Senior Revolving Credit Facility
On March 21, 2014, the Company amended and restated its senior secured revolving credit facility to extend the term through March 2019, subject to shortening if obligations under the Company's 7.75% Euro senior notes due 2018 (the "2018 Euro Notes") are outstanding on February 13, 2018. The terms of the amended and restated credit facility are similar to the terms under the original credit facility, except that of the maximum availability of $850.0 million, $350.0 million is secured by the U.S. Levi's® trademarks, an increase from the $250.0 million in the original credit facility. The interest rate for borrowings under the credit facility was reduced from LIBOR plus 150275 basis points to LIBOR plus 125200 basis points, depending on borrowing base availability, and the range of the rate for undrawn availability was reduced from 37.550 basis points to 2530 basis points (depending on the Company's credit ratings). All other terms of the original credit agreement, including, without limitation, guarantees and security, covenants, and events of default, have not been materially changed as a result of the amended and restated credit agreement and remain in full force and effect. During the nine months ended August 24, 2014, the Company recorded a loss of $1.0 million on early extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.
The Company’s unused availability under its senior secured revolving credit facility was $606.0 million at August 24, 2014, as the Company’s total availability of $667.0 million was reduced by $61.0 million of letters of credit and other credit usage allocated under the credit facility.
Redemption of Euro Senior Notes due 2018
On May 15, 2014, the Company redeemed €150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2018 Euro Notes at a redemption price specified in the indenture governing the 2018 Euro Notes of 103.875% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The Company used borrowings of $100.0 million from its senior secured revolving credit facility and cash on hand to fund the redemption. During the nine months ended August 24, 2014, the Company recorded a loss of $10.2 million on early extinguishment of debt, which was comprised of redemption premiums of $8.0 million and the write-off of $2.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs.
Interest Rates on Borrowings
The Company’s weighted-average interest rate on average borrowings outstanding during the three and nine months ended August 24, 2014, was 7.40% and 7.74%, respectively, as compared to 7.75% and 7.44%, respectively, in the same periods of 2013.
