ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On December 20, 2012, PVH Corp. (the “Company”) issued $700 million principal amount of 4.500% senior notes due 2022 (the “Notes”) under an Indenture, dated as of December 20, 2012, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2013. The Notes are the Company’s unsecured unsubordinated obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of its other existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future obligations that are by their terms expressly subordinated or junior in right of payment to the Notes.
The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes on or after December 15, 2017 at specified redemption prices. The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time prior to December 15, 2017 by paying a “make-whole” premium plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. The Company may also redeem up to 35% of the Notes prior to December 15, 2015 with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a specified redemption price. In addition, if the Company does not consummate its previously announced acquisition of The Warnaco Group, Inc. (“Warnaco”) on or before August 20, 2013 or if the Company terminates the merger agreement with Warnaco or otherwise abandons the transaction prior to such date, the Company will be required to redeem all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.
The Indenture contains covenants that limit, among other things, the Company’s ability to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay dividends or make distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, its capital stock; redeem or repurchase its subordinated indebtedness; make certain investments; enter into arrangements that restrict dividends from its subsidiaries; sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of its subsidiaries; enter into transactions with affiliates; create certain liens; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and consolidate or merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets and the assets of its subsidiaries. In addition, the Company is obligated to offer to repurchase the Notes at a price of (a) 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as a result of certain change of control events and (b) 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in the event of certain asset sales. These restrictions and prohibitions are subject to certain qualifications and exceptions.
The foregoing description of the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
