Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A.

On May 24, 2018, the Company entered into the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, with Bank of America, N.A., as agent, providing for a secured $140.0 million credit facility.  On April 15, 2020, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”).  The Third Amendment, among other things, (i) extended the current advance rate of 10%, under the “first-in, last out” (FILO) term facility (the “FILO loan”), from May 24, 2020 to December 31, 2020, at which time it will step-down to 7.5%; (ii) lowered the Loan Cap, as described below, and eliminated the springing financial covenant, (iii) increased the Applicable Margins under the FILO and Revolving Facility (defined below) by 150 basis points and (iv) permitted the Company to enter into promissory notes with vendors in satisfaction of outstanding payables for existing goods, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15.0 million (as amended, the “Credit Facility”).

The Credit Facility provides maximum committed borrowings of $125.0 million in revolver loans, with the ability, pursuant to an accordion feature, to increase the Credit Facility by an additional $50.0 million upon the request of the Company and the agreement of the lender(s) participating in the increase (the “Revolving Facility”). The Revolving Facility provides for a sublimit of $20.0 million for commercial and standby letters of credit and up to $15.0 million for swingline loans. The Company’s ability to borrow under the Revolving Facility (the “Loan Cap”) is determined using an availability formula based on eligible assets. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the excess availability under the Credit Facility cannot be less than the greater of (i) 10% of the Revolving Loan Cap (calculated without giving effect to the FILO (first-in, last-out) Push Down Reserve) or (ii) $10.0 million.  The maturity date of the Credit Facility is May 24, 2023. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of its assets.

To help manage its near-term liquidity in light of the uncertainty related to COVID-19 and provide financial flexibility, the Company drew $30.0 million under its secured revolving credit facility in March 2020. At May 2, 2020, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility of $79.8 million, before unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.3 million. At May 2, 2020, outstanding standby letters of credit were $2.8 million and outstanding documentary letters of credit were $1.9 million. Unused excess availability was $16.8 million at May 2, 2020. Average monthly borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility during the first three months of fiscal 2020 were $63.4 million, resulting in an average unused excess availability of approximately $31.7 million. The Company’s ability to borrow under the Revolving Facility was determined using an availability formula based on eligible assets, with increased advance rates based on seasonality.

Borrowings made pursuant to the Revolving Facility bear interest, calculated under either the Federal Funds rate or the LIBOR rate, at a rate equal to the following: (a) the Federal Funds rate plus a varying percentage based on the Company’s excess availability, of either 1.75% or 2.00%, or (b) the LIBOR rate (the Company being able to select interest periods of 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months or 6 months) plus a varying percentage based on the Company’s excess availability, of either 2.75% or 3.00%. The Company was also subject to an unused line fee of 0.25%. At May 2, 2020, the Company’s prime-based interest rate was 5.00%. At May 2, 2020, the Company had approximately $79.5 million of its outstanding borrowings in LIBOR-based contracts with an interest rate of 3.75%. The LIBOR-based contracts expired on May 4, 2020. When a LIBOR-based borrowing expires, the borrowings revert back to prime-based borrowings unless the Company enters into a new LIBOR-based borrowing arrangement.

Borrowings and repayments under the Revolving Facility for the three months ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 were as follows:

The total borrowing capacity under the FILO loan is based on a borrowing base, generally defined as a specified percentage of the value of eligible accounts (including certain trade names) that step down over time, plus a specified percentage of the value of eligible inventory that steps down over time.  The Third Amendment to the Credit Facility extended these advance rates by approximately seven months before they begin to step down.  The FILO loan can be repaid, in whole or in part, subject to certain payment conditions.  The term loan expires on May 24, 2023, if not repaid in full prior to that date.

As a result of extending the advance rates under the FILO loan, the applicable margin rates for borrowings were increased by approximately 150 basis points. Accordingly, borrowings made under the FILO loan will bear interest, calculated under either the Federal Funds rate or the LIBOR rate, at a rate equal to the following: (a) the Federal Funds rate plus a carrying percentage based on the Company’s excess availability, of either 3.75% or 4.00% until May 24, 2021 or 3.25% or 3.50% after May 24, 2021 or (b) the LIBOR rate (the Company being able to select interest periods of 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months or 6 months) plus a varying percentage based on the Company’s excess availability of either 4.75% or 5.00% until May 24, 2021, or 4.25% or 4.50% after May 24, 2021.  At May 2, 2020, the outstanding balance of $15.0 million was in a 1-month LIBOR-based contract with an interest rate of 5.75%.  The LIBOR-based contract expired on May 19, 2020.  When a LIBOR-based contract expires, the borrowings revert back to prime-based borrowings unless the Company enters into a new LIBOR-based borrowing arrangement.

The Company paid interest and fees totaling $0.7 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, respectively.
