ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On October 12, 2006, The Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. (“NMG”), the registrant’s wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an amendment to its senior secured term loan credit facility agreement decreasing the interest rates applicable to borrowings under that facility. A copy of that amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
Borrowings under NMG’s senior secured term loan credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at NMG’s option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the prime rate of Credit Suisse and (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% or (b) a LIBOR rate, subject to certain adjustments, in each case plus an applicable margin.
Under the facility’s amended terms, (a) the applicable margin with respect to base rate borrowings (which was previously 1.50%) on a given date will be 1.00% or 1.25%, depending upon NMG’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the senior secured term loan credit facility agreement) on such date, and (b) the applicable margin with respect to LIBOR borrowings (which was previously 2.50%) on a given date will be 2.00% or 2.25%, also depending upon NMG’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio on such date.
