On March 17, 2021, Macy’s Retail Holdings, LLC (“MRH”), a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Macy’s, Inc., issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) in a private offering (the “Notes Offering”). The 2029 Notes mature on April 1, 2029. The 2029 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of MRH and are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Macy’s, Inc. MRH used the net proceeds from the Notes Offering, together with cash on hand, to fund the tender offer discussed below.

On March 17, 2021, the Company completed a tender offer in which $500 million of senior notes and debentures were tendered for early settlement and purchased by MRH. The total cash cost for the tender offer was $17 million with the remainder funded through the net proceeds from the Notes Offering discussed above. The Company recognized $11 million of losses on early retirement of debt during the first quarter of 2021.

On June 8, 2020, the Company issued $1.3 billion aggregate principal amount of 8.375% senior secured notes due 2025. The 2025 Notes bore interest at a rate of 8.375% per annum, which accrued from June 8, 2020 and was payable in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2020. The 2025 Notes mature on June 15, 2025, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased, and were subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the related indenture. The 2025 Notes were issued by Macy’s, Inc. and were secured on a first-priority basis by (i) a first mortgage/deed of trust in certain real property of subsidiaries of Macy’s, Inc. that was transferred to subsidiaries of PropCo, a newly created direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Macy’s, Inc., and (ii) a pledge by Propco of the equity interests in its subsidiaries that own such transferred real property. The 2025 Notes were, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed on a secured basis by Propco and its subsidiaries and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by MRH, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Macy’s, Inc. In fiscal 2021, the Company redeemed the entire outstanding $1.3 billion aggregate principal amount.

On June 8, 2020, the ABL Borrower, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and its parent, the ABL Parent, entered into the ABL Credit Facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto. The ABL Credit Facility provides the ABL Borrower with a $2,941 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving ABL Facility”), including a swingline sub-facility and a letter of credit sub-facility. The ABL Borrower may request increases in the size of the Revolving ABL Facility up to an additional aggregate principal amount of $750 million. As of January 29, 2022, the Company had $116 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility, which reduces the available borrowing capacity. There were $585 million of borrowings and repayments under the ABL Credit Facility in fiscal 2021 and therefore no borrowings outstanding as of January 29, 2022. There were no borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility in 2020.

Additionally, on June 8, 2020 and concurrently with closing the ABL Credit Facility, the ABL Borrower purchased all presently existing inventory, and assumed the liabilities in respect of all presently existing and outstanding trade payables owed to vendors in respect of such inventory, from MRH and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of MRH. The 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 guaranteed the ABL Borrower’s obligations under the ABL Credit Facility. The Revolving ABL Facility matures on May 9, 2024.

The ABL Credit Facility contains customary borrowing conditions including a borrowing base equal to the sum of (a) 80% (which automatically increased to 90% during fiscal 2021 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the delivery of an initial appraisal of the inventory) of the net orderly liquidation percentage of eligible inventory, minus (b) customary reserves. Amounts borrowed under the ABL Credit Facility are subject to interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) prior to the Step Down Date (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility), at the ABL Borrower’s option, either (a) adjusted LIBOR plus a margin of 2.75% to 3.00% or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.00%, in each case depending on revolving line utilization and (ii) after the Step Down Date, at the ABL Borrower’s option, either (a) adjusted LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25% to 2.50% or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.50%, in each case depending on revolving line utilization. The 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 ABL Credit Facility also requires (1) the Company 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 on or after April 30, 2021, if (a) certain events of default have occurred and are continuing or (b) Availability plus Suppressed Availability (each as defined in the ABL Credit Facility) is less than the greater of (x) 10% of the Loan Cap (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility) and (y) $250 million, in each case, as of the end of such fiscal quarter and (2) prior to April 30, 2021, that the ABL Borrower not permit Availability plus Suppressed Availability to be lower than the greater of (x) 10% of the Loan Cap and (y) $250 million.

On June 8, 2020, the Company substantially reduced the credit commitments of its existing $1,500 million unsecured credit agreement, which as of both January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021 provided the Company with unsecured revolving credit of up to $1 million.

The following summarizes certain components of the Company’s other debt obligations:

On May 9, 2019, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with certain financial institutions that replaced the previous credit agreement which was set to expire on May 6, 2021. Similar to the previous agreement, the new credit agreement provided for revolving credit borrowings and letters of credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,500 million (which could increase to $1,750 million at the option of the Company, subject to the willingness of existing or new lenders to provide commitments for such additional financing). The new credit agreement is scheduled to expire on May 9, 2024, subject to up to two one-year extensions that could be requested by the Company and agreed to by the lenders. The unsecured revolving credit facility contains covenants that provide for, among other things, limitations on fundamental changes, use of proceeds, and maintenance of property, as well as customary representations and warranties and events of default. As of January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, there were no revolving credit loans outstanding under the credit agreement.

The senior notes and the senior debentures are unsecured obligations of a 100%-owned subsidiary of Macy’s, Inc. and Parent has fully and unconditionally guaranteed these obligations.

There were $116 million and $142 million, respectively, of other standby letters of credit outstanding at January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021.

On March 3, 2022, the ABL Borrower entered into a third amendment to the ABL Credit Facility which 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 New ABL Credit Facility replaces the ABL Credit Facility, with consistent collateral support, but reduced interest and unused facility fees. 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 matures in March 2027.

On March 8, 2022, MRH completed a tender offer in which $8 million of senior secured notes (“Second Lien Notes”) were tendered for early settlement and purchased by MRH in an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount. Pursuant to the indenture governing the Second Lien Notes, the collateral that secured the remaining $352 million of Second Lien Notes was automatically released on March 8, 2022.

On March 10, 2022, MRH issued $850 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes in two separate tranches, one representing $425 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) and the other representing $425 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.125% senior notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”), in a private offering. The 2030 Notes mature on March 15, 2030 and the 2032 Notes mature on March 15, 2032. Each of the 2030 Notes and 2032 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of MRH and are unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by Macy’s, Inc. Proceeds from the issuance, together with cash on hand, were used to redeem certain of its outstanding senior notes and pay fees and expenses in connection with the offering.
