LONG-TERM DEBT |
Credit Facility |
The Former Credit Facility was with a syndication of lenders and consisted of a $1.45 billion senior secured Former Term Loan and a $200.0 million senior secured Former Revolver. At the consummation of the Merger, the Company drew the full amount of the Former Term Loan and was issued a $4.5 million letter of credit. The letter of credit was subsequently increased to $6.0 million and later reduced to $4.8 million. During Fiscal 2012, we issued $1,142.1 million of the 9.0% Senior Secured First Lien Notes that mature on March 15, 2019 (the “9.0% Senior Secured First Lien Notes”). We used the net proceeds together with cash on hand, to repay $1,154.3 million of indebtedness under the Former Term Loan. |
On September 20, 2012, the Company terminated the Former Credit Facility and entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among Claire’s Inc. (“Parent”), the Company, Credit Suisse AG, as Administrative Agent, and the other Lenders named therein (the “Credit Facility”), pursuant to which the Company replaced the $200.0 million senior secured Former Revolver maturing May 29, 2013 with a $115.0 million five-year senior secured revolving credit facility maturing in 2017. |
Borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) an alternate base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the prime rate in effect on such day, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (3) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%, or (b) a LIBOR rate with respect to any Eurodollar borrowing, determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits in the London Interbank Market for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, adjusted for certain additional costs, in each case plus an applicable margin of 4.50% for LIBOR rate loans and 3.50% for alternate base rate loans. The Company will also pay a facility fee of 0.50% per annum of the committed amount of the Credit Facility whether or not utilized. |
All obligations under the Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by (i) Parent, prior to an initial public offering of the Company’s stock, and (ii) the Company’s existing and future direct or indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. |
All obligations under the Credit Facility, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, by a first priority lien on, (i) all of the Company’s capital stock, prior to an initial public offering of its stock, and (ii) substantially all of the Company’s material owned assets and the material owned assets of subsidiary guarantors, limited in the case of equity interests held by the Company or any subsidiary guarantor in a foreign subsidiary, to 100% of the non-voting equity interests and 65% of the voting equity interests of such foreign subsidiary held directly by the Company or a subsidiary guarantor. The liens securing the Credit Facility rank equally to the liens securing the 9.0% Senior Secured First Lien Notes (described below) and the 6.125% Senior Secured First Lien Notes (described below), and senior to those securing the Senior Secured Second Lien Notes (described below). |
The Credit Facility contains customary provisions relating to mandatory prepayments, voluntary payments, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default; however, it does not contain any covenants that require the Company to maintain any particular financial ratio or other measure of financial performance except that, when the revolving loans and letters of credit outstanding exceed $15.0 million, the Company will be required to comply with a maximum Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio of 5.5 to 1.0 based upon the ratio of its net senior secured first lien debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended. As of February 1, 2014, our Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio was 5.0 to 1.0. In addition, under the Credit Facility, the Company must comply with this maximum Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio requirement, measured as of the most recent four consecutive quarter period for which financial statements have been (or were required to be) delivered to our lenders, at any time we request a borrowing that would result in such outstanding amount exceeding $15.0 million. |
At February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. The Company must also pay customary letter of credit fees and agency fees. As of February 1, 2014, the Company had $6.3 million of letters of credit outstanding. |
|
The Credit Facility also contains various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants limit the Company’s Parent’s and the Company’s restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: |
|
| • | | incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; | | | | | | | | | |
|
| • | | pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments; | | | | | | | | | |
|
| • | | make certain investments; | | | | | | | | | |
|
| • | | sell certain assets; | | | | | | | | | |
|
| • | | create liens; | | | | | | | | | |
|
| • | | consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and | | | | | | | | | |
|
| • | | enter into certain transactions with our affiliates. | | | | | | | | | |
A breach of any of these covenants could result in an event of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. Such actions by those lenders could cause cross defaults under the Company’s other indebtedness. If the Company were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders under the Credit Facility could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. |
10.50% Senior Subordinated Notes |
In connection with the Transactions, the Company issued $335.0 million of 10.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the “Senior Subordinated Notes”). The Senior Subordinated Notes are senior subordinated obligations of the Company and will mature on June 1, 2017. Interest is payable semi-annually at 10.50% per annum, which commenced on December 1, 2007. |
Each of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under the Credit Facility jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee on a senior subordinated basis the performance and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Company under the Senior Subordinated Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise. These guarantees are full and unconditional as defined in Rule 3-10(h)(2) of Regulation S-X. |
The Company may redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes at its option, subject to certain notice provisions, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on June 1 of the years set forth below: |
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Period | | Redemption Price | | | | | | | | | |
2012 | | | 105.25 | % | | | | | | | | |

2014 | | | 101.75 | % | | | | | | | | |
2015 and thereafter | | | 100 | % | | | | | | | | |
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, each holder of the Senior Subordinated Notes has the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Senior Subordinated Notes, at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. |
|
8.875% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes |
On March 4, 2011, the Company issued $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior secured second lien notes that mature on March 15, 2019 (the “Senior Secured Second Lien Notes”). Interest on the Senior Secured Second Lien Notes is payable semi-annually to holders of record at the close of business on March 1 or September 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2011. |
The Senior Secured Second Lien Notes are guaranteed on a second-priority senior secured basis by all of the Company’s existing and future direct or indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Facility. The Senior Secured Second Lien Notes and related guarantees are secured by a second-priority lien on substantially all of the assets that secure the Company’s and its subsidiary guarantors’ obligations under the Credit Facility. These guarantees are full and unconditional as defined in Rule 3-10(h)(2) of Regulation S-X. On or after March 15, 2015, the Company may redeem the Senior Secured Second Lien Notes at its option, subject to certain notice provisions, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on March 15 of the years set forth below: |

Note Covenants |
The Senior Subordinated Notes, Senior Secured Second Lien Notes, 9.0% Senior Secured First Lien Notes, 6.125% Senior Secured First Lien Notes, and 7.75% Senior Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) contain certain covenants that, among other things, are subject to certain exceptions and other basket amounts. These exceptions and basket amounts are intended to provide the Company flexibility to operate its business in the ordinary course. These covenants restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to: |
|
| • | | incur additional indebtedness; | | | | | | | | | |
|
| • | | pay dividends or distributions on its capital stock, repurchase or retire its capital stock and redeem, repurchase or defease any subordinated indebtedness; | | | | | | | | | |
|
| • | | make certain investments; | | | | | | | | | |
|
| • | | create or incur certain liens; | | | | | | | | | |
|
| • | | create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions to us from the Company’s subsidiaries; | | | | | | | | | |
|
| • | | transfer or sell assets; | | | | | | | | | |
|
| • | | engage in certain transactions with its affiliates; and | | | | | | | | | |
|
| • | | merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of its assets. | | | | | | | | | |
Certain of these covenants, such as limitations on the Company’s ability to make certain payments such as dividends, or incur debt, will no longer apply if the Notes have investment grade ratings from both of the rating agencies of Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (“S&P”) and no event of default has occurred. Since the date of issuance of the Notes, the Notes have not received investment grade ratings from Moody’s or S&P. Accordingly, all of the covenants under the Notes currently apply to the Company. None of these covenants, however, require the Company to maintain any particular financial ratio or other measure of financial performance. |
Europe Credit Facilities |
The Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries have bank credit facilities totaling approximately $2.5 million. The facilities are used for working capital requirements, letters of credit and various guarantees. These credit facilities have been arranged in accordance with customary lending practices in the respective country of operation. As of February 1, 2014, there was a reduction of $2.4 million for outstanding bank guarantees, which reduces the borrowing availability to $0.1 million as of that date. |
