On April 20, 2018, Toys “R” Us, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), TRU Taj LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuer”), TRU Taj Finance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Co-Issuer” and, together with the Issuer, the “TRU Taj Issuers”) and certain investors entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with respect to the issuance and sale of $80,000,000 aggregate principal amount (the “Additional DIP Notes”) of the TRU Taj Issuers’ 11% Senior Secured DIP Notes (the “DIP Notes”) which are expected to become fungible with the DIP Notes issued under the Indenture dated September 22, 2017. An interim order (the “Interim Order”) authorizing the TRU Taj Issuers’ issuance and sale of the Additional DIP Notes was entered by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (the “Bankruptcy Court”) on April 13, 2018.

At closing, the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Additional DIP Notes were funded into an escrow account, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, $10.6 million of such proceeds will be immediately available for use by the TRU Taj Issuers and the remaining proceeds from the escrow account will be available upon satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement governing such release, including, among other things, the entry by the Bankruptcy Court of a final order approving the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The proceeds of the issuance and sale of the Additional DIP Notes will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including funding for the Company’s operations in Asia.

On April 20, 2018, in connection with the issuance of the Additional DIP Notes, the TRU Taj Issuers, the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee, executed a sixth supplemental indenture (the “DIP Notes Supplemental Indenture”) providing for the sale of the Additional DIP Notes, a special mandatory redemption provision in the event that the Bankruptcy Court does not enter a final order approving the Purchase Agreement and certain amendments to the covenants set forth in the indenture governing the DIP Notes (as amended and supplemented, the “DIP Notes Indenture”). In addition, on April 20, 2018, the TRU Taj Issuers, the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, executed a fourth supplemental indenture (the “Prepetition Notes Supplemental Indenture”) to the indenture governing the TRU Taj Issuers’ 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the “Prepetition Notes”), providing for certain amendments to the covenants set forth in the indenture governing the Prepetition Notes.

The foregoing descriptions of the DIP Notes Supplemental Indenture and the Prepetition Notes Supplemental Indenture do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

As a result of the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of the Interim Order as described above, the TRU Taj Issuers’ waivers relating to certain events of defaults under the DIP Notes and the Prepetition Notes, including as a result of certain insolvency proceedings and related initiatives with respect to affiliates of the TRU Taj Issuers (the “Waivers”) from certain holders of the DIP Notes and the Prepetition Notes, as applicable, will continue and will now automatically terminate on May 12, 2018 in the event the Bankruptcy Court does not enter a final order approving the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by such date.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 “Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement” is incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.

On April 19, 2018, the TRU Taj Issuers completed the issuance of $80,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Additional DIP Notes in a private placement. The Additional DIP Notes were issued under the DIP Notes Indenture as additional notes of the same series as the $375,000,000 aggregate principal amount of DIP previously issued by the TRU Taj Issuers and outstanding under such DIP Notes Indenture.

The offer and sale of the Additional DIP Notes was made solely in private placement transactions exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

More information on the terms of the Additional DIP Notes may be found in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, furnished on April 9, 2018.
