Interest; Fees
The interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the Debt Facilities are based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to, at the borrowers’ election, either (i) an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a borrowing margin, or (ii) an alternative base rate plus a borrowing margin. The borrowing margin is fixed for the Term Loan Facility at 3.25% in the case of LIBOR loans and 2.25% in the case of base rate loans. For the Term Loan Facility, LIBOR is subject to a 1% interest rate floor. The borrowing margin for the ABL Facility is subject to adjustment based on the average excess availability under the ABL Facility for the preceding fiscal quarter, and may range from 1.50% to 2.00% in the case of LIBOR borrowings and may range from 0.50% to 1.00% in the case of base rate borrowings.
Customary agency fees are payable pursuant to the terms of the Debt Facilities. The ABL Facility fees also include (i) commitment fees, based on a percentage ranging from approximately 0.25% to 0.375% of the daily unused portions of the ABL Facility, and (ii) customary letter of credit fees.
Representations and Warranties; Covenants
Subject to specified exceptions, the Debt Facilities contain various representations and warranties and restrictive covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of Lands’ End and its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness (including guarantees), grant liens, make investments, make dividends or distributions with respect to capital stock, make prepayments on other indebtedness, engage in mergers or change the nature of their business. In addition, if excess availability under the ABL Facility falls below the greater of 10% of the loan cap amount or $15.0 million, Lands’ End will be required to comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. The Debt Facilities do not otherwise contain financial maintenance covenants. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants related to the Debt Facilities as of October 27, 2017.
The Debt Facilities contain certain affirmative covenants, including reporting requirements such as delivery of financial statements, certificates and notices of certain events, maintaining insurance, and providing additional guarantees and collateral in certain circumstances.
New ABL Facility
Subsequent to the balance sheet date, on November 16, 2017, the Company entered into an asset-based lending credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, which provides for maximum borrowings of $175.0 million for the Company, subject to a borrowing base. The New ABL Facility has a letter of credit sub-limit of $70.0 million. The New ABL Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The New ABL Facility will mature no later than November 16, 2022, subject to customary extension provisions provided for therein.
Also on November 16, 2017, in connection with the effectiveness of the New ABL Facility, the company terminated its existing ABL Facility, dated as of April 4, 2014, among the Company, Lands’ End Europe Limited, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, terminated all loan related documents and repaid all outstanding amounts thereunder.
Guarantees; Security for the New ABL Facility
All obligations under the New ABL Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and, subject to certain exceptions, each of its existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries.
The New ABL Facility is secured by (1) a first priority security interest in certain working capital of the Company and guarantors consisting primarily of accounts receivable and inventory and (2) a second priority security interest in certain property and assets of the Company and guarantors, including certain fixed assets and stock of subsidiaries.
Interest; Fees for New ABL Facility
The interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the New ABL Facility are based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to, at the Company’s election, either (1) an adjusted LIBOR plus a borrowing margin, or (2) an alternative base rate plus a borrowing margin. The borrowing margin for the New ABL Facility is subject to adjustment based on the average daily availability under the ABL Facility for the preceding fiscal quarter, and may range from 1.25% to 1.75% in the case of LIBOR borrowings and may range from 0.50% to 1.00% in the case of base rate borrowings.
