SALLY BEAUTY HOLDINGS,INC. (NYSE:SBH) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive AgreementItem 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
and
Item 8.01.Other Events
On July6, 2017, Sally Beauty Holdings,Inc. (the “Company”) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sally Holdings LLC (“Sally Holdings”) and Sally Capital,Inc. (“Sally Capital” and, together with Sally Holdings, the “Borrowers”), consummated the previously-announced redemption of the entire $850.0 million aggregate principal amount of their 5.75% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”), at a redemption price equal to 102.875% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. The redemption was effected in accordance with the indenture governing the Notes to a conditional notice of redemption dated June6, 2017.
Also on July6, 2017, in connection with such redemption of the 2022 Notes, the Company announced that the Company, the Borrowers, and certain of the Company’s other direct and indirect subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the lenders and other parties thereto providing for a term loan B facility (the “TLB”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $850.0 million, all of the net proceeds of which were used to fund a portion of the redemption of the 2022 Notes. A portion of the TLB in an aggregate principal amount equal to $550.0 million (the “TLB-1”) will bear interest at a floating rate equal to, at the Borrowers option, either the London Interbank Offered Rate from time to time in effect plus 2.50% or a Base Rate plus 1.50%. A portion of the TLB in the aggregate principal amount equal to $300.0 million (the “TLB-2”) will bear interest at a fixed rate throughout the term equal to 4.50%. The TLB matures on July5, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). The principal of the TLB-1 shall be repayable in quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the TLB, with a final installment equal to the entire remaining outstanding principal amount due on the Maturity Date. The principal amount of the TLB-2 shall be due in a single installment on the Maturity Date. The TLB is secured by a first-priority lien in and upon substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries other than the accounts, inventory (and the proceeds thereof) and other assets that secure the ABL Facility (as defined below) on a first-priority basis (the “ABL Priority Collateral”).
The TLB is secured by a second-priority lien in and upon the ABL Priority Collateral. The TLB does not contain any financial maintenance covenants and is subject to a covenant package that is substantially consistent with the covenant package governing the Company’s remaining outstanding senior notes. The TLB is subject to a customary asset sale mandatory prepayment provision and the TLB-1 is subject to a customary excess cash flow mandatory prepayment provision. The TLB-1 is subject to a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the principal amount thereof upon any refinancing or amendment thereof that results in a reduced effective yield (subject to certain exceptions) within six months following the closing. Thereafter, the TLB-1 may be prepaid without penalty or premium, other than customary LIBOR breakage for prepayments that are made prior to the last date of an interest period. The TLB-2 is subject to a
make-whole prepayment premium with respect to any voluntary prepayment thereof within the first year after closing. The TLB-2 is voluntarily prepayable at 102% of the principal amount thereof if prepaid more than one year after the closing date and less than two years after the closing date and is voluntarily prepayable at 101% of the principal amount thereof if prepaid more than two years after the closing date and less than three years after the closing date. Thereafter, the TLB-2 may be prepaid without penalty or premium.
Simultaneously with the entry into the TLB, the Company and certain of the Company’s indirect and direct subsidiaries that are borrowers or guarantors (the “Loan Parties”) also entered into that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “ABL Facility”) among the Loan Parties, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative, collateral and Canadian agent and the lenders named therein, which amended and restated in its entirety that certain Credit Agreement dated as of November12, 2010, as amended (the “Prior ABL Facility”), and, among other things, extended the maturity date to July5, 2022, reduced pricing and improved certain other covenant and reporting terms. The ABL Facility will continue to be secured by a first-priority lien in and upon the accounts and inventory (and the proceeds thereof) of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. The ABL Facility will be secured by a second-priority lien in and upon the remaining assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. The ABL Facility will continue to provide for revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount equal to $500.0 million (with availability thereunder subject to a customary borrowing base consistent with the Prior ABL Facility). The ABL Facility will also continue to have a $25.0 million Canadian subfacility and the Company’s foreign subsidiaries will continue to have access to the ABL Facility upon certain terms and conditions. The remaining terms of the amended ABL facility are substantially the same as those of the Prior ABL Facility.
The foregoing descriptions of the TLB and the ABL Facility do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of the TLB and the ABL Facility, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
