Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Revolving Credit Facility
On February 5, 2013, Starbucks Corporation (the "Company") entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Citibank, N.A. as Co-Syndication Agents, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., The Bank of Nova Scotia, U.S. Bank National Association and Morgan Stanley MUFG Loan Partners, LLC, as Co-Documentation Agents, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers, and each of the other Lenders a party thereto.
The Credit Agreement provides for a $750,000,000 unsecured, revolving credit facility (of which $150,000,000 may be used for the issuances of letters of credit) and is scheduled to mature on February 5, 2018. Provided there is no default, the Company may, from time to time, request an increase from the lenders in the aggregate commitments by an amount not exceeding $750,000,000 for a total aggregate facility commitment not to exceed $1,500,000,000.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a variable interest rate based on LIBOR, and, for U.S. Dollar-denominated loans under certain circumstances, a Base Rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on the better of (i) the Company's long-term credit ratings assigned by Moody's and Standard & Poor's rating agencies, and (ii) the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio, pursuant to a pricing grid set forth in the Credit Agreement.  The current applicable margin is 0.795% for Eurocurrency Rate Loans and 0.00% for Base Rate Loans.  During an event of default under the Credit Agreement, interest on the outstanding amount of the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2% in excess of the interest then borne by such borrowings.
The Credit Agreement contains provisions requiring the Company to maintain compliance with certain covenants, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.50 to 1. The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default, including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, cross default to certain other indebtedness, invalidity of any loan document, material judgments, bankruptcy and insolvency events, and change of control, subject, in certain instances, to cure periods. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may elect to declare amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable.
A copy of the Credit Agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference as though it were fully set forth herein. The description above is a summary of the Credit Agreement, does not provide a complete description of the Credit Agreement, and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Credit Agreement itself.
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
