On March 3, 2022, Macy’s Inventory Funding LLC (the “ABL Borrower”), an indirect subsidiary of Macy’s, Inc. (“Macy’s”), and Macy’s Inventory Holdings LLC (the “ABL Parent”), a direct subsidiary of Macy’s and the direct parent of the ABL Borrower, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the credit agreement governing the existing $2.941 billion asset-based credit facility (the “Existing ABL Credit Facility”), which was set to expire in May 2024. The Amendment provides for a new revolving credit facility of $3.0 billion, including a swingline sub-facility and a letter of credit sub-facility (the “New ABL Credit Facility”). The ABL Borrower may request increases in the size of the New ABL Credit Facility up to an additional aggregate principal amount of $750 million. The New ABL Credit Facility replaces the Existing ABL Credit Facility, with similar collateral support, but reduced interest and unused facility fees. The New ABL Credit Facility matures in March 2027.

The New ABL Credit Facility is secured on a first priority basis (subject to customary exceptions) by (i) all assets of the ABL Borrower including all such inventory and the proceeds thereof and (ii) the equity of the ABL Borrower. The ABL Parent guarantees the ABL Borrower’s obligations under the New ABL Credit Facility.

The New ABL Credit Facility contains customary borrowing conditions including a borrowing base equal to the sum of (i) 90% of the net orderly liquidation percentage of eligible inventory, minus (ii) customary reserves. Amounts borrowed under the New ABL Credit Facility are subject to interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the ABL Borrower’s option, either (i) adjusted SOFR (calculated to include a 0.10% credit adjustment spread) plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.50% or (ii) a base rate plus a margin of 0.25% to 0.50%, in each case depending on revolving line utilization. The New ABL Credit Facility also contains customary covenants that provide for, among other things, limitations on indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, restricted payments, cash hoarding, and prepayment of certain indebtedness as well as customary representations and warranties and events of default typical for credit facilities of this type.

The New ABL Credit Facility also requires Macy’s and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter if (i) certain events of default have occurred and are continuing or (ii) Availability plus Suppressed Availability (each as defined in the New ABL Credit Facility) is less than the greater of (a) 10% of the Loan Cap (as defined in the New ABL Credit Facility) and (b) $250 million, in each case, as of the end of such fiscal quarter.

The above summary of the New ABL Credit Facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 2.03.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
