variable interest rates.

2016 Senior Secured Credit Facilities

The Company has senior secured credit facilities due May 19, 2021 (the “2016 facilities”) that consist of a $2,347.4 million United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A facility and senior secured revolving credit facilities consisting of (a) a $475.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility, (b) a $25.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Canadian dollars and (c) a €185.9 million euro-denominated revolving credit facility available in euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen or Swiss francs. Borrowings under the 2016 facilities bear interest at variable rates calculated in a manner as set forth in the terms of the 2016 facilities.

The Company had prior senior secured credit facilities outstanding through May 19, 2016 (the “2014 facilities”), which were amended by the 2016 facilities in the second quarter of 2016. Among other things, this amendment provided for (i) the Company to borrow an additional $582.0 million principal amount of loans under the Term Loan A facility, (ii) the repayment of all outstanding loans under the previously outstanding Term Loan B facility with the proceeds of the additional loans under the Term Loan A facility, and (iii) the termination of the Term Loan B facility. The Company paid debt issuance costs of $10.9 million (of which $4.6 million was expensed as debt modification costs and $6.3 million is being amortized over the term of the related debt agreement) and recorded debt extinguishment costs of $11.2 million to write-off previously capitalized debt issuance costs.

The Company had loans outstanding of $1,991.6 million, net of original issue discounts and debt issuance costs, under the Term Loan A facility and $190.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facilities as of October 29, 2017. The senior secured revolving credit facilities also include amounts available for letters of credit. As of October 29, 2017, the Company had $22.6 million of outstanding letters of credit.

The Company made payments of $50.0 million and $251.3 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2017 and October 30, 2016, respectively, on its term loans under the 2016 facilities and 2014 facilities. As a result of the voluntary repayments made by the Company, as of October 29, 2017, the Company is not required to make a long-term debt repayment until December 2018.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a two-year term commencing on February 20, 2018. The agreement was designed with the intended effect of converting an initial notional amount of $306.5 million of the Company’s variable rate debt obligation to fixed rate debt. Under the terms of the agreement for the then-outstanding notional amount, the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the one-month London Interbank Borrowing rate (“LIBOR”) will be eliminated and the Company will pay a fixed rate of 1.566%, plus the current applicable margin.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a two-year term commencing on February 17, 2016. The agreement was designed with the intended effect of converting an initial notional amount of $682.6 million of the Company’s variable rate debt obligation to fixed rate debt. Such agreement remains outstanding with a notional amount of $678.9 million as of October 29, 2017. Under the terms of the agreement for the then-outstanding notional amount, the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the one-month LIBOR is eliminated and the Company will pay a weighted average fixed rate of 1.924%, plus the current applicable margin.

The notional amount of any outstanding interest rate swap will be adjusted according to a pre-set schedule during the term of the applicable swap agreement such that, based on the Company’s projections for future debt repayments, the Company’s outstanding debt under the Term Loan A facility is expected to always equal or exceed the combined notional amount of the then-outstanding interest rate swaps.

The Company paid €6.4 million (approximately $7.3 million based on exchange rates in effect on the payment date) of fees during the second quarter of 2016 in connection with the issuance of these notes, which are amortized over the term of the notes. The Company may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to April 15, 2024 by paying a “make whole” premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
