ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On July
10, 2020, Columbia Sportswear Company (the “Company”) entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the administrative agent for the lenders and as a lender (the “Administrative Agent”), and Bank of America, N.A., as a lender (together with the Administrative Agent, the “Lenders”)(the “Original Credit Agreement”). Except to the extent described herein and the exhibits hereto, the terms of the Original Credit Agreement, as previously described on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on April 16, 2020, were not materially modified by the First Amendment. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the First Amendment
or the Original Credit Agreement, as applicable.
The First Amendment provides for suspensions of and adjustments to the financial covenants beginning on the July 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the “Covenant Suspension Period”) as follows:
•the Funded Debt Ratio no longer needs to be maintained during the Covenant Suspension Period;
•the Interest Coverage Ratio no longer needs to be maintained during the Covenant Suspension Period; and
•the Company must maintain liquidity (inclusive of unrestricted
and unencumbered cash-on-hand of the Company and its subsidiaries and, with certain limitations, availability under the revolving credit facilities provided for in the Original Credit Agreement) of not less than $200,000,000 as of each calendar month end during the Covenant Suspension Period.
In addition, while the Original Credit Agreement provided for a minimum LIBOR rate of 0.75% in the case of Revolving A Loans and 1.00% in the case of Revolving B Loans, the First Amendment revised these minimum LIBOR rates to be 0.50% in the case of both Revolving A and Revolving B Loans. The First Amendment also provides for a Letter of Credit facility and contains modifications to certain other negative covenants. This includes a
change to the negative indebtedness covenant to allow for up to $350 million in additional unsecured indebtedness.
In connection with the First Amendment, the Company amended and restated the Collateral Agreement, originally dated as of April 15, 2020, by the Company and Columbia Brands USA, LLC (“Brands”), in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (the “Amended and Restated Collateral Agreement”) to provide for a pledge by the Company and Brands of 65% of its equity interests in foreign subsidiaries.
The Company and Brands also entered into pledge agreements with respect to the collateral pledged under the Amended and Restated Collateral Agreement.
The foregoing does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the First Amendment nor the Original Credit Agreement and reference is made to the description of the Original Credit Agreement included in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on April 16, 2020, and the complete text of the First Amendment (which includes the full text of the Original Credit Agreement as amended by the First Amendment), which is filed as Exhibit
10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, entered into as of July 10, 2020, among Columbia Sportswear Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the administrative agent for the lenders and as a lender, and
Bank of America, N.A., as a lender.
