Outfitters, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) entered into asset-based credit facilities (the &#147;Credit Facilities&#148;) evidenced by, among other documents, an amended and restated credit agreement (the &#147;Credit Agreement&#148;) among the
Company, as borrower, certain of its domestic and Canadian subsidiaries, as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">co-borrowers</FONT> or guarantors, the lenders party thereto (&#147;Lenders&#148;), PNC Bank, National Association (&#147;PNC&#148;), in its
capacity as administrative agent (the &#147;Agent&#148;), PNC Capital Markets, LLC, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, and certain other parties and agents. The
Credit Agreement provides for an amended and restated senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility, including revolving loans and letters of credit, pursuant to which the Lenders from time to time will lend to and the issuing banks will
issue letters of credit for the account of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries in the aggregate amount of up to $400&nbsp;million, which includes a swing line loan revolving facility, a Canadian revolving facility, and letter of credit
facilities. The Credit Facilities also include an uncommitted incremental feature (accordion) that could increase the aggregate principal amount up to an additional $150&nbsp;million. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company and its domestic and Canadian subsidiaries, other than certain excluded subsidiaries, have granted to the Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders
and other secured parties), as collateral security for the obligations under the Credit Facilities, banking service agreements (including specified commercial letter of credit agreements) and swap agreements, security interests in their respective
inventory, accounts receivable, credit card receivables, certain deposit accounts and investment property and other related personal property (in the case of the Canadian subsidiaries, solely to secure obligations under the Canadian credit
facilities), and to further secure such obligations, certain domestic subsidiaries have agreed to grant mortgages and assignments of rent in certain real estate consisting of the principal executive offices and distribution centers of the Company
and its domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Facilities will be used to provide funds for general corporate purposes and working capital needs of the Company and its subsidiaries. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Credit Agreement amends and restates a credit agreement dated December&nbsp;2, 2014 (the &#147;Prior Credit Agreement&#148;), among the Company and
certain of its subsidiaries as borrowers, each lender from time to time party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase, N.A. (&#147;JPMorgan&#148;) as administrative agent for the lenders, and certain other parties and agents. JPMorgan has resigned as
administrative and collateral agent under the Prior Credit Agreement, and the Agent has been appointed as successor administrative agent, under a resignation and appointment of agent agreement, dated January&nbsp;30, 2019, among JPMorgan as
resigning agent, Agent as successor agent, and the lenders and borrowers party to the Prior Credit Agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Borrowings under the Credit Agreement
accrue interest at the election of the Company at an adjusted LIBO rate plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.125% to 1.375%) or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.125% to 0.375%), each such rate being based on
average borrowing availability under the Credit Facilities. Interest shall be payable quarterly and at the end of each applicable interest period for borrowing at such adjusted LIBO rate. A commitment fee equal to 0.20% per annum on the unused
portion of the aggregate commitments is payable quarterly in arrears. </P>

that must be satisfied prior to any borrowing as well as ongoing compliance with certain representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, in many cases subject to a material adverse effect in respect to the Company and its
restricted subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The Credit Agreement also contains various information and reporting requirements, and provides for various customary fees to be paid by the Company. </P>

ITEM 2.03
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On January 30, 2019, American Eagle
Outfitters, Inc. (the "Company") entered into asset-based credit facilities (the "Credit Facilities") evidenced by, among other documents, an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") among the
Company, as borrower, certain of its domestic and Canadian subsidiaries, as
co-borrowers
or guarantors, the lenders party thereto ("Lenders"), PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC"), in its
capacity as administrative agent (the "Agent"), PNC Capital Markets, LLC, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, and certain other parties and agents. The
Credit Agreement provides for an amended and restated senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility, including revolving loans and letters of credit, pursuant to which the Lenders from time to time will lend to and the issuing banks will
issue letters of credit for the account of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries in the aggregate amount of up to $400 million, which includes a swing line loan revolving facility, a Canadian revolving facility, and letter of credit
facilities. The Credit Facilities also include an uncommitted incremental feature (accordion) that could increase the aggregate principal amount up to an additional $150 million.
The Company and its domestic and Canadian subsidiaries, other than certain excluded subsidiaries, have granted to the Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders
and other secured parties), as collateral security for the obligations under the Credit Facilities, banking service agreements (including specified commercial letter of credit agreements) and swap agreements, security interests in their respective
inventory, accounts receivable, credit card receivables, certain deposit accounts and investment property and other related personal property (in the case of the Canadian subsidiaries, solely to secure obligations under the Canadian credit
facilities), and to further secure such obligations, certain domestic subsidiaries have agreed to grant mortgages and assignments of rent in certain real estate consisting of the principal executive offices and distribution centers of the Company
and its domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Facilities will be used to provide funds for general corporate purposes and working capital needs of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Credit Agreement amends and restates a credit agreement dated December 2, 2014 (the "Prior Credit Agreement"), among the Company and
certain of its subsidiaries as borrowers, each lender from time to time party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase, N.A. ("JPMorgan") as administrative agent for the lenders, and certain other parties and agents. JPMorgan has resigned as
administrative and collateral agent under the Prior Credit Agreement, and the Agent has been appointed as successor administrative agent, under a resignation and appointment of agent agreement, dated January 30, 2019, among JPMorgan as
resigning agent, Agent as successor agent, and the lenders and borrowers party to the Prior Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement
accrue interest at the election of the Company at an adjusted LIBO rate plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.125% to 1.375%) or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.125% to 0.375%), each such rate being based on
average borrowing availability under the Credit Facilities. Interest shall be payable quarterly and at the end of each applicable interest period for borrowing at such adjusted LIBO rate. A commitment fee equal to 0.20% per annum on the unused
portion of the aggregate commitments is payable quarterly in arrears.
2
The Credit Agreement matures on January 30, 2024, and requires compliance with conditions precedent
that must be satisfied prior to any borrowing as well as ongoing compliance with certain representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, in many cases subject to a material adverse effect in respect to the Company and its
restricted subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The Credit Agreement also contains various information and reporting requirements, and provides for various customary fees to be paid by the Company.
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. An event of default may cause the applicable interest rate and fees to increase by 2.0% per annum.
The foregoing is intended only to be a summary of the Credit Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the Credit Agreement, which is attached as
Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference.
