Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 15, 2013, HD Supply, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to its $1,000,000,000 term loan facility (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of April 12, 2012, by and among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders and financial institutions from time to time party thereto. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company’s option, either LIBOR (subject to a 1.25% floor) or the base rate. The Amendment reduced the applicable margin for borrowings under the Credit Agreement from 6.0% for LIBOR borrowings and 5.0% for base rate borrowings to 3.25% for LIBOR borrowings and 2.25% for base rate borrowings. The Amendment also replaced the hard call provision applicable to optional prepayment of term loans thereunder with a soft call option. The soft call option provides for a premium equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of term loans being prepaid if, on or prior to August 15, 2013, the Company enters into certain repricing transactions.
