RH (OTCMKTS:BLNKF) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive AgreementItem 1.01.
Second Lien Credit Agreement
On July7, 2017, Restoration Hardware, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of RH, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), dated as of July7, 2017, among Restoration Hardware, Inc., as lead borrower, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, each of whom are funds and accounts managed or advised by Apollo Capital Management, L.P., and its affiliated investment managers, and Wilmington Trust, National Association as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Second Lien Administrative Agent”) with respect to an initial term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $100,000,000 with a maturity date of January7, 2023 (the “Second Lien Term Loan”).
The Second Lien Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate generally based on LIBOR plus 8.25%. This rate is a floating rate that resets periodically based upon changes in LIBOR rates during the life of the Second Lien Term Loan. At the date of borrowing, the rate was set at one month LIBOR plus 8.25%.
All obligations under the Second Lien Term Loan are secured by a second lien security interest in assets of the loan parties including inventory, receivables and certain types of intellectual property. The second lien security interest is granted with respect to substantially the same collateral that secures the Eleventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated June28, 2017 (the “ABL First Lien Credit Agreement”), among Restoration Hardware, Inc., as lead borrower, various other subsidiaries of RH named therein as borrowers, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “First Lien Administrative Agent). The second lien ranks junior in priority and is subordinated to the first lien in favor of the lenders with respect to the ABL First Lien Credit Agreement.
The borrowings under the Second Lien Credit Agreement may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, subject to certain minimum payment requirements including a prepayment premium in the amount of 3.0% of the Second Lien Term Loan.
The Second Lien Credit Agreement contains various restrictive and affirmative covenants generally in line with the covenants and restrictions contained in the ABL First Lien Credit Agreement including required financial reporting, a negative pledge limiting the granting of liens, limitations on making certain loans or investments other than permitted investments, an incurrence test with respect to additional indebtedness, restricted payment limitations limiting the payment of dividends and certain other transactions and distributions, limits on transactions with affiliates, along with other restrictions and limitations similar to those frequently found in credit agreements of a similar type and size.
The Second Lien Credit Agreement contains a financial ratio covenant not found in the ABL First Lien Credit Agreement based upon a senior secured leverage ratio of consolidated secured debt to consolidated EBITDA as follows:
| • | The senior secured leverage ratio test is based on the ratio of (i)the sum of (a)all obligations outstanding under the Second Lien Term Loan and the ABL First Lien Credit Agreement plus (b)all other secured indebtedness of RH and certain of its subsidiaries that is (x)senior or pari passu to the lien on the Second Lien Term Loan collateral and (y)secured by property that does not constitute Second Lien Term Loan collateral under the Second Lien Term Loan, less (c)all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of RH and certain of its subsidiaries, to (ii)consolidated EBITDA of RH and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Senior Secured Leverage Ratio”). |
| • | The Senior Secured Leverage Ratio may not exceed 5:00 to 1:00 at any time and new certain types of indebtedness may not be incurred by Restoration Hardware, Inc. or its material subsidiaries that would cause this ratio to exceed 4:00 to 1:00 upon the incurrence of such new indebtedness. |
The Second Lien Credit Agreement also contains a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio generally based on the same formulation set forth in the ABL First Lien Credit Agreement such that the borrower may not make certain “restricted payments” in the event that the ratio of (i)consolidated EBITDA to the amount of (ii)debt service costs plus certain other costs is less than 1.00 to 1.00 (the “FCCR Covenant”) and the level of unused availability under the ABL First Lien Credit Agreement drops below certain levels.
The Second Lien Credit Agreement also contains certain events of default and other customary terms and conditions for a second lien credit agreement.
The above description is a summary of certain terms of the Second Lien Credit Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Lien Credit Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Intercreditor Agreement
On July7, 2017, in connection with the Second Lien Credit Agreement, Restoration Hardware, Inc. entered into an Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) with the First Lien Administrative Agent and the Second Lien Administrative Agent. The Intercreditor Agreement establishes various customary inter-lender terms, including, without limitation, with respect to priority of liens, permitted actions by each party, application of proceeds, exercise of remedies in case of default, releases of liens and certain limitations on the amendment of the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement without the consent of the other party.
The above description is a summary of certain terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Intercreditor Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 1.01 | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
The disclosure under Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.
