ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On August 12, 2015, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other agents and lenders named therein (the “Lenders”) (the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”). The Amended and Restated Credit Facility amends the secured credit facility entered into on December 5, 2011 between the Company and the lenders thereof, by, among other things, (i) increasing the Lender commitments from $500 million to $1 billion, (ii) reducing applicable margins on base rate loans and LIBO rate loans, (iii) extending the maturity date to August 12, 2020 and (iv) increasing the Company’s capacity under certain negative covenants.
The Company is the borrower under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, which provides for a $1 billion revolving credit facility, including up to $150 million in the form of letters of credit. Other than the issuance of certain letters of credit, the Amended and Restated Secured Credit Facility is undrawn as of August 12, 2015. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, the Company is entitled on one or more occasions, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to request an increase in the commitments under the revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $250 million. The Company will pay certain recurring fees with respect to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, including fees on the unused commitments of the Lenders.
The aggregate amount of loans permitted to be made to the Company under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility may not exceed a borrowing base consisting of the lesser of: (i) the aggregate amount of commitments or (ii) the sum of specified percentages of eligible receivables and eligible inventory, minus certain availability reserves. In addition, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility requires that the Company maintain a minimum adjusted availability.
All of the indebtedness outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company’s current and future domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries). In addition, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest (subject to certain permitted liens) in certain property and assets, including accounts, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts and other personal property relating to the accounts and inventory, of the Company and its current and future domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries).
The interest rates per annum applicable to loans, other than swingline loans, under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility will be, at the Company’s option, equal to either a base rate or an adjusted LIBO rate for one, two, three or six-month interest periods chosen by the Company, in each case plus an applicable margin percentage.
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility contains customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default as more particularly described in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility.
The above summary of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
