Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Financial Statements and Exhibits
On June 29, 2012 (the "Closing Date"), Avon Products, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a $500.0 million Term Loan Agreement with Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Santander Investment Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs Bank USA and BBVA Compass, as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, and the other lenders party thereto (the "Credit Agreement").
The Credit Agreement provides for a $500.0 million term loan facility, subject
to a possible one-time increase, as may be requested by the Company, by up to an
aggregate incremental principal amount of $250.0 million in commitments that may
be subscribed by existing lenders under the Credit Agreement or new lenders. The
Credit Agreement is available for general corporate purposes, including funding
or making payments for the debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and
funding loans from the Company to any of its subsidiaries. Amounts borrowed
under the Credit Agreement and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
The Credit Agreement provides for mandatory prepayments and voluntary
prepayments. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company is required to prepay
fifty percent (50%) of the net cash proceeds received from any incurrence by it
or any of its subsidiaries of debt for borrowed money in excess of $500.0
million. Voluntary prepayments by the Company under the Credit Agreement are
permitted at any time without fee (other than customary breakage costs relating
to the prepayment of any drawn loans) upon proper notice and subject to a
minimum dollar requirement.
The Company borrowed $500.0 million on the Closing Date. The Company is required
to repay (i) on June 29, 2014, an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of
the aggregate principal amount of the loans made by the lenders on the Closing
Date (less any amounts prepaid) and (ii) on June 29, 2015, the then outstanding
aggregate principal amount of the loans made under the Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum, which
will be, at the Company's option, either LIBOR plus an applicable margin or a
floating base rate plus an applicable margin, in each case subject to adjustment
based on the credit ratings of the Company.
The Credit Agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants,
which are customary for financings of this type, including, among other things,
limits on the incurrence of liens, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a
maximum leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement also includes events of default,
which are customary for facilities of this type (with customary grace periods,
as applicable), including provisions under which, upon the occurrence of an
event of default, all outstanding loans may be accelerated. Also under such
provisions, upon the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy related
events of default, all amounts payable under the Credit Agreement shall
automatically become immediately due and payable.
Certain of the financial institutions that are parties to the Credit Agreement
provide or have provided a variety of financial services to the Company and its
affiliates, including investment banking, cash management, equipment financing
and leasing services, the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees, and
interest rate and foreign exchange derivative arrangements.
The foregoing does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the Credit
Agreement, and reference is made to the complete text of the agreement, which is
attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The disclosure required by this item is included in Item 1.01 and is
incorporated herein by reference.
