Revolving Credit Facility

12.  Revolving Credit Facility

On January 27, 2012, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “2011 Restated Credit Agreement”) with its banks. The 2011 Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $200 million asset based revolving credit facility maturing on January 27, 2017. In addition, during the term of the 2011 Restated Credit Agreement, the Company may make up to four requests for additional credit commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200 million. Interest is based on the LIBOR rate in effect at the time of the borrowing plus a 1.25 to 1.50 percent margin depending on certain provisions as defined in the 2011 Restated Credit Agreement.

The 2011 Restated Credit Agreement provides for a security interest in certain of the Company’s domestic assets, including certain inventory assets, but excluding intellectual property. The Company is not required to comply with any financial covenants as long as there are no outstanding borrowings. With regard to the payment of dividends and share repurchases, there are no restrictions if the Company is not borrowing and the payments are funded through cash on hand. If the Company is borrowing, Availability as of the end of each fiscal month during the subsequent projected six fiscal months following the payment must be at least 20 percent of the lesser of the Aggregate Commitments and the Borrowing Base (all terms as defined in the 2011 Restated Credit Agreement). The Company’s management does not currently expect to borrow under the facility in 2013, other than amounts used to support standby letters of credit.

At February 2, 2013, the Company had unused domestic lines of credit of $199 million, while $1 million was committed to support standby letters of credit. The letters of credit are primarily used for insurance programs.

Deferred financing fees are amortized over the life of the facility on a straight-line basis, which is comparable to the interest method. The unamortized balance at February 2, 2013 is $3 million.

The quarterly facility fees paid on the unused portion was 0.25 percent and 0.75 percent for 2012 and 2011, respectively. There were no short-term borrowings during 2012 or 2011. Interest expense, including facility fees, related to the revolving credit facility was $1 million for 2012 and $4 million for both 2011 and 2010.
