As a result of COVID-19 related store closures, the Company was unable to maintain compliance with certain of its non-financial and financial covenants for the period ended May 2, 2020. Additionally, the inclusion of substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 resulted in a violation of affirmative covenants under our ABL Facility and Term Loan.

On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into the TSA with the Consenting Lenders and the Subordinated Lenders to support the Transaction. Subsequently, on September 11, 2020, the Company received the consent of the term loan lenders representing more than 95.0% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the term loan claims under the Company’s previously existing term loan facility (the “Existing Term Facility”) to proceed with the documentation and consummation of the Transaction on an out-of-court basis, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the out-of-court term sheet under the TSA.  Under the TSA, the Company implemented the following series of transactions:

 

a)

an amendment of the Company’s Existing Term Loan Facility (the lenders thereunder, the “Existing Term Lenders”) to, among other things, waive any non-compliance with the terms of the Existing Term Facility;

 

b)

entry into a new senior secured priming term loan facility (the “Priming Credit Agreement” and, the lenders thereunder, the “Priming Lenders”), the proceeds of which have been used to repurchase the term loans under the Existing Term Facility (the “Existing Term Loans”) from the Consenting Lenders;

 

c)

an amendment of the Company’s existing ABL Facility, to, among other things, waive any non-compliance with the terms of the ABL Facility; and

 

d)

the provision by TowerBrook and certain other investors of new capital pursuant to a subordinated term loan facility (the “Subordinated Facility” and, the lenders thereunder, the “Subordinated Lenders”)

Term Loan

On September 30, 2020, in accordance with the TSA, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Term Loan (the “Amendment”). In connection with the Amendment, the Existing Term Lenders:

 

(i)

consented to the entry by the Company into the Priming Facility, the Subordinated Facility and the other transactions contemplated by the TSA; and

 

(ii)

permanently waived any defaults or events of default under the Existing Term Loan Agreement existing on or prior to September 30, 2020.

The Amendment also eliminated substantially all of the covenants and events of default in the Existing Term Facility and provided that no guarantors of, or collateral securing, the Existing Term Loan Agreement were released. The maturity date of the Amended Existing Term Loan Agreement continues to be May 8, 2022. Loans under the Amended Existing Term Loan Agreement continue to accrue interest at LIBOR plus 5.00%, with a minimum LIBOR per annum of 1.00%, with the interest payable on a quarterly basis.  The Company may alternatively elect to accrue interest at a Base Rate (as defined in the Amended Existing Term Loan Agreement) plus 4.00%.

Additionally, in connection with the Amendment, the Company made an offer to all Existing Term Lenders to repurchase 100% of such Existing Term Lenders’ Existing Term Loans, and 97.9% of the Existing Term Lenders accepted the offer.

Priming Loan

On September 30, 2020, in accordance with the TSA, the Company entered into the Priming Term Loan Credit Agreement, which provides for a secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $231.1 million. The proceeds of the Priming Credit Agreement were solely used to repurchase Existing Term Loans from the 97.9% of the Existing Term Loan Lenders that accepted the Company’s offer to purchase Existing Term Loans under the Amendment discussed above. The maturity date of the Priming Credit Agreement is May 8, 2024, and the loans under the Priming Credit Agreement will bear interest at the Company’s election at: (1) Base Rate (as defined in the Priming Credit Agreement) plus 4.00% or (2) LIBOR plus 5.00%, with a minimum LIBOR per annum of 1.00%, with the interest payable on a quarterly basis. The Priming Term Loan Credit Agreement requires a principal paydown of at least $25.0 million by August 30, 2021; otherwise, there will be a Paid-in-Kind (“PIK”) interest rate increase and a PIK fee as follows:

 

If the principal paydown is less than $15.0 million, the PIK interest rate increase will be 5.00%, and the PIK fee will be 7.50%;

 

If the principal paydown is greater than $15.0 million, but less than $20.0 million, the PIK interest rate increase will be 2.00% and the PIK fee will be 5.00%; or

 

If the principal paydown is greater than $20.0 million, but less than $25.0 million, the PIK interest rate increase will be 1.00% and the PIK fee will be 2.00%.

The Company’s obligations under the Priming Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the real and personal property of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exceptions. The Priming Credit Agreement includes customary negative covenants, including covenants limiting the ability of the Company to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens on assets, make investments, loans or advances, engage in mergers, consolidations, sales of assets and purchases, pay dividends and distributions, enter into transactions with affiliates, and make payments in respect of junior indebtedness. The Priming Credit Agreement also has certain financial covenants, including (1) a minimum liquidity covenant that generally requires minimum liquidity on a weekly basis of $15 million, (2) a first lien net leverage ratio that requires compliance beginning in the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2021 with a net leverage ratio of 5:1, which reduces over time, and (3) limits on capital spending of $20 million annually.

In accordance with the Priming Credit Agreement, the Company issued to the Priming Lenders 656,717 shares (after giving effect to the 1-for-5 stock split described herein) of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Equity Consideration”).  We recorded the issuance of shares valued at $2.0 million as equity with the offset as a reduction of the carrying value of the debt.  On May 31, 2021, the Company will have the choice (the “May 31, 2021 Option”) to either (i) repay $4.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the loans under the Priming Credit Agreement, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon or (ii) issue additional shares of Common Stock to the Priming Lenders in an amount equal to the greater of (I) 9.79% of the fully diluted shares of Common Stock as of October 1, 2020 less 656,717 shares and (II) a number of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate value of $0.5 million at the time of such issuance; provided, that the Priming Lenders shall not receive on such date shares of Common Stock having a value greater than $4.75 million at the time of such issuance.   The May 31, 2021 Option was considered an embedded derivative within the Priming Loan.  The Company determined the fair value of the May 31, 2021 Option was $1.4 million at the date of the Transaction, which was recorded within Warrants and derivative liabilities with the offset as a reduction in the carrying value of the debt.  The fair value of the May 31, 2021 Option was determined using an option pricing model with a Monte Carlo simulation.  The difference between the carrying value of the Priming Loan and the principal amount will be accreted over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.  The May 31, 2021 Option was remeasured to its fair value as of the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2020, with the adjustment of $0.3 million being recorded within Other expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.  

Subordinated Facility

On September 30, 2020, in accordance with the TSA, the Company entered into a Subordinated Facility, with the Subordinated Lenders, that provides for a secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $15.0 million with an additional incremental capacity subject to certain customary conditions. The proceeds of the Subordinated Facility have been used for general corporate purposes.

The maturity date of the Subordinated Facility is November 8, 2024. Loans under the Subordinated Facility will bear interest at the Borrower’s election at (1) Base Rate (as defined in the Subordinated Facility) plus 11.00% or (2) LIBOR plus 12.00%, with a minimum LIBOR per annum of 1.00%. The Subordinated Facility is secured by substantially all of the real and personal property of the Company. The Subordinated Facility includes customary negative covenants for subordinated term loan agreements of this type, including covenants limiting the ability of the Company to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens on assets, make investments, loans or advances, engage in mergers, consolidations, sales of assets and purchases, pay dividends and distributions, enter into transactions with affiliates, and make payments in respect of junior indebtedness. The Subordinated Facility also has certain financial covenants, including (1) a minimum liquidity covenant that generally requires minimum liquidity on a weekly basis of $12.75 million, (2) a first lien net leverage ratio that requires compliance beginning in the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2021 with a net leverage ratio of 5.75:1, which reduces over time, and (3) limits on capital spending of $23 million annually.

In accordance with the Subordinated Facility, the Company issued Penny Warrants to the Subordinated Lenders, which, upon exercise, would grant the Subordinated Lenders 3,720,109 shares (after giving effect to the 1-for-5 stock split described herein) of common stock of the Company.  The terms of the warrants include antidilution provisions, including a change to the conversion ratio if the Company chooses to issue additional shares to the Priming Lenders on May 31, 2021 rather than making a principal payment of $4.9 million.  We recorded a reduction to the carrying value of the subordinated debt of $11.8 million due to the issuance of the Penny Warrants As a result of the antidilution provisions, the Penny Warrants have been recognized as a liability within Warrants and derivative liabilities, rather than equity, on the Balance Sheet and were remeasured to their fair value as of the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2020, with the adjustment of $1.3 million being recorded within Other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The difference between the carrying value of the Subordinated Facility and the principal amount will be accreted over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.  

Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement

The Company is party to a secured $40.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility agreement with a maturity date of May 8, 2023.  On September 30, 2020, in accordance with the TSA, the Company entered into an amendment to the ABL Facility, whereby the ABL lenders (i) consented to the Company’s entry into the Priming Facility, the Subordinated Facility and other transactions contemplated by the TSA and (ii) permanently waived any defaults or events of default under the ABL Facility on or prior to September 30, 2020.  As of October 31, 2020, there was no outstanding balance under the ABL Facility, and $2.7 million letters of credit outstanding. The undrawn borrowing availability under the ABL Facility was $37.3 million.
