Long-Term Debt
On March 19, 2026, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”), with Bank of America, N.A., as agent, and the banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders from time to time party thereto, providing for a $500.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan matures on March 19, 2029.
The Term Loan bears interest at an initial interest rate equal to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement, plus 1.00%, subject to adjustment based on (i) our credit ratings and (ii) our leverage ratio. The Term Loan Credit Agreement allows voluntary repayment of the Term Loan at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs with respect to SOFR loans. There is no required amortization under the Term Loan.
The Term Loan contains a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability to incur subsidiary indebtedness, incur liens, sell all or substantially all of our (including our subsidiaries’) assets and consummate certain fundamental changes. The Term Loan also contains financial covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio covenant and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenant. The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for certain events of default which, if any of them occur, would permit or require the Term Loan to be declared due and payable and the commitments thereunder to be terminated. As of May 2, 2026, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants.
Termination of the Existing Credit Agreement
Upon entering into the Term Loan Credit Agreement discussed above, and the expiry of the Company’s existing $1.0 billion 364-Day revolving credit agreement, dated as of March 21, 2025, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the “364-Day Revolving Credit Facility”) on March 20, 2026, all commitments under the 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility have been terminated and all obligations have been fulfilled.
Short-Term Borrowings
In connection with the maturity of the 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility on March 20, 2026, the Company decreased the size of its commercial paper program, with the issuance of commercial paper notes limited to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $1.5 billion, compared to the previous maximum permitted of $2.5 billion. The Company’s $1.5 billion revolving credit facility (the “Five-Year Credit Facility”) serves as a liquidity backstop for the repayment of notes outstanding under the commercial paper program.
There were no short-term borrowings outstanding at May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025.
