ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT; ITEM 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT.

On June 3, 2020 (the “First Amendment Effective Date”), PVH Corp. (the “Company”), together with certain of its subsidiaries, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its existing credit agreement, dated as of April 29, 2019 (the “Original Credit Agreement” and as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) with the consenting lenders party thereto and Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent (the “Agent”).

The Amendment establishes a covenant relief period (the “Covenant Relief Period”) commencing on the First Amendment Effective Date and (unless earlier terminated by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement) ending on the date on which the Agent receives the Company’s compliance certificate in respect of the Company’s second fiscal quarter in its 2021 fiscal year.  During the Covenant Relief Period, the Company will not be subject to any minimum interest coverage ratio or maximum net leverage ratio financial covenant (collectively, the “Original Financial Covenants”), but is required to maintain minimum liquidity (as described in the Credit Agreement) of at least $400,000,000.  After the Covenant Relief Period, the Original Financial Covenants will again apply to the Company; however, to the extent the Covenant Relief Period is not terminated early by the Company, the Credit Agreement provides for a higher maximum net leverage ratio in the second and third fiscal quarter of the Company’s 2021 fiscal year.

The Amendment also provides that during the Covenant Relief Period (a) the applicable margin for any loan will be increased by 0.25% per annum, (b) the Company will not be permitted to make Restricted Payments (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to certain exceptions, and its ability to incur indebtedness and liens will be reduced and (c) if the Company’s public debt rating is downgraded to certain levels by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, the Company must cause each of its wholly owned United States subsidiaries (subject to certain customary exceptions) to become a guarantor under the Credit Agreement and the Company and each such subsidiary guarantor will be required to grant liens in favor of Barclays Bank PLC, as collateral agent, on their respective assets (subject to certain customary exceptions), which guarantees and liens will be released upon the Company’s public debt rating being upgraded to certain levels, all as further described in the Credit Agreement.
