Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On July 28, 2021, Signet Jewelers Limited (the "Company") entered into the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "Second Amendment"), which amends the Company's senior secured asset-based credit facility (the "ABL Facility") under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2019 (as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, the "Existing Credit Agreement"; the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by the Second Amendment, the "Amended Credit Agreement"), by and among (i) the Company, as holdings, (ii) Signet Group Limited, as the lead administrative borrower, a lead borrower and a borrower, (iii) Signet Group Treasury Services Inc., Sterling Jewelers Inc., Signet Trading Limited and Zale Canada Co., each as a lead borrower and a borrower, (iv) Sterling Inc., Zale Delaware, Inc., R2Net Inc. and R2Net Manufacturing Inc., each as a borrower, (v) the other borrowers from time to time party thereto, (vi) the lenders and issuers from time to time party thereto and (vii) Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent and security trustee.
The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured asset-based credit facility of up to the lesser of $1.5 billion and a borrowing base based on the value of certain inventory and third-party credit card receivables, subject to specified advance rates and reserves (the "ABL Revolving Commitments"), and:
•
extends the maturity date of the ABL Facility from September 27, 2024 to July 28, 2026;
•
allows the Company to increase the size of the ABL Facility, including in the form of first-in last-out term loans, by up to $600 million subject to certain conditions contained in the Second Amendment;
•
amends certain representations, warranties and covenants to which the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject, as obligors under the ABL Facility, including removing, in certain circumstances, the requirement for monthly financial reporting; and
•
provides for a SONIA-based interest rate for borrowings denominated in Pounds Sterling and includes provisions for determining an alternative rate of interest after the expected phase out of LIBOR or in certain other circumstances.
Except for the changes noted above, the material terms and conditions of the ABL Facility remain substantially unchanged. The Company does not currently have any outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility.
The foregoing description of the Second Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Second Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
