New Credit Agreement
On April 28, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), PVH Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit
Agreement”) by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto from time to time, and Barclays Bank PLC as administrative agent.
The following is a description of the material terms of the Credit Agreement:
The Credit Agreement consists of a $275,000,000 U.S. dollar-denominated revolving credit facility (the “Revolving
Credit Facility”), under which the Company is the borrower.
Currently, no Company subsidiary has guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and the obligations under the Credit Agreement are unsecured. The Company can cause any of its subsidiaries to guarantee its obligations under the Credit Agreement by
providing the administrative agent a counterpart agreement pursuant to which such subsidiary agrees to become a guarantor. In addition, if a specified credit ratings decrease (as described in the Credit Agreement) occurs during the Covenant Relief
Period (as defined below), (i) 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 (ii) the Company and each subsidiary guarantor
must grant liens in favor of Barclays Bank PLC, as collateral agent, on substantially all of their respective assets (subject to customary exceptions). The foregoing must be completed within 120 days after the occurrence of the specified ratings
decrease. The “Covenant Relief Period” is the period commencing on the Closing Date and (unless terminated before such date by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement) ending on the date on which the administrative agent
receives the Company’s compliance certificate in respect of the Company’s second fiscal quarter in its 2021 fiscal year.
The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on April 27, 2022.
The outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement are prepayable at any time without penalty (other than customary
breakage costs). The borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at the Company’s option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the prime rate, (ii)
the United States federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (iii) a one-month reserve adjusted Eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the Credit Agreement.
The initial applicable margin with respect to borrowings will be 1.375% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 0.375%
for base rate loans, respectively, plus, in each case until the termination of the Covenant Relief Period (including the date of such termination), 0.25%. After the date of delivery of the compliance certificate and financial statements with respect
to the Company’s fiscal quarter in which the Closing Date occurs, the applicable margin for borrowings will be subject to adjustment based upon the Company’s net leverage ratio and/or public debt rating (as more fully described in the Credit
Agreement) plus, until the termination of the Covenant Relief Period (including the date of such termination), 0.25%.
The Company has not yet made any borrowing under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants. The
Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio, except that during the Covenant Relief Period, the Company will not be subject to the minimum interest coverage ratio or the maximum
net leverage ratio financial covenant, but is required to maintain minimum liquidity (as described in the Credit Agreement) of at least $400,000,000. The method of calculating all of the components used in such financial covenants is set forth in the
Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including but not limited to, nonpayment; material
inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violations of covenants; certain bankruptcies and liquidations; cross-default to material indebtedness; certain material judgments; certain events related to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended; certain events related to certain of the guarantees by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, if applicable, and certain pledges of its assets and those of certain of its subsidiaries, if applicable, as security for the obligations
under the Credit Agreement; and a change in control (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
Amendment to Credit and Guaranty Agreement, Dated as of April 29, 2019
On April 28, 2021, the Company, together with certain of its subsidiaries, also entered into an amendment (the
“Amendment”) to its Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2019, among the Company and such subsidiaries, Barclays Bank PLC as Administrative Agent, Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Lead Bookrunner, Citibank, N.A. as Syndication Agent,
Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Lead Bookrunner, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as Syndication Agent, Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Lead Bookrunner, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Documentation Agent, Joint Lead Arranger and Joint
Lead Bookrunner, Royal Bank of Canada as Documentation Agent, MUFG Securities Americas Inc. as Documentation Agent, US Bancorp as Documentation Agent, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as Documentation Agent and RBC Capital Markets, LLC as Joint Lead
Arranger and Joint Lead Bookrunner, as the same was previously amended.
The Amendment permits the incurrence of any liens securing the Credit Agreement, if and when required, as discussed
above.
