Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 8, 2023, The TJX Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) amended its $500 million revolving credit facility by and among the Company, U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), the lenders party thereto, HSBC Bank USA, National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents, and Bank of America, N.A., Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as co-documentation agents, maturing in May 2024 (the “2028 Revolving Credit Facility”), to (i) extend the maturity to May 8, 2028 and (ii) to replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with a term secured overnight financing rate plus a 0.10% credit spread adjustment (“Adjusted Term SOFR”). Term SOFR borrowings under the 2028 Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, bear interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin of 45.0 – 87.5 basis points and a quarterly facility fee payment of 5.0 - 12.5 basis points on the total commitments under the 2028 Revolving Credit Facility, in each case, based on the Company’s long-term debt ratings. All other material terms and conditions of the 2028 Revolving Credit Facility were unchanged.
