7. Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On March 4, 2021, the Company entered into a $1,700.0 million secured term loan facility originally maturing on March 4, 2028 (the “First Lien Term Loan”) and a secured asset-based revolving credit facility with availability of up to $500.0 million, subject to a borrowing base, originally maturing on March 4, 2026 (as amended from time to time, the “ABL Revolving Credit Facility”). In March 2024, the Company amended the ABL Revolving Credit Facility, which now consists of two tranches, to increase its total availability from $500.0 million to $581.0 million and extend the maturity on a portion of this availability. The first tranche has availability of up to $35.0 million, subject to a borrowing base, maturing on March 4, 2026. The second tranche has availability of up to $546.0 million, subject to a borrowing base, maturing on March 29, 2029. Interest on the ABL Revolving Credit Facility is based on, at the Company's option, either the base rate subject to a 1% floor, or Term SOFR subject to a floor of 0%, plus an applicable margin. All other key terms of the ABL Revolving Credit Facility remained unchanged.

The Company’s obligations under the First Lien Term Loan and ABL Revolving Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the personal property assets of the Company with differing priority rights to the various personal property assets ascribed to each facility. The credit facility agreements, while not identical, contain certain affirmative and negative covenants related to indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes in the business, investments, restricted payments and agreements and a fixed charge coverage ratio, among other things. As of January 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with its covenants on the agreements.

The credit agreements governing the First Lien Term Loan and ABL Revolving Credit Facility contain customary default provisions including, among others, the failure to make payments when due, defaults under other material indebtedness, non-compliance with covenants, change of control and bankruptcy, the occurrence of any of which would limit the Company’s ability to draw on the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and could result in the applicable lenders under the First Lien Term Loan and ABL Revolving Credit Facility accelerating the maturity of such indebtedness and foreclosing upon the collateral pledged thereunder.

Term Loan Facilities

Interest on the First Lien Term Loan was based on, at the Company’s option, either a base rate or Term SOFR plus the credit spread adjustment recommended by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee ("Adjusted Term SOFR"), subject to a 0.75% floor, payable upon maturity of the SOFR contract, in either case plus the applicable rate. The base rate was the greater of the bank prime rate, federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.0%. The applicable rate was 2.25% per annum for a base rate loan or 3.25% per annum for an Adjusted Term SOFR loan. Principal and interest payments commenced on June 30, 2021. Principal payments were normally $4.25 million quarterly.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company voluntarily repaid $95.3 million of the principal of the First Lien Term Loan using existing cash on hand. During fiscal 2023, the Company voluntarily repaid $75.0 million of the principal of the First Lien Term Loan using existing cash on hand. The repayments were applied to the remaining principal payments in order of scheduled payment date and, as a result, the entire remaining balance was included in senior secured credit facilities, net, excluding current portion in the consolidated balance sheets as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025. The Company accounted for the repayments as partial extinguishments and recognized losses on debt extinguishment of $0.6 million and $0.9 million during fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2023, respectively.

As of January 31, 2026, the outstanding principal balance of the First Lien Term Loan was $1,500.0 million ($1,491.8 million, net of the unamortized discount and debt issuance costs). As of February 1, 2025, the outstanding principal balance of the First Lien Term Loan was $1,595.3 million ($1,582.5 million, net of the unamortized discount and debt issuance costs). The weighted average interest rate on the borrowings outstanding was 7.3% and 7.9% as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, respectively. Debt issuance costs are being amortized over the contractual term to interest expense using the effective interest rate in effect at issuance. As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the estimated fair value of the First Lien Term Loan was approximately $1,496.3 million and $1,529.5 million, respectively, based upon Level 2 fair value hierarchy inputs (Note 1).

On February 2, 2026, the Company entered into a refinancing amendment to the credit agreement governing the First Lien Term Loan and issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”). Among other changes, the amendment provided that certain lenders would provide new term loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of $900.0 million (the “Amended First Lien Term Loan”), the proceeds of which, together with cash on hand and the proceeds from the Company's issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, would be used to repay the then outstanding principal on the First Lien Term Loan.

Interest under the Amended First Lien Term Loan is, at the Company’s option, either a base rate plus 3.25% or Term SOFR plus 4.25%. The base rate is the greater of the bank prime rate, federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or one month Term SOFR plus 1.0%. The Amended First Lien Term Loan matures on February 2, 2031. The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at 8.25% per annum and mature on February 1, 2031. Principal payments on the Amended First Lien Term Loan are $2.25 million quarterly and commence on June 30, 2026.

Revolving Credit Facilities

In March 2024, the Company amended the ABL Revolving Credit Facility to increase its total availability and extend the maturity on a portion of the availability. Fees of $3.0 million relating to the Company’s entry into the amendment were capitalized as debt issuance costs. These fees consisted of arranger fees and other third-party expenses. The unamortized portion of the debt issuance costs of the ABL Revolving Credit Facility previously capitalized is being amortized over the amended contractual term.

As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, no amounts were outstanding under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. At January 31, 2026, $467.5 million was available under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility, which is net of $58.4 million of outstanding letters of credit issued in the normal course of business and a $55.1 million borrowing base reduction for a shortfall in qualifying assets. Unamortized debt issuance costs of $3.2 million and $4.4 million relating to the ABL Revolving Credit Facility were outstanding and were being amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the agreement as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, respectively.

The ABL Revolving Credit Facility has availability up to $581.0 million, and a $150.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. The availability is limited to a borrowing base, which allows borrowings of up to 90% of eligible accounts receivable plus 90% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory plus up to $50.0 million of qualified cash of the Company to which the Company and guarantors have no access, less reserves as determined by the administrative agent. Letters of credit reduce the amount available to borrow under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility by their face value.

Prior to the March 2024 amendment, interest on the ABL Revolving Credit Facility was based on, at the Company’s option, either the base rate or Adjusted Term SOFR subject to a floor of 0%, in either case, plus an applicable margin. Following the March 2024 amendment, interest on the ABL Revolving Credit Facility is based on, at the Company's option, either the base rate subject to a 1% floor, or Term SOFR subject to a floor of 0%, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is currently equal to 25 basis points in the case of base rate loans and 125 basis points in the case of Term SOFR loans.

The applicable margin is adjusted quarterly based on the average historical excess availability as a percentage of the Line Cap, which represents the lesser of the aggregate ABL Revolving Credit Facility and the borrowing base, as follows:

About Debt Disclosures

Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.

Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
