(“JA Holding”), the parent company of the American clothing brand, Joseph Abboud®, for approximately $97.5 million in cash consideration, subject to certain adjustments.  The transaction closed on August 6, 2013.   On August 6, 2013, we borrowed $100.0 million under the term loan provision of our Credit Agreement to fund the acquisition of JA Holding.  The rate on the term loan is based on the monthly LIBOR rate plus 1.75%.  In conjunction with the loan, we also entered into an interest rate swap for $100.0 million, in which the variable rate payments due under the term loan will be exchanged for a fixed rate of 1.27%, resulting in a combined interest rate of 3.02%.  The interest rate swap qualifies for hedge accounting treatment under authoritative guidance which will result in changes in the fair value of the swap being recorded as an adjustment to comprehensive income within equity. </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for significant events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
