5. Debt

In 2014, The Men's Wearhouse entered into a term loan credit agreement that provided for a senior secured term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion (the "Original Term Loan") and a $500.0 million asset-based revolving credit agreement (the "ABL Facility", and together with the Original Term Loan, the "Credit Facilities") with certain of our U.S. subsidiaries and Moores the Suit People Inc., one of our Canadian subsidiaries, as co-borrowers. Proceeds from the Original Term Loan were reduced by an $11.0 million original issue discount ("OID"), which was presented as a reduction of the outstanding balance on the Original Term Loan on the balance sheet and amortized to interest expense over the contractual life of the Original Term Loan. In addition, in 2014, The Men's Wearhouse issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "Senior Notes").

In October 2017, The Men’s Wearhouse amended the ABL Facility in part to increase the principal amount available to $550.0 million and extend the maturity date to October 2022. In April 2018, The Men’s Wearhouse refinanced its Original Term Loan. See Credit Facilities section below for additional information.

The Credit Facilities and the Senior Notes contain customary non-financial and financial covenants, including fixed charge coverage ratios, total leverage ratios and secured leverage ratios. Should our total leverage ratio and secured leverage ratio exceed certain thresholds specified in the agreements, we would be subject to certain additional restrictions, including limitations on our ability to make significant acquisitions and incur additional indebtedness. As of August 4, 2018, our total leverage ratio and secured leverage ratio are below these thresholds and we believe these ratios will remain below the thresholds specified in the agreements for the foreseeable future, which results in the elimination of these additional restrictions. In addition, as a result of the refinancing of our Original Term Loan and amending of our ABL Facility, our ability to pay dividends on our common stock has increased from a maximum of $10.0 million per quarter to a maximum of $15.0 million per quarter.

Credit Facilities

In April 2018, we refinanced our Original Term Loan. Immediately prior to the refinancing, the Original Term Loan consisted of $593.4 million in aggregate principal amount with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.50% (with a floor of 1.0%) and $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount with a fixed rate of 5.0% per annum. Upon entering into the refinancing, we made a prepayment of $93.4 million on the Original Term Loan using cash on hand.

As a result, we refinanced $900.0 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans then outstanding with a new Term Loan totaling $900.0 million (the “New Term Loan”). Additionally, we may continue to request additional term loans or incremental equivalent debt borrowings, all of which are uncommitted, in an aggregate amount up to the greater of (1) $250.0 million and (2) an aggregate principal amount such that, on a pro forma basis (giving effect to such borrowings), our senior secured leverage ratio will not exceed 2.5 to 1.0.

The New Term Loan will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company’s option, either LIBOR (with a floor of 1.0%) or the base rate (with a floor of 2.0%). The margins for borrowings under the New Term Loan are 3.50% for LIBOR and 2.50% for the base rate. The New Term Loan will amortize in an annual amount equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of the New Term Loan, payable quarterly commencing on May 1, 2018. Proceeds from the New Term Loan were reduced by a $4.5 million OID, which is presented as a reduction of the outstanding balance on the New Term Loan on the balance sheet and will be amortized to interest expense over the contractual life of the New Term Loan.

The New Term Loan extends the maturity date of the Original Term Loan from June 18, 2021 until April 9, 2025, subject to a springing maturity provision that would accelerate the maturity of the New Term Loan to April 1, 2022 if any of the Company’s obligations under its Senior Notes remain outstanding on April 1, 2022.

The interest rate on the New Term Loan is based on 1-month LIBOR, which was 2.08% at August 4, 2018, plus the applicable margin of 3.50%, resulting in a total interest rate of 5.58%. We have two interest rate swap agreements where the variable rates due under the New Term Loan have been exchanged for a fixed rate, including a new interest rate swap entered into during June 2018. At August 4, 2018, the total notional amount under these interest rate swaps is $715.0 million. Please see Note 15 for additional information on our interest rate swaps.

As a result of our interest rate swaps, 80% of the variable interest rate under the New Term Loan has been converted to a fixed rate. As of August 4, 2018, the New Term Loan had a weighted average interest rate of 5.90%.

In connection with the refinancing of the New Term Loan, we incurred deferred financing costs of $5.6 million, which will be amortized over the life of the New Term Loan using the interest method. In addition, as a result of the refinancing, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $11.9 million consisting of the elimination of unamortized deferred financing costs and OID related to the Original Term Loan, which is included as a separate line in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.

In October 2017, we amended our ABL Facility, which now provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of $550.0 million, with possible future increases to $650.0 million under an expansion feature, that matures in October 2022, and is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Tailored Brands, Inc. and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. The ABL Facility has several borrowing and interest rate options including the following indices: (i) adjusted LIBOR, (ii) Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR") rate, (iii) Canadian prime rate or (iv) an alternate base rate (equal to the greater of the prime rate, the New York Federal Reserve Bank (“NYFRB”) rate plus 0.5% or adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.0%). Advances under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum using the applicable indices plus a varying interest rate margin of up to 1.75%. The ABL Facility also provides for fees applicable to amounts available to be drawn under outstanding letters of credit which range from 1.25% to 1.75%, and a fee on unused commitments of 0.25%. As of August 4, 2018, $104.5 million in borrowings were outstanding under the ABL Facility at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.8%. During the six months ended August 4, 2018, the maximum borrowing outstanding under the ABL Facility was $104.5 million.

The obligations under the Credit Facilities are secured on a senior basis by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company, The Men’s Wearhouse and its U.S. subsidiaries and, in the case of the ABL Facility, Moores The Suit People Inc. The Credit Facilities and the related guarantees and security interests granted thereunder are senior secured obligations of, and will rank equally with all present and future senior indebtedness of the Company, the co-borrowers and the respective guarantors.

We utilize letters of credit primarily as collateral for workers compensation claims and to secure inventory purchases. At August 4, 2018, letters of credit totaling approximately $33.9 million were issued and outstanding. Borrowings available under the ABL Facility as of August 4, 2018 were $332.1 million.

Senior Notes

The Senior Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis by Tailored Brands, Inc. and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. The Senior Notes and the related guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and the guarantors, respectively, and will rank equally with all of the Company's and each guarantor's present and future senior indebtedness. The Senior Notes will mature in July 2022. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable in January and July of each year.

During the second quarter of 2018, we completed a partial redemption of $175.0 million in face value of our Senior Notes. The Senior Notes were redeemed at a redemption price equal to $1,035 per $1,000 principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. As a result, we recorded a net loss on extinguishment totaling $8.1 million, which is included as a separate line in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings. The net loss on extinguishment reflects a $6.1 million loss upon repurchase of the Senior Notes and the elimination of unamortized deferred financing costs totaling $2.0 million related to the Senior Notes.

For the six months ended August 4, 2018, as a result of the partial redemption of $175.0 million in face value of our Senior Notes as well as the repurchase and retirement of $17.6 million in face value of Senior Notes through open market transactions, we recorded a net loss on extinguishment totaling $8.9 million, which is included as a separate line in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings. The net loss on extinguishment reflects a $6.7 million loss upon repurchase and the elimination of unamortized deferred financing costs totaling $2.2 million related to the Senior Notes.
