Item 8.01. Other Events.
Chinos Intermediate Holdings A, Inc. ("Chinos A"), the indirect parent holding company of J.Crew Group, Inc. (the "Company") is the issuer of $500 million aggregate principal of 7.75/8.50% Senior PIK Toggle Notes due May 1, 2019 (the "PIK Notes").  The PIK Notes interest is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year.
On October 30, 2015, Chinos A delivered notice to U.S. Bank N.A., as trustee, under the Indenture governing the PIK Notes, that with respect to the interest that will be due on such notes on the May 2, 2016 interest payment date, Chinos A will make such interest payment by paying in kind at the PIK interest rate of 8.50% instead of paying in cash.  The PIK election will increase the outstanding principal balance of the PIK Notes by $21.3 million.
Chinos A intends to continue to evaluate this option prior to the beginning of each interest period, taking into account the ability of Chinos A to elect to PIK pursuant to the terms of the PIK Notes and the indenture governing the PIK Notes and other relevant factors at that time.
As of October 30, 2015, the Company has approximately $260 million of availability under its $300 million ABL Facility.  Any amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility are due and payable in full on December 10, 2019.
